MCC TextEditor 15.56

Version 15.56 of MCC TextEditor

Changes:

• mcc/Methods.c: implemented the method MUIM_TextEditor_TestPos similar to the
  MUIM_List_TestPos method of MUI's List class to obtain some information
  based on mouse coordinates. This closes #35.
• dist: added italian translation to Installer script kindly provided by Samir
  Hawamdeh. This closes #34.

MCC TextEditor 15.55

Version 15.55 of MCC TextEditor

Changes:

• ClipboardServer.c: changed the default path for "CURRDIR:" and "PROGDIR:" to
  "T:", because the "MUI:" assign does not exist on all systems, i.e. AROS.
  This closes #31.

• mcc/InitConfig.c: a custom font can now be set via MUIA_Font. Any valid
  TextFont structure as well as MUI's MUIV_Font_XXX definitions will be
  accepted. This closes #29 again.

• mcc/GetSetAttrs.c: added a workaround to skip the artifical nesting of
  OM_SET in MUIM_Draw in order to avoid double triggers of attributes like
  MUIA_ContextMenuTrigger. This closes #28.

MCC TextEditor 15.54

Version 15.54 of MCC TextEditor

Changes:

• ClipboarsServer.c: set "MUI:" as default "CURRDIR:" and "PROGDIR:" for the
  global clipboard server process to avoid locking the directory of the first
  started MUI application using this class until it is eventually flushed from
  memory.
• PrintLineWithStyles.c: added a custom implementation of
  WritePixelArrayAlpha() in case cybergraphics.library is older than V45.
• PrintLineWithStyles.c: fixed a possible division by zero bug during alpha
  channel reconstruction. Furthermore the already exclusively allocated pen is
  used for the transparent text as well.

MCC TextEditor 15.53

Version 15.53 of MCC TextEditor

Changes:

• PrintLineWithStyles.c: simplified the SetRPAttrs() call for all systems,
  since each system has different requirements on mandatory tags. This refs
  #26.
• mcc/UndoFunctions.c: moved the triggering of MUIA_TextEditor_Undo and _Redo
  a few lines further down so that a hook being triggered by these attributes
  and which get()'s the attributes reads the correct states. This closes #25.
• demo/TextEditor-Demo.c: enable/disable the Undo/Redo buttons according to
  the Undo/Redo availability state.

MCC TextEditor 15.52

Version 15.52 of MCC TextEditor

Changes:

• PrintLineWithStyles.c: fixed a wrong alpha channel check which caused
  crashes on AmigaOS3 in case the system/screen does not support transparency
  at all. This closes #23.

MCC TextEditor 15.51

Version 15.51 of MCC TextEditor

Changes:

• PrintLineWithStyles.c: integrated the display of transparent text for
  AmigaOS3 as known from MUI5 for AmigaOS. Now the alternative text can be
  displayed with 50% transparency on AmigaOS3, too.
• mcc/GetSetAttrs.c: the alternative text will be displayed with 50%
  transparency if the editor object has the RGB mode enabled and if the system
  supports this feature. Otherwise it will be displayed in italics as usual.
• mcc/Dispatcher.c: don't show a ghost cursor in case the alternative text is
  displayed in inactive state.
• mcc/misc: implemented MUIA_TextEditor_InactiveContents to set an alternative
  text, which will be displayed when no other text has been entered by the
  user or been set by the application and the editor object is not the active
  object. This closes #22.

MCC TextEditor 15.50

Version 15.50 of MCC TextEditor

Changes:

• mcp/Dispatcher.c: add the unique names for private custom classes for MUI4
  and up only. With MUI 3.8 this causes crashes.
• mcc/Dispatcher.c: don't trigger unwanted notifications in case an
  application sets an attribute like MUIA_TextEditor_HasChanged in parallel
  with MUIA_NoNotify=TRUE.
• mcc/Dispatcher.c: forget about any possible detected changes due to the
  initial text import right during OM_NEW.
• mcc/HandleInput.c: respect any meta data for triggering the attribute
  MUIA_TextEditor_MetaDataChanged in case a deleted block contains some.
• mcc: optimized the handling of the new attributes to get notified about
  changes of contents and metadata. I.e. changing the alignment should no
  longer trigger MUIA_TextEditor_ContentsChanged.
• mcc: implemented the attributes MUIA_TextEditor_ContentsChanged and
  MUIA_TextEditor_MetaDataChanged to complement the already existing but more
  global attribute MUIA_TextEditor_HasChanged. The latter attribute can
  reflect arbitrary changes only, while the former two attributes will
  distinguish between changed textual contents and changed meta data like
  alignment, color or style.
• mcc/GetSetAttrs.c: reworked the global alignment handling. Setting the
  global alignment no longer destroys any previously set line based alignment
  and can also be set during OM_NEW. This finally closes #20.
• mcc/GetSetAttrs.c, mcc/Navigation.c: implemented MUIA_TextEditor_GlobalFlow
  to set a global text alignment instead of a line based one. This refs #20.
• mcc/Methods.c: the MUIM_TextEditor_IndexToCursorXY method now returns a
  boolean value which indicates whether the index could be successfully
  converted to an X/Y position pair or not.
• mcp/Dispatcher.c: added unique names for private custom classes.
• mcc, mcp: removed an unused pen setting.
• mcp/CreatePrefsGroup.c: removed the explicit column numbers from the title
  format. These are of no use when the column order is static.
• mcp/ObjectCreator.c: fixed the wrong attribute for the settings items
  MUICFG_TextEditor_BlockQual. A numeric value must not be pen spec. This refs
  #19.
• mcc/HandleInput.c: explicitly check for no block qualifier (mouse only).
  This refs #19.
• mcc/NewGfx.c: fixed a warning about using an uninitialized variable.
• mcc/EditorStuff.c: Corrected raster scroll in accordance with bottom space
  usage.
• mcc/GetSetAttrs.c: Corrected line dump in accordance w. bottom space usage.
• mcc/HandleInput.c, mcc/Methods.c:
  Implemented new behaviour for user clicks in the bottom space.
• mcc/MixedFunctions.c: Better cursor drawing and drawbottom evaluations and
  tweaks for bottom space usage
• mcc/Navigation.c : Tweaks for bottom space usage.
• mcc/PrintLinesWithStyles.c: A bug in separator drawing removed. Better
  evaluation for partial line drawing in double buffer mode.
• mcc/Methods.c: horizontal autoscroll when block marking implemented.
• mcc/private.h, mcc/GetSetAttrs.c, mcc/Dispatcher.c,
  mcc/MixedFunctions.c, mcc/PrintLinesWithStyles.c:
  • Correct horizontal pattern calculations and scroll implementations.
  • Graphic glithces at the bottom of the gadget removed.
  • data->xpos made LONG and typecasts removed.
• mcc/CaseConversion.c, mcc/ColorOperators.c, mcc/Dispatcher.c,
  mcc/EditorStuff.c, mcc/GetSetAttrs.c, mcc/HandleInput.c, MixedFunctions.c,
  mcc/Navigation.c, mcc/NewGfx.c, mcc/PrintLineWithStyles.c,
  mcc/StyleOperators.c, mcc/UndoFunctions.c, mcc/private.h,
  include/mui/TextEditor_mcc.h:
  • Lots of (re-)implementations to support a horizontal scroller in
    NoWrapMode.
  • TextFitNew() and TextLengthNew() are re-implemented to support very large
    input/return values and instead of taking a dummy TextExtent, TextFitNew()
    now takes a TextExtentNew structure which uses LONG type members and fills
    it properly.
    So that its te.Width member can be used instead of calling another
    TextLengthNew(). This provides very good optimization.
  • Cursor being drawn out of gadget boundaries issue when in NoWrapMode
    resolved.
  • Issue of highlighted text changing color when edited resolved.
  • Passing a NULL to this MUIA_TextEditor_HorizontalScroll now acts as a
    switch for turning off horizontal scrolling even in NoWrapMode.
  • Behaviour of FLG_HScroll re-implemented
    (now keeps the state of horizontal scrolling on or off).
  • New public attribute MUIA_TextEditor_HorizontalSlider (passing a NULL to
    this attribute disables the horizontal scroll facilities).
• library.c: moved the system and CPU description behind the copyright part.
• all/Debug.c: declare inlined _INDENT() function as static to avoid warnings
  of GCC5.
• mcp/Makefile: generate ISO8859-1 encoded catalogs instead of UTF8 encoded
  ones.
• mcc/ClipboardServer.c: fixed a missing initialization of the session local
  instance data pointer which caused a crash when copying text to the
  clipboard. This closes #4.

MCC TextEditor 15.47

Version 15.47 of MCC TextEditor

Changes:

• create a fully layered rastport for double buffering instead of using a non-layered one. This fixes the issues with italic text starting in the first column. Italic text might cause drawing to coordinates left of the desired text position and hence requires proper clipping.
• implemented a new method to cause asynchronous redraws. This is necessary, because MUI4 forbids recursive invokations of MUIM_Draw to avoid infinit loops. However, the best approach would be to fix this in TextEditor.mcc directly and NOT to call MUI_Redraw() recursively.
• fixed a coloring issue in pen mode
• implemented MUIA_TextEditor_RGBMode to completely avoid the usage of pens for text rendering. All pen numbers will be converted to direct RGB values as soon as their color information is available, i.e. MUIM_Setup was called for the TextEditor object.
• reworked the RGB color handling to be independent of patches like AfAOS on AmigaOS3.
• export the lower 24bits of the RGB color only for consistency with the documentation and the import functions.
• use SetRPAttrs() only to set the text color
• implemented support for direct RGB color specs as known from MUI4's text engine. Use escape sequences like \033P[RRGGBB] to set the RGB color "RRGGBB" encoded in hex. The visual display of such RGB colors requires a hi/truecolor screen and a graphics.library which is able to handle such RGB colors. The latter is true for AmigaOS 4, MorphOS and AROS. For AmigaOS 3.x a patch like AfAOS is required.
• implemented an alternative way to handle the current cursor position. This way no longer treats the position as separate X and Y values but as an index into the text buffer. This index value is then converted into the known X and Y values automatically. Thanks to Andreas Falkenhahn for the suggestion.
