TIM tools performance (30.03.05) — The TIM tools had been slow to startup. Fixed performance issue. more
prn2pdf failed on landscape documents (29.03.05) — prn2pdf.py failed when landscape mode was requested. It forgot to rotate the first page, remainaing pages were okay.
prn2pdf now uses sys.stdin.encoding (25.03.05) — prn2pdf.py assumed a hard-coded value "cp850" for encoding of the input file. Now it uses sys.stdin.encoding. So in a Windows cmd box the input file is supposed to use the same codepage as the command box itself.
i18n.py on English-speaking locale (18.03.05) — On a machine with a language set to English, i18n thought that it has to look up a translation. Bug fixed.
BaseJob.refresh() (14.03.05) — BaseJob has now a refresh() method. Job.status() and Job.increment() call this automatically. But a Task must call it if it wants to refresh the display without calling increment(). more
show GUI console window during startup (13.03.05) — When Raceman decided to re-import the DBF files in --loadfrom during startup, then nothing of this was visible. That's why the console window now opens automatically as frist frame before calling Application.init().
renamed info() to notice() (12.03.05) — maybe not yet everywhere. Remember that I announced this on 10.03.05.
moving away from a singleton console (12.03.05) — When running the test cases, their output went to screen instead of being captured. more
use standard Python logging module? (10.03.05) — Should I use the standard logging module? Still thinking about relationship between Console, UI, Form etc. more
frozen console applications with non-ascii chars (10.03.05) — I started to translate some messages for sync.py, using i18n. I noticed that there was a problem with non-ascii chars, at least on my Windows box. more
frozen GUI applications and console output (09.03.05) — When a GUI application like Raceman and Keeper is frozen using py2exe, then sys.stdout is redirected by default to a «black hole». I changed this because I think that console output into a decent separate window is useful.
GUI console (06.03.05) — Lots of changes. Toolkit, Application,... New TextViewer class to display the console output when running as GUI. All this is still unstable. Added Keeper to mkdist.py. Commited revision 146.
Describable.hasLabel() (04.03.05) — Since Describable.getLabel() never returns None (but uses the name if a label wasn't set), there is now a method hasLabel() which returns True is a label *really* was set. Form now supports entries without label. more
worked on Job, Task and ProgressBar (04.03.05) more
new Center.connect() (02.03.05)
