- =============
- Release Notes
- =============
-
- v3.3 (21.2.96, olf)
-
- - updated the interfaces for MUI 3.3
-
- - ATTENTION: new parameter 'flags' for moObtainPen()!
-
- v3.2.2 (7.2.96, olf)
-
- - introduced MuiClassSupport: some functions to make life easier when
- creating own customclasses. See docs/MuiClassSupport.doc for
- documentation, Class2.mod and Class3.mod for example usage.
-
- - when using MUIOBSOLETE=TRUE in MuiMacros, the TagBuffer was too small.
- Fixed. (Marc Ewert)
-
- - Demosources now also use MuiClassSupport and do compile again. They
- didn't in v3.2.1 due to the changes from Stefan Schulz (APTR moved to
- MuiD).
-
- v3.2.1 (3.2.96, olf)
-
- - updated the interfaces for MUI 3.2
-
- - included Stuntzi's automatic headers (these have not been updated in the
- MUI 3.2 distribution)
-
- - included some changes from Stefan 'eau' Schulz and Christian 'Kochtopf'
- Scholz (Thanks!)
-
- - fixed MOLabelFlags (flags were misaligned, thanks to Marc Ewert for
- reporting!)
-
- v3.1.1 (27.11.95, olf)
-
- - MuiD.def now really has the MUIOBSOLETE compiler option. This was missing
- in the MUI 3.1 release.
-
- - due to Stuntzi's automatic headerfile generation, MUI2COMPAT will not be
- supported any longer.
-
- - Demos now compile with MUIOBSOLETE set to FALSE, which also means they
- will only run with MUI 3 (and above). Be careful, they do *not* check
- which MUI version you're using!
-
- ----- BEGIN Olf's Notes for v3.1 ------------------------------------------
-
- While updating the Modula interfaces to MUI-3 I have made some minor
- changes to MUIClasses (to make them more "Modula-like"), so don't wonder,
- if your programs do not compiled out of the box with the new interface.
- However my changes should not affect too many programs, so I hope you can
- live with them.
-
- Also there are some compiler-options in the modules which may need some
- explanation, they are:
-
- MUIOBSOLETE
-
- set this to TRUE to enable all the tags that have been declared obsolete
- during MUI-development. *Please* try to update your programs so they
- compile with MUIOBSOLETE set to FALSE.
-
- MUI2COMPAT
-
- In MUI-3 some tags have been declared obsolete which have been heavily used
- in MUI-2 apps (i.e. maWindowCycleChain). If you want your programs to be
- MUI-2 compatible, but have eliminated all your MUIOBSOLETE tags, you should
- set this option to TRUE.
-
- MUI3
-
- In MuiMacros some MUI-3 specific Macrocalls have been added. If you set
- this attribute to FALSE they will be excluded from compilation, so you may
- check if your application will still run under MUI-2. I have not included
- this option in MuiD and MuiClasses because of lazyness ;-)
-
- The interfaces are not too heavily tested, but I'm currently developing a
- bigger application with them (which also uses custom-classes). At least I
- didn't discover any bugs until now (Nov 18, 1995) :-)
-
- Anyway, if you discover any bugs or missing tags, please contact Christian
- or me, to ensure they are included in the next release of the Interfaces.

- ----- END Olf's Notes -----------------------------------------------------
-
-
- Here are the files you need to write MUI-Programs with M2Amiga.
- Present are in this version the macros defined in mui.h. They are
- implemented in MuiMacros and in MuiClasses (the ones related to
- custom-class-programming)
-
-
- Description of the files :
-
- MuiD.def : Definitions of MethodIDs, AttributeIDs, etc.
- MuiD.mod : Some additional PROCEDUREs for some #define's in mui.h
- MuiL.def : The interface for muimaster.library
- MuiSupport.def : Additional PROCEDUREs like DoMethod or fail.
- MuiSupport.mod : The implementation of these PROCEDUREs.
- MuiMacros.def : Some Macros converted from mui.h
- MuiMacros.mod : The implementation of these.
- MuiClasses.def : some things you need to write own classes
- MuiClasses.mod : implementation of the macros defined in mui.h for classes
- MuiTest.mod : A sample Module showing how to use the interface.
- ListDemo.mod : A sample Listview programm showing an DisplayHook!
- Class1.mod : A sample Module showing how to write own classes in M2.
-
- In this version you have to compile the interface yourself.
- For this can you use the CompilerScript. It will compile the
- interface and copy the files to m2:modules/sym|obj.
-
-
- The History :
-
- 22.10.1993 MuiSupport : changed fail-PROCEDURE, that it makes no use of
- Terminal, but now uses Arts.Requester.
- MuiMacros : Added macros AddMember, DelMember, MakeHook,
- MakeID, PopUp
- 26.10.1993 supplied CompilerScript
- 9.2.1994 MuiD : Updates to 1.5 (Popasl, Popstring, PopObject... )
- added mPaletteEntry, mScrmodelist.
- MuiL : Updates to 1.5 (Custom Class Functions)
- changed return-value of mAslRequest to BOOLEAN
- (thanx to Thilo Stoeferle)
- provided muiMasterVersion, etc. like System-Defs.
- MuiSupport : fail will set app to NIL, now VAR-parameter
- (so you can use it in a CLOSE-Routine)
- (thanx to Martin Koyro)
- MuiMacros : now it supports StrPtr instead of ARRAY OF CHAR.
- set the symbol Locale to TRUE to get it. (defaults to FALSE)
- added some macros by Martin Koyro (KeyRadio, (Key)Cycle, (Key)Slider)
- MuiClasses : new Module which implements things to write own classes.
- ComboBox : removed - use PopObject for a Popup-List.
- ListDemo : New Demo to show how to do lists.
- 18.2.1994 MuiMacros : Added functions for Register and the Pop*-Classes.
- Added some new Label-Macros (LLabel,... )
- MUIClasses : Added some macro-definitions and rearranged a bit the
- module. Now you can do easily custom classes with it.
- (i hope :) So look at it for more info and look also
- at Class1.mod which shows how it is used.
- Class1.mod : new demo which shows how to do custom classes.
- 25.6.1994 MuiD,
- MuiMacros,
- MuiL : upgraded to version 2.1
- added a new symbol MUIObsolete to MuiMacros. Set it to true,
- if you want the obsolete Macros, now you should use mMakeObj
- for them.
- Problems with MakeObject-Definition - does not work.
- I don't know why - you ? ;-) Please tell me!
- (so you should set MuiObsolete to TRUE ;-)
-
- MuiClasses : changed name from MUIClasses to MuiClasses - please note!!
- 11.7.1994 MuiL.def : changed MakeObject to use the right registers. Now works!!
-
-
- Note :
-
- This time I just wanted to say that this stuff is _completely_ untested because of lack
- of time. I am just happy that it compiles ;-)
- I think that I have the next days some free hours to play with the new MUI (perhaps
- writing a class :-)
- Perhaps I will then release a new version on aminet...
-
- For bug-reports or suggestion please send me a note. Thanks.
