What's new in GOK 1.0.1?
* Fix for #168093 GOK now implements some libwnck API locally to avoid
build compatibility issues with newly changed libwnck API.
* Fix for #168281 Memory allocation issues fixed.
* Fix for #168405 Fixed unwanted activation in dwell mode when the core pointer
happens to enter a GOK window without purposeful user action.
What's new in GOK 1.0.0?
* With version 1.0.0 GOK has reached production quality release. This version
is very similar to 0.12.4. We have updated the README file and made sure
all the appropriate files have been marked for translation.
What's new in GOK 0.12.4?
* Fix for rfe #166552 - GOK now autodetects XInput events from unexpected
devices, and allows user to select the new XInput device. GOK also
attempts to work around corepointer conflicts by swapping the corepointer
while it's running and restoring it on exit.
This gives a great deal more insurance against core-pointer conflicts,
USB-mouse renumbering due to hot-swapping, and other HID configuration
issues.
* Bugfix for #166779 - we've fixed the regression in 'Mouse' functions.
* Bugfix for #159163 (Harry Lu) - we now successfully find more table-cell
children, because we search recursively for names.
What's new in GOK 0.12.3?
* Four new translatable strings, for warning dialogs and alerts.
* Fixes for bugs #151606, #149266, #165828, #134348.
* Branch immediately to a UI Grab keyboard when an ALERT dialog is posted.
What's new in GOK 0.12.1?
* Fix for bugs 155473 (Bill Haneman), 160233 (Danilo Segan),
151831 (David Bolter), 159932, 160717, 154926, 160357.
* New help manual from Irene Ryan.
What's new in GOK 0.12.0?
* bug fixes and a sparse NEWS section.
* Changed some terminology in UI to be consistent, i.e.
"Select" and "Activate" mean pretty much the same thing across
access methods now, 'select' means highlight, 'activate' means
"virtual-click the GOK button".
[Changes for 0.47 - 2005-02-03]
* EXISTS in Locale::Maketext::Lexicon has the potential to trigger deep
recursion. Reported by Wei-Hon Chen.
[Changes for 0.46 - 2004-12-16]
* Patch from Thierry Vignaud: Add a "_allow_empty" option to the
Gettext backend, to allow empty strings with
* Harmen suggested a doc patch to better document the _AUTO key
for allowing empty or missing keys.
* Changed all ::L10N to ::I18N in examples, to agree with the de
facto community standard.
[Changes for 0.45 - 2004-10-26]
* Fix decoding problem on Big5 containing "]", as reported by Jiing Deng.
* For \*DATA calls, we can get the 'main' package from $0, skip tracing the
caller chain.
[Changes for 0.44 - 2004-09-25]
* Fixed a regression from 0.43 that prevented %*(...) interpolations.
* Remove RCS headers from source files..
[Changes for 0.43 - 2004-09-24]
* Fix decoding problem on Big5 containing "\".
2004-03-30 Sean M. Burke
* Release 1.09:
* Moved the language-preference-detecting code into new module
I18N::LangTags::Detect.
Thanks to Autrijus Tang for catching some errors in the dist!
2004-10-06 Sean M. Burke
* Release 0.35
Bugfix version: locale2language_tag now correctly understands
locale-IDs with at-signs in them, like 'it_IT.utf8@euro' or
'it_IT@euro'. This is now enforced by the new t/20_locales.t
Thanks to Luca 'loopback' Cavalli for letting me know about these
new locale-ID name-styles.
* Release 0.34 -- never happened, because of an upload error
2004-07-01 Sean M. Burke
* Release 0.33
Minor bugfix version:
The test 80_all_env.t was erroneously failing for people with
LC_ALL or LC_MESSAGES set. Fixed. Thanks to everyone, especially
Nicholas Clark, who patiently helped out with this.
2004-06-20 Sean M. Burke
* Release 0.32
Minor bugfix version:
The test 80_all_env.t was erroneously failing under MSWins that
had Win32::Locale installed. A workaround added.
2004-06-17 Sean M. Burke
* Release 0.31
Corrected some unevennesses in when/whether the return values from
I18N::LangTags::Detect's various internal functions would be
downcased. Now they're /always/ downcased, and are /always/ fed
thru alternate_language_tags()!
Also, spiffed up and generally improved the earlier test
80_all_env.t, which not even I could make sense of, and I wrote
the damned thing. Now it's sane, and checks both scalar and
list return values. Thanks to Rafael Garcia-Suarez and the
various CPAN-Testers for prodding me to fix this. (Hopefully the
earlier problems /are/ now fixed! Otherwise there'll be another
version of this module out real soon!)
Changes:
rom 2.7.3 to 2.7.4 (2004-Dec-27)
- bugfix EPG teletext number update in database: after external channel
changes from one provider directly onto another there was a possibility
that a wrong teletext number was stored for the first provider,
subsequently causing acquisition to fail; also changed the EPG scan to
update the teletext numbers stored in the databases
- added output of current EPG page number to "acquisition statistics"
in control menu
- added possibility to store "expire time" filter in shortcuts
- fixed timezone calculation for provider "VT4"
- Windows: updated DScaler TV card support; Note a new version of the
dsdrv4 driver will be installed the first time you start nxtvepg
(unless version 4.03 was already installed by another application)
- fixes in the way provider and network names were passed to Tcl/Tk
for display in main window status bar and various dialogs (only
relevant for names corrupted by transmission errors, but did cause
sporadic failure)
- fixed default setting for context menu: was empty since 2.7.1;
Windows only: also fixed !wintv! keyword handling in scripts bound
to reminder events
- fixed bug in text search filter for merged databases: sub-string
search ended after 258 characters
- added possibility to configure text foreground colors (at least for
programme list) to support an inverted color scheme
- added new display format option for composite attributes (i.e.
user-defined columns): set foreground color for entire column
- UNIX: added "XdTV" (former xawdecode) to internal list of TV apps
with which nxtvepg can exchange EPG info
- XML export: omit newline (i.e. line break) at start and end of
description text (on user request esp. for DTD version 5); also
in DTD version 6 descriptions merged from multiple providers are now
exported in separate description attributes instead of concatenating
the text into one with newlines inbetween.
- fixed bug in handling external video input source during EPG scan
which caused misleading help messages
- added work-around to catch "panic" (i.e. internal errors) in Tcl/Tk
library, esp. to cleanly shut down acquisition.
On Windows this fixes annoying popup messages when switching desktop
display to full-screen (e.g. upon start of some game).
- TV app. interaction developent tool vbirec: added possibility to send
commands and EPG OSD infos to a connected TV app (to allow testing
this feature without nxtvepg)
from 2.7.2 to 2.7.3 (2004-Sep-05)
- Fixed backwards compatibility with K!TV (since 2.7.2 there was an error
message "incompatible shared memory size")
- Fixed description of -clock option in output of -help
