by Jack Unrue 26 Apr '06

26 Apr '06

The next release of Graphic-Forms (version 0.3.0), a CL library for Windows GUI programming, is now available. This is definitely pre-alpha code, so be prepared for missing features, bugs, and API changes in subsequent releases. Download a release tarball from here: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/graphic-forms/graphic-forms-0.3.0.tar.gz… The primary changes in this release are as follows: • implemented graphics-context methods for the typical drawing operations and pen attributes; see the new test program invoked by (gft::run-drawing-tester) • implemented a representation of fonts and font data, including an API for looking up fonts based on font data • implemented font metrics and text metrics querying • expanded image drawing operations to support double-buffering • expanded the classes representing different window types: top-level represents primary application windows, panel represents child-windows, and the root-window class represents the desktop • formalized the window parent and owner concepts with documentation and functions • implemented the display class to represent the monitor attached to the system • implemented new window style attributes to help applications choose whether the system should automatically repaint the background • provided maximum-size and minimum-size functions to allow applications to constrain window sizes • revised label controls to support either text or images • implemented the file-dialog class which encapsulates the standard open/save dialog • made other bug fixes and resource usage cleanup Please consult README.txt for other details about this release. The main project website is: http://common-lisp.net/project/graphic-forms/ -- Jack Unrue _______________________________________________ graphic-forms-announce mailing list graphic-forms-announce(a)common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/graphic-forms-announce

[ann] [climacs-announce] Progress report
by Troels Henriksen 23 Apr '06

23 Apr '06

(I have been asked to write up a progress report. I'm new to this, so please bear with me.) Dear list-members, Since the last progress report, Climacs has been cleaned up in a number of areas, though not much major functionality has been added. Some of the major improvements are: * Climacs will now be more well-behaved when using execute-frame-command thanks to Christophe Rhodes. This opens up the possibility of integrating CLIM-applications through cross-application scripting. * Thanks to Timothy Moore, Climacs should now run under Allegro Common Lisp CLIM(tm) - including modern mode. * ESA has finally been factored out of the main Climacs module and into its own. This should ease maintenance, as ESA previously had to be maintained in both the Climacs and Gsharp repositories. * Climacs now support local options lists, where a file can specify options for Climacs by putting "-*- {Option-name: Value;}* -*-" in the first line of the file. In Emacs, this feature is known as the local variables list. * The Lisp syntax module has been extended with various new functions for easier navigation of the parse tree (exploitation of this can be seen in the CLIM-desktop repo) as well as conversion of parser tokens to the Lisp objects they represent. A number of bugs have been fixed as well. Of course, there has been the usual bugfixes and new commands (for example an "Indent Expression" command for the Lisp syntax module). Hopefully, the cleanups and gradual maturing of the editor will cause more feature-oriented commits over the next few months. The future of Climacs is as bright as ever, and with the general maturing of the free CLIM universe, integration with other CLIM programs should soon come. The "self-documenting" aspect of Climacs should also receive some attention over the next weeks. -- \ Troels "Athas" Henriksen /\ - Insert witty signature _______________________________________________ climacs-announce mailing list climacs-announce(a)common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/climacs-announce

Yes, I wanted to have that as well but didn't find the time yet to do it... :) It's in 0.4.0 now, please test.
