Changes in SuperWaba 5.57 (20060203)

1. fixed GPRS.disconnect returning inverted results (true when should be false and vice-versa). Improved javadocs with meanings for the resulting status codes.
2. added vik changes to fixed Convert.toInt not dealing with big (but valid) numbers.
3. now in String.indexOf(string) we pass the routine to indexOf(char) if the given string has only one char.
4. fixed String.indexOf when the starting position was less than 0.
5. fixed Grid with a NPE when trying to resize a column with no selected lines.
6. optimized Grid.replace.
7. fixed problem in Treo 600/650 when the pda goes to sleep and was wakeup by a press in a key that was previously intercepted with Vm.interceptSystemKeys. removed 552_4.
8. fixed exitAndReboot rebooting before sdlpalmposix free the memory allocated for the application. this was avoiding that a app run again afterwards.
9. improved win32 vm responsiveness.

5.57b
10. fixed Grid tooltip position when the grid is scrolled.
11. fixed grid when it was scrolled and data was edited.
12. fixed grid not setting the correct col width if the last col was hidden.
13. fixed grid scrolling to the right if the user shrinks the grid to a smaller size than the width.

Changes in SuperWaba 5.56 (20060130)

1. fixed definetively the GPRS library for WinCE^?. Removed some pedantic methods; documented with a sample.
2. avoid that the Properties.load gets into an infinite loop if the file is empty or corrupted. Now it limits the number of properties to 1000 through the MAX_PROPS member. If you are saving more than 1000 props, just change this max value.
3. fixed JZlib not handling a compressed stream that is bigger than the uncompressed one.
4. fixed DataStream^?.readUnsignedShort when readBytes returns -1.
5. removed cache from myDmGetRecordSize, because it leads to bugs and alltests gets only 12 cache hits, while benchpdbdriver gets 0 cache hits.
6. fixed grid problem with it is empty and a click is made on it.
7. fixed Grid if it has less items than the visible items and the scrollbar was dragged. The problem was caused by a bug in the ScrollBar^? class.
8. fixed problem when setting up the grid that the linesPerPage was computed with different values but the visibleItems was not set. This was leading to a skip in the shown items.
9. new waba.ui.ToolTip copied from superwaba.ext.xplat.ui.ToolTip. The old class was made deprecated. Added method setText to dynamically change the text and setControlRect to change the control's rect. Just before the tooltip is shown, a ControlEvent.PRESSED is posted to the attached control. If the text is an empty string, the tooltip is not displayed.
. deprecated superwaba.ext.xplat.ui.ProgressBar. Use waba.ui.ProgressBar instead. The class will be removed in SW 5.6.
10. store the parentWindow value in getParentWindow.
11. added Grid.extraHorizScrollButtonHeight so the user can change the default extra height of the horizontal buttons. This is sometimes needed if the height is too small.
12. In the Grid class, if the text is bigger than the cell width, a ToolTip^? is used to display the full text
13. added Grid.oldCellText. This contains the value of the cell before the user edited it. It can be used to undo the edit of a cell, by capturing the TEXT_CHANGED_EVENT event and setting back the cell's value.

5.56b
. fixed NPE in getParentWindow
14. keep the selected line if using replace.

Changes in SuperWaba 5.55 (20060113)

1. Add native libs platform specific library unload calls. This fixes problem when loading PDBDriver more than 15 times without rebooting the device.
2. Fix an issue in PDBDriver to distinguish not shareable C pdbdriver instances.
3. fixed PDBDriver bug when inserting some rows, then resetting the cached rows (throught a delete of a row that was not found) and then inserting more rows.
4. fixed pdbdriver not creating the index when just a single record was inserted and the index was created
5. optimized table reindex. It now stores the indexes in a memory array. It will always be used if there are enough memory to hold the array. The only exception is when the user is doing an "alter table add key"; the old and slow algorithm will be used instead. In Pocket PC, time dropped from 72s to 1.5s, in Palm, 5.3s to 0.3s
6. implemented some missing conduit entrypoints.
. updated activesync dlls in bin/tools/dlls/activesync folder. This may fix conduit installation issues on winxp.
7. added Grid.setSelectedLine(line) and fixed selected line when check is not enabled.
8. fixed some Grid painting glytches.
9. changed PDBDriver in order to don't create temp tables using File IO, but in-memory instead. 5x-100x performance increase in wince, 5x in Symbian, and almost none in Palm OS
10. fixed listbox overridding the border when selecting the last line.
11. fixed CE GPRS library not attaching native part.
12. fixed Grid not using keyboard to scroll.
13. fixed Grid not correctly clipping text on horizontal scroll.

5.55b
. REFACTORED GRID CLASS. Removed methods: getCheckedIndexes/setCheckedIndexes (you must do a loop and call grid.isChecked/setChecked instead). Renamed methods: selectIndex -> setChecked (repaint must be called if you want to update the screen), getColumn -> getColumnText. Added size(). These drastic changes were needed to speedup the grid operation. Fixed grid scroll with the keyboard arrows. added quicksort when clicking on the title bar. added setColumnEditable so you can edit text (added GridEvent^?.TEXT_CHANGED_EVENT).
. now pdbdriver, gif and catalogsearch are working perfectly in all supported Symbian platforms.
14. fixed poopupBlockingModal taking 100% resources on win32.

---

Changes in SuperWaba 5.54 (20051222)

. SuperWaba now has a native test suite. A great step ahead to increase its robustness. Many of the Convert and Vm bugs fixed here were due to testcase failures.
. SuperWaba now runs on Nokia 9500 and 9300 (symbian 8). thanks to Vik and Gregory to run the tests on their phones.
1. fixed GPF when registering or unregistering a conduit. The problem was not related to the conduit itself, but to a bad value returned in runEventsLoop, that was being used to show an errorMessage at an invalid index.
2. fixed PalmOS^? icons transparent color.
3. fixed support for Zire 22.
4. fixed NPE when the user tries to call repaint before the applet shows up.
5. added vmGlobals->hInstance the Windows application handle (WIN32/WINCE only).
. fixed conduit not working on win32. It was due to link libraries used in the release version, in vc6.
. added some instructions to the Conduit if wrong commandline parameters were used.
6. reimplemented Vm.setDeviceAutooff for Palm ARM.
7. reimplemented Vm.setDeviceAutooff(0) for wince. Thanks to aliok to point this out.
8. fixed Vm.setTimeStamp not taking into account the current timezone in win32.
9. fixed File.listFiles not correctly appending / to directory entries.
10. increased buffer size of LineReader^? when running on Applet.
11. fixed Grid.dataSource.FIRST/LAST not checking if the resultset was empry
12. fixed Grid button sizes in wince.
13. fixed PreparedStatement^? not correctly updating records after a first update. related to 550_43
14. fixed problem in Catalog on win32 after doing a resizeRecord followed by a record write in the same record.
15. fixed reset in Tungsten T3 due to the PIN api. Seems that the T3 does not accept any of the commands that deal with PIN, so it is impossible to add support for virtual grafitti handling for it.
16. added implementation for Vm.getSystemKeysPressed for Palm OS.
17. fixed Vm.sleep sleeping more than the requested.
18. fixed Image.getPixelRow when the screen bpp was 8.
19. fixed Image.createBmp for zire 21.
20. fixed FullScreen^? for Pocket PC not allowing the popup of system messages, like bluetooth and socket.
21. added SrmSendWait^? for all SerialPort^? numbers. This waits the transmission finish before returning. Not sure if this will affect other stuff.
22. fixed Timer event's start time being reset at a wrong place. A side effect of this was that the time took by the onEvent was not being taken into consideration at each tick.
23. fixed str2int32 not correctly dealing with numbers greater than the maximum possible int32 value.
24. fixed convert.toLowerCase/toUpperCase not correctly dealing with char range limits (0 to 65535).
25. fixed Convert.toString(float).
26. support Exegen /SIS (SymbianOS^? packaging) on Linux.
27. Changes in waba.ui.Grid: added Grid.getColumn(row,col) to return a single data; few optimizations on itemsCount; added canClickSelectAll (set it to false to don't let the user click on the checks column of the captions)
28. new waba.ui.GridEvent. removed getColumn method and selectedColumn member (now you must check the generated GridEvent^?).
29. fixed PreparedStatement^? when there were no spaces between the ? in a where clause (like "select ... where rowid=?").
30. Now PDBDriver allows "delete from table", besides "delete table".
31. changed Grid captions appearance when ui style is PalmOS^?. Fixed horizontal scroll buttons when in 160x160. fixed last column not being correctly centered.
32. In a PreparedStatement^?, if you called setString to set a number, the insertion would fail. Now it doesnt fails because i remove the '' which was surrounding the value.
33. fixed PreparedStatement^? not correctly reordering insert and update statement fields when out of order relative to the original table.
34. added IntVector^?.toIntArray, to get a copy of just the added elements.
35. fixed the button sizes for superwaba.ext.xplat.ui.db.Grid in all styles.
. superwaba.ext.xplat.ui.db.Grid IS NOW DEPRECATED. Use waba.ui.Grid instead. A question that will arrise: how can i set the data of the resultset to the waba.ui.Grid? The answer is simple:

      ResultSet rs = driver.executeQuery(...);
      if (rs.first())
         grid.setItems(rs.getStrings(-1, true, false));
      rs.close();

36. Exegen supports SymbianOS^? 8.0 packaging.
37. fixed PreparedStatement^? not correctly allowing a select clause with an order field that does not belong to the select statement.

Version 5.54a
38. fixed again full screen support on TX.

Version 5.54b
39. added KC Chan changes to XmlReader^? to support unicode.
40. fixed grid.getSelectedItem.

---

Changes in SuperWaba 5.53 (20051202)

1. Fixed vmGlobals->debug not showing the output if the user had choosen to synchronize the memo but the memo syncing was disabled. DmGetRecord was failing; now we delete the record and force the output.
2. fixed support for the new Palm OS devices that has virtual grafitti area. The screen is set to portrait mode always. You can use it in full screen mode by specifying /F on Exegen to get a no taskbar and a 320x480 screen. In this case, when the input is set to an edit, the keyboard is automatically opened and closed after focus out. In january we'll add full support for screen rotation and collapsing. Note: there's an odd flickering when the keyboard appears. NOTE: this change is available only for Palm OS ARM.
3. Fixed the Vm.setTimeStamp() call on PalmOS5/arm. The used TimSetSeconds system calls generates a system notification, its associated launchcode was not handled properly in the PilotMain function.
4. fixed PDBDriver not correctly resetting the cachedRowsCountPos and cachedRowsCount after a rebalance. This was leading to "DmWriteCheck failed" errors or in an infinite loop.
5. fixed Vm.Exec call on PalmOS5^?/arm (the PalmOS^? launcher shouldn't be called when the VM get the app switch quit event)
6. fixed problem when running retroguard.
7. fixed problem when installing sw in another folder on Pocket PC devices.
8. fixed problem in sw_palmdb_posix for win32 (may occur in wince too), in the _myGrowFileSize function. The SetFilePointer^? was not updating internal fields of the OS handle, thus leading to corrupt data afterwards. Changed to use fseek instead.
9. fixed PDBDriver not correctly updating the number of records after a record was removed using purge.
10. fixed PDBDriver not correctly finding tables in uppercase.
11. fixed index search when number of rows was above 65535. Important: the PDBDriver has a limitation of 524000 rows for tables with indexes, due to the fact that during the search, a bit table is created to store the rows that are accepted by the query, and this bit table has a max size of 65500*8 = 524000 rows.
12. now HttpStream^?.getStatus returns "Socket Closed" if the socket is not open.

---

Changes in SuperWaba 5.52 (20051118)

1. fixed application not exiting when a popupBlockingModal window was being shown.
2. synchronized some fixes in the File class between palm 68k and arm. This fixed problems in reading and writing bytes, and also opening files.
3. fixed Base64 not working for numbers not multiple of 4.
4. Important tip for Treo 6xx users: if you intercept the HARD4 key on this device, it will freeze if the device turns off while running a SW program in the new ARM vm. Check the HARD4 javadocs for more information.
5. now Button also sets enabled to false when onlyShowImage is called. This avoid that a button that fits in the whole container obscure the events from the other controls.
6. fixed strange dots around the screen when moving round-bordered windows.
7. fixed ListBox^? vertical text alignment on selected lines.
8. fixed ToolTip^? not assigning the target when calling an the control to process the event. This was making some classes (like Check) not work when the tooltip was used.
9. fixed correct size for buffer.
. applied some fixes from nmpalm_wabaio.c on sw_file.c.
10. fixed pdbdriver not being able to insert index records, because other rows may have been inserted (instead of appended), thus making it bigger than balancedRowsPerRecord.
11. fixed File class on arm. Basically, the lock_memory and unlock_memory were swapped.
. victor has added new methods on the Grid class to insert and update a row, return the last selected column. he also fixed problems in line selection after popping a messagebox on event click. and now the selected row uses an user-defined color, instead of just inverting the line.
12. fixed jpeg colors on arm.
. updated arm version information.
13. fixed wasDateValid not correctly being set. If the given date was invalid, setToday was resetting it to true.
. removed the fatal error "no video mem". now we let the vm fail gracefully.
14. fixed fatal error when loading an uff and there were not enough memory to load it.
15. fixed PDBDriver not deleting a table with indexes and only one row inserted.
16. new constructor for waba.io.File that lets you specify the Palm OS card slot number. new method File.isInserted to verify if such slot has a card inserted into. Now File.isAvailable behaves as before: it does NOT check if the card is inserted.
17. fixed drawDottedCursor for Palm OS 5 68k.
18. changed the way round border windows are drawn. please read the javadocs for Window.ROUND_BORDER to understand the changes. Removed setDoubleBuffer from InputDialog^? and MessageBox^? and other classes that used this method.
19. fixed out of memory problems in writting pdbs. now the pdb is written directly to the media.
20. now the pdbdriver uses up to 100% per record for tables. it was really nonsense to use less than that because table rows are never inserted, they are always appended.
21. fixed Catalog.rename not assigning the internal name. this also fixes pdbdriver problems at desktop: after a balance the index was not correctly saved. note that you should always, at desktop, call driver.closeAll to make sure that all tables are saved.
22. fixed PushButtonGroup^? not correctly drawing the selected button on flat ui style.
23. Made Keyboard buttons bigger. Tested in all resolutions and ui styles.
24. fixed ListBox^?'s selected item not being scrolled horizontally.
25. fixed myDmResizeRecord, that required that the record is open so it can be properly resized. Now if the record is not loaded, the routine loads the record and releases it. This also fixes PDBDriver's tables not being correctly resized when they are compacted.
26. fixed ResultSet^?.getDouble and getFloat not working in non-68k devices.
27. fixed PDBDriver writting double,long and float values on devices differently from the desktop.
28. fixed LineReader^? error when an 0xA was found after a fetch of more data.
29. fixed LineReader^? not correctly reading the last line of text.
30. added Vm.disableDebug, to easily disable all Vm.debug output in the program.
31. fixed command key not working in ARM devices. This fixes clipboard problems on the Edit.
32. fixed unneeded memory test on PDBDriver at desktop that was leading to index insertion failures.
33. fixed TestCase^? assertion for doubles.
34. fixed PDBDriver not finding the tables when the Settings.dataPath was used
35. reimplemented Socket.readBytes for wince/win32, adding support for read timeout.
36. changed inf files to get rid of warning when installing SW on Windows Mobile 5.
37. fixed prepared statement throwing an exception when there were no 'where' clause on it.
38. added a small delay to Event.isAvailable to avoid deadlocks when it is called in loop.

Changes in SuperWaba 5.51 (20051013)

1. fixed File.exists in win32.
2. fixed sql.Date constructor not assigning the day. Thanks to Borges Alexandre.
3. now the copyright displays once per week.
4. fixed millisToTicks in ARM. not completely wrong, but may break in non-standard (1000 tps) devices.
5. fixed write timeout value in serialport.
6. fixed Socket.disconnect on wince entering an infinite loop.
7. fixed PDBDriver.getRowCount not returning the right number when table's empty.
. removed all deprecated methods from waba.*. saved 1.5k on superwaba.pdb.
8. fixed support for native libraries in Treo 6xx series.
9. now the pdbdriver allocs 8kb instead of 64kb. This lead to less memory usage, and about 250% performance increase on WinCE^? but 20% decrease in PalmOS^?.
. added support for event handling in Grid.
. fixed bug in setItems in the Grid class, among other small fixes.
. fixed insert/update problem in pdbdriver.

---

Changes in SuperWaba 5.5 (20051003)

. new ARM VM for Palm OS 5 devices, leading to speed improvements from 10 to up to 40 times.
. SuperWaba now runs fine on Symbian 7.0s(Nokia 6600, etc).
. Synchronization API now ported to Pocket PC, using RAPI. Read the Conduit chapter on the PDF for more info
. Faster PDBDriver (version 3.0). Now it stores many database rows in a single pdb record, which makes it incompatible with version 2.x.
. Added a complete Sales Force Automation sample (superwaba.samples.app.sales). With it you will learn the correct way to create SuperWaba programs.
1. now the "Program error" messagebox on windows ce stays on top until the user dismiss it.
2. fixed key not repeating on SDL vms.
3. added a verification on Desktop if the PDB's record offset matches the computed one. It now throws an Exception if it doesnt.
. fixed warning about a wrong-palletized 48x48x8 bmp when running exegen.
4. fixed problem for Wince Catalogs not writting correctly the first record. It was making the pdb two bytes shifted, when comparing with the ones created on desktop or Palm OS.
5. fixed MultiEdit throwing an IndexOutOfBounds when the right arrow key was pressed at the end of the text.
. fixed PalmOS5_And_16bpp.exe full installation file for Palm OS not including SWNatives.prc.
6. added a time elapsed field on the SWUnit to measure how much time the test took.
7. added Catalog.getName to retrieve the name with which the catalog was created.
8. added Catalog.setRecordOffset to directly set the offset.
9. now the record offset is being checked in _readWriteBytes.
10. fixed catalog name not being correctly removed from the hashtable.
11. fixed catalog.rename not adding the name to _dbHash
12. now ResizeStream^?.resizeRecord only calls resizeRecord if the record's size has been changed.
. new class RowIterator^?, used to iterate through each row of the table and verify/change the row attributes (which may be SYNCED, DELETED, UPDATED, NEW).
13. now the applet defaults to 8bpp
14. avoid infinite recursion on ResizeStream^?.writeBytes when trying to allocate too much memory for the record.
15. added support for focus traversal with the keyboard on all user interface controls (you must set Settings.keyboardFocusTraversable to true). The focus is changed by using the 5-way navigation, present in most devices.
.The Container.tabOrder vector holds the controls that will be traversed in order. By default, this is the order in which they were added to the container. You can change that order by reassigning t he vector with the elements. Check the ContainerSwitch^? sample.
16. added Settings.penless (defaults to true on cell phones that does not support pen input). To provide the input, added the class waba.ui.Keypad, which mimics the input using 0-9*# on cell phones.
17. added waba.ui.Grid, a beautiful Grid with multi-selection support, and direct scroll.
18. added stripes to superwaba.ext.xplat.ui.db.Grid.
19. added PopList^?/ComboBox.fullWidth, to use the full screen width on the listbox.
20. added Edit.autoSelect, to auto select the text when the focus moves to the Edit.
21. added ListBox^?.useFullWidthOnSelection, so that the item selected will have the full width instead of the selected text's width
22. fixed a problem with MultiEdit^? when using the up key in the first row.
23. added waba.io.NativeMethods4JDK.CatalogBag.closeOnFinalize, to specify when the garbage collector should close the catalog on exit.
24. fixed NativeMethods4JDK^?.fileListFiles throwing a NullPointerException^? when no files were found.
25. fixed SpinList^? class not drawing fine on Highres devices.
26. added a time elapsed field to SWUnit.
27. new method Button.simulatePress, to simulate a button press (used in controls like ComboBox^?).
29. placed the routine that draws the checkmark of waba.ui.Check in a method (paintCheck) that can be called directly.
30. new method Container.changeHighlighted, used to select the next control that will hold the focus.
. renamed Control.canReceiveFocus to focusTraversable. This define that the control will not receive focus by using the keyboard arrows. Added also other methods, like Window.setHighlighted/getHighlighted/drawHighlight
31. new method Control.translateFromOrigin, used to find the absolute coordinate of the control. Just like GetAbsoluteRect^?, but instead of returning a rect, a Coord is used instead to receive the x,y values
. new superwaba.samples.ext.ui.gadgets.ExtGadgets sample that shows how to use the user interface gadgets presented in the superwaba.ext.xplat.ui package
32. new method Graphics.drawDottedCursor, which is equivalent to drawCursorOutline, but using dots instead of a filled line.
33. new KeyEvent^?.ACTION_KEY_PRESS event, which is called by the system to tell that the user pressed the IKeys.ACTION or IKeys.ENTER to let the control gain focus. The controls will capture the arrow+enter+action keys until they set isHighlightning to true again. Added methods KeyEvent^?.isActionKey/isUpKey/isDownKey/isPrevKey/isNextKey.
34. added handy methods to popup a window: Window.popupModal() and Window.popupBlockingModal. Instead of Window.getMainWindow().popupModal(new MessageBox^?(...)), you do new MessageBox^?(...).popupModal (or popupBlockingModal).
35. added an extension library to open a GPRS connection on Pocket PC 2002 systems. Thanks to IClass Consultoria.
. updated the Watch sample (now named WorldWatch^?)
36. added support for Emulation of Nokia devices. The screen resolution must be 176x189. It then uses the 6SW.pdb font file, which is the one that is used at the device. The font's height is 14, and it fits like the standard Palm OS 160x160 resolution.
. Updated the sample html names to match newer devices, and added Nokia6600.
37. now the sip is only reset on a wince program exit if it was set to top.
38. now pdbdriver 3 does not search for old-style table names, ie, without the creator id before the name
39. fixed xrealloc for palm68k when the first allocation was in main memory and the new allocation was too big to fix in main memory.
40. now File.isAvailable checks, on Palm OS, if the card is inserted, besides if it support vfs.
41. fixed button ok turning into x in Windows CE when the app loose and recovered focus
42. fixed WinCE^? internal keyboard that was getting higher each time a SW app was called with the keyboard already open.
43. fixed bug in PDBDriver when reusing prepared statements on Queries.
44. now Socket.disconnect disconnects the RAS connection on WinCE^?.
45. made Font members public. fixed desktop problem that font's name was not being changed when the font was not found.
46. added sanity checks for xmalloc/xfree/xrealloc
47. added horizontal scroll support for SWUnit. Also changed a bit the layout.

Changes in SuperWaba 5.2(20050729)

1. fixed setFilePos returning eof as error.
2. Added Pierre's fixes that avoid that the KCC gets popped up twice.
3. Added Pierre's fixes to socket on win32.
4. Added Pierre's changes on the way a listbox's cursor is drawn. Instead of eraserect, use a fillrect with another item draw.
5. added Jean Perez changes to call compact after each gc. This had lowered the amount of memory in some tests i made with bench, uibench and htmlbrowser.
6. fixed some problems pointed out by FindBugs^?.
7. added indirect jump on GCC-based compilers. This lead to a 5% speed improvement.
8. added an extension library to open a GPRS connection on Pocket PC 2002 systems
9. changed the way applet loads the class. Requested by Aldo to solve problems downloading classes from the net.
10. changed Edit.isSymbian to solve problems with Retroguard.
11. fixed growFileSize not working on win32/wince. this fixes PDBDriver.purge.
12. fixed GuiBuilder^? not setting the back/fore colors of the container.
13. fixed deadlock on paint that occured when a blocking modal window was popped up with a timer, on applet.
14. changed the volume that is used to write Files to. Instead of using the first volume available, it uses the last one. This fixes the problem with T5, which first volume is the main memory, and thus lets it write on its last volume, which is the memory card.
5.2a
15. fixed listbox selected item's color.

---

Changes in SuperWaba 5.12 (20050625)

1. added support for IKeys.TAB on applet. It can now switch between edits using the tab key.
2. fixed PDBDriver.getLabel when the sql is of type "select *".
3. fixed problem with Convert.toString(Math.log(2.718281828459046)).

6. fixed select with -/+ signs before a number.
. Added superwaba.ext.io.LineReader class to read lines from a Stream.
7. fixed SWBreak problem where its background was being erased on the game start. This problem was caused by 511_7.
8. Now the temp buffer used to read data from Socket, File and SerialPort^? is decreased until it can fit on the PDA's memory. It may read less than requested data, but it will at least read something, instead of just returning with error.
9. added a new parameter to ByteArrayStream.setSize: copyOldData. If true, the current read data is copied to the new buffer.
10. fixed return value on File.read/writeBytes.
11. fixed problem on File.read: it was returning -1 when the file was read until the end of file.
12. fixed ScrollBar^? when minimum value is not zero.
13. fixed floating point problems in Epoc (all Little Endian mixed targets).

---

Changes in SuperWaba 5.11 (20050429)

. fixed Companion's toc
. fixed Scanner support for PocketPC. It was still on old style.
1. fixed Vm.exec on win32.
2. now in Html.Style, the style defaults to left instead of right. This fixes problem when align=justify.
3. Fixed sound on win32/wince. The beep now beeps, and the tone now tones, but there's a big gap between the tones that must be fixed.
4. fixed HotSync restart when registering/unregistering the conduit. Added a message, bc now the blank window stays for some time.
5. fixed scrollbar paint on PalmOS style.
6. fixed base64 encoding of signed data.
7. fixed container repaints when swapping from one container to another with the same color.
. fixed ExeFile to correctly create installation on new Pocket PC devices.

9. fixed Png/jpeg/gif load not setting the palette when bpp=8 on desktop.
10. added IntHashtable.getValues.
11. added IntVector(int[]) constructor.
12. took the modulus of the jpeg/gif/png pixels on desktop when running in 16bpp. This fixes routines like the Image.changeColors.
13. fixed Graphics.getPixel when running on 16bpp displays (as most wince devices). Now returns in 24-bit RGB values instead of 5-6-5. This also fixes Image.changeColors.

---

Changes in SuperWaba 5.1 (20050415)

1. added back code to use DataPath on windows 32.
2. fixed ghosts repaints when debugging code on Applet.
3. fixed File.exists on win32 when the path ends with slash.
4. added Button.cutText. Setting to false may allow the button paint fine on scrollable containers.
5. NEW USER INTERFACE STYLE: FLAT, to mimic Pocket PC 2003.
6. added horizontal scroll by left/right keys to Grid class.
7. NEW! SyncConduit API to create PalmDesktop conduits using SuperWaba. No more need to learn/use JSync.
. In package superwaba.samples.ui.painter, renamed Painter to Blackboard; renamed SaveLoadImage^? to Painter
8. added Hashtable.getValues and getKeyValuePairs.
9. added back the code the handle copy/paste on win32/wince.
10. added back the code of serialPortReadCheck in win32/wince.
. SuperWaba and its libraries are now compiled in Visual C++ 6 (for Windows 98 and beyond). This removed the need of the msvcr71.dll, and also optimized the program, which is 33% faster. MatchBox^? also do not need anymore this dll (note that it shrinked from 324kb to 68kb).
12. Added superwaba.ext.xplat.io.http.Base64 class to encode/decode in Base64.
13. HttpStream now has support for POST.
. added superwaba.ext.xplat.xml.DumpXml class, which dumps the contents of a xml using the parser. Useful to learn how to parse a file.
14. new constructor to XmlReadableSocket to set the Options.
15. new methods getCopy and setSize on ByteArrayStream.
16. Fixed Vm.exit error code not being returned to the OS on Win32.
17. fixed XmlTokenizer requiring too much memory when growing buffer.
18. fixed Edit cursor being drawn even when the Edit was not enabled.
19. fixed Vm.debug(null) on desktop.
20. added HtmlContainer.loadImage, to let the caller render the image from elsewhere.
21. added TextSpan^?.mapToSWFontSize, to change the fontSize to the SuperWaba's one. If <= 2, use small, else, use big fonts.
22. added a default constructor to html.Document, and a method renderDoc. This is useful if you want to render the document not on the constructor's call.
23. fixed recognition of long and float numbers on PDBDriver.
24. fixed PushButtonGroup^? not acceptint the same button being pressed after a setSelected(-1).
25. fixed setValue on ScrollBar^? when trying to set a value greater than the maximum (no value was set, when the correct is to set to the maximum). Also fixed 502_5 setting to the wrong value.
26. added ScrollBar^?.minDragBarSize, where the user can define the mininum dragbar size, in pixels. Grown the default from 3 to 5 pixels.
27. now SW on win32 checks if the current directory has "superwaba" on it. If not, the user is probably trying to run sw from the wrong directory, then we change the directory to \SuperWaba, which is the mandatory folder to run SW from. IMPORTANT: since this is done only when SW starts, it is important that the sdl.dll is present on the current folder (or c:\SuperWaba added to the path), otherwise it wont be found and the graphics will not work fine.
28. changed html.Table to try to obtein better results. I'm not convinced about the change, it needs a better fix.
29. fixed Scanner name on attachNativeLibrary. Thanks to Claudio Zani.
30. more fixes to dumpStackTrace.
31. fixed problems openning catalogs on READ_ONLY mode. Now it ignores this flag and open always in read-write mode. This was needed because even read-only dbs must write header information, and openning in read-only will prevent it, thus leading to messages like "records left locked in an unprotected closed database".

Changes in SuperWaba 5.04 (20050401)

1. Placed back the code to handle commandline parameters passed between SuperWaba processes.
2. Fixed application exit when MainWindow^?.exit is called before the main event loop starts (on the onStart method or on the MainWindow^?'s constructor).
3. Fixed JZlib not working for hi compressed buffers.
4. Added Phil Herold fix to remove the warning on windows ce installation.
5. Added getStream method to classes ResizeStream^? and DataStream^? to return the current attached stream.
6. removed deprecated methods from Catalog: get/setRecordAttributes (the non-static methods)
7. fixed OutOfMemory^? exception masking if occured during initialization.
8. fixed error message being masking when happening in the initialization.
9. fixed dumpStackTrace not finding the correct way to stop.
10. fixed the 65500 memory limit not letting allocate a 65500 byte array.
. fixed the SWBreak game.
11. fixed IKeys.ACTION keycode on wince.
12. fixed problems when switching apps on windows ce.
13. fixed query compilation with leading spaces.

Changes in SuperWaba 5.03 (20050325)

1. Fixed bug on ToolTip^? class: don't show the tooltip if the user removes the pen before the required time.
2. Added a new field to Edit: alignment, which can be used to set the Edit's alignment AFTER FOCUS LOSS.
3. Fixed Exegen when the package name is specified using \ instead of /
4. Removed ComboBox alwaysRecomputePopRect. The correct way to handle controls inside a scrollable container is: when it gets scrolled, call broadcastEvent(new ControlEvent(ControlEvent.WINDOW_MOVED,this)); (if possible, cache this ControlEvent). Removed this bc not only the combobox, but all controls must update theirselves when its position gets changed.
5. Added a check at the desktop implementation of Catalog.setRecordPos to see if the Catalog is closed and issue a warning to mimic like in the device.
6. Fixed TestFont^? package on TTF2PDBs.
7. fixed problem where the screen was not updated when the swap method was being called from inside a Menu.
8. Placed back the messages that shows when Exegen found a custom program's icon. Now it will show the "found on ..." only when there's an icon prefix.
9. fixed PreparedStatement^? not correctly assigning sqlExpression.
10. fixed PDBDriver when using "select * from ..." and using the index to get the value (e.g.: getString(1)).
11. fixed SW_Graphics.updateRectangle not updating correctly the width for the repaint area.

Changes in SuperWaba 5.02 (20050311)

. placed back the code of Windows's Serial.setFlowControl and setReadTimeout
1. fixed problem in fillPolygon (was not checking all yPoints)
. Now MatchBox^? is staticly linked. This gets rid of vc7 dlls.
2. fixed Math.atan2(0,-1).
3. fixed appId not being passed to the combobox button.
4. fixed Catalog.rename on win32/wince.
5. Added M. Sicotte's changes to fix the ScrollBar^? when the minimum is not zero or minimum is greater than maximum. Rewarded him with 1 point.
6. fixed toLowerCase and toUpperCase on device.
7. fixed problem in createStringFromUtf treating char as signed chars. It was converting > 0x80 chars to negative int16 values.
8. now createString (defined in SW_String.c (sdl) and superwaba.c (68k) do not try to convert the value from utf8. this is needed because when we convert accentuated char8 using the createStringFromUtf, it goes wrong, due to NumUnicodeCharsInUtf8^? returning a different number of chars. This change fixes, for example, usernames with accentuation returned in Palm OS.
9. Now Settings.userName returns the name of the logged on user on windows 32.
10. Fixed again pqrs... support on win32.
11. normalized all sw_libdynam and libstatic methods to include the librefnum in all methods. This may simplify the code in the future and fixes a problem that the swvm was linked with one version of the method (the one that does not requires the librefnum) but the library was linked with the one that DOES require. This was probably introduced in the sdl version merged during february.
12. Fixed the waba.sys.Settings on Symbian.
13. Fixed numeric-keypad enter keycode on win32.

2. fixed problem on DebugConsole^? always overritting the text instead of appending.
3. fixed problem when calling popupModal was not showing the dialog.
4. fixed NPE in Label when calling set3d without setting the colors first (dColor was null).
