Here is a new release of the stable version.

This release fixes a lot of bugs in the interpreter, the development 
environment, the GUI components... Most noteworthy are:

* The Debian and Ubuntu packaging should work correctly now. 

* RDir() handles too long paths correctly. 

* The CR / NL input conversion flags is cleared when initializing a serial 
port. 

* Using gb.desktop made the interpreter crash at exit in some cases. 

* In gb.qt, TreeView.Count and ColumnView.Count now return the number of items 
in the view like in gb.gtk, not just the number of root items.

* ComboBox now raises the Click event when it gets its first element, because 
that element is automatically selected.

Beware that the two previous changes may introduce a little backward 
incompatibility in your projects! 

The full changelog then:

[DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT]
* BUG: Always correctly round control coordinates in the form editor when
  the form Scaled property is set.
* BUG: Clicking on the "About component" button in the project property
  dialog cannot crash anymore.
* BUG: Fix the packager for Debian and Ubuntu distributions.

[INTERPRETER]
* BUG: Never display newlines inside error message, the debugger does not
  like them.
* BUG: Correctly detect out of memory errors when creating big arrays.
* BUG: Use the system maximum path length constant, not ours.
* BUG: Do not crash if a RDir() finds a too long path.
* BUG: Fix string charset conversion routine API.
* BUG: DateAdd() now does not fail anymore when substracting months up to
  January.
* BUG: Allow a dynamic class to inherit a native static class without
  crashing.

[COMPILER]
* BUG: Use the system maximum path length constant, not ours.
* BUG: Allow INHERITS to be followed by any identifier.

[INFORMER]
* BUG: Use the system maximum path length constant, not ours.

[GB.DEBUG]
* BUG: Use the system maximum path length constant, not ours.

[GB.DESKTOP]
* BUG: Prevent gb.desktop from being unloaded by the interpreter. Otherwise
  there is a risk that the libxtst library is unloaded before the libx11
  library, which leads to a crash.

[GB.FORM]
* BUG: Clicking inside the FontChooser style ListBox now always works
  correctly.
* BUG: Right and bottom SidePanels now shrink as expected when their parent
  container has no arrangement.
* BUG: In DateChooser, switching to February works now, when there is 28
  days in February and the current day is greater or equal than 29.

[GB.GTK]
* BUG: Prevent a crash when creating an Image or a Picture with incorrect
  constructor arguments.
* BUG: Move the window before showing it, so that it does not flicker.
* BUG: When a modal window is running, only it can be closing from the
  window manager close button.
* BUG: Popup menus now grab events correctly.
* BUG: Store last event time for all low-level events, not just for mouse
  events.
* BUG: Dialog.OpenFile does not use Dialog.Path as default file anymore if
  Dialog.Path is a directory.
* BUG: Modal windows are really modal.
* BUG: Try to prevent a possible crash in event management.
* BUG: Fix the Key[] array accessor, so that it (almost) works like gb.qt.

[GB.NET]
* BUG: Clear the CR / NL input conversion flags when initializing a serial
  port.

[GB.PDF]
* BUG: PdfDocument.Find() now works correctly.
* BUG: PDF indexes should be read correctly now.

[GB.QT]
* BUG: Setting MovieBox Path property to NULL does not fail anymore.
* BUG: Do not try to reparent a window in its Show() method when it is
  already visible.
* BUG: Remove debugging messages.
* BUG: Fix a possible crash in the MovieBox class due to the previous
  changes.
* BUG: TreeView.Count and ColumnView.Count now return the number of items
  in the view like in gb.gtk, not just the number of root items.
* BUG: Ignore disabled tab when using the mouse wheel on TabStrip.
* BUG: Some text alignment flags were not correctly detected.
* BUG: The ComboBox now raises its click event when it gets its first
  element, because that element is automatically selected.
* BUG: Fix an infinite recursion in previous commit.

[GB.SDL.SOUND]
* BUG: Music.Pos now returns 0 when the music is stopped, and not the
  position of the last pause.

[GB.XML.RPC]
* BUG: Use CR+LF as end-of-line in the XML/RPC server.

Kind regards, Ron.

As announced earlier I have moved DomotiGa's support site and subversion repository to a new server.

Eric aka 'Snelvuur' who donate's hosting space to the project (thanks for that) has got a new one, which is even faster than the old one.

While reinstalling I have added a few things to the website, I added a contact form, a breadcrumb trail, opening external links in a new browser tab/window, and I have created a guest account so you can create/append tickets and place blog comments.

If you have any ideas or suggestions please use the contact form to mail them to me!

Depending on which DNS server you are using, you could still be landing on the old one, just wait a bit for the DNS changes have completed.

Note: I have some strange SVN checkout issues sometimes (only getting rev 318, while we are on 333 now), but I guess these are DNS related too.

I have also moved the 'Donate button' from the old to the new server... wink wink nudge nudge...

Kind regards, Ron.

This blog is created to keep you all informed about the stuff and ideas that keep me busy developing DomotiGa.

In the past year I again had much fun -and spent alot of time- developing DomotiGa to make of it what it is now.

It also costs quite a few Euro's to buy hardware so new modules can be developed and code can be tested. While reading this please take some time to consider if you want to make a donation so I can keep on buying domotica hardware. You may also donate me hardware or help with coding, shareing ideas etc.

Thanks. Ron Klinkien
