Jack 4.0

Post by djrikki »

After over 5 months of redevelopment Jack 4.0 for AmigaOS, AROS and MorphOS is on the verge of being released.

New features in 4.0 include a complete refactoring of the interface to take full advantage of MUI, redesign and streamlining of the Calendar/Commodity window, a new Dashboard window giving quick access to not only the unique features you already gfamiliar with, but some new ones too. The dashboard has a Application launcher with search and add capabilities, an online search interface for of all the popular search engines and social media sites, a bookmark tab of all the popular AmigaOS centric websites and more.
Jack 4.0 also comes with the AppStore as before, but has been given a massive facelift and brings much to the table as would be expected of any modern AppStore.
Watch this space.

Andreas, upon release I'll post under the MUI Royale recognised bugs and limitations on one thread for reference between us both.

I look forward to MUI Royale 2.0 or whatever you intend to call it with much interest.

Sure, here's the current changelog of MUI Royale. Check if the issue has already been fixed before you report it again:

Code: Select all

V1.1 WIP:
- New: Window.ActiveObject can also be used as a notification attribute now (requested by
  Richard Lake)
- Fix: Application.AboutMUIRoyale() didn't work when MUIRoyale.hwp was in a folder that contained
  spaces (reported by Achim Kern)
- New: All of the Column class attributes have an applicability of ISG now which means that
  you can also change them during runtime
- New: Added Column.Hidden attribute which can be used to show/hide single columns; this
  requires at least MUI 3.9 (requested by Richard Lake)
- New: Added Listview.Rename() method that allows you to rename entries in a listview row
  (requested by Richard Lake)
- Fix: Listview.Sort() didn't work correctly; it now accepts an additional argument which
  tells according to which column the list view should be sorted (reported by Richard Lake)
- New: Area.ContextMenu can be used with mui.Set() now to change the context menu of a MUI
  object; to remove the context menu from an object completely, pass the special constant
  "(none)" in mui.Set() (requested by Richard Lake)
- New [OS4/MorphOS]: Listview.TitleClick allows you to get notified about clicks on the title
  bars of a listview (requested by Richard Lake)
- Fix [AROS]: MUI Royale uses relative search paths now when looking for TextEditor.mcc and
  TheBar.mcc custom classes (reported by Nigel Tromans)
- Fix: Area.ContextMenuTrigger didn't set the TriggerValue correctly (reported by Richard Lake)
- Fix: When using Listview.GetEntry together with "Active" on a Dirlist object in which no entry
  was active, MUI Royale crashed (reported by Richard Lake)
- New [OS4]: Pixel-exact virtgroup resizing now possible because it is now supported by OS4's
  MUI now, too (thanks to Thore Böckelmann)
- Fix: "Selected" attribute in class <button> did not work when used with "True" or "False"
  (reported by Matthias Rustler) 
I look forward to MUI Royale 2.0 or whatever you intend to call it with much interest.
More like v1.1 :)
