Revision history for XUL-Node

0.06 Sat Mar 24 2007

• you can no longer create nodes using $node->Label syntax- this will BREAK all code using this syntax. Change it to: $node->add_child(Label). Cannot support both methods, so one had to go
• updated to support Firefox 2.0
• moved all javascript to mootools style classes (http://dev.mootools.net/wiki/gettingStarted)
• started using JSAN for remote javascript classloading (http://www.openjsan.org/doc/c/cw/cwest/JSAN/0.10/index.html)
• started using FireBug for javascript unit tests, which will not run without it (http://www.getfirebug.com/)
• fixed spelling error with ToolBarSeperator tag name (thanks to

  Rutger Vos)

• subclassing XUL::Node- create your own Perl XUL widgets, from base XUL elements. See CustomWidgetsExample, CustomNodeTest, CustomCompositeNodeTest, and and the custom_composite_widget_state test method in the ChangeManager tests. Undocumented yet.
• started MVC work- see MVCTextBoxExample, MultipleViewsExample, and Model::Value/MVC unit tests. Undocumented yet. API WILL change.
• node uses Aspect::Library::Listenable for event handling, so you can add more than one listener to a node- used to be you could only add one
• added get_parent_node to XUL::Node, using weak refs to avoid cyclesnow you can navigate from a node to any other node in the window
• fixed bug in Runner.js- value attribute should be set as late as possible. You can now set the value in a TextBox, even after someone changed its value by typing inside it. Hack to get around a known mozilla bug (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108482)
• added check in ChangeManager- dont pass to client any changes to the XUL document that are already at the client
• refactoring: cleaned up exporting logic in XUL::Node
• refactoring: arranged classes more sensibly, instead of having them all squatting in the same dir
• use latest Aspect module
• documentation errors fixed
