Release Day activity
Posted by mholmes on 10 Nov 2006 in Activity log
- Built and tested a fresh installer.
- Discovered a bug with interface file loading -- menus ended up with a yellow background.
- Tried to fix this by various strategies to trigger a repaint of the component (being a TComponent descendant, it lacks actual Refresh, Invalidate, and Repaint methods). Seemed to work on most machines, but on a test install on Arugula it failed. This may be some kind of conflict with a graphics driver.
- Logged this as a bug on the Website.
- Posted a request for help to the Borland internationalization list (newsgroup home for Tnt components).
- Rebuilt, tested, tweaked and rebuilt the app and installer several times. Final test was in Lab B, where the screen settings were problematic (Large Fonts?), so I had to go back to the app and set Scaled = False and AutoScroll = False on every form. This should probably also be done for Transformer.
- Final release 1.3.0.3 seems OK tested on a variety of machines.
- Updated the Website.
- Added a Projects page showing three projects using the tool.
- Tweaked the site menu settings to make it a bit smaller.
- Created a project summary inc file and linked it into the future HCMC site projects page.
- Added a link to the blog from the site menu.
- Posted an announcement to the TEI list.
- Tried to post to TAPoR news feed, but no sign of the capability on the site! The My News tab has disappeared. I find that site hopelessly confusing; every time I click on something it opens a new tab in my browser with a small, unhelpful bit of info.
