Release notes
Version 0.46.0
(alpha)
|
This is the last maintenance release of the alpha branch. WinBinder now does fully support the following PHP versions: 4.3.10 up to 4.4.2 and 5.0.3 up to 5.1.4.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- added the new Form Editor (FE) developed by Rubem and removed the old Layout Editor (LE)
ENHANCEMENTS:
- improved PHP version checking in winbinder.php
- In PHP.INI for version 5.0 and 5.1: added E_STRICT flag to entry error_reporting
- created PHP 5.1.1 path and project files for lcc-win32
- added and optional extra parameter (usually called $lparam3) to window callback functions. This was done via wbCallUserFunction()
- on windows that have the WBC_RESIZE style, $lparam3 (in the callback function) now receives the size of the client area as a LONG. Usually a call to wb_get_size($window, true) would produce the same effect, but it's there anyway to take advantage of the new $lparam3
- Changes in make_release.phpw:
. even less "USER PARAMETERS" to set up (7 strings only)
. force DEBUG = False in wb_setup.pas
. slight adjustments in screen layout
. more adjustments to include PHP 5.1.1 files
. checks if zip file was actually generated
. other changes
- small changes in welcome.phpw
- examples/hyperlink.phpw: changed to show "finger" cursor and underlined text
- examples/printer.phpw: added example how to print directly from a WinBinder enabled application
- resources/wb.ico: added new WinBinder icon
BUG FIXES:
- wb_generic.inc.php: functions generate_ini and parse_ini do now handle double quotes correctly; fixed missing escaping of the '$' character
- wb_windows.inc.php: function wb_set_selected now processes check boxes in menu items as it should; wb_get_text() now returns an array with the whole contents of a ListView control, as stated in the manual - did return null instead
- solved memory leak that occurred on every function call: added some extra calls to efree() in function wbCallUserFunction() in module phpwb_wb_lib.c
- wb_control.c: Rectified wb_set_range() slider TBM_SETRANGEMAX action and other aspects of this function
- WBC_MOUSEMOVE messages were not being sent in certain situations
- InvisibleArea was subclassed to process and send WM_MOUSEMOVE messages to the callback
- wb_refresh() (and wbRefreshControl()):
. completely rewrote the whole function
. default value of parameter 'now' was changed to TRUE
. now it invalidates and redraws only a part of the screen or control when (still undocumented) xpos/ypos/width/height parameters are passed to it. Was buggy prior to this release.
. probably a bit faster for most operations
. if the wb_refresh() command is issued and the xpos/ypos/width/height are set, the window callback function (in PHP) receives a pointer to rectangle (About to change! Should be the area instead, and an array would be great.) as $lparam3. If wb_refresh() acts on the whole window, $lparam3 is zero.
Dimensions should be obtained from $lparam3
as follows:
$address = wb_peek($lparam3, 16);
$num = unpack('L4n', $address);
$xpos = $num['n1'];
$ypos = $num['n2'];
$width = $num['n3'] - $xpos;
$height = $num['n4'] - $ypos;
- Added handling of the official PHP 4.4.2 bug reported at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=36671 and regarding the function file_get_contents in examples/welcome.phpw
- Changes in make_release.phpw:
. now correctly handles/saves the new version no. structure
- Changes in setup:
. many changes and corrections to wb_setup.iss (PHP 5.0 and 5.1, freeimage.dll, etc.)
. separated the script section from wb.iss into wb_setup.pas. A separate file allows correct syntax highlighting in a code editor and allows testing script changes without leaving ISTool (Inno Setup UI)
. other changes
OTHER ACTIVITIES
- updated the PHP 4 engine and the respective extensions to 4.4.2
- removed the redundant PHP binaries and accompanying files (not the extensions) for 5.0.5 and 5.1.2
- uploaded new "minimal" PHP 4.4.2, 5.0.5 and 5.1.2 versions as well as the respective extensions to SF
