Jargon Writer/Reader - BUILD 186 README FILE - September 2001 _________________________________________________________________ CONFIDENTIAL - FOR USE BY JARGON SOFTWARE AND ITS CUSTOMERS ONLY ===== NOTES ===== 1. Tracking numbers have the structure [Type][Build].[Issue], where "Type" is: D - Defects or known issues (bugs in implemented features) U - Unimplemented features (ReaderX features not in Reader) N - New features (planned new features) L - Limitations (features not planned to be done) "Build" is the build number where the item was added "Issue" is a sequential number within that type/build. Example: D186.1 is the first defect reported in build 186. 2. This list replaces all previous Jargon Writer lists. ==================================================== CORRECTIONS AND ENHANCEMENTS INCLUDED IN THIS BUILD: ==================================================== The following new features and bug corrections are included in this build (some were done in previous builds): N186.1 (HIGH) SUMMARY: New Scripting Editor. DETAILS: Client logic is now developed and executed in a scripting language called "ECMAScript". This scripting language is the standard on which JavaScript is based. A new Script Editor replaces the Version 2 Task Editor and its tasklists and tasks. ================================================================ KNOWN DEFECTS AND PROBLEMS IN EXISTING FEATURES: ================================================================ D186.1 (MEDIUM) SUMMARY: Frames rendered in Jargon Writer differ from Reader/Palm DETAILS: When rendering a frame in Jargon Writer, the visual layout and appearance of various components is similar but not identical to that of the same app in Jargon Reader for Palm OS. A better emulation of the Palm layout is needed to simplify testing. D186.2 (LOW) SUMMARY: Correct auto-appending of semicolons in Script Editor DETAILS: When double-clicking a method in the Script Editor to add it to the script window at the insertion cursor location, a semicolon is being added if the next position on the line is blank. However, it should only add the semicolon if the entire line was blank (i.e. only whitespace) before the insertion was done. ================================================================ UNIMPLEMENTED FEATURES (TO MATCH JARGON READERX FUNCTIONALITY) ================================================================ U186.1 (HIGH) SUMMARY: Many components, properties and methods not yet implemented. DETAILS: In the initial Version 3.0 release, many components, properties and methods that were available in Version 2 are not yet implemented. Only those components, attributes and methods shown in the various Jargon Writer toolbars and listboxes are currently supported. =============================================================== NEW FEATURES ================================================================ N186.1 (MEDIUM) SUMMARY: Add a new "URL" component (an underlined label) DETAILS: Add a new "URL" component which will look like an underlined label, with an ActionEvent that is triggered by clicking on it. N186.2 (HIGH) SUMMARY: Add any necessary support for "store/forward" feature DETAILS: Add any necessary new methods needed to provide support for the new "store/forward" capability in Jargon Reader for Palm OS.
N186.3 (HIGH) SUMMARY: Conversion utility for V2-to-V3 conversions DETAILS: When releasing Version 3 of Jargon Reader and Jargon ReaderX, a conversion utility will be needed to convert existing xml files from the Version 2 format to the Version 3 format. ================================================================ KNOWN LIMITATIONS ================================================================ L170.2 SUMMARY: Java 1.3 not supported. DETAILS: Using the Java JRE1.3 is not currently supported. There are a number of display problems in Jargon Writer's frames and panels. _________________________________________________________________ ** end of readme file - Copyright 2001 Jargon Software Inc. **
