Changes in rkwarddev version 0.10-2 (2022-05-03)

fixed

• rk.updatePluginMessages(): check that python is version 3

Changes in rkwarddev version 0.10-1 (2022-04-21)

fixed

• rk.XML.connect(): no dot is appended to the governor any more if 'get=""'

• rk.plugin.component(): also use 'gen.info' with autogenerated help documents (from scanned XML nodes)

• rk.plugin.skeleton(): add "Encoding: UTF-8" to the DESCRIPTION file, required to satisfy roxygen2

changed

• modifier checks: private function modif.validity() now also lists valid modifiers when in stop-at-error mode, not only when a warning should be shown

• rk.XML.convert(): does now try not to complain if sources is not a list

• vignette: converted into RMarkdown and updated screenshots

added

• rk.XML.select(): new parameter "single" (available as of RKWard 0.7.1).

Changes in rkwarddev version 0.08-2 (2017-07-28)

fixed

• rk.uniqueIDs() was using lists internally in some cases which caused an unneccessary warning

• rk.XML.formula() was missing the label attribute (also missing in the documentation)

• rk.JS.scan() omitted <formula> nodes

• re-implemented the dropping of variables if they're globally defined in rk.JS.doc()

• private function p2s.checkModifiers() (called by plugin2script()) didn't detect *.not modifiers correctly

• plugin2script() does now output numeric values when mandatory; internally this is defined in the FONA list

• rk.XML.about() now prints dates correctly

• rk.XML.vars() now knows type "numeric" instead of "number"

• fixed tests/generate_test_standards.R (replacing "number" with "numeric")

• rk.JS.header() doesn't fail any longer if ".add" vectors have no names

changed

• internal function get.IDs() now uses new internal function filter.relevant.tags()

• function rk.JS.scan() now has a new mode switch and supports scanning for <preview /> nodes

• rk.JS.scan() can now also check if a variable is actually being used in the script body (if given via the new script argument), and if not omit it from its result; this is the new default, but can be turned off by setting the new argument unused.vars=TRUE in rk.plugin.component() and rk.plugin.skeleton()

• handling of previews was changed; using "doPrintout" is deprecated now, but still works. most scripts should still do without changes, allthough the JS code looks different now

• improved output of rk.JS.doc()

• improved the handling of <frame> nodes in JS code: previously id() just returned the camelCode id of frames, you had to manually define an object outside rk.paste.JS() via rk.JS.vars(<frame object>, modifiers="checked"). the default is now to add the checked modifier, since using frames in JS is most likely useless otherwise. i.e., you now need to manually call via rk.JS.vars(<frame object>) with no modifiers if you happen to need the frame's ID for whatever reason

• adjusted plugin2script() to the new rk.XML.preview() parameters (see "added")

• rk.XML.embed() now also accepts objects of class rk.plug.comp as components

• rk.plotOptions() gained new argument namespace to work well with the changed approach of rk.XML.embed()

• rk.XML.connect() now allows objects of class rk.plug.comp to be used as clients and <external> nodes to be used as the "set" modifier for that client, and can therefore be used to connect properties from embedded plugins

• objects of class rk.JS.var now have a new slot "methods" to append method calls

• moved internal js.try.scan() function from body of rk.plugin.component() to rk-internal.R

• rk.XML.about() finally no longer supports "dependency", "package" or "pluginmap"; these arguments were deprecated for years now

• adjusted test standards

added

• new parameters "mode", "placement", "active" and "id.name" in rk.XML.preview()

• new parameter "preview" in rk.JS.doc() to force adding a preview() function

• rk.plugin.component() and rk.plugin.skeleton() now support "preview" in both the "js" option and the "scan" option

• new options "preview" and "level" in rk.JS.saveobj()

• id() gained the new attribute "guess.modifier" to toggle the new default for <frame> nodes in JS (see above)

• new parameter "namespace" in rk.XML.embed() to result in "namespace::component", takes character strings, <about> nodes and pluginmap XML trees and is not yet covered by plugin2script()

• new function rk.JS.method() to generate JS method calls

• plugin2script() now also scans *.rkh and *.pluginmap files

• rk.JS.header() now accepts rk.JS.ite objects as the second value of "add" entries and prints them in a condensed statement

Changes in rkwarddev version 0.08-1 (2015-12-17)

fixed

• attribute "max_precision" in <spinbox> was misspelled

• rk.XML.connect() still handled modifiers for "governor" wrong if it wasn't a XiMpLe node

• also fixed how rk.XML.convert() and rk.XML.switch() were handling modifier checking

• rk.XML.dependencies() didn't know about min/max versions of pluginmaps (fixed in rk.XML.about() as well)

• some fixes to the skeleton GUI and demo script

• prevent internal function indent() from losing it over negative values

• indentation of rk.paste.JS.graph() was incorrect

• pasting comments via rk.paste.JS() gained an extra space for subsequent lines

• the "i18n" attribute in lists e.g. for rk.XML.radio() didn't really work

• improved indetation for rk.JS.oset objects

• rk.XML.varslot() and rk.XML.valueslot() didn't correctly add sources if they were character strings (which is valid)

• R.comment() didn't correctly paste indentation levels > 2

added

• new methods plugin2script() to try to translate raw plugin XML into working rkwarddev script calls

• new option "ignore" enables rk.uniqueIDs() to not check nodes for duplicates (e.g., <copy>)

• new wrapper function js() for id() makes it possible to use several operators without quoting, preserve "if" conditions and "for" loops, which all will be translated to JavaScript equivalents without the need for quoting. however, the "for" loop code is not publicly documented and remains a proof of concept kind of thing for now

• new option ".objects" in id() and ".ite" in rk.JS.options() to provide objects as a list

• new option "rk.JS.vars" to make JS variables match the name of the original R object

• new function idq() to print quoted IDs of XML nodes for use in JavaScript sections

• new function modifiers() to make checking for valid mdifiers of a given node easier

• new functions rk.get.indent() and rk.set.indent() to globally set indentation string

• new functions rk.get.empty.e() and rk.set.empty.e() to globally define the handling of empty "else" clauses in JavaScript

• in rk.JS.header(), the second value provided by "add" can now be named "noquote" to have it nested in the JS noquote() function

• new wrapper function rk.updatePluginMessages() for update_plugin_messages.py, the package now comes with its own copy of this core i18n script

• the generator info gained support for hinting at the very rkwarddev script file that was used to generate a particular plugin file

• new function rk.local() to be used as an alternative to local() with a predefined local environment to solve scope issues with js()

changed

• rk.uniqueIDs() now checks "dialog" and "wizard" sections separately

• updated the vignette with information on js(), plugin2script(), and how to add help pages

• internal function modif.validity() now calls modifiers() to give more useful feedback

• all functions offering "intent.by" as an option now fetch the default value by calling rk.get.indent()

• all functions offering "empty.e" as an option now fetch the default value by calling rk.get.empty.e()

• removed trailing newline in rk.JS.header() output

• updated test standards

Changes in rkwarddev version 0.07-3 (2015-06-29)

fixed

• rk.JS.header() now produces usable level options

added

• new slot "opt.sep" in classes rk.JS.arr and rk.JS.opt, as well as new option "opt.sep" in rk.paste.JS(), rk.JS.array() and rk.JS.options(), to manipulate the character string separating the previous options from the ones defined by these objects

Changes in rkwarddev version 0.07-2 (2015-03-14)

fixed

• replaced the outdated links to sourceforge with our new KDE URL

Changes in rkwarddev version 0.07-1 (2015-03-13)

fixed

• rk.XML.optionset() does now allow to re-use objects defined in the same function call (i.e., refer to optioncolumns in the logic section)

• removed arguments "help" and "component" from rk.XML.optionscolumn() again, as these are already being documented via the objects they connect to.

• rk.build.plugin() was still only using the "–no-vignettes" option from R < 3

• rk.XML.pluginmap() malformed label argument names if they referred to standrad maneu entries

• rk.plugin.skeleton() still allowed invalid IDs, fixed the regexp

• rk.XML.snippets() now also accepts <include> as child node

• rk.XML.tabbook() returns <insert> nodes as-is, not nested in <tab></tab>

• rk.JS.scan() now sets "state" as default modifier for checkboxes if guess.getter is TRUE

• rk.XML.connect() handled modifiers too strict if "client" was a string, and too liberal when "governor" was

• join() referenced a wrong object name if "var" was of class rk.JS.arr

• rk.XML.about() had a malformed error message

• rk.plugin.component() called XMLAttrs() with too many arguments

• rk.XML.values() and rk.XML.vars() do now handle all combinations of "horiz" and "add.nodes" properly

• fixed wrong link to rk.plugin.skeleton() in documentation of rk.XML.pluginmap()

added

• all "help" values can now be a list of character strings or XiMpLe nodes, to have more control over the markup

• added "property" and "duplicates" arguments to rk.XML.valueslot() and rk.XML.varslot().

• rk.XML.pluginmap() now adds a "po_id" attribute to pluginmaps, necessary for i18n

• new attribute "require.defaults" in rk.XML.pluginmap() to add rkward::menu and rkward::embedded as requirements

• new attribute "i18n" added to several XML functions; it takes a list with the named arguments "comment" or "context" to either produce an i18n comment node or an "i18n_context" attribute

• new function rk.i18n.comment() to give context for translators

• new function rk.JS.header() to easily generate JavaScript header code fit for i18n

• rk.XML.matrix() now also accepts the arguments "min_rows" and "min_columns"

• <dropdown>, <radio> and <select> have gained "string.quoted" as a valid property/modifier

• new function rk.XML.i18n() to define translatable labels in logic sections

• new function rk.rkh.label() for extracting labels from plugin elements

changed

• function i18n() was changed to be used in JavaScript generation only; this breaks code using the function introduced with 0.06-4, but that was to be shortlived from the start... the i18n features of 0.06-4 will be completely replaced with some proper methods now

• comment nodes (<!– foo –>) are now globally allowed as child nodes in XML; important for i18n comments

• modifier checks now point to rkwarddev:::all.valid.modifiers directly in case of errors

• internally, moved the definitions of valid child nodes and modifiers as well as default getter functions and modifiers to separate files, so they're more obvious to find and check

• rk.XML.input() now checks wheter "size" is exactly one of "small", "medium" or "large"

• rk.JS.doc() now uses a more robust method to set global variables, namely by defining an additional function setGlobalVars() and calling that inside preprocess()

• due to changes needed for i18n and rk.JS.header() to work, check your "result.header" values, there might be quote issues. for the most part, remove quotes you added for rkwarddev >= 0.05-0

• updated the generation of author and maintainer fileds in DESCRIPTIONs made by rk.plugin.skeleton(), borrowing get.authors() from roxyPackage

• rk.plugin.component() will now also move <dependencies> from <about> to a top level child node of plugin XML code, with a warning

• rk.plugin.skeleton() has a new logical switch called "internal", to set some defaults for plugins to be distributed with RKWard itself

• the "pluginmap" argument of rk.plugin.skeleton() now also accepts "namespace"

removed

• the functions rk.set.language() rk.get.language() were no longer useful and therefore removed

• also removed the option "lang" from rk.rkh.doc(), rk.XML.plugin(), rk.XML.pluginmap() and rk.plugin.skeleton()

Changes in rkwarddev version 0.06-5 (2014-10-19)

fixed

• the "show" feature in rk.plugin.skeleton() was broken due to changes in the namespace defaults

• scanning plugin XML code for JS and help related content didn't work as expected in rk.plugin.component()

• rk.rkh.scan() now also recognises <optioncolumn> and <matrix> nodes

• a logical bug prevented rk.plugin.component() to run with default values for XML

• internal function paste.JS.options(), used by rk.JS.options(), was only working correctly for the "then" part if ite() statements in arrays; now also produces usable code for an "else" part, if available

added

• new functions rk.XML.valueselector(), rk.XML.valueslot() and the combining rk.XML.values() to define <valueselector> and <valueslot> nodes, similar to rk.XML.varselector(), rk.XML.varslot() and rk.XML.vars()

• new function rk.XML.select() to define <select> nodes

• new functions rk.set.rkh.prompter() and rk.get.rkh.prompter() to make it easier to generate help files (later...)

• rk.rkh.scan() (and automatically rk.plugin.skeleton() and rk.plugin.component()) are now capable of fetching text set with rk.set.rkh.prompter() and use it to generate help files

• all functions scanned by rk.rkh.scan() for setting nodes in .rkh files have gained two additional arguments, "help" and "component", to register the text to be used via rk.set.rkh.prompter()

• new function rk.XML.option() to allow setting and accessing IDs for single options as well

• new function rk.JS.optionset() and object class "rk.JS.oset" to generate for loops over <optionset> columns

changed

• updated the plugin skeleton example script; e.g., it now uses the new .rkh file generating features

• rk.XML.radio() and rk.XML.dropdown() now also accept objects made with rk.XML.option() in their respective list of options

• renamed all class definition files due to include problems with roxygenize()

• allow non-maintainers to omit email addresses in <about> nodes

Changes in rkwarddev version 0.06-4 (2014-09-14)

added

• new functions rk.set.language(), rk.get.language() and i18n() to facilitate static internationalisation of plugins; makes use of a new internal environment .rkdev.env

• new parameter "lang" in functions rk.rkh.doc(), rk.XML.plugin(), rk.XML.pluginmap() and rk.plugin.skeleton() for internationalisation. if used, the attributes "lang" and "xml:lang" will be set in the <document> root of the generated files, respectively

• new parameter "localized" in rk.XML.require() for internationalisation

• the document id in rk.XML.pluginmap() can now be set manually

fixed

• abbreviation of labels now limits valid characters to [0-9A-Za-z]

Changes in rkwarddev version 0.06-3 (2013-12-21)

fixed

• fixed outdated example code for rk.plugin.component()

added

• new function rk.uniqueIDs() checks for duplicate IDs

• rk.JS.array() can now be told to quote values

changed

• rk.plugin.component() now automatically calls rk.uniqueIDs() and stops if IDs are not unique

Changes in rkwarddev version 0.06-2 (2013-04-04)

changed

• the structure of <about> nodes will change in RKWard 0.6.1, <dependencies> will become a direct child of <document> or <component>, which explains several changes in this release. this is not really critical, because this information wasn't evaluated by RKWard until now anyway

• for consistency, from now on <component> is never an empty node

• rk.XML.pluginmap(), rk.XML.plugin() and rk.plugin.skeleton() will now move <dependencies> from <about> to a top level child node of plugin maps, with a warning

• from rk.plugin.component() and rk.XML.plugin(), the "pluginmap" argument was replaced by the more general "include", which can now also process a vector of file names

• the object class rk.JS.var gained a new slot "getter" to set a default JS function to query variable values. it defaults to "getValue" to ensure compatibility with earlier releases. consequently, rk.JS.vars() and rk.paste.JS() have a new "getter" argument to set or overwrite this value. another new argument, "guess.getter", can be used to turn on automatic guessing which getter function might be most appropriate. this was also added to rk.plugin.component() and rk.plugin.skeleton().

• updated the skeleton_dialog.R demo file and recreated the plugin code

• JavaScript functions like rk.JS.scan() and id() learned how to treat <optionset>, <optioncolumn> and <matrix>

• the new class rk.JS.echo allows having objects in an echo() statement without quoting it

• new combined modifiers "visible.not", "visible.numeric", "enabled.not", "enabled.numeric", "state.not" and "state.numeric" are now supported

• modifiers have been added for <optionset> and <matrix>, and <switch> can have any modifier

fixed

• added some missing parameter in the docs for rk.paste.JS.graph()

• fixed a bug in the modifier checks; this unveiled a bug in how rk.JS.scan() dealt with <frame> nodes, which was also fixed

• fixed a duplicate entry in this ChangeLog for version 0.04-6

Changes in rkwarddev version 0.05-8 (2012-09-30)

added

Changes in rkwarddev version 0.05-4 (2012-04-06)

fixed

Changes in rkwarddev version 0.05-0 (2011-12-14)

• "result.header" now doesn't add quotes by itself in rk.JS.doc(), so you can have R objects pasted. previous scripts need to be adapted accordingly! the headers can also be deactivated by setting to FALSE or ""

• fixed show method for objects of class rk.JS.var with more than one variable object

• added support for global variables to rk.JS.doc() and rk.plugin.component(), and therefore also rk.plugin.skeleton()

• improved output of rk.JS.var class objects by rk.paste.JS()

Changes in rkwarddev version 0.04-5 (2011-10-28)

• set dependency of rkward to >= 0.5.6 to work around a glitch in rkward's package versioning. this can cause errors on real 0.5.6 installations because they lack functions introduced in 0.5.7 (to add & load a plugin automatically), but shouldn't really break anything

• added support to turn off modifier checks to rk.XML.set()

• fixed missing "id.name" option in rk.XML.embed()

• fixed automatic menu hierarchy generation for lists of legth 1 in rk.XML.pluginmap()

Changes in rkwarddev version 0.04-2 (2011-10-21)

Changes in rkwarddev version 0.03-3 (2011-10-09)

• replaced most of the "nodes" and "children" options with "..." in functions rk.rkh.related(), rk.rkh.settings(), rk.XML.col(), rk.XML.components(), rk.XML.context(), rk.XML.dialog(), rk.XML.frame(), rk.XML.hierarchy(), rk.XML.logic(), rk.XML.page(), rk.XML.row(), rk.XML.snippet(), rk.XML.snippets() and rk.XML.wizard(). therefore, you don't need to list() objects any more.

• any function which generates an ID now has an automation mechanism for it, which is also the default.
