* No need for the atomically changed variables to be declared as
volatile.
* Drop support for atomically getting and setting unaligned data.
* Introduce atomic_get_and_set[64]() which works the same as
atomic_set[64]() used to. atomic_set[64]() does not return the
previous value anymore.
* The new class is called DriverSettingsMessageAdapter which can translate
between a driver_settings file, and a BMessage.
* The net_server Settings class is now just using this class.
* Factor out the code to add some data to the about window, with a header and a content under it
* Make this method public so it's possible to add custom entries in an about box
* If the method is called with only the header or only the content, the text is added non-bold and non-indented (like the description entry*).
* Make the header text bold. I'm not sure it looks that good, after all. Thoughts ?
* Set its type to B_MODAL_WINDO, and also set B_NOT_MOVABLE
* Since this removes the window tab, add an "Ok" button to close the window
* Remove the GetWindow mess and just use it as any regular window
* Adjust all callers again
The AlertPosition method doesn't seem to work right, the window pops up
offset to the right. I also noticed that some of our calls to BAboutWindow
are actually not reacable because we removed Abutrequested from the apps.
Maybe we should clean them up (locale preflet and activity monitor are examples)
More annoying is the fact that opening a modal window from a deskbar replicant
is modal against the whole deskbar. Not sure what to do about that.
BAboutWindow returned false in QuitRequested in order to hide instead of closing.
Not only this keeps a BLooper running for a rarely used window, but it also
prevents quitting an application in the window was not destroyed first.
* Remove aforementioned QuitRequested method,
* Add a static GetWindow method that returns the existing about window, if there
is one, or creates one if there is not. A boolean can be set to tell the caller
what happened,
* Adjust all callers to use that new method, instead of managing the window themselves.
* This parses the reported CPU name, and tries to translate it to a normal
and concise identifier.
* For example, it will translate "AMD FX(tm)-8320 Eight-core Processor" into
"FX™ 8320" or "Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 275 HE" into
"Opteron™ 275 HE".
* This means we can remove AMD strings for those models for which this
function produces useful results.
Pass the BHandler object that opened the about window to BAboutWindow.
When the window closes, send a kAboutWindowClosed message back to the
handler. This allows the handler to set the variable to NULL.
Implement the new about dialog constructor in all apps that use it.
Remove the old constructor. This now works reliably for all cases I
tested without crashing and does the right thing on close. The setup
and teardown is a bit more complicated than I wanted though.
Unfortunately this seems to be necessary when not using a BAlert.
Fetching the app icon does not work reliably yet. This is because for
replicants the app may not be running. I may have to pass the icon in
instead of grabbing it from the signature.
* Grabs the app icon and version from the resource file.
* Allow you to specify the copyright holder instead of hardcoding
"Haiku, Inc."
* Support multiple extra copyright fields.
* Modify BAlert to take a custom icon.
* Set the custom icon of the BAlert to the app icon.
* Also set the app version.
* Convert BAboutWindow to derive from BWindow
* Place a 128x128 icon and fill out a scrolling BTextView
with options such as authors, version history, copyright,
license, etc. Still needs some work but is coming along.
* Add the word Version to the version line, i8n'ed of course,
and tweak the info box and default sizes.
* When we do not have a predefined model string, we now try to parse
the reported model string into something that is at least usable,
and should look comparable to what we have now.
* For models where the parsed type string is acceptable, we could remove
the predefined ones.
No functional change.
* Surround email addresses in angle brackets.
* Add myself to ExpressionParser.cpp and .h
* Remove myself from ExpressionTextView.cpp and .h
* Alphatetize authors by last name.
Thanks Ingo and Axel.
Default is radian mode, You set the option in the right click menu
like the other options.
Note: degree mode does not affect hyperbolic trigonometric functions.
This is how Mac Calculator, Windows Calculator, and Google Calculator
work.
