Builder 1.2
What has changed
Most of the changes in Builder 1.2 are related to the changes in
the Runtime 1.2, and are not visible to the end user.
Builder 1.2.1.0
Requirements
- FreeBongo Runtime 1.2.1.0
Changes
- Resource links updated
Some builder resources (such as audio, image and presentation files) had
not been updated to point to '.../tools/builder' instead of just '.../builder'.
The Windows 'FreeBongo.pif' shortcut has also been updated.
- fb-builder.jar is no longer compressed
Compressed .jars apparently do not work under all versions of the JDK, so
they are now distributed uncompressed. Surprisingly, this actually reduced
the size of the overall package.
Builder 1.2.0.6 (beta)
Requirements
- FreeBongo Runtime 1.2.0.6
Changes
- Package Changed to
org.freebongo.tools.builder
This is in line with the new packaging policy.
- GUI Conversion fixed
The GUI Conversion process has been reworked so that the TextPersistentState
is bypassed, removing the problems associated with that (such as properties beginning
with numbers, containing spaces, or containing symbols such as '?').
Builder 1.2.0.5 (beta)
This version requires the WidgetSet 1.2.0.5 or above to work correctly.
- All 'marimba' properties have been removed.
The last internal references to 'marimba' have been changed to 'org.freebongo'.
This does not effect outside applications.
Builder 1.2.0.4 (alpha)
This version requires the WidgetSet 1.2.0.4 or above to work correctly.
This will be the last alpha release. No new features will be added
after this release, just bug fixes.
- JAVA 2 (JDK1.2) COMPATIBLE
The Builder now works in the Java 2 environment.
The same classes work in both JDK1.1 and Java 2. There appear to be
some odd graphics stuff happening though on occasion, with sections of
the presentations being displayed with the colours negatised. This doesn't
seem to cause any other problems, though.
- VERSIONING SYSTEM CHANGE
To prevent confusion about versions in the future, the system from now on
will be the following: Development (alpha/beta) releases will have a version
along this pattern - *.*.0.* - eg. Builder 1.2.0.4. User releases will
have a version like this - *.*.1.* - eg Builder 1.2.1.0. There may be
a descriptive post-fix (eg '(alpha)') to indicate the stability of the release.
The development release minor version will not usually sync up with the
user minor version, but you will be able to tell what the most rescent
version of each is easily.
