 | Temporarily removed SVG support as the Apache License is not compatible
with the GPL. As soon as I find a GPL compatible alternative I'll
reinstate this functionality | moya |
 | Implemented Serializable for all classes are based on MillScript-Util
functionality | moya |
 | Fixed an issue with embedded XML which caused an exception when an
attribute value was not a string | moya |
 | Fixed an off by one error in the subrange function(used by the subrange
syntax [X..Y
]
) | moya |
 | Updated to use new AlertReporter interface from MillScript-Alert | moya |
 | Removed the Excel file loader, this can now be found in the
MillScript-Excel package, which uses the new plugin system to add the
loader into an installation. | moya |
 | Added a simple plugin infrastructure, which scans for plugin
configuration files on startup. | moya |
 | Fixed the HTML renderers emtpy element tag set to match the HTML
specification, i.e. an IFRAME is no longer considered an empty element,
but the non-standard BGSOUND, SPACER and WBR tags are. Fixes 1468394 . | moya |
 | Added XML namespace support to MillScript, via XML files in an
inventory, but not within the MillScript language(which will come
later) Fixes 1282047 . | moya |
 | Added support for fat strings, i.e. strings t
hat can span multiple
lines. Fat strings are intended to bridge the gap between single line
strings and autoloadable text files, i.e. medium length strings. Fixes 1290070 . | moya |
 | Added support for chained relational expressions, e.g. x
<
y
<
z,
where each expression is evaluated once and only if required. Fixes 1252595 . | moya |
 | Added support for loading Excel spreadsheets. This is strictly limited
to spreadsheets with text, numbers and very simple formulas(e.g. simple
arithmetic and no floating point). Upgrades to this support are planned
:-) Fixes 1252591 . | moya |
 | Ensure method's report their name, rather than pretending to be
anonymous. Fixes 1183623 . | moya |
 | Added a properties file renderer and function, so you can now easily
write Java properties files. Fixes 1292776 . | moya |
 | Migrating to Java 5 - added generics type information, annotated for
overrides and suppressing warnings and added enumerations | moya |
 | Simplified name resolution code. | moya |
 | Migrated Map(and List, etc) functionality from the Java Collections API
to the new MillScript-Util one. This unifies Lists and Maps at the Java
level, rather than the MillScript one. | moya |
 | Fixed the bug stopping you from updating an list when indexing with
negative indicies. Fixes 1279571 . | moya |
 | interfaces and implementations where
appropriate. Fixes 1181446 . | moya |
 | Migrated the template loaders to use the SAX API rather than
transforming a DOM object. Fixes 1181446 . | moya |
 | Added te-common library for command line argument parsing. Added a Java
implementation of the website and status commands. More will follow. Fixes 1159833 . | moya |
 | Added serialVersionUID's to serializable classes, to enable version
handling when serializing. Fixes 1201307 . | moya |
 | Added a TrueType font loader, so you can now put TrueType fonts in your
inventory and load them. When we have a graphics API you'll be able to
use these to draw onto images. Fixes 1182211 . | moya |
| Type | Changes | By |

 | Fixed a bug in the standard package that caused autoloadable items in
the standard inventory to be ignored. Fixes 1438074 . | moya |

 | function. | moya |
 | We now use JLine for the interactive sessions, unfortunately we have to
use a customised version as the st
andard distributed JAR at the moment
as it contains bugs. Fixes 1154554 . | moya |
 | function to take one or two arguments.
The single argument case is unchanged from the existing function, but
in the two argument case the second argument is the value to use if the
cache file cannot be found or read. Fixes 1176938 . | moya |
 | interface, and the
package autoloader now traps alerts and sets the origin if something
goes wrong during the autoloading process. So you now know which
template the error occurs in! | moya |
 | variable from within a template. Fixes 1120745 . | moya |
 | XML renderer has been modified to be XML 1.0 compliant. XML 1.0 has a
restriction on the range of valid characters, which the renderer now
respects. Illegal characters will by default be silently stripped from
the document. There is a configuration function which can be used to
switch on a warning message when an illegal character is encountered. Fixes 1146166 . | moya |
 | Corrected use of backslashes in the java.util.regex.support package.
After the change to native support, you no longer need to escape
backslashes when constructing a regex. Fixes 1164356 . | moya |
 | Added a new CDATA datatype. This allows you to include CDATA sections
in XML files. The renderers have been updated to render these sections
appropriately. | moya |
 | Added da
tafile, text and lines renderers. This updates all output file
functions to use renderers, rather than custom code. Now all output
functions benefit from consistent character set handling and more
importantly buffering. e.g. 40Mb datafiles will no longer require 2-3
times that much memory to write. | moya |
 | Refactored renderers, to reduce memory usage, clean up code and allow
for CDATA sections in HTML and XML files. We now only buffer 16k of
data rather than the entire file. Fixes 1104649 . | moya |
 | Removed the CharSetSupport utility class. This class held the current
output character set as a static variable, and has been replaced by
a non-static in the Configuration class. | moya |
 | When a Java method is invoked using the javaFunction function, an
InvocationTargetException is no longer reported as an internal fault. Fixes 1060175 . | moya |
 | The Machine now implements its own value, call and doing stacks. This
should provide a significant performance boost for all applications.
I've also changed various other methods to make use of the new machine
changes. | moya |
| Type | Changes | By |
|---|
 | Consolidated the for loop Iterators and ForIterators to remove the
unneeded plain Iterator methods. In most cases we had a ForIterator
wrapping a normal Iterator and we never used the plain versions. | moya |
 | Added a new configuration syntax to replace the previous Apache style
one. It is now based on a subset of MillScripts own syntax, where the
previous configuration directives are now normal MillScript functions.
The configuration pa
rser understands booleans, numbers, strings and
the use of parenthesis. | moya |
 | Fixed a bug which caused an infinite loop in the tokenizer if the last
thing in a file is an end of line comment. | moya |
 | . | moya |
 | The precedence of "." and "[" has been switched to correct a problem
exposed when changes were made to function application parsing. Fixes 1024272 . | moya |
 | hierarchy, which should be obsoleted by the new
VFS. | moya |
 | Quietly introducing the virtual filesystem. This has become the main
way to provide input to MillScript, with only the console interpreter
and configuration file loaders using a different system(temporarily) | moya |
 | Raster and SVG images are now cloneable(and hence now useful!). | moya |
 | Fixed the isElement recogniser function, to recognise instances of the
correct class, now they've moved into the datatypes package. All
recognisers have been made into built-in functions. | moya |
 | Added XML templates and skeleton files, using the extensions .xml.tp
and .xml.sk respectively. The special elements are now kept in their
own namespace, so any other namespaces and tags can be used. Fixes 1024252 . | moya |
 | keyword to allow you call the initialiser
of a parent class from within a child classes ini
tialiser. Fixes 1069469 . | moya |
 | Switched over to using the external Alert in commons and removed the
original built-in alert code | moya |
 | . Fixes 1069482 . | moya |
 | . It's fairly
simple and doesn't offer all the protection it should, but at least we
have it now! Fixes 1069469 . | moya |
 | Added an API for using regular expressions. With this addition the old
java.util.regex MillScript package has become obsolete and will be
removed in a future version. Fixes 1069482 . | moya |
 | Copied invocation target mishap improvements from the java method
invoking code, to the java constructor invoking code. Fixes 1060175 . | moya |
 | Corrected error message when parsing an XML attribute name, so it now
says "Invalid attribute name" or "Attribute name expected". Fixes 1060177 . | moya |
 | Improved error messages generated from input sources. | moya |
 | Improved error message issued when an unmappable character in
encountered when writing an HTML, XML or XSLT file. Fixes 1104062 . | moya |
 | . This removes unneeded
references from thes
e classes. | moya |
 | Fixed bug where using the dot syntax for function application could
cause the parser to read too much syntax as the function arguments.
This same fix was also applied to the this syntax, for the caret
operator. Fixes 1024272 . | moya |
 | Serialization of Page objects. This allows you to save Page objects
into a cache file and load them back. While saving should not generate
any problems, loading might. Consider if you save a Page to a cache
file, start a new instance of MillScript, make a new Page in the same
location with the same file name, then try to load your cache file...
The Page has already been made, so the one that's loaded isn't unique
anymore, and can't be loaded. Fixes 1024263 . | moya |
 | . It was a mistake to change it's name in the first
place, as the function returns a Page object representing one "page" in
the script output folder. | moya |
 | Refactored AbsFolderFunction and CoreFolderFunction into
AbstractOutputFunction and AbstractOutputFileFunction, to better
indicate their intended purpose. As a result all output file functions
now have a concept of a default file extension, rather than always
using ".html". | moya |
 | and Checkstyle changes
from changes to MillScripts class system. | moya |
 | Refactored procedure parsing code to reduce duplication. I've improved
the function header parsing error messages at the same time. This also
includes a f
ew tests for parsing function headers. | moya |
 | All procedures now share a common syntax class, with improved error
messages for function headers. | moya |
 | is the dispatch object. | moya |
 | ) is available to copy the contents of the
static resource folder to the current output folder. | moya |
 | Fixed a problem with error reporting in MillScript files interpreted
via the Package.interpret(File) method. It caught any Exception and
wrapped it as a "Can't open file" alert, including any already handled
AlertExceptions! This lead to some rather confusing error messages when
packages don't exist. | moya |
 | Removed Integer casts in favour of using CastLibrary where appropriate.
Now we don't get a ClassCastException if you try to add a string to an
integer! | moya |
 | Javadoc's everywhere, covering almost every class. | moya |
 | Removed unnecessary XMLCommentAction and XMLCommentExpr, as they simply
duplicate the functionality of ConstantExpr and ConstantAction. | moya |

 | library. To abstract
the difference between a raster and SVG image, I've created an Image
class for MillScript. This Image class will be the basis of all future
image processing in Millscript. | moya |

be updated. Currently you can only have a default constructor, which is
defined for you, and there are no methods yet. | moya |

 | section of the documentation for more details. | moya |
 | Improved logging level support and configuration directive handling.
Verbose and quiet options for build command are properly handled again. | moya |
 | Corrected class name for reverse function, so it now works again. Fixes 1024264 . | moya |
 | doesn't return any results. Fixes 1046358 . | moya |
 | Hopefully all alerts are now decorated with an origin/line number. This
involved shuffling a bit of code around to get it all inside try/catch
blocks. | moya |
 | Fixed "Unexpected symbol" mishap, so that it now reports an origin and
line numbers! It makes these errors much easier to debug now. | moya |
 | Initial version of session classes, a utility for creating a
working
MillScript engine and configuration. Needs work to be more useful for
general purporse code. | moya |
 | section of the documentation for more details. | moya |
 | All configuration files have been changed to use an Apache style
syntax. We now have a hand-coded tokenizer and parser for these files,
which has allowed for improved mishap messages. Unfortunately this has
lead to changing the name of the configuration files to be consistent. | moya |
 | Functions are now configured via an internal configuration file. | moya |
 | Loaders are now configured via an internal configuration file. | moya |
 | Added Configuration classes to replace Prefs. This is to allow us to
configure an Engine in a standard way. | moya |
 | Added a tools package to contain generic utilities that don't fit
anywhere else. | moya |
 | All the Java unit tests have been updated to work with the MillScript
API. They run successfully from Maven and within Eclipse. | moya |
 | New standard engine and package classes for general use. These define
the standard set of functions and variables that make up a basic
MillScript environment. | moya |
 | We now have a basic API for using MillScript from within other Java
programs. This API is provided by Engine, Package and FunctionCall. It
basically works and will be refined in the short term. | moya |
 | i18n message directory structure source now matches millscript layout.
This allows us to build the code properly in eclipse. | moya |
 | Refactored a few of the remaining files into their new packages.
Specifically Ident, GlobalIdent, LocalIdent and Ref. | moya |
 | | moya |
 | Refactored alert, datatype, render and virtual machine code into
respective alert, datatypes, render and vm pacakges. | moya |
 | Refactored remaining function and loader code into functions and
loaders packages. | moya |
 | Refactored expression,action and syntax code into new packages
org.millscript.millscript.expr, org.millscript.millscript.action and
org.millscript.millscript.syntax. | moya |
 | Maplet indexing fixed. It is now 1 indexed, where it was previously 2 indexed! | moya |
| Type | Changes | By |

 | Added support for database lockfiles, to avoid connecting to a database
during synchronisation. This should probably b
e handled by master/slave
database arrangments, rather than dumping, dropping and restoring, but
it's a handy feature regardless. | moya |
 | Improved javadoc generation. Should now link to Java 1.4.2 API docs at
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/ | moya |
 | Added mishaps for operations trying to update immutable lists. This
still needs more work for even better error reports. | moya |
 | . | moya |
 | value. Previous a NullPointerException was thrown. | moya |
 | Added mishaps for indexing operations. This doesn't include subrange
operations. | moya |
 | Significant number of MillScript classes now have some javadoc, it may
not be brilliant but at least it gives the general idea, if not the
exact. | moya |
