- What's New
- Tzu Release 4 for CodeWarrior
- ©1994 Chris K. Thomas. All Rights Reserved.
-
- In release 4:
- * The menu title now dims & lightens properly according to the front
- window.
- * Added yet more Finder niceties.
- * Misc. fixes for non-crashing bugs.
- * Each running CodeWarrior enviroment now gets a different instance of
- Tzu. This eliminates all problems involved with using Tzu in a
- multi-enviroment enviroment.
-
- In release 3 (select audiences only):
- * New Tzu Tools.
- * Added menu item to check for new Tzu Tools and add them to
- the menu. Don't have to quit and re-enter CodeWarrior anymore.
- * Discovered that some invariably Un*x software was screwing up the
- description in Info-Mac digest because I was using equal signs in my
- section headings. Fixed.
- * Added unhelpful Finder balloon help after reading in c.s.m.system
- about the impossibility of trying to figure out what each extension does
- in 7.5.
- * Complete internal reorganization. No real visible changes, but the
- changes will greatly increase the speed with which I can make changes
- in the future.
- * Icon now shown at startup.
- * Tweaked icon a bit more & added new tool icon.
-
- In 1.0a2:
- * Command key support
- * Many bug fixes & much error checking installed
- * Internal fixes you should never see
- * Error notification installed - previously would just beep on error
- * Added Wrap Tzu Tool
- * New icons. These fit right in with the CodeWarrior traditional icon
- scheme- they were designed for color, they don't hilite correctly, and
- the black & white versions are ugly. Much improved, but tool icons
- still need work
- * Only one system-wide trap patched now
- * No longer changes the contents of clipboard
- * Comment & Uncomment tools rewritten to behave intuitively
-
- Improvements to be done for future releases include:
- • More Tzu Tools, including Pascal languge helpers eg PasComment.
- • A truly enviable Tzu Tool calling interface. The current Tzu Tools
- interface will be supported indefinitely. The new interface should
- support hierarchial sub-menus, error notification, simplification of
- common tasks, preferences, and other really neat stuff.
- • A method to sort the menu items without such kludges as renaming the
- tools in the Finder.
- • Launch each Tool in it's own thread, if I can figure a way to not upset
- CodeWarrior in the process. Or maybe that should be an optional feature
- of the robustified Tzu Tool interface. Yes, that seems more likely.
