User-visible changes in GZigZag
===============================
The 0.6 Series
==============
0.6.3 (2002-03-07)
-----
The following features have been added:
- A PUICOPYRANK action (bound by default to Ctrl-Alt-C) has
been added. It copies the cell contents along the y-dimension
rank to the PUI clipboard, inserting newlines between cells.
The following features have been improved:
- The Row and Column views have been fixed to show the dimensions
always. Previously, in some common cases the dimensions were hidden
under the cells shown by the views.
- The Ball-and-Strick cell view now does line breaking.
- The Prez (presentation) module has been changed so that its view
now uses the dimension settings (x, y and z axis) instead of fixed
dimension names (d.1, d.2 and d.3), and to work with circular ranks.
The following bugs have been fixed:
- The mindmapping module is now included in the official jars.
- Documentation/index.html had a HTML error; this is now fixed.
0.6.2 (2002-02-16)
-----
A bug that made GZigZag not run on Java 1.2 and above has been fixed.
GZZ does not compile correctly with IBM's jikes 1.15 now; Sun's javac
works (you may also want to try jikes 1.14).
The following new features have been added:
- Asko Soukka's MindSundew and MindSun views, providing a mindmapping-like
interface to the ZZ structure. They works together nicely with the common
key bindings. You can find them under AllViews after creating a new space,
or re-generating the system part of an old space using the '-new'
command line option.
Note that these views are only available in versions of GZigZag that
include this module.
The following features have been improved:
- The row/column views show like they did previous to version 0.3.0, again.
0.6.1 (2001-08-17)
-----
Flowing Clang has been brought back to life (it wasn't included in some
previous releases due to lack of interest).
The following new features have been added:
- The EDITHACK action (found on the actions list), which allows opening
a window for text editing. Java's AWT classes are used, which have
support for mouse selection, the PUI clipboard, and entering Japanese
characters, among other things. (For internal reasons, the text window
is not automatically re-opened when the client starts again; the
EDITHACK action has to be executed again.)
0.6.0
-----
Support for the old "PersistentDimSpace" file format has been removed.
The following new features have been added:
- A preliminary ZigZag Transfer Protocol (ZTP) implementation
- space dump and slurp functionality (for disaster recovery
and format conversions)
- accessing past versions of the space
- a panic button
- demo module: associative writing tool - a multilayered concept map
- a -help option to the command line
- a multiline cell view
- support for cell-view specific bindings: when a cell view is associated
with a cell in the structure (per d.cellview connection), in the cell
edit mode bindings associated with that cellview can be used (so that
content which isn't plain text can be edited easily)
The following features have been improved:
- the user's guide
- the multimedia module
- the virtual community module
- sound support
- view infrastructure
The following notable bug fixes have been made:
- the new UTF-8-based string scroll format actually works now
- umlauts aren't doubled (don't appear twice when entered only once)
The 0.5 Series
==============
The following new features have been added:
- Notemap Star view, a view showing a map of cells connected in a network
structure
- Parallel (Split) Nile View, a view which places two Nile streams next to
each other and shows transclusions with beams
- A preliminary multimedia module
- A prototype virtual community module
The 0.4 Series
==============
The following new features have been added:
- A new UTF-8-based string scroll format (used in new scrolls;
existing scrolls continue to use the old format)
- a prototype NILE (NILE Is A Literary Editor)
- Zaubertrank
- F1 is help
The 0.3 Series
==============
Release 0.3.0 (2000-11-21)
-------------
The following new features have been added:
- a new user's guide (work in progress, but already very useful)
- Heraclitus Clang
- XOR mode cursors
- Text find
- Flowing Clang
- Internationalization
- Calendar demo
- IC View
- Cursor View
- Rewritten XML import / export
- Wordnet applitude
- ball&stick model
- split vanishing into vanishing and rowcol
- nicer geometry for rowcol
- new, interesting parameters for vanishing: revper, halign
*** REQUIRES RECREATION OF SYSTEM PART ***
- ZOb's names are now class names.
The following internal changes have been made
- huge API change to shorter core function names in ZZCell
