- actionManager is used by default (no callback provided)
- in XMLUI, the dialog is closed before calling actionManager
- if keys are not managed in resuling data, an exceptions is raised
/!\ not finished, everything is still instable !
- bridge: DBus bridge has been modified to allow blocking call to be called in the same way as asynchronous calls
- bridge: calls with a callback and no errback are now possible, default errback log the error
- constants: removed hack to manage presence without OrderedDict, as an OrderedDict like class has been implemented in Libervia
- core: getLastResource has been removed and replaced by getMainResource (there is a global better management of resources)
- various style improvments: use of constants when possible, fixed variable overlaps, import of module instead of direct class import
- frontends: printInfo and printMessage methods in (Quick)Chat are more generic (use of extra instead of timestamp)
- frontends: bridge creation and option parsing (command line arguments) are now specified by the frontend in QuickApp __init__
- frontends: ProfileManager manage a more complete plug sequence (some stuff formerly manage in contact_list have moved to ProfileManager)
- quick_frontend (quick_widgets): QuickWidgetsManager is now iterable (all widgets are then returned), or can return an iterator on a specific class (return all widgets of this class) with getWidgets
- frontends: tools.jid can now be used in Pyjamas, with some care
- frontends (XMLUI): profile is now managed
- core (memory): big improvment on entities cache management (and specially resource management)
- core (params/exceptions): added PermissionError
- various fixes and improvments, check diff for more details
This refactoring allow primitivus to manage correctly several profiles at once, with various other improvments:
- profile_manager can now plug several profiles at once, requesting password when needed. No more profile plug specific method is used anymore in backend, instead a "validated" key is used in actions
- Primitivus widget are now based on a common "PrimitivusWidget" classe which mainly manage the decoration so far
- all widgets are treated in the same way (contactList, Chat, Progress, etc), no more chat_wins specific behaviour
- widgets are created in a dedicated manager, with facilities to react on new widget creation or other events
- quick_frontend introduce a new QuickWidget class, which aims to be as generic and flexible as possible. It can manage several targets (jids or something else), and several profiles
- each widget class return a Hash according to its target. For example if given a target jid and a profile, a widget class return a hash like (target.bare, profile), the same widget will be used for all resources of the same jid
- better management of CHAT_GROUP mode for Chat widgets
- some code moved from Primitivus to QuickFrontend, the final goal is to have most non backend code in QuickFrontend, and just graphic code in subclasses
- no more (un)escapePrivate/PRIVATE_PREFIX
- contactList improved a lot: entities not in roster and special entities (private MUC conversations) are better managed
- resources can be displayed in Primitivus, and their status messages
- profiles are managed in QuickFrontend with dedicated managers
This is work in progress, other frontends are broken. Urwid SàText need to be updated. Most of features of Primitivus should work as before (or in a better way ;))
- there are now XMLUIPanel and XMLUIDialog both inheriting from XMLUIBase
- following dialogs are managed:
- MessageDialog
- NoteDialog
- ConfirmDialog
- FileDialog
- XMLUI creation is now made using xmlui.create(...) instead of instanciating directly XMLUI
- classes must be registed in frontends
- "parent" attribute renamed to "_xmlui_parent" to avoid name conflicts with frontends toolkits
- to add UI callback not communication with the bridge
- a list of predefined actions can be used to copy, move, select values
- extra data can be passed within the 'internal_data' element
TODO: frontend side operation to retrieve the data from node to data structure should be generic
- we need to update urwid_satext to revision 79
- no more "value" attribute value in the "list" element, use
HTML-style "select" attribute in the "option" elements instead
- /!\ param saving do not handle multiple values yet!
- JidWidget is a text container a Jabber ID, this can be used by frontends for special treatment (e.g.: possibility to click on it)
- DividerWidget is a separator, like a blank or dashed line
- popup type is similar to normal window, but designed for a smaller popping window
/!\ Urwid SàText must be updated as the new TableContainer is used /!\
- fixed button value in paramsXML2XMLUI
- new Urwid SàText TabContainer is used in Primitivus for PairsContainer and AdvancedListContainer
- fixed in core's XMLUI AdvanceListContainer
- XMLUI now use objects with 2 main classes: widgets (button, label, etc), and container which contain widgets according to a layout
- widgets and containers classes are found through introspection, thereby it's really easy to add a new one
- there is still the AddWidgetName helper, for example AddText('jid', 'test@example.net') will add a StringWidget with name "jid" and default value "test@example.net"
- container can be inside other containers. changeContainer change the first parent container
- now there is a base XMLUI class. Frontends inherits from this class, and add their specific widgets/containers/behaviour
- wix: param.py has been removed, as the same behaviour has been reimplemented through XMLUI
- removed "misc" argument in XMLUI.__init__
- severals things are broken (gateway, directory search), following patches will fix them
- core: elements names in xml_tools.dataForm2XMLUI now use a construction with category_name/param_name to avoid name conflicts (could happen with 2 parameters of the same name in differents categories).
