LabelContainer is like a PairContainer where first widget can only be LabelWidget or EmptyWidget. This case is the most common, and allow to generate better code when label can be associated to widget (e.g. in HTML).
- widget to remove can now be specified in removePopUp: if it is not the current one, it will be removed from queue
- Primitivus.Alert method is a shortcut to display an Alert which will be removed on "OK" press
- showDialog is now obsolete and removed, if generic dialog creation is needed, XMLUI can be used
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
- 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!
/!\ Urwid SàText need to be updated /!\
- updated PrimitivusTabsContainer._xmluiAddTab to manage Urwid SàText changes
- if a box widget is added to PrimitivusVerticalContainer, if will use the full available space if it is alone, else it we have a height of 5 rows
- 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).
- _() is no more installed in __builtin__
- instead, there is a new sat.core.i18n module
- added D_() method for deferred translation
- languageSwitch method allow to dynamically change translation language
- import gettext is tested against ImportError, and dummy methods are used when not available (mainly useful for Libervia)
- session_id is resent in result data if found in incoming data
- list now use distinct labels and values (label is the one displayed, value is the one used for everything else)
- misc refactoring
/!\ urwid SàtExt must be updated ! /!\
- launchAction is now async, and return a dictionary for its result
- no more action_id, actionResult* are deprecated
- callback system is about to be unified
- changeset 56f8a9c99194 introduced a bug because it connected all the list widgets to the parameter change callback. This is not OK because the Tarot is using a list form that is not a parameter.
- some list processing was raising an error when the data is not initialized
- display the "choose contrat" dialog with valign='top' to allow the user see his hand while taking the decision.
- params with a security greater than security_limit can not be modified
- special value: security_limit < 0 disable the check (all params can be modified)
Advanced list are here to allow complex lists, with columns, ordering, customization à la amarok 2. This implementation is just a first draft which show the text version of items in a List.
