- Some icons did not get marked (8 bit indexed image format)
- Colors in installation status dialog
One internal enhancement: progress adaptors can be
instantiated temporarily now to catch progress events.
Issue was: the asynch interface for HTTP access
wasn't entirely compatible between Curl and Qt
implementations.
Plus, the progress integration was messed up
because of the deleteLater scheme (progress was
visible even after the connection ended).
The deleteLater scheme was replaced by an
explicit close which does not require the
connection to be deleted immediately in the
receivers.
Reason: the timer involved measured CPU time. So if the
process wasn't CPU intensive (i.e. waiting for network
response), cancelling the operation wasn't possible.
Reasoning: on Qt <4.7, custom request are not available.
They are required however to implement WebDAV. libcurl
provides a substitute for QNetwork. This is important
for deployment on CentOS6 for example.
The issue is with "dllexport": previously, dllexport was present on
exposed templates tool (= visibility(default) for gcc/clang). This
ensured MacOS compatibility since then the typeinfo is corretly
shared and dynamic_cast/typeid works.
For Windows, the "dllexport" equivalent requires the template
instantiations to be declared "external" which is a coding nightmare.
The solution is to provide separate macros for real (non-specialized,
not explicitly instantiated) templates (.._PUBLIC_TEMPLATE) which
is defined as empty for Windows and "visiblity(default)" for gcc/clang.
1.) Startup issue:
This is solved by making sure templates with virtual functions
are made visible in the DSO. This way, dynamic_cast is possible
across DSO's.
Scary: clang/MacOS wants the forward declarations be declared visible as well.
2.) Menu issue:
The best solution is to have only one QMenuBar. The navigator
now gets a synthetic menu bar composed of QToolButtons.
* Moved tlSystemPaths into lay namespace where it belongs
* Doc updates
* New command line switch -y and -yd for unattended installation
* Download URL's can be relative to salt.mine URL
* KLAYOUT_HOME environment variable to make ~/.klayout configurable
* Better error messages on XML parser on file/stream read errors
(specifically from http/https)
The goal of the refactoring is to support unit tests
for the db library.
For this, a distributed unit test concept has been
introduced (later to be extended to other libs).
Unit tests are shared objects called ".ut" and are
automatically loaded by the ut runner. The bd library
now has two folders - one for sources and one for the
unit tests. The sources are separated into lib and apps.
First unit tests for the writer options have been
provided.
* To reduce the redundancy
* To enable testing of the bd library including the apps
The apps are entirely configured through their names.
Their .pro files are identical and the app implementation
is inside the bd lib (partially generic too). Hence the
apps can be tested by bd library unit tests.
