ABI break; API bump?
by Andrew Cowie

Rate this Message:
I just made an ABI break.
It's a teeny tiny one, and as a signature fix it comes under the warning on the main /4.0/ web page. The fix is going in (it has to), but I am debating whether this should cue a bump in java-gnome's API version number. ie, we are [quite deliberately] set up as epoch.api.version right now. So the next release will either be 4.0.13 or 4.1.1 The glitch in question is that we had gunichar registered as Java char, not Java int. So, surprise, splat. The method that is changing is TextIter's getChar(), now returning int. No one with a widely distributed libre codebase is using it, so I don't feel compelled to bump java-gnome's API version number, but I thought I'd let you know I was thinking about it. [if it wasn't for the fact that StringBuffer's append(int) doesn't append the codepoint but instead does a Integer.toString(int), this would have been transparent. Alas] If I do, I'll remove all the @deprecated stuff at the same time.

Correcting the unicode behaviour is really important, so I'm going to do
the a bug fix release of java-gnome quite soon and without much fanfare. If anyone has anything they want in, then now would be a good time.

Hello Andrew,
> If anyone has anything they want in, then now would be a good time. I did some changes (the ones we talk on IRC) on my GTK 2.16 entry branch [bzr/java-gnome/hackers/guillaume/entry-gtk-2.16/]. If you can take a look to see if it's ready to be pulled in mainline it would be nice. And of course, if it's ready to be pulled then pushed go ahead :) -- Guillaume Mazoyer - http://www.respawner.fr/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

I think that example needs to use a TreeModelFilter rather than the manual clear & repopulate you're doing now, but that doesn't matter enough for me to block your branch. One last thing, though: were you planning on *using* the Snapshots you created? I think you need to add <img> to the Entry.java class javadoc comment :) Your branch is otherwise fine and will be merged to 'mainline'. If you can just maybe do that one thing for the docs, that'd be great.

Thank you for the tip. > One last thing, though: were you planning on *using* the Snapshots you > created?

It was a mistake I made when I did the documentation, the "fix" is now pushed. > Your branch is otherwise fine and will be merged to 'mainline'.
