GitLab

Detail:
  Title bar is not visible on the NC but it is still written to and must
  be indirected with 60 byte string.
  This fault was introduced in Wimp 4.48.

Admin:
  Should fix customer fault 075. Untested.

Version 4.49. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_49'

Detail:
  Removed palette from ptr_default and ptr_double srpites in
   NC2.UK resources.

Admin:
  Requires a boot structure that sets up the pointer colours
   as you want them.

Version 4.48. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_48'

Byrne.

Version 4.47. Not tagged

Detail:
  Lots of little changes throughout a lot of source.
Admin:
  Appears to work - not stress tested with things like lots of tasks, big
  transfers, and all the other things that tend to go wrong.

Version 4.47. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_47'

Detail:
  !WinEdit appears to have corrupted the Templates file when it was
  editted to change the Japanese translations.

  Hopefully rectified this by reapplying the translation changes using
  !FormEd.  Also changed the translation for the middle button in the
  error box back so that it reads "Cancel" (in Japanese of course).


Version 4.46. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_46'

Detail:
  Added Japanese translations received from customer into Messages
  and Templates files


Version 4.45. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_45'

Version 4.44. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_44'

Detail:
  The code that checked for a Wimp_Initialise version number of >= 380 before
  applying the new interpretation of title foreground colour &FF was broken:
  it was checking the current task handle instead of the task handle of the
  window's creator. A few other things needed tampering with in order to ensure
  that the window's task handle word is correctly set up at the time that the
  colour check is performed.
Admin:
  Tested in a desktop build, using STB resources.

Version 4.43. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_43'

Detail:
  * New STB Sprites, Templates and Tools files imported, based upon the
    Lazarus UI rather than the old STB UI.
  * STB build now includes WIMPSymbol.
  * No longer attempts to use WIMPSymbol font in UTF8 builds which didn't
    register the font in ResourceFS.
  * Simplified Resources directories by assigning only a single pair of
    Messages files to each locale, rather than for each UI directory within
    each locale directory. The only code change required is to make the Wimp
    error box always use the "Continue" token for NC/STB builds, rather than
    using one of "OK" and "Continue", as with desktop builds.
Admin:
  Not tested.

Version 4.42. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_42'

Detail:
  * New STB Sprites, Templates and Tools files imported, based upon the
    Lazarus UI rather than the old STB UI.
  * STB now includes WIMPSymbol.
  * No longer attempts to use WIMPSymbol font in UTF8 builds which didn't

Version 4.42. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_42'

Detail:
  Removed Fresco sprites from sprite files.
Admin:
  Has yet to be tested in a ROM.


Version 4.41. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_41'

* NoCommandPrompt is disabled, so we'll get "Press SPACE or click mouse to
  continue" back again on exit from command windows
* UseAMBControl and StrongARM flags are no longer conditional, since the
  new STB kernel is guaranteed to support them

Version 4.40. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_40'

Version 4.39. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_39'

Detail:
  Removed onscreen keyboard sprites from a number of builds, these
  sprites are now held in NCKeyboard's resources.


Version 4.38. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_38'

Version 4.37. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_37'

Detail:

  * The top of the toolbar had a single pixel light-grey line along the
    edge.  This caused unpleasant twittering on TV displays.  Although
    the twittering is always going to be a problem, due to the boundary
    between the toolbar and the browser window, this small change to
    remove the light-grey line improves the situation.  A thick dark-grey
    line is now used instead which significantly reduces the effect of
    the twitter.

    (This change applied to NCFrescoRO also; I doubt whether the WIMP
    sprite pool version is actually used but I've changed this anyway
    just in case!)

Admin:

  * Tested as a softload on Lazarus hardware.

Version 4.36. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_36'

Detail:
  Title bars: one of the Ursula redraw optimisations was that if the title
  bar sprites had no mask, then the title bar is no longer filled in before the
  sprites are plotted. Lazarus' toolsprites were falling foul of this, because
  the title bar top and bottom sprites (tbarmidt/tbarmidb) had a lesser height
  than the end sprites (tbarlcap/tbarrcap). Because pre-Ursula Wimps filled
  in the title bar regardless, this may not have shown up in the past. The Wimp
  now has an additional check: if there is a gap between the title bar sprites,
  then it always fills in the title bar background before plotting the sprites.

  Error box buttons: the "illuminated" side of the 3D plinths have always been
  white, so they were getting lost against the white Lazarus UI background.
  Used Ursula Wimp icon colour validation string extension to colour the
  borders a uniform grey.

Admin:
  Tested on a desktop machine, soft-loading the Lazarus Wimp resources.
  Fixes faults 1115 and 1121.

Version 4.35. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_35'

Detail:
  * Added missing Resources/UK/Ursula/CmdHelp file.
  * Added missing Resources/UK/Ursula/Messages file.
Admin:
  * Tested on build 'Ursula'.

Version 4.34. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_34'

Detail:

  * Added the toolbar level indicator sprites; they were accidentally
    missed out of the previous set of sprites.

Admin:

  * Untested, but the new sprites should appear in the right location on
    the browser toolbars.

Version 4.33. Not tagged

Detail:

  * New WIMP sprites for the updated Lazarus user-interface.

Admin:

  * Tested on new LazarusUI and NCFresco as a softload on Lazarus hardware.

Version 4.33. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_33'

(This stops system font character 128 being reprogrammed to a tick, and also
stops the desktop font being switched to WimpSymbol when character 128 is
encountered.)

Version 4.32. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_32'

Detail:

  Changes made to Lazarus resources only in progressing towards the
  final UI for the IAC.  Affected files are:

    * Sprites: reduced-palette sprites used where possible to minimize
      memory usage.

    * Templates: the foreground colour of icon #0 in the error dialogue
      box has been altered to be colour 0 (black) in line with the
      other template changes made in previous versions.  (This icon
      was accidentally missed.)

Admin:

  Minor changes, but untested.

Version 4.31. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_31'

  * Changed the foreground text colour to black in the "Error"
    window of the template file.

Version 4.30. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_30'

  * Added transparancy to the radio buttons.

  * Included the online indicator sprites.

Version 4.29. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_29'

  * Made background of error dialogue box white to match the UI.

  * Changed the WIMP backwindow colour to black; this stops the
    grey flash as the desktop starts up on booting.

Version 4.28. Not tagged

Version 4.28. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_28'

Version 4.27. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_27'

  * Added Timeouts sprites for NCOptions startup page.
  * Removed sprites for Favourites and Telephone Dialling that were spelt
    American-style and replaced with UK variants.

Version 4.26. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_26'

Updated Sprites for Lazarus build.  Added sprites for 'WWW' and 'Options' as used on Connect.html in NCMAlite.

Version 4.25. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_25'

Doing all of recalcmodevars on Service_ModeChanging turns out to be a Bad Idea because some of the Wimp's copies of VDU variables end up out-of-date. Now only the parts pertaining to command windows are done on Service_ModeChanging

(for that was the bit we were having trouble with), and the rest is back on
Service_ModeChange.

Version 4.24. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_24'

(this was clashing with the Interlace module at one point during STB
development, and had the potential to trip us up again in the future).

No longer produces build errors if some resources are absent.

Corrected token in Japan messages file to use valid UTF-8 character.

Service call table now included by default.

Version 4.23. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_23'

Version 4.22. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_22'

Initial import of Lazarus resources.  Based on Resources/UK/NC2 with sprites file changed appropriately.

Version 4.21. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_21'

Added new "Timeout" sprites to the Japan Wimp sprite pool.  Note that these are named "TimeoutG" (for generic timeout) because they do not include modem- or Ethernet-build specific sub-text; this also allows the modem variant to remain unaltered because this uses the original sprites.

Version number NOT incremented.

Version 4.19. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_19'

Version 4.18. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_18'

Removed the code that restores the original pointer shape when leaving an error box (NCErrorBox conditional in Wimp07:finisherror).

This option is no longer necessary now that the Wimp_Extend support
ensures that the pointer appears and disappears as the user expects.

Version 4.17. Tagged as 'Wimp-4_17'
