The ooRexx development team is announcing the availability of ooDialog 4.2.0 (beta) on SourceForge.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/oorexx/files/ooDialog/ ooDialog 4.2.0 will be the next major release of ooDialog. The release contains new dialog classes, new dialog controls, new methods, context menus, enhanced functionality, and much more. The beta version is being distributed through a technology currently called 'Switch ooDialog.' The Switch ooDialog package installs an application that easily and transparently switches the active version of ooDialog, in the ooRexx installation, between two different ooDialog versions. In this case between ooDialog 4.2.0 and the ooDialog version (4.1.0) distributed with ooRexx 4.1.0. Because of the ease of use with Switch ooDialog, the ooDialog programmer runs no risk in using and working with ooDialog 4.2.0 (beta.) Once installed, the ooDialog programmer can switch to ooDialog 4.2.0 to try it for a day, an hour, or even 10 minutes, then switch back to ooDialog 4.1.0. Switch ooDialog operates like a toogle and the user can switch back and forth between the two ooDialog versions at any time, as often as needed. Several read me files alongside the Switch ooDialog packages on SourceForge explain the use of Switch ooDialog and ooDialog 4.2.0 (beta) in more detail. As explained in the read me files, the primary purpose of releasing ooDialog 4.2.0 (beta) at this time is to solicit help from the user community in finishing up ooDialog 4.2.0 and getting it released. Although the implementing code for 4.2.0 is finished, there is still a lot of work to be done on the documentation and in testing. This work, is work that any user of ooDialog can help with. If you are at all interested in ooDialog, I am urging you to contribute to ooDialog by helping with the documentation and / or testing of ooDialog 4.2.0. Please subscribe to the ooRexx users mailing list and enquire as to how you can help. Detailed instructions explaining how to help with the documentation will be posted on the list in response to any questions asking how to contribute.
