[Lazarus] New Lazarus IDE/LCL features since ...?

2009-04-21 Thread Graeme Geldenhuys
Hi all,

Seeing that CodeGear has this new ??? features since Delphi 7, why
can't we start something like that for Lazarus as well. I don't really
know why exactly the CodeGear guys decided since Delphi 7 and not
another version though.

When I look at the features listed in the links below, I am more and
more impressed with Lazarus. (well done to all!) We have most of those
features and more... Such a wiki page or two would be a nice one-stop
show-off page like come see what Lazarus has to offer...  :-)

Your thoughts on such a wiki page idea?

To continue from my previous post...

Also, grouping feature as they got introduced, by version number (with
release date) will show that Lazarus didn't copy every thing from
Borland. Lazarus had some feature way before Delphi.

For example:
  * build in diff viewer
  * guidelines in the form designer
  * refactoring
  * editor features like divider lines
  * favourites in Object Inspector
  * integrated unit testing with FPCUnit
  * beter anchoring and margins in form designer
  * .

I created the following two wiki pages and started listing ideas. I'll
research how to create animated gif images (I use Linux) to show the
features in action.  Later I'll group them my Lazarus release versions
so we can get a time line going.

http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/New_LCL_features_since

I think we can add a Free Pascal Compiler (RTL) feature list as well.

Please add any more ideas you can think of in the wiki pages. :-)

Delphi 7 was the last classic ide of Delphi.

I think before we will implement such advance features, we first need to
implement missgin features from Delphi 2-7 .
Such features are Right To Left language support (bidi and component
alignment) and few more.

The last truly working Delphi.  I get it now.  :-)

I'm not talking about implementing new features or feature requiest
listing... I'm talking about listing _already implemented_ and very
impressive features in the wiki. And using animated gives were needed
to quickly show the feature in action. We can then also add links to
the actual documentation of that feature (if it exists).

Graeme, in this page:

 To interest more Delphi programmers, maybe we could also provide some
 kind of feature comparison list. We should provide to kind of

That would be good, but the problem with that would be that you must
have knowledge of both products. I haven't used Delphi (last used v7)

I uploaded my first image to the wiki and referenced it in the IDE
features page.  Is there a wiki image naming conversion i should have
used?

In the future I though of naming the images relating to the page. For example:
  ide_features_block_matching.gif instead ofblock_matching.gif

Is this a good idea or is there something better? An existing naming conversion?

 The IDE automatically highlights matching blocks - begin..end pairs.

 I know you need it, you have supplied several patches to improve Bidi
 in Lazarus. Ido thinks it needs improvement and I am waiting for his
 patches :-).


Actually I made some, but after the story of GTK 2.8 I stopped working on it
(you - the core team made me very angry about how it was reacted), so now
someone needs to work on it again, and it will not be me.

Very simple to solve this: Just add the gtk 2.8 code around IFDEFs. I
think this is already done for other features

Absolutely unecessary to have hurt fealings and personal disputes
about something so simple.
