CLOG 2.1 - Dev Journal

[rabbibotton]

Goals -

1. More complete coding tools. debugger, etc
2. Better auto update
3. One click install improvements
4. Faster gui builder

[rabbibotton]

One click for windows repo added https://github.com/rabbibotton/clog-win64-ez
Auto update menu option
Full interactive debugging in builder

[rabbibotton]

with-clog-debugger - any errors that with in will use a graphical debugger in clog-gui's

[rabbibotton]

Clicking sys-browser file name that is now a button opens the file in source-editor and finds the location in the file.

[rabbibotton]

clog-gui-initialize can now be set with use-clog-debugger so that all events use the clog-debugger

[rabbibotton]

Application launched from builder will by default pop debug messages on the builder page that launched the app

[rabbibotton]

There is now a console window and support for input to stdin as dialogs, so possible to use repl for console based apps etc

[rabbibotton]

clog-builder-repl added to give access to a graphical window with in the builder
clog-gui, clog-web added to clog-user

[rabbibotton]

The standard dialogs now can be set to block and return values using :time-out

[rabbibotton]

The server-file-dialog is resizable now

[rabbibotton]

The source editor now uses clog-popup what that means is that tabs or popups (configurable to use) are now slaves of your builder, so now existing windows of source will be reused and be focus on even if in different windows in the browser.

[rabbibotton]

Backtraces sent to console on errors
OS Shell

[rabbibotton]

Support ANSI colors in terminal

[rabbibotton]

New API for clog, clog:parent return the clog object that was used to create the current clog-obj and descendent of clog-element will have this set, others YMMV

[rabbibotton]

emacs style tabs using ctrl-t (mac)/alt-t or can be configured to use the Tab key

[rabbibotton]

made the emacs style tabs default now
Redid the repl so now have a area for working on your code and a button to transfer over to REPL, default now uses a per repl console that open with the repl

[rabbibotton]

Eval windows time out and close, the time is configurable for sel, form and file

[rabbibotton]

Better ECL compatibility

[rabbibotton]

Huge speedup for projects, projects now load "reasonably" well on windows

[rabbibotton]

Added Options -> Start SWANK Server Once
You can now startup a swank server on the builder (I no longer use emacs at all, but sometimes want to), let's you connect on demand an emacs server (in theory lem also but the release versions are not working)

[tluyben]

You are using CLOG almost fully to develop CLOG? Are you pushing to get enough features in to never start up emacs? What is missing to get there?

[rabbibotton]

I fully use the CLOG Builder. I only fire up emacs for testing it when used with emacs. I am working now on features to take it beyond emacs :)

[rabbibotton]

Now Builder's main interface is the project tree.
Project tree speed use on all platforms. Windows now very usable, asdf/quickslip load taking place in background and more progress hunting down the speed issues.

[rabbibotton]

clog-tool:open-file an alternative start for the builder and a command line script open-file for opening files

Right click menus for the project tree

[rabbibotton]

Replaced Dir View with Dir Tree that is similar to the project tree
