Changed

• entries of widget file path are scrollable

Fixed

[3.4.2] 2022 / 07 / 04

Changed

• mem_change and mem_check events removed: goal is to be more explicit

• tree (or graph, for exactness) structure well defined for widgets: it is very easy to fully traverse the tree

  • the tree can be trasversed by assuming all children are dicts

• status plays a central role now:

  • controls style of widgets

  • controls update of tab icon

• status computation:

  • to increase performance, traverse of full tree is avoided: status computed bottom-up (everytime a leaf status changes, statuses are updated until the top (but only following that path)

• tree -> children

• tab not passed as input to widgets, as it can quickly be retrieved

• previous_value comparison for coloring done against saved value

• new objects to handle creation of related objects (e.g. OTChoice)

• improved naming regarding public and private objects

• default is set when creating object, instead of using nob_complete

• improved TextConsole

• more abstraction

• handle of dependents: instead of a global event everytime there’s a change in a leaf, leaves now “know” which nodes/leaves depend on them and update them accordingly

• menus are now individual objects: building menus by composition should be trivial (specially useful for connection to external apps, such as neverd)

• connection to external apps simplified:

  • tab_3d key is still supported, but external apps can now be connect via their own yaml

Fixed

• smartpacker non-visible widgets influence
