[ANN][Bloc] February report

Hi all

Today is sunday meaning that we should make a monthly report on what happened in Bloc in February.

- BlLinearLayout (stack layout + proportional layout)

Uses gtExample for examples and tests: BlLinearLayoutExamples
Has extensive class docs and method docs. Still some methods are missing docs.
Has "book" chapter (more info below)

- Integration with OS-Window

Finally works, really fast.
Events do not work as expected because of https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/17757

- Unified shape scaling behaviour.

By default shape scales to fill BlElement's extent.
Supports different resizing strategies.
Started "book" chapter

- Added documentation to various parts of Bloc

Still there are a lot of places not covered with docs.
Also we auto-generate "book" chapters from bloc example classes. In attachment you can find linear-layout and not finished shape chapter.

Future

- Bloc presentation on PharoDays2016

01 April 2016
11:05–11:25 Bloc: Towards a vector-based GUI

- Working on

Grid layout (all rules above apply, docs + tests + chapter)
Bloc tests
Documentation

Cheers,

Alex

Re: [ANN][Bloc] February report

I heard that you made several braking backward compatibility changes to Bloc, is there a timeline or roadmap when the specification of the API will stabilize so we can use it without the fear of our GUIs stop working because Bloc brakes backward compatibility ?

Hi,

The goal is to get to an alpha state until PharoDays.

Hi Alex

How can I "compile" the doc and read it?
Clement in his tutorial on VM use pillar and download an image and extract from the image the examples
so may be we could do the same.
Should I run the examples when I do a change to make sure that I'm not breaking something.
How do you get green tests?

Re: [ANN][Bloc] February report

Hi,

The readable htmls are already pre-built in the zip file:
./build/layouts/linear/linear.html
./build/shape/path/shape.html

These files are produced out of source code that is based on a little engine for describing such step-by-step tutorials. But, the details of this engine are still being worked on.

Cheers,
Doru

Re: [ANN][Bloc] February report

Nice!
Since the development of pillar will restart at the end of the month it
would be good to make sure that the new version
does not break this output. So it would be good to have a job that
generates and publish the doc on the web
We could have it under http://books.pharo.org

I did a new version with Alpha Books and Bloc documentation could go
there if you want.
Now it may be too early.

Hi Alex,

This is a fantastic report. Unfortunately, I will not be at Pharo’s days.
We will have a very close look at it as Bloc will be the base of Roassal3.

Cheers,
Alexandre
