SETools Report April 2007

> Hi all,

> The SETools Team is responsible for developing and maintaining software

> There is progress with Gjallar. Göran Krampe posted this in SETools Mailing

> -------------------------
> Hi folks!
>
> Just wanted to mention a few bits about the latest progress of Gjallar.
> As you may know I now use Debian Etch as my preferred desktop and thus the
> Linux port of Gjallar is my primary platform. The upcoming 0.4 release
> will be for Linux and Win32 (and possibly MacOS if I can get help with
> it).

> Done recently:
>
> - "My View" now has an edit mode. I have elected to put a small orange
> icon with a wrench in it down in the bottom right corner of "My View".
> Clicking it changes into "edit mode" where you can manipulate the "case
> panels" of "My View" and add new ones. The idea with an "edit/config mode"
> and a small icon to enter it is something I intend to use elsewhere too.
> This icon can also be turned off as a setting of the user - so end users
> could have it disabled and only using a preconfigured "My View" and
> filters etc.
>
> - Bug fix so that My View free text filtering works over all panels in
> parallell.
>
> - Plenty of other small things I know can't remember. :)
>
> Coming up next:
>
> - A darcs repository of the Gjallar file tree. This will include all files
> and all ports for Gjallar, but the Squeak code is still of course
> maintained using Monticello. I have one almost set up and will soon
> publish it.
>
> - Edit mode for the filters. As anyone should have noticed when running
> Gjallar it only has two hard coded filters to choose from in "View cases".
> Those filters are indeed proper domain objects but the creation of them
> are just done once, hardcoded, in an initialize method of Q2User. What we
> have intended all along is of course to enable the user to create his/her
> own filters and also have shared filters per Process that the process
> administrator can maintain.
>
> - The 0.4 release. I will probably do the above two things first, at least
> in rudimentary form, before releasing 0.4.
>
> - A live demo installation and a Gjallar for bugs in Gjallar. I almost
> have this in place but need to patch up a few things before making it
> public.
