ANN: make-doc-pro-104 RC1

 [1/7] from: robert::muench::robertmuench::de at: 19-Jul-2002 19:38


Hi, I'm now playing being a big software company ;-)) with beta, RC etc. release cycles. Anyway, I have updated MDP and fixed quite some bugs for special cases that are not so special if you let a non programmer use MDP ;-)). Further I'm thinking about changing the history section. Therefor I have changed the HTML emitter of bug-reporter to produce a complete list. Now you can see what bugs are open, fixed etc. Let me know what you think about this. Well, than have a lot of fun with MDP. Hopefully more and more people will use it... If you find any bugs etc. let me know. I haven't written a web-interface to submit bugs into my bug-database (yet). As always you can access the actual version through my Rebsite or by directly downloading here: http://www.robertmuench.de/make-doc-pro.r and don't forget to have a look at my homepage ;-)). Robert

You've ~still~ got those halt statements in there. ===What to do about halt statements... Anton.

Hi, ups really? Shouldn't be the case... I scan through the code. Well, there are only two of them in the last two lines. Just delete the last one and keep the one for debug-mode. That's it. Robert

But as I've said before, I don't want to be doing this everytime you make a new release. It will cause me to... either make a script to remove it automatically, which I view as not a perfect solution, or not to stay up-to-date with your changes, which is also not a perfect solution. You are losing potential feedback from me, here. Can you explain why you really need to halt the script "unnaturally" like this? :) Anton.

It's not a release yet ;-)).

Because falling back to the command-line of Rebol is way faster when I need to start MDP over and over again. It keeps the last directory and selected file information, that's why I end to the command-line. Robert

Well then, I can't wait for a release! :0 It's ok. ;)

Do you mean to say you change the current dir? That is very naughty. If, for whatever reason, your script fails before restoring the current directory, you will have modified the environment. It seems that every man and his dog has made a recursive directory parser (ie. tree). I have made one, but it does not modify the current directory. This is excellent, because my code may fail. If not today, then maybe in future, when a new version of rebol is out. I want to make my code resistant to annoying little things like that. This feature also made it easier to develop. (Of course, we can always wrap possible-crashing code in a try block.) Regards, Anton.

No, I don't. It's just request-file storing the informatio about the last accessed directory. Not make-doc-pro. There is still a bug in the =include command as it only scans in the directory make-doc-pro was started in. So you see... I don't change directories. I will scan different directories for the =include statement but don't change the internal state.

Right. MDP could perhaps be made a bit safer in some hot-spots. Mostly it accepts everything you throw at it but will perhaps generate wrong looking output. Robert
