31 CGlobalText - 0 virtual functions, 1 data member
32 CRichText - 0 virtual functions, 1 data member
33 MLayDoc - 1 virtual function, 0 data members

36 Release 145 made by Graham Asher on 7th October 1999
37 ====================================================
39 This release is intended for Text 6.0.
41 Fixed the following defects reported in Symbian Defect Tracking:
43 EDNGASR-4BWKHA: ETEXT test code ought not to depend on the text window server
44 EDNGASR-4CFD6Q: Import and export of Unicode plain text doesn't conform to the Unicode standard
46 Release 144 made by Graham Asher on 27th September 1999
47 =======================================================
49 This release is intended for Text 6.0.
51 Removed ancient history from this file (release.txt). You can still look at it by getting older versions.
53 Fixed the following defects reported in Symbian Defect Tracking:
55 EDNGASR-4C2EHD: ETEXT should build for WINC platform
56 EDNGASR-4C2EE5: CParaFormat::CopyL uses the heap unnecessarily.
57 EDNGASR-4C2ECH: TBullet's character code ought to be initialised to a bullet
59 While fixing the problem with CParaFormat::CopyL I was able to tidy up the construction and freeing of heap-based attributes: tabs, bullets and borders. I also removed or corrected many redundant and misleading comments.
62 Release 105 made by Graham Asher on 3rd March 1999
63 ==================================================
65 This version is intended for ER5u.
67 Removed Standard Unicode Compression Scheme code. This is now in STORE 061. Changed txtetext.cpp to use the STORE version. Made ETEXT dependent on STORE 061.
69 Release 104 made by Lane Roberts on 28th January 1999
70 =====================================================
72 - Changed copyright messages to refer to Symbian.
73 - Upgraded MNT VALID to use EVALID.
74 - Binaries (.dll, .lib & .map) validate against 103.

87 EDN724804: CRichText::RemoveSpecificParaFormatL fails in debug mode if aLength is zero
88 EDN342775: mnt file problems (gets pdb files for release versions & getrel doesn't work)
90 Release 101 made by Graham Asher on 11th January 1999

93 Fixed the following bugs (see 'ER5 defects'):
95 EDN642121: Panic when deleting an unused, user-defined style
96 EDN700414: CBase 21 panic, Word (ETEXT internalising a corrupt file)
97 EDN815855: Corrupt file
98 EDN211326: CStyleList::Remove fails to nullify iStyleForNextPara and iBasedOn pointers
99 EDN458446: Category() is not used and should be removed
100 EDN533608: Export as text doesn't output a BOM marker
102 Release 100 made by Graham Asher on 30th November 1998
103 ======================================================
105 Two important bug fixes (see the 'ER5 defects' database on Notes)
107 ETEXT appears to store text on the clipboard differently to older roms
108 Word panic USER-CBase 21 importing text files
110 Release 099 made by David Batchelor on 12th November 1998
111 =========================================================
113 * Backwards compatible with 098
114 * WINS built with VC5
115 * Now dependent on BRDCST and FEPBASE
117 - Support for front-end-processor inline editing added in CEditableText. This
118 consists of 6 new exported functions in that class:
119 ~CEditableText // calls CancelFepInlineEdit
120 StartFepInlineEditL // cannot be called more than once without an intervening CommitFepInlineEditL or CancelFepInlineEdit
121 UpdateFepInlineTextL // can only be called once StartFepInlineEditL has been called
122 CommitFepInlineEditL // can only be called once StartFepInlineEditL has been called
123 CancelFepInlineEdit // can be called regardless of whether StartFepInlineEditL has been called
124 OverrideFormatOfInlineTextIfApplicable // (protected) to be called by MLayDoc-deriving classes at the end of their GetChars implementations
125 Unfortunately, ETEXT clients won't call the new destructor without
126 rebuilding :-(. Not much can be done about that. It shouldn't be very
127 problematic if it's not called though. (In fact it should never need to
128 be called if front-end processors do what their supposed to.)
130 - In order to add new member data to CEditableText in a binary-compatible
131 way, I had to do a bit of awkward coding using thread-local storage. This
132 is in TXTFEP.H and TXTFEP.CPP.
134 - Added a number of bug-fixes as advised by Graham Asher and Andrew Thoelke
135 (defect-numbers are from the "EPOC Software Defects" database): SW1-267,
136 SW1-316, SW1-323 and SW1-347.
138 - Added a cast at line 296 of TXTPLAIN.CPP to prevent a compiler warning.
140 - Fixed a bug where "mnt gete32" and "mnt getf32" were both getting WINC
141 releasables without the necessary directories having been created in the
142 epoc32 directory tree. This was causing all the WINC stuff to overwrite the
143 contents of \epoc32\release\wins\udeb :-(.
145 - Rearranged "mnt getbld" to a more standard order, and passed the version
146 number on to "getsrc". Thus doing a "pgetbld" on versions before the tip
147 revision should now work.
149 - Commented out the initial "ebld cleantest" call inside "ebld testall".
151 - "ebld makeworkdir" now creates \epoc32\include before calling makmake's
152 "makework" to prevent makmake errors.
154 - No changes were made to the test-code other than getting it to build
155 without errors/warnings (well, very nearly without warnings). In order to
156 get over the problem of the name clashes of EGray4 etc, it is necessary to
157 hack the values of TVideoMode in \epoc32\include\e32twin.h to something
158 else (e.g. add an initial '_'). (Test-code for the front-end-processor
159 inline editing stuff is planned to be added at a later date.) All the
160 WINS DEB and WINS REL test-code completes. However, a fair bit of
161 WINS UDEB fails, and I haven't got time to look into this for this release.
162 No MARM test-code was run (again, to speed up the release).
165 Release 097 made by Graham Asher on 7th September 1998
166 ======================================================
168 The main change, and the reason for this release, is to compress externalized text in the Unicode
169 build to allay the fears of licensees about the size of stored text. The compression method is
170 the Standard Compression Scheme for Unicode, described in the Unicode Consortium's web site
171 at http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr6.html. It is relatively easy to implement, fast,
172 and compresses even very short pieces of text significantly. Text mainly in small alphabetic scripts
173 (Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic, Devanagari, Thai, etc.) is compressed to about half its
174 original size, while pure Chinese text, which is probably the most difficult case, is expanded by
175 the single byte required to switch to plain uncompressed Unicode.
177 I have made some other small changes, mainly to allow the ARM version to buld cleanly.
179 Major changes in detail:
181 Added UNICOMP.CPP and UNICODE.H to the ETEXT source files; these implement Unicode
182 compression. All their code is #ifdef'd out in the narrow build.
184 Added TXTPLAIN.CPP and TXTPLAIN.H to the ETEXT source files; they replace TXTTRAN.CPP and TXTTRAN.H,
185 which is no longer exported (it was exported erroneously).
187 TXTETEXT.CPP: changed CPlainText::InternalizePlainTextL(RReadStream& aStream),
188 CPlainText::InternalizePlainTextL(RReadStream& aStream,TInt aLength),
189 and CPlainText::PasteFromStreamL(RReadStream& aStream,TInt aPos) to expand Unicode text according
190 to the compression scheme;
191 changed CPlainText::ExternalizePlainTextL(RWriteStream& aStream) const,
192 CPlainText::ExternalizePlainTextNoLengthCountL(RWriteStream& aStream) const,
193 and CPlainText::CopyToStreamL(RWriteStream& aStream,TInt aPos,TInt aLength) const
194 to compress Unicode text according to the compression scheme.
196 Added new exported functions, CPlainText::ImportTextL and CPlainText::ExportTextL, to import and export text in
197 CR-LF-delimited form. The existing functions work only with files; the new functions work with arbitrary streams.
199 TXTETEXT.H: added declarations for CPlainText::ImportTextL and CPlainText::ExportTextL.
201 Added a missing DEF file entry to the WINS debug builds: CRichTextStoreMap<CParagraphStyle>::__DbgTestInvariant.
203 ------------------------------------------------------
205 Release 096 - 27/8/98
207 Re-released with changes to mnt.cmd file
211 Added support for copying / pasting of style information
