Box 0.3.0
AVAILABLE FILES
For this release we just provide one tarball (we do not distribute the Windows version):
- box-0.3.0.tar.gz contains the sources which can be compiled easily on Linux (or Mac OS X, Unix) and less easily (through MinGW-MSYS) on Windows. Instructions on how to compile Box can be found in the file README under the main folder and on the webpages.
CHANGES WITH RESPECT TO THE PREVIOUS VERSION
This releases brings a reworked graphic library (largely rewritten in Box, rather than in C) and a new documentation system (Dox):
- The Box graphics library was rewritten in Box itself. The library was re-engineered and is now much more clean and powerful. The old interface is still supported, but is now obsolete. Note that the new interface reproduces and offers to the user the features of the old interface, deriving high level functionality from lower level functionality. Example: Poly is expressed in terms of paths (Path) and command streams (CmdStream).
- Added Dox, a documentation system for Box (which is now part of Boxer). The core library and the Box graphics library have been documented with this. Boxer has now a documentation browser to browse Dox documentation "on-line".
- Fixing bugs: the most important is the copy of complex objects.
- Search in the current source directory when including another source.
