One question, from "Additional Notes" in RELEASE-NOTES:
TextArea is still not completely functional ?
Correct. Finishing this component is on the list for 1.4.
And the WTKX Translator and Compiler are still present ?
Correct, but they are also incomplete/non-functional.
NOTE Pivot uses the StAX API to load and process WTKX source files.
Like many
APIs in the JDK, StAX uses a service discovery mechanism to locate
and
But why not also write that now we use the version bundled in the Java
6 Runtime ?
We still use the StAX API - we just don't require the StAX JARs. The
problem described in this note is actually due to the fact that we are
now using the JDK version.
-- Note that the following pages (referenced my some links, like that
in tutorials index) doesn't exist:
Calendars
Menus
Table Views
Tree Views
File Browsing
Windows
The Clipboard
Drag and Drop
Drawing
Effects
Background Tasks
Web Queries
Data Binding
Localization
Scripting
while in the real Pivot site they exist (some are empty).
Yup. Improving/completing documentation is on the list for 1.3.1.
-- all ok, only it's still present the annoying ant warning on the
missing xbean.jar ...
-- in the ant install there is a warning:
[signjar] Warning:
[signjar] The signer certificate has expired.
should that certificate be renewed ?
It's not really necessary - it is a temporary cert, and it still
works. Hopefully, when we graduate, we can get a real one.
I think documentation is an important point (also for the perception
of the quality of the project), so I'd like to vote -1 at the moment.
Again, documentation is on deck for 1.3.1. I don't see any reason to
hold up this release for that - especially since we're not going to be
looking to graduate until post-1.3.1.
And so also the JSON Viewer could be fixed for the final 1.3 release.
I'm not aware of any bugs with JSON Viewer - if you have found one,
please enter it in JIRA.
