All right, VR3 is now displaying the docstrings and "help-for-command" is 
working.  It only works for RsT strings, but since that seems to be all 
that gets sent to it, I guess that's OK for now. 

I found one or two changes needed in other Leo code to fully accommodate 
VR3, and they will be in the pull request too.  I'm ready to do a little 
cleanup of the code, and then I'll send it up the line.

A simple solution to a recurring Qt problem

[Edward K. Ream]

I have finally discovered how to force Qt to update changed widgets 
immediately. Just call QApplication.processEvents(), that is, 
g.app.gui.qtApp.processEvents().

This is *way *better than queuing up an idle-time callback, which is pretty 
much guaranteed to cause screen flash. Btw, calling QWidget.update, etc. 
never seems to work.

I used this pattern first today in LeoQtBody.add_editor_command. I have 
just made similar changes to g.recursiveUNLSearch and 
QtIconBarClass.goto_command.

Hehe.  I meant, 6.2 will fix all bugs *in Leo* :-)

Actually, 6.2 would hardly be worth doing without the bug fixes, just minor
improvements to the beautify command, plus the new fstringify commands.
That's not enough.

It's good to see this excitement. It means we are moving away from details.

I wouldn't say "instant", exactly.  You have to put  the work in, you may 
have to do some rooting around and be receptive to following up links that 
may not seem too relevant, and you have to have put thought and effort into 
creating the notes and links in the first place.  And that comes from 
reading and thinking.

The rooting around can be fun as well as productive, though.

Zettelkasten = structured serendipity! A self-organizing thought factory! 
How to partner creatively with your own brain! An intelligent memory bank 
that digests what you feed it and provides instant, connected, 
pre-clustered, organized access to everything you've ever written!

Leo 6.2 will fix all bugs

[Edward K. Ream]

I have been dithering about what to put into Leo 6.2.  The new todo list is 
here 

.

Yesterday I fixed several Qt-related bugs. I'll continue fixing such 
fit-and-finish issues (including enhancements) first, while all the 
complications are fresh in my mind. I'll then turn my attention to #1437 
.

Several bug fixes will require significant testing. In the worst case, 
these fixes can be pushed to 6.3. I'll do that only as a last resort.

*Summary*

Fixing bugs and easy fit-and-finish enhancements comes first. This is the 
best way to polish Leo's legacy.

There is no reason to rush Leo 6.3, or any other release. Two releases per 
year is enough.

I don't remember.

The answer should be apparent in the vr plugin. See if you can discover it
for yourself. If you get stuck, I'll be glad to help.
