Changelogs

we use Semantic Versioning

7.0.0

• Not use tink_syntaxhub to reduce compile time ~3 times (in our large project, compile time is reduced from 40s to 10s)

• revert syntax as in version 5.x:

regex replace from: @:tinyui\((['"][^)]+) to: @:build(TinyUI.build($1)

• rename & change TinyUI.saveCodeTo to TinyUI.init for better meaning.

• use -D tinyui-use-gen-code flag instead of argument useGeneratedCode of TinyUI.saveCodeTo method see document of TinyUI.init for more detail.

6.0.1

• better error logging

6.0.0

• break change: @:build(TinyUI.build(<xml-file>)) must be changed to: @:tinyui(<xml-file>)

  migration guide: regex replace from: @:build\(TinyUI\.build\(([^\)]+)\) to @:tinyui($1

• feature: define a class by ONLY the xml file. see file example/ui-src/com/sandinh/XmlOnlyView.xml

• fix error when switch configs for normal build or bypass TinyUI.build & using the generated code.

• change syntax for declaring local variable & instance variable: 5.x: var="<local-var>" and var.field="<instance-var>" 6.x: var.local="<local-var>" and var="<instance-var>"

  This change is because we found (in our real project) that instance variables are appeared more frequently.

  migrate guide: regex replace from (note the prefixed space) var=(['"]) to var.local=$1

  and then: var\.field=(['"]) to var=$1

  and then replace var.local attribute of <in mode nodes back to var by searching: <in ([^>]*)var\.local= then replace to <in $1var=

5.0.1

• now you can switch configs for normal build or bypass TinyUI.build & using the generated code.

• warning if tinyui can not found property/ method/ extension method when parsing xml

5.0.0

we break change again :( This time, I think the syntax for declaring ui in xml in tinyui is stable (not be changed again :d)

See example 18-all.xml for the new syntax (more consistent, less verbose)

4.0.1

• fixes error when setting nested variable in view

4.0.0

• (breaking change) init default uiMode var to -1 and declare the inline static vars UI_$modeName start at 0 instead of 1

• feature: order of attributes of a node is now preserved when translating to code.

  see 02-field-field-by-xml-attr.xml

• (breaking change) remove old syntax for declaring local/ instance variables:

  • migrate:

    var.foo="value" or var.foo:Type="value"

    To:

    <Type var="foo" new="value" />

    ex: <Int var="foo" new="1+2" />

    The new syntax also permit us to write:

    <TextFormat var="myFmt" bold="true" />

    or declare instance var:

    <TextFormat var="this.myFmt" bold="true" />

  • migrate:

    <TextField var="txt" />

    To:

    <ui-TextField var="this.txt" />

    And:

    <TextField var="#txt" />

    To:

    <ui-TextField var="txt" />

  • see 07-initUI-local-var.xml

• feature (also breaking change):

  view item nodes now must be declared with name <ui-Type> instead of just <Type> as previous.

  This permit us to declare nested items right in xml.

  note: this feature should be used for simple nested view only.

  For complex nested view, the recommend way is declare as a separated view class.

  see 12-nested-items.xml

• break change in method calling syntax:

  migrate:

  <.. this.fnName="args" />

  To:

  <.. fnName="args" />

  Tinyui will check if attribute name is a var field then gen code .name=value else .name(value)

  see 09-call-method.xml

• modes syntax:

  <mode.NAME> must be migrate to <mode-NAME>

  in each mode node:

  <varName ..> must be migrate to <in.varName ..>

• new feature: support styling. see 17-styles.xml

3.2.0

• support view modes (view states)

3.1.0

• add some example: using extension method & tooltip
• add convenient class com.sandinh.ui.BitmapTools

3.0.1

3.0.0

• break changes for better meaning and less verbose: Change function calling syntax from: <function fnName="args">, <function.fnName args> to: <this. fnName="args">, <this.fnName args>

• Now function can also be call by this.fnName attribute (instead of child node).

• migration: replace in xml file: <function to <this. (note the space) <function. to <this.

• ability to introduce a local variable name for view items:

<UI>
    <Bitmap var="myClassField" />
    <Bitmap var="#localVar" />
</UI>

As always, see the generated code for detail.

• add layout example using advanced-layout
