Title: Aurora RC1
Post by: Ionic Wind Support Team on January 29, 2007, 11:18:11 AM
The Aurora compiler has just been updated to Beta 1 Rev 4 (RC1).  To get the update redownload from the link provided when purchasing and reinstall the compiler.

Changes/Additions
-------------------------
- You can now create a new directory when browsing for a new project path.
- A heap corruption bug was fixed.
- A uncode string bug was fixed.
- The debug context display now shows global and local variables.
- CTreeView::SetItemImage method added.
- CTreeView::SetImageList method added.
- dsound.lib import file added to installation for future use
- A few documentation corrections.
- More example programs.

Notes on this release:
-----------------------------
We are calling this version RC1, even though it is versioned as Beta 1 Rev 4.  The parser is stable enough to be a release version and only needs a few more additions before being complete.  I am still converting docs from word to html format and should have a more rounded set in a few weeks.  So have a bit of patience ;)

The demo version has also been updated to this release.

Have fun,
Paul.

Word adds a lot of extra information in the html output, making the files huge.  So I have to go back and edit each one by hand.

Dear Paul!
You planned to write a Serial Library (moved from Alpha to Beta version).
Currently RS232 is the most commonly used communication way of PC <-> microcontrollers.
USB is the longterm winner, but RS232 simpler and cheeper, works on longer cable.
There is no controller family without hardware implementation of it.
Do you plan to realize it ? (May be you wrote but I missed it.)

Tidy, at http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy/ cleans up Wordish clutter. Saving as "Filtered" also helps somewhat. All this, of course, assuming that you've got Help-building tools that don't rely on Word's clutter in the first place. I think you've done a spectacular job of the documentation, already!

Is the source code up-to-date?

As far as I know it is.  I'll check later to be sure.  Paul.

I couldn't find CTreeview::SetItemImage.




For those who haven't yet, you should consider purchasing the Aurora source code. I refer to it often. It would take Paul forever to include every possible API call in Aurora, even if he thought it was a good idea. By examining the source code you can see how similar calls are made, make your own to add a function, and include it with your class.

Paul, could you add "declare import, *name()" in future versions ?
The glew32.dll exports a lot of function pointers, we cannot access it easilly:declare *glewBlendEquationEXT(int x);
declare import, __glewBlendEquationEXT(int x);
glewBlendEquationEXT = *(int)&__glewBlendEquationEXT; // load the function pointer

glewBlendEquationEXT( GL_FUNC_SUBTRACT_EXT );
