Fixed ordering of Unicode wowels. [ku+A] gives the correct Unicode
now, e.g.
EWTS->TMW looks better for some wacky wowels like, I'm guessing here, [ku+A].
EWTS->TMW should now give errors any time the full input isn't used.
Previously, wacky wowels like [kai+-i] would lead to some droppage.
EWTS->TMW->Unicode testing is now in effect. This found a ton of
EWTS->TMW bugs, most or all of which are fixed now.
TMW->Unicode is improved/fixed for {
\u5350,\u534D,\u0F88+k,\u0F88+kh,U }. (Why U? "\u0f75" is
discouraged in favor of "\u0f71\u0f74".)
NOTE: TMW_RTF_TO_THDL_WYLIETest is still disabled for the nightly
builds' sake, but I ran it in my sandbox and it passed.
table exactly and I fear that it makes the ACIP->Tibetan converter code
a lot uglier. The TODO(DLC)[EWTS->Tibetan] comments littered throughout
are part of the ugliness; they point to the ugliness. If each were addressed,
cleanliness could perhaps be achieved.
I've largely forgotten exactly what this change does, but it attempts to
improve EWTS->Tibetan conversion. The lexer is probably really, really
primitive. I concentrate here on converting a single tsheg bar rather than
a whole document.
Eclipse was used during part of my journey here and some imports were
reorganized merely because I could. :)
(Eclipse was needed when the usual ant build failed to run a new test
EWTSTest. And I wanted its debugger.)
Next steps: end-to-end EWTS tests should bring many problems to light. Fix
those. Triage all the TODO comments.
I don't know that I'll ever really trust the implementation. The tests are
valuable, though. A clean implementation of EWTS->Tibetan in Jython
might hold enough interest for me; I'd like to learn Python.
warnings in ACIP->Tibetan conversion much more configurable. You can
now choose from short or long error messages, for one thing. You can change
the severity of almost all warnings. Each error and warning has an error code.
Errors and warnings are better tested.
The converter GUI has a new checkbox for short messages; the converter
CLI has a new mandatory option for short messages.
I also fixed a bug whereby certain errors were not being appended to the
'errors' StringBuffer.
(which I found on suigeneris.org, not apache.org) in order to bulletproof the
Tibetan Converter tests. They used to fail due to nondeterminism in the
Java RTF writer; they should no longer fail.
I've also changed it so that the Tibetan Converter tests run in headless
mode, which means that they'll run on the nightly builds server.
clean check'. Right now there are tests to ensure that typing certain
sequences of keys in the Extended Wylie keyboard gives the expected
Extended Wylie back when "Tools/Convert Tibetan to Wylie" is invoked.
The syntactically illegal d.wa now converts to Tibetan and then back
to d.wa (not dwa, as it did); likewise with the illegal g.wa. wa
doesn't take any prefixes, but I prefer clean end-to-end
behavior. (jeskd doesn't go end-to-end, though.)
Note that you cannot successfully run the DuffPane tests on a Linux
box unless your DISPLAY variable is set correctly. Thus, my nightly
builds will fail with an Error (as opposed to a Failure).
'Fonts' module inside the 'Jskad' module. I.e., you must now have the
tree like so:
Jskad/
source/
dist/
Fonts/
TibetanMachineWeb/
.
.
.
This is because the THDL tools now optionally (and by default) load
the TibetanMachineWeb fonts automatically.
Updated the build system so that the 'web-start-releases' and
'self-contained-dist' targets JAR up optional JARs to create
double-clickable, self-contained joy. Even the TMW fonts are in the
JARs now.
Changed the strings describing two Jskad keyboards so that "keyboard"
is no longer in the description. It's in the label next to the combo
box.
Jskad now saves preferences on exit or when the user selects a menu
item (that is there for debugging mainly) to ~/my_thdl_preferences.txt
on *nix or C:\my_thdl_preferences.txt on Win32. I don't know the
correct Mac location.
There's a new paradigm for telling org.thdl.util.ThdlOptions that a
user preference has been changed. If, for example, a combo box is
manipulated so that the ACIP keyboard is selected, then you must call
a certain method in ThdlOptions.
ACIP or 'ShSm' in Extended Wylie to see the new behavior.
We use a trie to store valid input sequences. In the future, we could use
the same trie as a replacement for the more inefficient HashSets we use to
store characters, vowels, and punctuation. For example, we'd use
'validInputSequences.put("K", new Pair("consonant", "k"))' when reading
in the ACIP keyboard's description of the first consonant of the Tibetan
alphabet in 'TibetanKeyboard.java'.
Note that the current trie implementation is only useful for 7- or 8-bit
transcription systems, and works best for tries with low average depth, which
describes a transcription system's trie very well. If you used arbitrary
Unicode in your keyboard, you'd need a different trie implementation.
Improved the optional keyboard input mode status messages.
Added a JUnit test for the new Trie that fails at present since the Trie is
case-insensitive. Running JUnit tests is not something our build system
knows about at present, but Eclipse 2.0 makes it very easy.
Fixed a few compiler errors due to imports I'd forgotten.
DefaultStyledDocument, and another consisting entirely of static utility
methods for processing Tibetan text. Moved TibetanDocument.DuffData
into its own class.
I think this makes things a bit more transparent, and gets us a little closer to
making clean use of Swing.
string-valued preferences built atop java.util.Properties.
How it works: the jvm is asked first, and then the user's prefs file, if it exists,
then the system-wide prefs file, and then the built-in preferences. Finally, for
robustness, a default may be optionally hard-coded in the source.
I made several things configurable, too:
the default Tibetan keyboard
the default font sizes and faces
whether you want developer-only features enabled
Savant's file extension (.savant)
etc.
The only known problems are the following:
The default location for the user's preferences file is windows-specific,
arbitrary, and not in the user documentation. Likewise for the location of the
system-wide preferences file. You can change them using 'java -D', though.
There is no "Save preferences" option yet, and closing the program does
not save preferences either.
Added great flexibility to the code that creates the log file. It is property
driven at present, and the default behavior is the same as the old default
behavior, except that a message is printed to standard output telling the
user which log file is being used, and that they should include its contents
in bug reports.
You can log to the temporary directory, a directory of your choice, or (by
default) the current directory. Edward's related feature request can now
quickly be fulfilled.
Added a "Quit" option to Savant's File menu. Factored out the Close
option in doing so.
Exceptions in many action listeners are now handled by
org.thdl.util.ThdlActionListener or org.thdl.util.ThdlAbstractAction.
Many exceptions that we used to just log now optionally cause aborts.
This option is on by default for developers using 'ant savant-run'-style
targets, but it is off for users.
An erroneous CLASSPATH now causes a useful error message in almost
all situations.
Fixed some typos and bad links in Javadoc comments.
Added a simple assertion facility, but the overhead is suffered even in
release builds.
Factored out the code that sets up log files like savant.log and jskad.log.
