2005-09-26  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* Some fixes/enhancements from the trunk version. Most
	  importantly generating accessor methods to get and set
	  public instance variables.

2005-02-17  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* Added a '--qt4' option to parse Qt 4 headers

2005-02-06  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* The KWin class was bracketed with '#ifdef Q_OS_UNIX.. #endif', and was being skipped
	  by kalyptus. Fixes a problem reported by Ian Monroe.

2004-10-02  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

 * Fixed problem where a call to super in java TQWidet.polish() caused a loop
 * DCOPArg and DCOPReply are ignored for java bindings generation

2004-09-10  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

 * Fixed Smoke library generation for KDE 3.1

2004-09-05  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

 * Removed forward declarations for classes embedded in method return types.
   For instance:
         virtual class View *createView ( TQWidget *parent, const char *name = 0 ) = 0;
         virtual TQPtrList<class View> views () const = 0;
 * Added kate as a KDE include header subdirectory


2004-09-05  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

 * Added kontact to the expected KDE header subdirectory names
 * Fixed a bug in the code generation for this method:

     virtual TQValueList<Kontact::Plugin*> pluginList() const = 0;

   It was being incorrectly treated as a pointer type, because it contained as asterisk.

2004-08-19  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

 * A namespace such as TDEIO:: can be spread over several header files, the source
   names are now kept in a property list so that all the includes can be generated.

2004-07-26  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

 * TQMap and TQPair template types such as 'TQMap<TQCString, DCOPRef>' with an 
   embedded comma, were not being correctly normalised. A space was left in 
   the smoke type.

2004-07-25  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

 * When the Smoke code for accessing an enum was generated, it was assuming
   that the enum was in the same source file as the class. This doesn't work
   for namespaces like TDEIO:: where enums can be spread over several source
   files.
 * The solution is to add a source file property to each enum, and when the
   accessor code for the enum is generated a suitable include can be added.
 * Fixes problem reported by Luca Perossa

2004-07-07  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* After discussion with Germain Garand, TQChars have been returned to 
	  the Smoke runtime as first class members.

2004-07-07  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* The TQChar class is now treated as a primitive type just like TQString.

2004-06-30  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* Added DCOPRef to the Smoke runtime. But the various template methods for send(), call() and callExt() 
	  need to be reimplemented in the scripting language.

2004-06-29  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* Java methods now generated for tqCompress and tqUncompress methods - Michal Ceresna
	  reported that the methods missing from the QtJava api.
	  
2004-06-25  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* Reinstated the KMultiTabBarTab and KMultiTabBarButton classes in the Smoke runtime
	* It makes more sense to fix the parser to handle arg types starting with
	'class '. They are now stripped off and ignored.

2004-06-24  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* Removed KMultiTabBarTab and KMultiTabBarButton from the Smoke runtime
	* Added an instance variable '_smokeObject' to generated C# Kimono classes

2004-06-09  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* New flags were added for Smoke methods - mf_internal and mf_copyctor.
	  This allows copy constructors which are only used internally by the ruby
	  or perl runtime, to be excluded from the standard api.

2004-06-07  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* Added patch from Michal Ceresna to fix code generation for TQImage.bits() and
	  TQImage.colorTable()
	* Fixed bug reported by Maik Schulz caused by unwanted KListViewItem copy constructor.
	  An 'enhancement' was added for KDE 3.2 - for any class which didn't have a copy 
	  constructor, but which could still be copied, a copy constructor was generated.
	  Unfortunately this had unforseen consequences, such as messing up KListView logic,
	  hence they're no longer generated.

2004-05-27  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* The methods TQPainter::pos() and TQFontInfo::font() are skipped for
	  Qt2 embedded as they don't link to the ARM version of Qt/E
	* Thanks to Fabien Renaud for testing QtJava/E on an ARM box

2004-05-25  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* Added the correct macro expansion for Q_OBJECT with Qt/E 2.3.x
	* kalyptus can now generate the SMOKE library for Qt Embedded

2004-05-22  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* More tweaks to the QtJava Embedded code generation.
	  The code now compiles without error, links and runs..
	* However, the Qt framebuffer emulator plasters the KDE desktop in
	  lurid green and doesn't seem to have a way of accepting mouse
	  input. How do you get mouse events into a named pipe that it reads?

2004-05-21  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* Added code generation for Qt/Embedded 2.3.4 with a '--qte' option to 
	  be used in conjunction with the '-fjni' option.
	* Example usage - this command will parse the Qt embedded headers in 
	  directory 'test', and generate the .java and .cpp files in the same dir:
	    $ kalyptus -fjni -dtest --globspace --qte test/*.h

2004-05-20  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* The java '-fjni' option now generates correct java code with Qt/E 2.3.4
	* KMainWindow.toolBar() and KMainWindow.menuBar() rename ktoolBar() and
	  kmenuBar(). This is because java doesn't have covariant return types
	  and the methods with the same names in TQMainWindow return a TQToolBar
	  and TQMenuBar, rather than their KDE equivalent subclasses.

2004-05-19  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* Namespaces were being omitted from the SMOKE runtime, and so methods
	  such as the ones in KStdAction were missing. They are now included and
	  appear to be ordinary classes containing static methods.
	    For example, in ruby:
		quit = KDE::StdAction.quit( self, SLOT("quit()"), actionCollection() )

2004-04-26  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* Now only 55 Qt C# warnings, too much use of the 'new' inheritance directive
	  though.

2004-04-26  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* Reduced the number of compiler warnings for C# Dispose() methods. Now down to
	  'only' 130 warnings for the Qt classes

2004-04-13  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* When a class includes equality operator overloading, an implementation of 
	  GetHashCode() is generated (along with Equals() too) to avoid compiler warnings.
	* If a method was originally inherited via C++ MI, but is now copied from the superclass
	  to the current class in C# instead, then it isn't labelled with a 'new' modifier

2004-04-12  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* Kimono C# code generation improvements
	    - Added the 'out' modifier for args which are references to mutable primitive types
	    - Improved doc comment to C# xml comment translation, with <remarks> tags bracketing 
	      the body of the comment
	    - Enum types are only given a 'E_' prefix if they clash with a C# method name after
	      the first character has been uppercased

2004-03-26  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* Removed quite a few compiler warnings from the C# code generated by -fkimono
	  - A lot of warnings about virtual methods not needing the 'new' keyword fixed
	  - If you define operator==, but not operator!= you get a warning. 
	    A smarter compiler might be able to work one out from the other?
	    But added a corresponding 'operator!=' always.
	  - If you define operator== or operator!=, you get a warning for not defining 
	    GetHashCode(). There must be some sort of logic in that, but not fixed yet.
	 
2004-03-25  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* Removed obsolete C and Objective-C code generation options

2004-03-19  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* 'KDE Integrates Mono'; added -fkimono option to generate C# bindings
	* It doens't use the Qt C bindings, like Qt# but the Smoke lib instead
	* To generate the code and review the api, edit tdebindings/smoke/kde/generate.pl.in
	  and change '-fsmoke' to '-fkimono'. Then configure tdebindings with the
	  '--with-smoke=kde' option. The sources will be generated in smoke/kde.
	* It uses custom real proxies as AOP style interceptors, one per instance
	  and a static interceptor per class.
	  - Every method call in the api is forwarded to SmokeInvocation.Invoke()
	    via the proxies, and is effectively a pointcut.
	  - In Invoke() the method call will be looked up dynamically from the Smoke runtime
	  - The arguments are marsalled from C# to C++ on the Smoke::Stack, and the method
	    invoked.
	* The KDE doc comments are converted to C# xml style tags (eg TDEApplication.cs)
	* Problems
	  - A small fix was need for RealProxies with Mono 0.30. DotGnu doesn't have
	    RealProxies/remoting yet.
	  - It should be possible to use ContextBoundObjects and custom ContextAttributes
	    as described here, but they aren't implemented in Mono yet.
		http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/03/03/ContextsinNET/
	  - In interfaces the 'ref' keyword can't be used
	  - Doesn't use event handlers as delegates like Qt#, they are just overriden
	    like normal virtual methods
	  - Many compiler warnings about 'new virtual' not being needed. Some work needed
	    to only add new to overriden ones.

2004-02-17  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* Aligned the forthcoming KDE 3.3 dynamic proxy/SMOKE library based java 
	  code generation with the current 3.2 JNI based ones (-fjava vs. -fjni).

2004-01-28  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* When two methods differed only in 'constness', it wasn't possible to
	  resolve which to call from ruby. For example:
		KProgress* progressBar();
		const KProgress* progressBar() const;
	  So only the const variant is generated in the Smoke runtime.

2004-01-05  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* When a java method needed to be renamed, because in the type signature 
	  only the return type differed in C++, when that isn't allowed in java,
	  the JNI function name was not using the new name.
	* Fixed error in JNI function names when the C++ method had an underscore.


2003-12-29  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* Fixed a problem with parsing one line namespace declarations
	* Added support for the QT_WORKSPACE_WINDOWMODE macro, to solve build problem
	* Added some more primitive type definitions such as TDEIO::filesize_t

2003-12-23  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* Added a '-fjni' option to generate code for the current KDE 3.2 JNI based java
	  bindings The '-fjava' option generates code for the forthcoming Dynamic
	  Proxy/Smoke library based java bindings in KDE 3.3.
	* The Qt and KDE bindings just checked in were generated by changing the kalyptus 
	  option '-fsmoke' to '-fjni' in tdebindings/smoke/kde/generate.pl.in. Then
	  configure tdebindings with '--enable-smoke=kde' option to generate the .cpp
	  and .java sources. The .h files are generated by using javah on the compiled
	  java .class files.

2003-11-29  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* Fixed parsing of casts inside enums in tdefileitem.h:
	      enum { Unknown = (mode_t) - 1 };
	  Hmm, not sure what that's up to anyway..
	* Added a special Source property to method nodes in TQGlobalSpace.
	  In java, this allows Qt friend methods to be grouped under the
	  Qt.java class, and KDE ones under KDE.java according to which 
	  source file they originated from.

2003-11-05  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* Fixed parsing default argument values cast to a numeric literal, eg:
	    mode_t mode = (mode_t)-1
	* Excluded a couple of structs from tdeparts/browserextension

2003-11-04  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* KDE MI has some diamond shaped cycles, such as for the children of
	  KXMLGUIClient. When the code for casts to all the parents of a class
	  was generated in the Smoke runtime, this meant there were some 
	  duplicate entries in the switch statement. Duplicates now removed.


2003-10-11  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* Avoid generating wrappers for private classes with 'Private',
	  'Impl' or 'Internal' in the name. Other unneeded classes also
	  dropped. 

2003-10-08  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* Added SmokeKDE namespace class code generation
	  - Fixed bug in kalyptus where it couldn't detect the end of a namespace
	  - resolveType() in kalyptusDataDict.pm now looks in parent namespace for symbols
	  - Namespace enclosed class code generation added to kalyptusCxxToSmoke.pm 

2003-09-16  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* Added various parser and code generation fixes so that a libsmokekde.so
	  can be generated from the tdelibs headers.

2003-08-30  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* Applied Germain Garand's patch to no longer rename operator methods 
	  in the TQGlobalSpace pseudo class

2003-08-21  Alexander Kellett  <[email protected]>

	* Added .kidl generation option (dcopidl replacement)
	* Handled of several new constructs in the parsing:
	*    k_dcop: / k_dcop_signals: / K_DCOP:
	* Use STDERR not STDOUT thus removing need for temporary file

2003-08-21  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* Added missing getClassLoader() call to Proxy constructor

2003-08-21  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* Rewritten java code generation for a Dynamic Proxy based SMOKE adaptor version of QtJava.
	* Based on David Faure's SMOKE generation code in the '-fsmoke' option.

2003-08-11  Richard Dale  <[email protected]>

	* Removed old SWIG style ruby generation option

2003-08-09  Alexander Kellett  <[email protected]>

	* Parse static friend operator methods and place into a pseudo class (for smoke)

2002-06-03  David Faure  <[email protected]>

	* The Smoke generation is in good shape. Removed old PerlPig and PerlQK
	modules.

2002-04-23  Richard Dale <[email protected]>

	* Added patch from David Faure to correctly handle nested struct
         or class names in perl .pig generation

2002-03-15  Richard Dale <[email protected]>
	* Added C# P/Invoke bindings generation option from Adam Treat
2002-02-10  Richard Dale <[email protected]>
	* Improved C destructor code generation
	* TQCanvasItemList mapped onto java.util.ArrayList
	* 'bool *' type converted to java 'boolean[]' type.
2002-02-03  Richard Dale <[email protected]>
 	
	* More fixes to .pig generation from Germain. Perl porting now 
         motoring 24*7...
2002-02-02  Richard Dale <[email protected]>
	* Various improvements to Perl .pig generation from Germain Garand
2002-01-31  Richard Dale <[email protected]>
	* Fixed bug in code generation for NULL default arguments
	* Added some new KDE 3 types
2002-01-26  Richard Dale <[email protected]>
	* Perl .pig generation improved
2002-01-25  Richard Dale <[email protected]>
	* Added '-fperl' option to autogenerate .pig (Perl Interface 
         Generator) files, suitable for generating Ashley Winters' PerlQt/KDEQt 
         bindings
2002-01-23  Richard Dale <[email protected]>
	* Made dispose() public, added isDisposed() after SWT.
2002-01-23  Richard Dale <[email protected]>
	* Added generation of dispose() methods, to allow large resources,
         such as pixmaps, to be freed before finalize() is called.
2002-01-20  Richard Dale <[email protected]>
	* Ruby bindings generation - initial checkin.
2002-01-04  Richard Dale <[email protected]>
	* Fixed bug in parsing decimal point in default argument values
2001-12-29  Richard Dale <[email protected]
	* JNI event handling methods are now generated.
	* Some additions for KDevelop types. 
	* Removed assumption that a class ending in '..Interface' should always 
         be a java interface.
2001-12-17  Richard Dale <[email protected]
	* Improved code generation for String f'ns with default arguments.
	* An implementation is no longer generated for classes which are
         just interfaces.
2001-12-03  Richard Dale <[email protected]
	* Added new KDE 3 data types
	* Improved code generation for classes defined within namespaces
