Is nicish though.....

Well micko we have 2 days until WhoDo does the final, so lets test this puppy out and then we'll leave it up to WhoDo to make his call, looks like a keeper to me, When joe makes something usually its really stable. When I tried compiling Patriots version yesterday, I had a few missing dependencies when I compiled Joe's version today it went perfect, and needed nothing. I just wanted to hack in 24x24 icons, but I haven't figured that one out yet. Soon so very soon, lol

PM Joe... heś a member here now!

I emailed him last week and he responded back but I couldn't figure out what he said. lol I'm still trying to get it working. Man I multitask a lot, I must have like 6 things on the go right now.

Uh der...ummm..... had head in sand again!

sesame street's big bird......

And said whodo should TRY not INCLUDE yet.....

Tell you the truth trio and micko I like this version a lot:) Hope it runs smooth, would be nice to have it included. But we need to test it a lot, I'll use if for now on, until the final, and report any errors if any. Then its WhoDo's call.

ya I would rather wait another month and have rc25 lol
the longer we spend on this release the better/stable it will get.
If I had 3 days I could shoot in the latest Seamonkey so we don't get that update splash screen. lol

There was a complain about the flash in rc4. To play the tmp-file in gxine, simply drag it from rox to the gxine icon on desktop.

I just want to state that for the first time EVER, I am able (with Puppy 4.2 rc4) to watch tv from the norwegian television NRK.

Thanks

That cool, I also enjoy watching Canadian News and hockey on the net also. Don't hear much about back home in Australia.

The "insert symbol" or <Ctrl>+<M> command puffs away Abiword here too.

Then tried typing in AbiWord with the Times font (RC4 with pfix=ram)... Surprise, no-go with this font, as well as Standard Symbols, Lucida Typewriter, Helvetica, Fixed, Dingbats and Courier! Always worked with all previous Abiword versions. Not a pleasant show, does that happen only to me?

, does that happen only to me?

I'm working on it

Hmmm ...

Finally, Joe has got wind of us !



I've taken a peek at joe's svn sources. I'm pleased to see that Joe patched-in most of my codes/changes. It's an acknowledgement of sorts ... as I'm pretty lame with C ...

He has cleaned up the code a bit too ... and made life easier for me ...

ttuuxxx wrote: I wish they would hack in hackedbox's windows decoractions, they had a more 3d look and were animated somewhat, still without images, just using code, but it did give a better feel to the _-x buttons.

Yep, the window border buttons were mine (it is the standard built-in in JWM enhanced since alpha-1) ...

I'd like to have full bitmap support for the window buttons too ... well, time's a luxury for me now ... but replaceable bitmasks is better than none. Joe has the codes implemented but not in-use though.

The so-called missing dependencies is due to the configure script. This no longer will be an issue once I patch it with Joe's ... (makes life easier haa ...)

@Everyone

I'd like to clarify one thing. Between JWM stable and JWM enhanced, there's no architectural differences. While I do have a high degree of confidence that the enhancement portion is stable, I'd like to see it reasonably bug-free.

Only the enhancement codes plus bugfixes makes 'em different. As is with any new codes, it needs some time to mature so we can see if something breaks due to this. So, for me, it'll stay beta for quite a while ...

No, capoverde. This is a known bug in Pango which Abiword 2.6.6 uses (I guess more extensively than the previous version). Even Debian have reported the fault, first to Abiword then to the Pango team.

so far I've compiled
pango-1.18.2
pango-1.18.3
pango-1.18.4
with all the same effect
then I tried the latest version pango-1.24.0 and that had compiling errors
next i'm trying pango-1.22.4, might as well keep trying since I'll have to reboot clean/erase my pupsave again to keep the compiler clean.

It seems that only some of the AbiWord fonts have problems, TrueType fonts from Win's directory work right (tho I haven't tried all 569 in there).
Then for a quick fix it would suffice to substitute some of the royalty-free TTFs to the buggy fonts in Abiword's set -- not elegant but effective, just an idea.

Build 445 is out.

coolpup found the fix for Abiword crashing, Man well at least its fixed, I must of compiled 500MB worth of stuff trying to fix it, and Coolpup did it with a 126kb pet:)
excellent job, well thats one down and 2 maybe 3 to go.
