Version 1.8, 11 August 2003
- MoreIsBetter now requires CodeWarrior Pro 8.3 or Project Builder 2.1 (Dec 2002 developer tools). Mach-O builds require the interfaces and libraries from Mac OS X 10.2.
- MoreIsBetter, as a whole, is no longer dependent on the Carbon framework; rather individual modules are dependent on specific umbrella frameworks. This allows MIB modules to choose their level of dependency (for example, MoreSCF does not want to depend on Carbon because then it can't be used by non-GUI programs). MIB is, however, dependent on CoreServices as its minimum level of service.
- A serious rework of "MoreSetup.h" to rationalise the compiler directives, the Mach-O support, the assert definitions, and so on.
- More file extension rationalisation.
- Various code cleanups.
nil replaced with NULL
OSErr replaced with OSStatus
MoreAssertQ replaced by standard assert
MoreAssert is now MoreAssertPCG (and deprecated)
- Implementation files now include their headers first, which flushes out any missing dependencies in the headers.
- Eliminated bogus uses of pragma import and export.
- Eliminated arithmetic conversion warnings.
- MoreAppleEvents: A new sub-module, MoreAEDataModel. Various other updates. See the checkin comments for more details.
- MoreDebugging: A new sub-module, MoreBackTrace.
- MoreCarbonEvents: A new module with Carbon event utilities.
- MoreCFQ: A new module with Core Foundation utilities.
- MoreControls: Added CFString accessors for text controls and key/value filters for text controls.
- MoreDevices: In the InterruptSafeDebug sub-module, require Colour QuickDraw by default, which makes linking easier in weird environments.
- MoreDialogs: Added
StandardAlertCFStringCompat.
- MoreErrors: This module now explicitly documents the error ranges used by MIB modules.
- MoreOSL: Fixed bug 3263387 by initialising
err in ClassAccessorByName.
- MoreOSUtils: Moved low-level Gestalt tests here from MoreToolbox.
- MoreNetworkSetup: By default MoreNetworkSetup no longer uses Network Setup, but instead accesses the preference files directly. This makes things go a lot faster and, given that traditional Mac OS is end-of-life, is not a compatibility concern.
- MoreSCF: A new module System Configuration framework utilities, which forms the basis of the MoreSCF sample.
- MoreSecurity: A new module with security utilities, including the basis of MoreAuthSample.
- MoreToolbox: Added some new Gestalt tests, then moved them all to MoreOSUtils.
- MoreUNIX: A new module with various Posix-level utilities.
Version 1.7, 14 January 2003
- Rationalised the file extensions for CVS support and eliminated files that are no longer necessary because we no longer build 68K.
- All files now how the standard DTS header and CVS change history.
- MoreAppleEvents:
Various minor updates. See the checkin comments for more
details.
- MoreOSUtils: Added routines to get the user and machine name on all Carbon platforms (
MoreCSCopyUserName and MoreCSCopyMachineName).
Version 1.5, 24 September 2001
- MoreIsBetter now requires CodeWarrior Pro 7 and
Universal Interfaces 3.4 or higher, or the Project
Builder from Mac OS X 10.1.
- Numerous changes to build Mach-O under both
CodeWarrior Pro 7 and Project Builder without FlatCarbon
headers
- The core MoreIsBetter code now compiles with the C++
activated. This required minor changes to many
files.
- Eliminated the 68K targets from all the projects
because CodeWarrior Pro 7 no longer supports building 68K
code. Most of MoreIsBetter will continue to compile for
68K, but I no longer have a way to test it.
- Moved the Pascal interfaces to a separate folder
because the Project Builder compiler tries to interpret
"MoreSetup.p" as a pre-compiled header for "MoreSetup.h"
[2631604].
- MoreAppleEvents:
Various minor updates. See the checkin comments for more
details.
- MoreCDs: A new module with
various traditional Mac OS CD-ROM utility routines.
- MoreCodeFragments:
In MoreCFMLateImport I fixed some bugs, added support for
some previously unsupported relocation instructions,
changed the API to eliminate the need for a dummy
exported symbol, and integrated support for packed data
sections. Add the source to my CallMachOFramework sample
to the MIB source tree.
- MoreMultiprocessing:
In MoreMPLog I removed
MPLogPrintfSlow
because it was having problems with Mac OS 9.1.
- MoreOpenTransport:
Fixed a nasty synchronisation bug inside OTMP. Also made
the sample code's listen/accept loop more reliable.
Version 1.4, 15 February 2001
- MoreIsBetter now requires Universal Interfaces 3.4 or
higher. I built with the latest pre-release at the time
of writing, 3.4b4.
- All relevant components of MoreIsBetter now compile
under Project Builder. All modules (except those, like
MoreNetworkSetup, which can't be Carbonized) now compile
under Project Builder. A master Project Builder project,
MoreIsBetterLib.pbproj, is included with the
distribution. This project file is for Mac OS X 1.0; your
mileage may vary on early and later releases.
- Made many minor changes to many modules to get them
to build without warnings under Project Builder. These
changes are mostly to eliminate warnings, but some
modules required more complex surgery (for example,
MoreTextUtils and MoreMPLog).
- MoreAppleEvents:
MoreAECreateAppleEventTargetID is no longer
available under Carbon because UI 3.4 has made data
structures on which it depends not part of Carbon.
- MoreCodeFragments:
MoreCFMLateImport now complains if you try to include it
in a Mach-O build. Removed redundant assignment in
CFMLateImportCore.
- MoreDialogs: Added a
whole bunch of dialog utilities, largely derived from
similar utility routines that I use in my Freeware
projects.
- MoreErrors: New module
with error handling utilities.
- MoreEvents: New module
with Event Manager utilities.
- MoreInterfaceLib:
Added support for some Mac OS 8.5 toolbox routines.
- MoreLists: A new module
with List Manager utilities.
- MoreMenus: Module now
has a C file, which implements
MoreSetMenuItemEnable.
- MoreMultiprocessing:
Extensive additions to "MoreMPLog.c" to support Project
Builder.
- MoreNetworkSetup:
Disabled some debugging code that was accidentally left
enabled in
NSHHaveMultipleBelowIPSupport
[2617463]. Support the ability to read and write
the "launch status application" Remote Access
preference.
- MoreOpenTransport:
By popular request, added
OTMPGetMessage and
OTMPPutMessage routines to OTMP. The fix for
the Carbon MP incompatibility described in the OTMP
module is in CarbonLib 1.2.5, not CarbonLib 1.3 as
previously described [2619462]. Also fixed a bug
in OTMPSndUData.
- MoreQuickDraw:
HaveColorQuickDraw now
auto-initialises.Added GetPortVisibleRegion and
MoreSetMagicHiliteMode.
- MoreTextUtils: Major
rework of
GetNewStringList to get it to
build under Project Builder. Deprecated
GetPascalStringFromLongDouble because long
double is a very weird data type.
Version 1.3, 24 November 2000
- Updated documentation to explicitly described which
modules support which environments (68K, PowerPC,
Carbon). Also updated source files to explicitly document
(and enforce by #error) the environments in which they
build.
- Documentation is now managed in version control
system.
- Updated everything to CodeWarrior Pro 6.
- MoreAppearance: The
various "have this feature" routines now auto-initialise
so that other MIB modules can use them without calling
the initialisation routine.
- MoreAppleEvents:
Lots of new work by George Warner.
- MoreCodeFragments:
Updated CFMLateImport to support importing from
CFBundles, and hence from Mac OS X frameworks.
- MoreControls: Updated
GetControlDefProcResID to at least work in
Carbon builds on Mac OS 9.
- MoreDevices: Updated
InterruptSafeDebug to build for Carbon. Fixed a missed
MemError bug in TradDriverLoaderLib.
- MoreDialogs: Made
SetDialogItemString work with embedding
turned on.
- MoreInterfaceLib:
Added new Time Manager interfaces.
- MoreMemory: Added
MoreBlockCompare.
- MoreMultiprocessing:
New module.
- MoreNavigation: New
module.
- MoreOpenAndSave:
Some tricky work to Carbonise.
- MoreOpenTransport:
New module. OTMP allows synchronous blocking access to
networking from preemptive (MP) tasks. OTClassicContext
lets you call OT "InContext" routines from
InterfaceLib-based applications. MoreAutoPush is a
convenience API for the STREAMS autopush facility.
- MoreOSL: New module. A C
library for implementing scripting in your
application.
- MorePreferences: A
number of minor updates.
- MoreProcesses: A
number of minor updates. Also added the MoreScheduledExec
module, which lets you quit your application and schedule
a time for it to be relaunched.
- MoreQuickDraw: Added
some Carbon-style accessors for non-Carbon builds.
- MoreTextUtils: Added
more
'STR#' support. Added
MoreReplaceText and
MoreStrLen.
- MoreNetworkSetup:
Lots of minor updates.
