2004-Mar-17 -- First Full Release of Suite/P Toolkit
This is the first full release of the Suite/P Toolkit for Java.Some classes and interfaces were added.
Some classes and interfaces had name changes from the preliminary release. Many method names were also changed. Some suite-names and interfaces were coalesced. Refer to the API docs and/or the source to see all the current classes, interfaces, and method names.
Documentation has been added, along with examples and tests.
The Mac OS X implementation was refactored somewhat. In addition, signal-handling code was added to call back into the JVM, in order to receive signals in Java programs.
The following are hilites of the changes to the prerelease API. It does not cover all changes, nor does it cover all additions.
- Suite now represents the principal class, not a specific implementation. Implementations are now represented by the Suitelet interface.
- Signaller now contains only signal-sending features.
- SignalReceiver provides a way to receive signals, and to manage their reception, ignoring, and/or customary handling.
- FIXED: The signal-sending method was passing the wrong args to the native method, so signals were not being sent. This bug was fixed. The name of the method also changed.
