| | 1 | = What is new in Tol-1.1.2 = |
| | 2 | |
| | 3 | * Tol is much more stable now than few months ago. We have resolved more than |
| | 4 | 100 bugs since the first version, but Tol is still an unstable |
| | 5 | product, for many reasons. One of them is related with the Documentation |
| | 6 | Project, we are still without manuals, tutorials, technical |
| | 7 | reports... |
| | 8 | On the other side, Tol continues having some implementation problems with |
| | 9 | itsinternal modules, which are blocking all possibilities to release an |
| | 10 | stable product before their correction. |
| | 11 | Among the new features list for this version, we can emphasize: |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | * TIT: Tol Integrity Tests |
| | 14 | In the main directory yoo can see a new file called test-it.tol. Running |
| | 15 | this program you can start a global language consistency test across the |
| | 16 | directory tree. The program looks for "test" directories where we are |
| | 17 | adding individual tests to verify specific features of Tol. |
| | 18 | |
| | 19 | * The Evalutor |
| | 20 | It does not allow creating variables using an identifier allready used by |
| | 21 | other variable of a different type. |
| | 22 | A great number of corrections have been applied to the Evaluation Engine. |
| | 23 | |
| | 24 | * The Parser |
| | 25 | Improves its behavior with a better recognition of comments inside code, |
| | 26 | giving more complete information about the places where syntactical errors |
| | 27 | are.On the other side, the maximal identifier length has been limited to |
| | 28 | 255. |
| | 29 | |
| | 30 | * Random Number Generation |
| | 31 | Random and distributed number generator has been added, based on: |
| | 32 | * Cauchy (RandCaucy) |
| | 33 | * LogNormal (RandLogNormal) |
| | 34 | |
| | 35 | * Tcl_Eval implemented, as taken from the function description |
| | 36 | |
| | 37 | Set Tcl_Eval(Text script) |
| | 38 | |
| | 39 | Evaluate a Tcl script. The return value is a Set with two elements |
| | 40 | status : a Real indicating success (1) or fail (0) |
| | 41 | result : a Text with the evaluation result |
| | 42 | Example: |
| | 43 | |
| | 44 | Set tcl_res = Tcl_Eval("set tcl_platform(platform)"); |
| | 45 | If (tcl_res["status"], WriteLn("Running on platform |
| | 46 | "+tcl_res["result"]), WriteLn("Error in Tcl_Eval")) |
| | 47 | |
| | 48 | * Database access |
| | 49 | TOL DDBB API has been re-programmed to open up the possibility of using |
| | 50 | multiple native drivers. At the same time, ODBC and MySQL drivers have been |
| | 51 | developed. Of course, no changes have been made to the TOL DB API, and |
| | 52 | a big change: Dynamic libraries saves some memory if a driver is not used. |
| | 53 | |
| | 54 | * There are many little changes that we can't list here. Nevertheless we can |
| | 55 | give the URL of TOL Bug Report System (based on Bugzilla) to track all bugs |
| | 56 | which have been resolved: |
