Pan Update

BIG news, it finally links. Unfortuanately I can't get it to run right now, but that might be a problem on my system. I do know that its NOT feature complete, in fact it may not do anything at all yet. But it does compile & link. Get your snapshot and start your debugers.

rev 281

Pan Update

Here's your new snapshot. I've been really busy with this.

• really add new signal object.
• update dialogs/.
• added group_delete_articles.
• added serveral function to article.
• removed several function from article that were only used by articlelist.
• convert socket-pool to gobject.
• some api changes.
• minor change to build system.
  
• Everything currently compiles but doesn't link.

That list may look short but I had to touch nearly every file to get it this far. Now if I can just get it to link. I also need to bump up the sqlite version. So much to do.

rev. 278

Pan Update

I've made some more progress on Pan. Here is yet another snapshot.

• removed pan-object.
• removed pan-callback.
• convert newsrc to g_object.
• convert identity to g_object.
• turn queue into dummy object for its signals.
• lots of related bug fixes.

I still need to work on queue so that the rules & dialogs will compile. Bassically that's were I'm at - compile, see what breaks & try to fix it.

Pan Update

After thinking about the code for a while, I realized that there are some areas that could easily freeze Pans UI. While this would appear to be just a minor annoyance to some there is a bigger problem. The same event loop that handles the UI also handles the network code, so a frozen UI also means frozen network access. I don't know how much network data the OS will buffer before their is a problem so I've added some timer checks in a few places. The catch is that when handing off to the event loop like this I need to free any current sql statments so they won't interfere with any that might be executed by other fuctions. Anyway here is a new snapshot that adds a few such fixes.

• delayed article updating is now an idle function that updates at most 100 articles at a time.
• added timer check to group_load_all_articles.
• changed article_load_articles to prevent sql problems.
• minor change to decode_data.

rev. 217

Yet another small snapshot update.

• small change to decode for increased flexibility.
• small change to task-save realted to decode.
