JSON Toolbar / Notebookbar changes (Kendy)

  • No updates since last week

Dynamic changes of Toolbar type (Gabriel)

  • fixed the issues – and re-based a few minnutes ago, waiting for the build to finish

    • hope that there are no other issues.

  • Allows a setting outside the frame: can change the UI without re-loading the doc.

    • Had a comment on offsets (Szymon)

      • already fixed.

Bind Mounting / Hard-linking (Gabriel)

  • Looking into it in the next days – back on COOL for a few days

  • Positioning bits merged

  • Scroll-bar is being converted to Typescript.

  • How much more needs doing ? (Michael)

    • canvas / ruler rendering in writer (Gokay)

      • and a couple of other bits.

    • Selections are rendered to the canvas

    • Still lots to do (Kendy)

      • not under a month yet

      • cursors are not rendered on canvas yet.

        • Need to consider how we do blinking.

      • some issues on mobile phones.

        • still mostly working nicely there

      • But if we decide to ship it right-away, more or less possible

        • with some polishing of the bits.

  • Dennis soon pushing a unit-test framework for typescript code (Kendy)

    • real unit-testing in the JS part.

    • Extremely exciting

    • Using nodejs – run – can assert things directly on the classes

      • polygons / points / boundaries – can unit test the proper way

  • finding time to help with selections/cursor pixels (Pedro)

  • No update.

Load testing (Michael)

Async Saving (Kendy)

  • preparation will land shortly.

    • pull requests have been updated

  • then – we connect the dots to save asynchronously

Release schedule bits

  • new CODE releases to test some of the new features we have queued

    • FontWork, incremental dialog / JSON update work soon → 6.4.6 ~ready

    • Then other releases to test async save – in a few weeks.

  • COOL will de-couple from that for a bit.

Notebookbar scrolling issue #1395 (Pedro)

  • scrolling not working after change in CSS for better alignment

  • issue with the notebookbar container – now called table-cell, not table

  • Pedro has fixed it – and improved alignment a bit.
