The work with Wigbi 1.0 proceeds

I am currently working with the Wigbi 1.0 release, which I wrote about earlier. I have now finished writing new versions for the following classes:

• CacheHandler
• IniReader
• JavaScript
• LogHandler
• SessionHandler
• Wigbi (part done)

Working with SimpleTest has simplified development a lot, which is why the pace is so good

In Wigbi 1.0, all system classes will be independent of the Wigbi class (except—the Wigbi class), which means that you will be able to use them for other purposes as well, without having to rely on Wigbi. The only static classes (so far) are JavaScript and Wigbi. All other system classes now have default handlers that are initialized by Wigbi and accessed as properties of the Wigbi class.

Several classes remain,  as well as data and UI plugin classes…but I’m getting there.

Wigbi 0.99 – slow progress

Since I do not have a lot of time to develop Wigbi due to a wonderful family life, progress is slow…but there IS progress.

I have fixed a LOT of issues in this release and will finish the WigbiWizard control before releasing the 0.99 version. However, I am facing some line-break issues in the IniReader. Windows cannot parse the file correctly since it iterprets the line feeds as values – but only certain line feeds. This causes Wigbi to try to access the database, even if no data parameters are defined. If you backspace so that the line feeds are deleted, then press enter, everything works ok…so I will check this out as well.

If anyone has any tips regarding how to read text files line by line in an OS independent way – just let me know. I am currenty trying to manually replace various line feed characters to a sincle uniform character, but am obviously doing something incorrectly.
