Release notes
Overview
This is the place to come to find the newest functionality, details on bug fixes, and the list of workarounds for known bugs. The appropriate areas are updated with each new release of MeshTV.
Release notes window
Release notes window
shows the window that pops up when you select the
Release notes...
item in the
Help
menu at the top of the MeshTV
Main
window. The actual contents of the window you see will probably differ from this picture.
The
Release notes
window contains a scrolled window which displays information about MeshTV. The kind of information displayed is chosen via the
Chapter
and
Section
pulldown menus. The three kinds of information which can be displayed are
Enhancements and Modifications
,
Corrected Bugs
, and
Workarounds for Known Bugs
. This information can be displayed for the entire history of the code, or only for the history after a given version of the code. For example, you can choose to see corrected bugs for MeshTV after its version 3.0 release.
Display areas
The single line text area and the large scrolled window contain the output specified by the items in the
Chapter
and
Section
pulldown menus. The single-line text area indicates the kind of information displayed (
Enhancements and Modifications
,
Corrected Bugs
, or
Workarounds for Known Bugs
) and for which period of time the information is displayed (i.e., since version 3.0).
Chapter
The
Chapter
pulldown menu allows access to three kinds of information:
Enhancements and Modifications
,
Corrected Bugs
, and
Workarounds for Known Bugs
. These three elements work in concert with the
Section
pulldown menu by providing information only for specified versions of MeshTV.
Enhancements and Modifications
When this menu item is chosen, the display area in the
Release notes
window shows any enhancements or modifications to MeshTV since the release version specified by the
Section
pulldown. The chosen version is shown in the single line text area above the scrolled window display area. For example, it might read "Enhancements and Modifications since version 3.0."
Corrected Bugs
When this menu item is chosen, the display area in the
Release notes
window shows any MeshTV bugs which have been corrected since the release version specified by the
Section
pulldown. The chosen version is shown in the single line text area above the scrolled window display area. For example, it might read "Corrected bugs since version 3.0."
Workarounds for Known Bugs
Unfortunately we know of bugs in the code which have yet to be fixed. This section lists certain known bugs (and possible "workarounds" if they exist) in the display area in the
Release notes
window. Unlike the
Enhancement and Modifications
and
Corrected Bugs
items,
Workarounds for Known Bugs
does not rely on the
Section
pulldown since it lists currently known bugs rather than bugs associated with a given version of the code.
Section
The
Section
menu allows you to select how much information you wish to receive on
Enhancements and Modifications
or
Corrected Bugs
. The items in this menu indicate different releases of MeshTV. If you want to see all changes after a given release, select the item which indicates that release. For example, if you want all corrected bugs since version 3.0, you select
Corrected Bugs
in the
Chapter
menu and
since version 3.0
in the
Section
menu.
