Download Page

Release Document

User Documentation

  • This should be the documentation for all features available in the released downloadable. This includes new features, old features and updates done to them. This way we could iteratively form the final user docs.

Installation Instructions

  • installation instructions (MAC/Windows/Linux). Mac java tweaking instructions.

Product

IMPORTANT

Always write where is the result of the task you completed. This would be the changeset with thorough commit comment for coding and a link to the wiki page for a document.

Repository Branching

Release Tuning

  • Edit the about dialog so that it contains the text in ITERATION_03/Release/AboutSophie2. The text should be refined.
  • Review bundles.config files.Remove unnecessary modules and add others if needed.
  • Review log4j.properties file and change log file name and logging level.
  • Review pom.xml files for mistakes(dependencies, BundleActivators, embed/import dependencies)
  • Repair prefixed and suffixed path in the bundle search code in launcher module.

Bugs to Fix

  • The icons are not properly placed according to their usage. This prevents the application from functioning normally (i.e. one cannot create a book) - Pap (done 2008-12-11 18:28EET. Changeset [757] )
  • The log4j.properties file is not read from the working directory at startup. - pap (done 2008-12-11 18:28EET. Changeset [757] )
  • The application is not closable in a normal way - jani (done 2008-12-12 12:21EET. Changeset [760] ) (See #Comments for more details)
  • Change visible appearances of "Veda" to "Sophie 2" - veliko (done 2008-12-11 18:13EET. Changeset[772],[778])
  • Books are not closable. Trying to do so causes an exception. - jani (done 2008-12-13 19:34EET. Changeset[823])
  • Creating a second book causes an exception. This leads to menu failure. - jani (done 2008-12-12 21:35EET. Changeset [791] )
  • Books are not openable. If this is not solvable in a reasonable time, book opening may be hidden. - jani (done 2008-12-13 13:13EET. Changeset [813] ) (See #Comments for more details)
  • Saving a book throws an exception. If this cannot be easily fixed, the move to the "Things to disable" section and disable it(hide menu items keyboard shortcuts etc.) - jani (done 2008-12-12 18:01EET. Changeset [776],[812] )
  • Page navigation is not working properly when a page number is typed in directly. - jani (done 2008-12-13 12:58EET. Changeset [811] )
  • Extensions are not declared where they're supposed to be. This is concerning main.view and func.file modules, but other should be reviewed too.
  • Image content is not working. - jani
  • Z-order changing is not working.
  • Setting a page width or height less than or equal to zero causes a crash. - jani (done 2008-12-13 20:05EET. Changeset [827] )
  • If the line in org.sophie2.launcher.Main that loads the log4j configuration is commented out, then the application loads the config from the launcher jar file. This leads to unwanted logging behavior.

Things to Remove

  • main.media.fobs module - Pap - done(2008-12-11 16:37 EET)
  • deprecation of bindings, children properties and observe value.
  • tests that cause errors(VLDocking ProLibUtil)-veliko(done 2008-12-13 11:52:47 EET. Changeser[816])
  • server and server.persistence modules-veliko (done 2008-12-13 12:20 EET. Changeset[810])
  • sophie2-platform/old (this is the veda code that was developped before we started Sophie 2.0 project) - veliko (done 2008-12-12 12:03EET. Changeset[759])

Things to Disable

  • Scenes (the sample implementaion). This is the window that says: "This is the sample page work area ...." - jani (done 2008-12-12 12:31EET. Changeset [761] )

Final Delivery

How to use the branch

  • Update your working copy of the repository
  • If you have the trunk project imported in Eclipse, change your workspace to a new one (for example "Release"
  • Import as a "Maven project" from branches/release01/sophie2-platform
  • All your changes from now on will affect only the release branch

Closing Sophie 2

  • Sophie 2 will close only if File -> Quit is selected from the menu.
  • The "x" on the main window has no effect.

Opening books
