5 This document states some of the testing and history of the Tui widget set.
7 Tui has gone through a major facelift since I first created it, and it's
8 current look I like enough to release and attach my name to. :) I have made sure
9 to remain as consistent as possible with function parameter positions, names,
10 purposes, and what-not. I hope I have been, if not mail me tell me what you
11 find inconsistent and I may change it. I say may because I don't want to kill
12 anyone's code if I can help it. That is why I waited so long before releasing
13 Tui. I wanted it to be as stable as possible before sending it out into the
14 world. I think it's stable, and hopefully so will you. There are a few things
15 worth noting before continuing.
17 Tui has gone through some fairly rigorous testing, but since I did the testing
18 it may not be complete. I have complied the code with Purify (TM) and
19 Centerline's Testcenter (TM) and both say my code is clean. There are no
20 memory leaks, and the only problems exist in the curses library. If you use the
21 Ncurses library, it has been cleaned. Of course I am not the best to ask. The
22 only reason why I can say this is because I asked the Ncurses author. I don't
23 know how clean it is. I will assume very clean.
25 But since I may not be able to see the forest for the trees, I'm willing to
26 bet that bugs still do exist, and you folks will find them. If you do find bugs
27 read the BUGS document supplied with this release to find out what to do.
29 I do not plan on changing the interface to Tui, so any code developed in it now
30 should pass the test of time. The only changes I can see are bug fixes and new
31 widgets. Lets hope this wish of mine remains true...
33 There is an examples directory available which demonstrates all of the widgets
34 and some extra concepts, it's a great place to tool around in before banging
35 away at your own code.
