Apple provides details on the new 27' imac's external display mode : the imac must be on (its system is up), and we can switch between the normal use (imac) and external mode (another device that uses the imac screen) through a shortcut.

11-22-09 / 01:49 AM : CP2JavaWS 1.0 final : protocol check (cjed)
The final version (1.0) of CP2JavaWS is available :

Added support for service protocol (CP class with methods signatures) specifying when retrieving a proxy, in order to allow :
- arguments type check
- nil arguments values (the expected type can then be retrieved from the protocol - required for Java reflect)
- generic methods arguments (CPObject in CP, Object in Java)

Renamed HabiltationService/Filter to AuthorizationService/Filter.

Bug fix in CP2JavaWSJSONPConnection (synch. with latest code since addition of URL class).

MasterDetailView now uses alternating row color for table view, and background for detail view .

Note : documentation has been moved to MediaWiki :
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/cp2javaws/index.php?title=Main_Page

11-16-09 / 01:20 AM : Cappuccino and spriting (cjed)
Back from JS Conf (Berlin), the 280North staff published an article about the new advanced spriting feature in Cappuccino (available in the jake branch, and in the upcoming 0.8 version. See also the CP2JavaWS demo that uses it). This solution doesn't require any code change, and also works with older IE 6 and 7 (as all other Cappuccino features).

11-15-09 / 01:23 AM : CP2JavaWS 0.92 available : Jake/spriting (cjed)
A new version (0.92) of CP2JavaWS is available. It puts the project in synch. with most recent branchs (tested with latest jake branch) :

- CP2JavaWSURLConnection updated from CPURLConnection changes due to new URL class
- CP2JavaWSURLConnectionAuthDelegate updated due to new URL class (now uses its facilities methods)

The demo on AppEngine has also been updated (uses the jake branch, and so the spriting feature that allows a faster download).

Note : there is still a bug in core CPTableView : a wrong transient value is displayed shortly in first visible row's first column, after calling reloadData and before the datasource's methods get called (it then happens after sortDescriptors:didChange ends).
It happens both in Firefox and Safari (but for the later it doesn't show as it draws the cells values much more faster - can however be tracked when adding a breakpoint).

The documentation pages for the project at sourceforge are being migrated to the new MediaWiki app (DocMan has been deprecated recently by Sourceforge).

Youtube announced they are adding 1080p videos besides the existing HD (720p). In order to enhance playing performance of H264 videos embedded in a Flash object (or simply disable these), we can use ClickToFlash (forwards the decoding to the QuickTime plugin).

11-14-09 / 12:52 AM : Core i5 iMac : first benchs (cjed)
First benchs of iMac Core i5 are available at macnn (and Apple stock is now above 200$). As explained before, Apple should add an entry-level MacPro to prevent pro users to look forward to the new iMac (the Core i7 is even faster, up to 25% more powerful than the Core i5, notably thanks to Hyperthreading).
Moreover the MacPro aren't really expandable : very limited (and expensive) graphics card upgrades (leads to flash PC cards, however mac frmwares were used to be of different size), no processor upgrades. Finally the new imacs are said to remain very quiet.

11-06-09 / 08:21 PM : WebKit : Web Inspector new features (cjed)
An article about new features of WebKit's Web Inspector is available. There is to note that most features aren't really usefull when developping in Cappuccino, and setting a breakpoint using the Web Inspector doesn't seem possible in ObjJ source code (as it is converted at runtime in js), I've then always used the debugger; instruction instead. Moreover I didn't find the stop on exception option in Safari 4's debugger (is said to be present in WebKit - and is also available in Firebug).
