MeShell commandline frontend timetable

<< < (12/15) > >>

Martin Vieregg:
I have now completed MeShell version 0.72 . A whole series of inconsistencies have been corrected again.

MeShell changes the input lines. If a PM program is called, "start" is automatically set in front of it. If you accidentally call a Win32 or Win64 program, then my computer did crash. A Win32 / 64 program is now recognized and "pe" or "pec" is set in front of it. A Win64 program is acknowledged with an "echo (error message)".

The completion syntax was sometimes incomplete or incorrect. Commands with included directory names have not yet been completed, you can do that now. Please report constellations where completion still doesn't work properly.

I am considering whether to switch the display of the hint window, where directory structures are searched while typing, to a separate thread. I have a fairly fast computer, there is only a noticeable delay when navigating through a CD drive. You can write if you are annoyed.

Martin Vieregg:
MeShell Version 0.80 with navigation tree window is available.

The development of the MeShell commandline frontend is now functionally complete.

In the navigation window there is a "normal mode", in which the current directories are shown in the first level and the entered commands in the second. Then there is an "Error Mode", in which only the lines are displayed where the previous stderr output has taken place. This is useful for long batch files to find the error lines.

The OS/2 project MeShell is now basically finished. On my side, all functionality I have considered are implemented now. However, bugs are certainly still included, although in decreased number. Please send me remaining bug collections with instructions on how to reproduce them.

Not much will happen on the OS / 2 platform until 1.0. I want to finish the Windows version in 0.90, 0.9X will continue bug fixing on both platforms.

I hope that MeShell helps the guys running text mode compilers for porting programs to OS/2.

Martin Vieregg:
MeShell Version 0.81 fixes a handful of bugs (including a crash with command history cursor up / down) and n the settings book the "Save" page it has a setting where you can limit the length of the output history. So far it has grown endlessly. The oldest entries are no longer saved.

Martin Iturbide:
Hi Martin

I also posted your new release on the OS2World news. Thanks for your efforts of developing more OS/2 software.

Regards

MeShell 0.81 could crash when browsing the command history with Cursor Up/Down. In the new navigation window, the button names in english language were complete false. MeShell Version 0.82 fixes this and other minor stuff.
