Locked New version; apologies; ops mode


 

First, my apologies for being so hard to reach recently. I've been pretty busy, and in the time I've got available for this project I've been focused on getting ops-mode programming done.

While working on some configuration tools, I uncovered some things that I really needed to clean up. That took a little time, but in the long run I thought it'd be clearly worthwhile. Those of you who're using the code directly should probably update from CVS.

I've uploaded a _test_ version of 1.0.7 that includes:

New PM4 and BDL16 programmers in LocoTools/JmriDemo

Fixes to the turnout icons, sensor icons in control panels

New Zimo, ESU decoder files courtesy Sip Bosch. Also, new
programmer format files for these form Sip. (It would be
good to merge them back with the Comprehensive panel
so we don't start to get too many formats. Any volunteers?)

Fix to configuration support to handle changing a port name.
Previously, if you move a config file to a machine where the
configured port wasn't present, you'd be unable to write a
corrected file.

Add proposed NMRA-standard items for max current, voltage, etc
to decoder file format.

LocoNet monitor now understands additional messages.

Ops-mode programing for LocoNet protocols via both the
"Simple programmer" and the DecoderPro paned programmers.


I ran into some problems with ops-mode programming on NCE and EasyDCC, and those will take a little more time. And there are two high-priority changes that did _not_ get into this update: (1) Smaller speed-table fonts for Macintosh and (2) change how the programming-mode selection looks. But this update is already 9 days overdue, and I wanted to get the ops-mode update where people could start to look at it over the weekend.

Even more than usual, this is a _test_ version. There are extensive changes to the underlying programming mechanism, and it's quite possible I broke something. Please keep an eye out for bugs and let me know (via the jmriusers group, if possible) when you find something broken.

The Windows installer is at:



A .zip file containing the update for use on Macintosh (X or classic), OS/2 and Linux is available at:



Please let me know if you want one for another machine type.
