[sunny]

Public beta 2
Fixed: NKInternetPlayer's glitches
Fixed: NKImage's method resize
Fixed: Slow startup
Fixed: crash when empty parameters passed

If you use NKInternetPlayer please test that your streams work correctly, as 90% of functionality was rewritten on low level some regression bugs may appear.

P.S.
Please don't use bug tracker for beta, use only this post to report bugs you found.

Was settings' behaviour changed in any way? Some of my functions involving set/get is now broken (1.7).

[sunny]

yes, it's changed, provide an example what does not work and it will be fixed.

Good news Sunny, look like the startup speed problem has been resolved in my case, back down to 6-7 second startup. Not seeing the startup speed increase you initial mentioned that would be in 1.7 though.

I'm happy though

well, it's hard to see, as NimbleKit methods take less then 2% of CPU time, most of the time takes HTML loading, js and CSS. That's why I'm thinking about splitting NKit.js to smaller files like "NKControls.js", NKCommon.js, NKAudio.js, etc. this will speed up launch time and overall performance and there will be much less to parse. considering that NKit.js is included on every page this will be noticeable speedup.

[apt]

Sounds like a good idea to me. So for example if you don't need audio functions for you app you don't include nkaudio.js and therefore speed things up.

I'm anxious to start working with the SQLite support. Do you have documentation for that written yet?

[tvalleau]

It's all the same except that now getResults now returns an array. Much more convenient. I'm using it successful right now.

var database = new NKSQLite();
database.openDatabase("controldb.rdb","yes");
database.executeSQL("SELECT * FROM sheet1 WHERE isused IN (1)");
var myArray = database.getResults();
var xx = myArray[0].fieldname;

I see in the RoadMap that NKModalWindow has been updated in 1.7 with the following added.

setAlpha(val) and setFrame(x,y,w,h) methods were added.

Code: Select all

modal = new NKModalWindow();
modal.setFrame(20,0,320,400);
modal.setAlpha(val);
modal.show();
var indicator = new NKActivityIndicator();
indicator.init(90, 165, 30, "white");
indicator.show();
indicator.spin();
modal.addControl(indicator);

var label = new NKLabel();
label.init(140, 158, 140, 40, "Please wait...");
modal.addControl(label);
label.show();
var button = new NKButton();
button.init(120, 210, 100, 40, "buttonClick");
button.setTitle("Dismiss");
modal.addControl(button);
button.show();

This doesn't work for me and I'm not sure what I should use for 'val' in setAlpha.

Could you please provide sample code on how to use the new features.

Thanks
