CLOG 2.3 - Dev Journal

[rabbibotton]

Goals:

Faster and more powerful GUI Builder and new Layout Controls for the CLOG Framework - packing boxes, split windows, etc

[rabbibotton]

Better garbage collection of elements destroyed in DOM not using CLOG on Lisp side

[rabbibotton]

clog-connection:browser-gc-on-ping if set to true will auto browser garbage collect in background.

[rabbibotton]

Bulk DOM traversal list-all-children
Speed up of builder 400% on Linux

[rabbibotton]

I also corrected numerous bugs and enhanced performance even more :)

[aykaramba]

Amazing.

[rabbibotton]

Speed issues under WSL2 with Linux solved and a fix for WSL2 here - https://www.reddit.com/r/Common_Lisp/comments/1dojy40/wsl2_fix_insanely_fast_clog_builder_and_lisp_web/

.wslconfig

[wsl2]

networkingMode=mirrored

[rabbibotton]

REPL handles multiple results, better backtraces and print outs of results use ~S matching slime

[rabbibotton]

Improvements in websocket connectivity to handle longer network connect time in WSL for ARM
Additional APIs for grid layouts bound
ENVELOPE-PANEL - added used to envelope a CLOG Builder Panel or other absolute positioned controls in FLEX and GRIDs

[rabbibotton]

mirrored network requires a 7 second delay on intel and 3 on ARM, so it is configurable but by default waits 7 seconds from a disconnect in hopes a connection retries.

[rabbibotton]

grid control add to builder

[rabbibotton]

You can now change static-route at run-time and change where static files are served from.
When you click the run button for a project in builder switches the static route to the projects (even if hit cancel as well)

[rabbibotton]

clog-connection:add-plugin-path - use alternate static-paths based on regex - this allows plugins and libraries to share your html directory with its own resources

[rabbibotton]

CLOG-ACE and CLOG-TERMINAL updated to use add-plugin-path make sure to pull if using git
Removed the static-files from clog for both since no longer need to have in multiple places

[rabbibotton]

Added some pretty printing for html and .clog files and column size limits to help when needing to edit directly

[rabbibotton]

destroy-children added - use instead of (setf (text obj) "") or inner-html for destroying all contained html as this will run browser-gc also.

New directory files search - right click on a file icon and choose search and have a GREP experience :)

[rabbibotton]

Now recursive regex grep

[rabbibotton]

preview panel

[rabbibotton]

Now you have two searches for symbols - Alt-. system browse (like before) and Alt-, regex browse (game changer!)

[rabbibotton]

CLOG now supports non-quicklisp based development completely based off of ASDF. This allows for OCICL based systems see https://github.com/rabbibotton/clog/blob/main/OCICL.md

[rabbibotton]

CLOG directions also for QLOT - https://github.com/rabbibotton/clog/blob/main/QLOT.md

[rabbibotton]

QuickLisp project directories emulated when using OCICL.
When starting builder using :project (or an OCICL directory) the preferences.lisp file is stored in the projects directory.
Additional projects can be created in the OCICL directory.

[rabbibotton]

Better code completion

[rabbibotton]

fixed documentation for all packages along with the status bar function parameters
