[Pipet Devel] CHANGES

[J.W. Bizzaro]

3/21/00 Brad
* Fixed deletion of loci so it now occurs through the middle. So now a 
shift-1 click on a loci in the workspace will delete it.

3/14/00 Brad
* Tons o' changes. Middle and front are now separate (yay!) with limited 
functionality. Specifically, DB table views do not work, and loci 
deletion (via shift-button1) does not work. Also, only the gadfly database 
works currently. Hopefully these problems will be fixed soon.
* Finished making the name changes so now at least everything being used in 
the middle is following the new case formatting style.
* Added a doc directory with some information.

20000313 J.W. Bizzaro <jeff at bioinformatics.org>
* Added 'Getting Started' to README.
* Made a couple changes to get loci-gnome working as an independent
executable.
* Made menu modules for workspace and connectors...to be implemented later.
* Separated windowlet creation into its own module.
* Started separating connector creation into own module.

On 3/14/00 you mention some DB problems and the locus deletion problem.  I see
you got the locus deletion working again.  BTW, I will make that work from a
popup menu; I'm not so sure shift-button1 click is obvious.

As for databases, can you provide small samples (I think I mentioned this
before) and default values to go in the database selection form?  I haven't
been able to get this to work.  Samples should probably go under...

    back/private/?

And of course, it would be nice to eventually be able to DnD databases onto
the workspace rather than fill out a form.

About the doc directory, is this something that cannot go in the loci-doc
module?  Do you think documentation should come with the main distribution?

Also Brad, take a look at your 2/7/00 entry in CHANGES.  Did you intend for
all of that to go into the file?  It looks like an accidental text paste.

Finally, should I make a tarball out of the current module?

Cheers.
Jeff
