CLOG and CLOG Builder 2.3

CLOG Builder

1. Speed up of builder 400%
2. Many minor bug fixes
3. WSL2 speed issues resolved on Linux for Windows (see LINUX.md)
4. Improved handling of results in the CLOG Builder REPL
5. Grid control added to builder
6. CLOG-ACE and CLOG-Terminal updates reducing size of clog-builder (if using git install must pull those as well)
7. The .clog source files pretty printed and additional tools for using the GUI Builder for general HTML / JS work
8. Now in addition to ALT-PERIOD keyboard shortcut for System Browsing a symbol - ALT-COMMA search project for symbol
9. Regex search directories

10. CLOG Builder 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
11. CLOG directions also for QLOT - https://github.com/rabbibotton/clog/blob/main/QLOT.md
12. Improved code completion, function docs in the status bars and documentation when hovering over status bar

CLOG Framework

1. Modifications to play nice with OCICL and QLOT (see OCICL.md and QLOT.md)
2. Garbage collection for the browser and lisp events (see BROWSER-GC)
   3 Bulk DOM traversal list-all-children
3. ENVELOPE-PANEL - used to envelope a CLOG Builder Panels or other absolute positioned controls in FLEX and GRIDs
4. You can now change clog:static-route at run-time for your static files
5. 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
6. destroy-children added - use instead of (setf (text obj) "") or inner-html for destroying all contained html as this will run browser-gc also.

CLOG and CLOG Builder 2.2

CLOG Builder 2.2 -Complete Common Lisp IDE, GUI Builder and totally awesome Debug Utils :)

See #361 for Full discussion on new Debug features with or without clog-builder, all work with non-clog apps and with emacs, lem, etc.

non clog-builder based:

1. clog-break

2. clog-probe (including auto probes)

3. graphical debugger

4. clog-user:clog-repl can now be called with :use-clog-debugger to pop a browser for display output of clog debugging tools with out using clog-builder

running in clog-builder

1. clog-builder-probe

2. clog-builder-scope

3. custom inspectors for objects and files

other clog-builder features

1. Add CLOG GUI plugins and CLOG Builder extension in to the builder preferences

CLOG and CLOG Builder 2.1

CLOG Builder 2.1 - Now a complete Common Lisp IDE and GUI Builder (with or w/o emacs)

• Full interactive debugging in builder
• Clicking sys-browser file name, that is now a button opens the file in source-editor and finds the location in the file. Equivalent to M-.and slime-xref
• There is now a console window and support for input to stdin as dialogs, so possible to use repl for console based apps etc
• Applications launched from builder will by default pop debug messages and console on the builder page that launched the app
• (clog-builder-repl) added to give access to a graphical window with in the builder
• The source editor now uses clog-popup, what that means is that tabs or popups (configurable to use), are now slaves of your builder, so existing windows of source code will be reused and focused on even if in different windows in the browser.\
• Backtraces sent to console on errors
• OS Pseudo Shell with ANSI support
• Auto update menu option
• emacs style tabs using tab key or ctrl-t (mac)/alt-t
• REPL now has an area for working on your code with drop downs etc, default now uses a per REPL console that open with each REPL
• Eval result windows time out and close, the time is configurable for sel, form and file
• No more ECL errors on Termux, etc, tested on SBCL, CCL, and ECL
• Huge speedup for projects, projects now load "reasonably" well on windows
• Added Options -> Start SWANK Server Once to allow incoming SLIME connections
• Now Builder's main interface is the project tree.
• clog-tool:open-file open files in builder and a command line script open-file for opening files
• Replaced Dir View with Dir Tree that is similar to the project tree

CLOG Framework Additions

• with-clog-debugger - any errors that with in will use a graphical debugger in clog-gui's
• clog-tree - drop down tree control
• clog-gui-initialize - now has option to install clog graphical debugger as part of init
• clog-gui, clog-web added to clog-user for use with clog-repl
• The standard dialogs now can be set to block and return values using :time-out
• The server-file-dialog is resizable now
• New API for clog, clog:parent returns the clog object that was used to create the current clog-obj

For Windows users - Simple one click sbcl + CLOG install
https://github.com/rabbibotton/clog-win64-ez/releases

For Mac, Linux and Android - I suggest using the instructions in README.md and if need to install CL in LEARN.md

If you use the windows binary release here - run make.bat (or update.bat if want the latest version) and then run builder.exe
If you use the linux binary release here - run ./make (or ./update if want the latest version) and then run ./builder
If you use the mac binary release here - run ./make (or ./update if want the latest version) and then run ./builder (you may have to run sbcl once from finder as it is not signed)

CLOG and CLOG Builder 2.0

CLOG Builder 2.0 - Now a complete Common Lisp IDE and GUI Builder (with or w/o emacs)

• Updated Look and Feel
• Completely customizable coloring and editor features
• Supports multiple browser tab editing of Source Code and GUI Panels
• Supports opening files in emacs instead of the built in Source Editor
• GUI Build with clog-gui or clog-web or any web html/css/js framework in popup panel editors
• CLOG Frame : Instant Windows, Mac and Linux native CLOG apps
• Built-in REPL : Text based REPL built in (Tools -> CLOG Builder REPL)
• Project Browser : Use any asdf system as a project for Common Lisp or CLOG projects
• ASDF Browser : Browse every system in ASDF and files, etc.
• Directory Browser : OS directory browser
• System Browser : Smalltalk like browser of the entire Lisp image
• Project Templates : Templates for Common Lisp and CLOG projects
• Caller and Callee Listings
• Thread Viewer
• Image to data converter for embedding images in panels and source code
• Database Admin : editor for sqlite
• Documentation Lookup
• Apropos, Describe, Pretty Print
• Point and Click evaluation and testing

CLOG 2.0

• Completely backward compatible to v1
• Better handling of mobile browsers and touch screens
• More robust connectivity
• Menus now available in CLOG-GUI also for child windows
• CLOG based popups/tabs circumvent browser popup restrictions

For Windows users you can unzip extract clog2.0-win64.zip to a directory then run make.bat and it will produce a file called builder.exe - for some reason ASDF is dirt slow loading projects, they will load...

EDIT: For Windows users - I suggest instead of the release zip (with pre-downloaded versions of all files use https://github.com/rabbibotton/clog-win64-ez/releases/tag/v1.0a to start with the latest and keep up to date.)

For Mac, Linux and Android - I suggest using the instructions in README.md or if need to install CL in LEARN.md

CLOG and CLOG Builder 1.9

New Features

• Ability to open source and panel editor in new browser tabs
• New feature - clog popup - open-clog-popup - opens a new browser window and return you a new clog-body object to it so that you have complete control of the new window bypassing browser restrictions (Tutorial 22 updated)
• Added client side JavaScript event editing on panels. Just chose the Tools->Control JavaScript Events and a window will show that lets you add and edit (with full colorization, auto complete, code folding, error parsing, etc)
• Added client side ParenScript event editing on panels. Tools->Control ParenScript Events

Enhancement and Error Fixes

• General stability enhancements to the builder
• Better handling of maximizing windows and reorientation of browser in CLOG-GUI
• Handle changes in menu bar height and insure all windows in bounds in CLOG-GUI - this is to facilitate better CLOG-GUI support on mobile as well
• Created js-to-integer and js-to-float to better handle parsing return values from CLOG
• More reliable retry reconnection to CLOG server on failures, machine sleeps, network interruptions, etc.
• Patch to fast-websockets dropping connections on large files affecting the builder see Issue #326 --- Waiting for merge to fast-websockets can use https://github.com/rabbibotton/fast-websocket in the mean time
• Error handling for files in builder added
• Editor is more lisp and emacs key binding friendly and configurable place a file preferences.lisp in the clog/tool directory that will let you set various preferences for the builder. See also clog-builder-settings.lisp and preferences.lisp.sample
