[Laszlo-reviews] For Review: Change philip-20130506-t0j. Summary: Improve performance of html component


(Note: I am checking this changeset in.)

Change philip-20130506-t0j by philip <at> philip-i7-2 on 2013-05-06 20:42:11 
EDT
    in /cygdrive/f/clients/laszlo/svn/openlaszlo/trunk
    for http://svn.openlaszlo.org/openlaszlo/trunk

Summary: Improve performance of html component

New Features:

Bugs Fixed: LPP-10276

Technical Reviewer: (pending)
QA Reviewer: antun
Doc Reviewer: (pending)

Documentation:

Release Notes:

Overview:

Details:
I think some recent changes I made to reduce closures resolved the 
memory leak (I did not observe them during testing). I did make a change 
to cache the location of the iframe to improve performance. The update 
runs via the idle timer and monitors the iframe position and zoom value. 
Most of the method is needed only when the window size changes.

[BULK] Custom type constructors and CSS

How are custom type objects instantiated when the value of the
attribute is set using CSS? I have a . custom type with a constructor
defined. When setting the attribute at runtime, the type's <accept>
tag is used to trigger the instantiation of the new type instance.

When I set the value using CSS, the constructor of the type is called,
passing an instance of the type instead of the CSS property value.

Is there any documentation online for the type system?

[BULK] LPP-10352 Incorrect dimensions of focusview when setting the focus on a component with borderwidth set

I found another bug with the boxmodel mixin and the basefocusview. The
basefocusview sets the dimensions of a view ignoring possible
borderwidth values > 0, meaning the focus rectangle is smaller than
the target view with borders.

[BULK] [BULK] Is there the slightest interest by CP in fixing the serious bugs within the view system/kernel at all?

When I subscribed the list I got this automated message from Laszlo
Systems (not CP!):

"The mailing lists are hosted by Laszlo Systems, but Laszlo Systems
employees participate in the lists as members of the community,
essentially on their own time and in the spirit of the collaborative
nature of any open source project. In particular, the lists are not an
official support mechanism and you should not expect an answer to any
particular question, from Laszlo Systems employees or anyone else."

Note this sentence: "In particular, the lists are not an official
support mechanism and you should not expect an answer to any
particular question, from Laszlo Systems employees or anyone else."

The welcome message needs to be updated, unless CP is trying to hide
the fact that OpenLaszlo is a Critical Path product right now. It
looks like the Critical Path Webtop system is a dead product. They try
to create a nice marketing message:
http://www.cp.net/index.php/news-2/280-news-radicati-top-player
"The Radicati Group names Critical Path ‘Top Player’ ... Messaging
platforms are robust, highly scalable, brandable, and localizable
offerings."

How robust and stable is your messaging platform if you don't maintain
one of the key platforms you are using for building highy-priced
products. Critical Path has a bad reputation anyway, haven't heard
anything good about the company from people in the Bay Area and people
working for one of the other companies they acquired. I wouldn't be
surprised if all former Laszlo employees have left the company by now.

[BULK] Is there the slightest interest by CP in fixing the serious bugs within the view system/kernel at all?

The number of serious bugs with the view system, boxmodel, corner
radius. drop shadow, clipping of views, click masking of views is
concerning. I've never seen the OpenLaszlo platform in such a state in
the past 8 1/2 years.

Is there anyone within the management at CP aware of those bugs, and
are those bugs going to be addressed? If not, the platform will become
be unusable very soon.

[BULK] DHTML bug with boxmodel/borderwidth, getMouse() and containsPt()

In DHTML runtime, getMouse() adds the borderwith values to the x/y
position of the mouse pointer. containsPt() uses those incorrect
values and is broken as well.

http://jira.openlaszlo.org/jira/browse/LPP-10351

I'll assign the issue to Amy, since Max does not seem to be active any more.

There's a but in the LzCanvasGradient class for linear gradients in
SWF runtime. The details and a link to a test app to veryify the bug
have been added to the issue.

[BULK] drawview, rounded corners, drop shadows / QA and bugs

Is Critical Path / Laszlo still working on a new component set for
OpenLaszlo? Looking at the number of bugs I'm running into when using
the drawview component with features like rounded corners and drop
shadows it seems that there's no much QA being done at the moment.

Are any other developers using these features for their apps? Without
some serious bugfixing and QA work drawview and some of the LFC APIs
for drop shadows and rounded corners are pretty broken.

If we provide patches and bug reports, is there any interest in
actually fixing those bugs? And is a 5.0 release realistic for 2013?

I guess that http://jira.openlaszlo.org/jira/browse/LPP-1840 can be
closed, since there's no need for the roundrect class any more with
cornerradius support added to the LFC.

Does anyone still know what algorithm Andre was using for the corner
radius? The only optimization which should be done at the moment is to
use a lower radius value for the inner corner, when a borderwidth is a
set on a view with a cornerradius > 0.

Views with a borderwidth > 0 are not clipped correctly. The clipping
is applied based on the width of the view WITHOUT borders. Is the OL
team aware of that bug?

While clipping of views with rounded corners works in SWF10, it's not
working in DHTML runtime. Has anyone found a workaround for that?

It's actually working for a drawview when a resource is set on the
view directly, but the content of subviews is not clipped.

I'm reading since I'm still interested in activity around openlaszlo.
But openlaszlo gets more and more unattractive since it's pretty much
dead, isn't it?

Cheers, JBoesl

I'm here and reading it... we still use Laszlo on 3 different projects and probably going to start a 4th that
will use it soon.
