OLD - FET-5.16.0 snapshot available for testing

[Liviu Lalescu]

I have decided to go to the next version as 5.16.0, because the input structure has changed and there are some nice new features (of course you can open older files).

New features:

   - Each constraint can be activated/deactivated and also each constraint may have an optional comment. The user can sort the constraints based on their comment. These special functions can be accessed only from all time/space constraints dialogs (suggested by George Miliotis,
   Davide G. M. Salvetti and maybe other users).
   - Each activity may have an optional comment (suggested by K, m and maybe other users).
   - The command line version now saves the current timetable and the highest stage timetable if it receives SIGTERM from the user, then exits
   (suggested by Davide G. M. Salvetti and maybe other users).

Download link for the test version, as usual, on http://lalescu.ro/liviu/fet/download/test/

Please test and report your results.

I added a new snapshot, code cleanup by Volker Dirr, we need to check the timetable export to HTML.

I added a new snapshot, minor changes.

[Liviu Lalescu]

I added a new snapshot, changed from "utf-8" to "UTF-8" in .fet input files and output HTML and XML files. Please test.

I will try to wait with the new FET version, until Qt 4.8.0 is released, so that it will incorporate this latest Qt version.

Meanwhile, I hope advanced users can help me with testing FET with Qt-4.8.0-rc (release candidate). So, if you can compile and run FET under this Qt-4.8.0-rc, please test extensively the dialogs and report if there are problems or everything is OK.

I added a new snapshot, minor strings changes.

Thanks for new features
Activate/De-activate is a very convenient feature. So instead of removing the hardly added constraints, we can simply de-activate them for testing
I wonder, if is possible to add a new filter to the Sort button, so we can choose between sorting alphabetically or by deactivated constraints.
The purpose is to have an overview of deactivaed constraints
This way , we will have a close eye to what is deactivated

Why can't you modify the comments of deactivated constraints, so they are the last in the list, after sorting? You have the number of active/total constraints, so you can check that the deactivated constraints in the end of the list are all of them.

There is not enough space for additional buttons in the all time/space constraints dialog.

My previous post showed me a bug in the snapshot. After you (de)activate a constraint, the count of active constraints is not updated correctly. I fixed and probably tomorrow I'll put a new snapshot.

I do agree
Good idea !!

[Liviu Lalescu]

I put a new snapshot, to correct the problem mentioned above (if user (de)activated a constraint, the number of active/total constraints was not written correctly).

I added a new snapshot, with a Vietnamese translation by our newest collaborator, Nguyen Truong Thang.

I am still waiting for the release of Qt 4.8.0, and for last minute corrections in the Vietnamese translation, to release the final version.
