WebMacro 2.0 release? / Items that are modified or added by Mike W / Marcel H

Hello everybody,

it would be great to have "soon" a 2.0 release.

I'd like to see the following items to be included in this new version:

1) adjusted DefaultDirective (see attachment).

Made #default pre wm2 compatible.
#default $myVar to "value" has been deprecated, but NOW it still works!

It generates a warning if LogLevel.directive: NOTICE
This is a neat trick to log all the occurences and replace them!
Log-example: ../my.wmt:34.2 uses #default $border to "default", please use:
#default $border = "default"


2) adjusted LogFile (see attachment)

ChangeLog:

14-01-2005 (Mike Weerdenburg)
LogFilePerDay
It was :
exampl. c:/logs/wm.log -> c:/logs/wm.log_20050105
exampl. c:/logs/wmlog -> c:/logs/wm_log_20050105

Now it is :
exampl. c:/logs/wm.log -> c:/logs/wm_20050105.log
exampl. c:/logs/wmlog -> c:/logs/wm_log_20050105

Write a message to the 'old' logfile when switching to a 'new' one.

17-07-2002 (Marcel Huijkman)
setting for WebMacro.properties added
LogFilePerDay
usage:
LogFilePerDay=FALSE or TRUE

LogFileAutoFlush
usage:
LogFileAutoFlush=FALSE or TRUE
(Notice: Only handy when developing on a Operating system, that buffers
file-writing, not recommended for production, since it obviously slows down
the machine.)


3) new WhileDirective (see attachment)

Just have fun with it...

Syntax: #while (condition) [limit (int)] { block } WhileDirective implements
a WebMacro directive for an while control structure. If you use it without
the limit option than it stops after 1000000 loops! Use a limit value < 0 to
create a loop without a limit, this could hang your template!


4) new SilentEvaluationExceptionHandler (see attachment)

An implementation of EvaluationExceptionHandler which throws some
exception's when it is called.
The error is stored back into the webcontext $WMERROR (as ArrayList) and
could be handled by the templatewriter.

You can use this in case of a live-situation to mail the error or show the
error in a fashioned way.

Example:
#if ( $Variable.isDefined("WMERROR") )
{
	   <B>Error(s):</B><BR>
	   #foreach $item in $WMERROR
	   {
		   $item<BR>
	   }
}

* This one looks like the 'DebugEvaluationExceptionHandler' but doesn't
throw all the Exeptions.


5) adjusted EvalDirective (no attachment, sorry I have no clue how to adjust
this)

#eval <Macro or String> [using { ... }]

To 'parse' a Macro or String value...
> Keats? Already back from Calif? To do some SD for the WM community? ;-)


Please add this modifications / add-ons to WebMacro 2.0 !

Greetings
Mike Weerdenburg


PS. Maybe we should make a wish list for this 'new' WebMacro 2.0 release?
And set a date! when it should be up and running?
