Harbour 3.0.0 released

[Viktor Szakáts]

Hi All,

After more than 1.5 years of strong development and 3600 commits,
stable Harbour 3.0.0 version has been tagged and source packages
released. Binaries will follow, I will upload universal Windows package
as soon as it will be ready. For other platforms, I'm asking volunteers
to make the packages and upload them to sf.net file area.

Upgrade is recommended for all users.

Get 3.0.0 sources from here:
svn export https://harbour-project.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/harbour-project/tags/harbour-3.0.0
(note to developers: never commit into this branch)

Prepackaged sources here for both *nixes (.gz, .bz2, .xz)
and non-*nixes (.zip):
http://sourceforge.net/projects/harbour-project/files/source/3.0.0/

Binary package builders may use above links to get the sources.

[ SVN revision of 3.0.0 is r16952, it will be shown as r16951 in
version information. ]

I've bumped trunk to 3.1.0dev, this will be the new interim
version number for mainline development.

New features and even compatibility breaker commits are
now allowed in trunk. I've already committed some such
changes, stepping up legacy level and dropping old stuff
marked for removal in previous versions.

Users of nightly builds and SVN trunk source please be
aware about above and use it more carefully than in last
6 months. It may break your build or apps. Stick with
stable release if in doubt.

To retrofit fixes to 3.0.0 for possible 3.0.1 bugfix release,
commit to this source tree:
svn co https://harbour-project.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/harbour-project/branches/harbour-3.0

I hope this release will serve the community well and I'd
like to thank everyone contributing to create this new release.

Viktor

Viktor and others,

Would it be possible to list the most important changes and
enhancements from Harbour 2.1 to 3.0 ? Thanks


Antonio

Hi Antonio,

I don't have personal time/interest for that, as I wrote previously.

Unfortunately nobody else was starting from 2.0 which I processed 

only partially.

The ChangeLog is there though with all the precise details (including

incompatibility markups and migrations notes), so anyone with 

dedication and some familiarity with Harbour can summarize it.

For me, summarizing these ~3500 entries would take take at 

least a full week. The current structure of the summary can be 

found in /NEWS doc.

It would indeed be useful for users, so I'm passing this to other 

contributors. If something is not clear in ChangeLog, or a review 

is needed, I can jump in.

Possible do a macro for each library

Complete Revised hbqt rewriteen and made simplification

      Now any event fired by the Qt itself, either via SIGNAL/SLOTS mechanism or QEvent_*      constants,   it supplies Harbour object instead of Qt pointer.

      This is a massive change and hence regression is expected

new hbmk2 flag :

   hbc for linking library

new os (symbian,iphone,android still incomplete)

Implemented new way of using HB_CURLOPT_HTTPPOST, now  all values are supported in any order and combination. 

Moved in hbwin all windows only code (hbole)

Please will anybody reply to this mail with macromodification knowed

Finally this wasn't committed live because the patch 

had a GPF flaw, which had never been addressed.

See:

   2011-04-21 01:00 UTC+0200 Viktor Szakats (harbour.01 syenar.hu)

   2011-06-06 00:59 UTC+0200 Viktor Szakats (harbour.01 syenar.hu)

   (and note the source filename, which was a temporary one)

> Moved in hbwin all windows only code (hole)

This was 2.0 change.

See:

   2009-05-13 08:10 UTC+0200 Viktor Szakats (harbour.01 syenar.hu)

In 3.0 there have been several OLE improvements, but 

the infrastructure/layout didn't change.

IMO it will be very difficult (=impossible) to assemble this 

change list by relying on memory and dev list discussions.
