0.7.1 Released

[Francisco Tolmasky]

0.7.1 is now live on cappuccino.org: http://cappuccino.org/download

I want to thank everyone that contributed to this release and
especially everyone that tried out the several release candidates

smoothly than past ones, and we were able to catch several issues
ahead of time thanks to your help. The following is a set of release
notes:

can you say more, what this means? can I subclass a class which comes
from a cib?

e.g.
@implementation EdwardsTextField : CPTextField
{

}

or does is it mean something else?

[Chandler Kent]

Hey guys. Great work again with 0.7.1!

Just a quick note: there are a few spare .DS_Store files hanging
around in the Cappuccino Starter download.

Thanks Chandler, I will try to delete those tonight and get them re-
uploaded.

Hi,

Can someone post a noob-friendly mini-tut on how to build/deploy
something like the Aristo showcase app? http://cappuccino.org/aristo/showcase/
Does Cappuccino require Ruby on Rails? Can it be used in ASP or JSP?

thanks,

Can Cappuccino development be done on Windows?

thanks,

[Simon Richardson]

It can be done in any environment, you are essentially writing words
(javascript) into a file and then running it through your browser. You
should follow the http://cappuccino.org/learn/tutorials/getting-setup.php
and have a try, it should also be noted that it can work with most
server languages. PHP, JSP, Helma, RoR, Perl, list goes on.

[John Sun]

ok, thanks for the reply. So it isn't neccessary to be able to build
the Cappuccino binaries or use the cib2nib tool? will development of
applications be hampered at all by not using a Mac?
I would like to stay away from cygwin usage if possible.

thanks,

[Simon Richardson]

Ah, now there is an issue where you can't use Interface Builder and
there for can't take advantage of the useful interface building tools.
In other words you have to do it by hand. Now if you want to build
from source you will have to install a few programs ruby for the rake
commands and other various ones, so there is a disadvantages if that's
the question, but to how much depends on how you work and how dirty
you want to get?

Hi,

here is a small screencast showing you how to use Capcode
(http://rubyforge.org/projects/capcode/) with Cappuccino :

gotcha. if I want to build something like the Aristo showcase:
http://cappuccino.org/aristo/showcase/

would I be doing the layout entirely using IB/Cocoa and converting to
Cappuccino with nib2cib?
including widget placements, anchors, behavior, etc? Or can said be
done using nothing but a text editor?

Either way I'd be better off learning Cocoa right?

[Ross Boucher]

Learning Cocoa and using IB can't hurt, but I believe Aristo showcase
is written entirely without nib2cib or Interface Builder, as is 280
Slides, so they definitely are not necessary.

[Howard Lewis Ship]

For the most part, yes, Windows development is possible. The tools
available on a Mac are often easier or otherwise better suited. You
may still want to use Safari 4, as its developer tool set works better
with Cappuccino than FireFox.

Generally speaking, you edit source files on the "server" and inside
the client (the web browser) the files are pre-processed, converting
from Objective-J to standard JavaScript. There are tools do
pre-process on the server side for efficiency (those would be used to
create deployable versions of your application).

Until the Cappuccino Interface Builder, Atlas, is available, you will
be somewhat handicapped as more complex UIs are built using Apple's
Interface Builder, which is only available for Mac. Atlas is promised
for sometime this summer.
