[Gambas-user] Release of Gambas 2.14

[Benoît Minisini]

Hi,

This release fixes the following problems:

- All database drivers became components so that they can be an explicit 
project dependency.

- File watch management routines were fixed in the interpreter, in gb.qt and 
gb.gtk.

- Static variables are correctly inherited now.

- Focus and clipboard management in gb.qt were fixed.

- A lot of gb.gtk bugs was fixed too. 

And here is the full ChangeLog:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[CONFIGURATION]
* NEW: All database drivers became components so that they can be an
  explicit project dependency.

[INTERPRETER]
* NEW: Backport memory debugging routines from Gambas 3.
* BUG: Fix uninitialized flags in streams, which made INPUT mad on 64 bits
  systems.
* BUG: Fix the file watch management routines.
* BUG: Freeing a collection does not crash anymore if a collection item is
  removed during the process.
* BUG: Static variables are correctly inherited now.
* BUG: Fix compilation on 64 bits systems.
* BUG: Standard streams are not closed at exit anymore.

[COMPILER]
* BUG: Unexpected END SUB or END FUNCTION are detected now.

[GB.CORBA]
* BUG: Fix building with gcc 4.4.0

[GB.DB.SQLITE2]
* BUG: Fix strchr() casting with next gcc 4.4 release.

[GB.DB.SQLITE3]
* BUG: Fix strchr() casting with next gcc 4.4 release.

[GB.FORM]
* BUG: The ValueBox.ReadOnly now works as expected.
* BUG: DirView now supports an hidden directory as root.

[GB.GTK]
* BUG: Controls using the base style color (like TextBox, TextArea...) do
  not take the background color of their parent by default.
* BUG: Reparenting a top-level window, or putting it inside a Workspace
  does not show hidden menus anymore.
* BUG: Fix the Cursor class, and the Control.Cursor property.
* BUG: Handle focus events the same way as in gb.qt.
* BUG: Fix focus handling when SetFocus is called inside a GotFocus or
  LostFocus event handler.
* BUG: Fix the file watch management routines.
* BUG: Font management was redesigned. It does not leak memory anymore,
  and now behaves like in gb.qt.
* BUG: Tristate CheckBox controls now work as expected.
* BUG: Destroy pending deleted controls before entering the event loop, to
  avoid some memory leaks if the event loop is immediately aborted.
* BUG: Detach destroyed controls from their event listener, as in gb.qt.
* BUG: Fix a possible crash when setting the TextBox.Text property with a
  null string.

[GB.NET.CURL]

[GB.QT]
* BUG: Fix GotFocus and LostFocus events generation.
* BUG: Fix focus handling when SetFocus is called inside a GotFocus or
  LostFocus event handler.
* BUG: Fix the file watch management routines.
* BUG: Fix the Clipboard class. Data copied into the clipboard was not
  visible to other applications in some cases.
* BUG: Font properties are correctly inherited between containers and
  children controls.
* BUG: Showing a tray icon does not eat focus events anymore.

Enjoy it!
