About
Tekadence Magik 1.1 is a major upgrade in performance
and architecture, taking advantage of improvements in the Java 1.4 runtime
environment. Because there have only been a few new features added to
this version, most of the testing should focus on verifying that old features
still work, and new bugs have not been introduced.
Specific areas and features that have undergone the most
development for the current beta release of Magik include:
Publish
* Publish architecture has been completely re-written,
optimized for both speed of publishing, and size of published applications.
* Design now lends itself towards more easily creating
additional publisher components.
* WebStart applications can optionally be published
without standalone resources, which allow for runtime components to
be downloaded and cached from remote locations as needed.
Script
Editor
* The jEdit text framework has been integrated into
the script editor, providing a rich set of text editing, formatting,
and search & replace functions.
* Text editor preferences can be set in the application
preferences dialog.
Property Table
* The property editor architecture has been significantly re-written
to improve extensibility for future data types.
* Many of the editors have been modified to improve
usability.
Scrapbook
* There is now one window for all open scrapbook documents.
* By default, the scrapbook displays a "Default
Classes" view that creates a dynamic list of all classes loaded
at runtime. An optional filter can be used modify the list.
Additionally there are many bug fixes and minor improvements
to the user interface that have gone into this release. Feature additions
also include:
* Improved sound support - native MP3/streaming audio.
* Localized user interface (note: if you are interesting
in helping localize Magik for a specific language please contact jkaplan@axlogic.com).
* Selectable look and feel - can be changed in the
application preferences.
* Improved console interface.
