Bloc monthly report

Hi all

Today is sunday meaning that we should make a monthly report on what happened in Bloc in February.

 – BlLinearLayout (stack layout + proportional layout)

• Uses gtExample for examples and tests: BlLinearLayoutExamples
• Has extensive class docs and method docs. Still some methods are missing docs.
• Has “book” chapter (more info below)

– Integration with OS-Window

• Finally works, really fast.
• Events do not work as expected because of https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/17757

– Unified shape scaling behaviour.

• By default shape scales to fill BlElement’s extent.
• Supports different resizing strategies.
• Started “book” chapter

– Added documentation to various parts of Bloc

• Still there are a lot of places not covered with docs.
• Also we auto-generate “book” chapters from bloc example classes. In attachment you can find linear-layout and not finished shape chapter.

Future

– Bloc presentation on PharoDays2016

• 01 April 2016
• 11:05–11:25 Bloc: Towards a vector-based GUI

– Working on

• Grid layout (all rules above apply, docs + tests + chapter)
• Bloc tests
• Documentation

Cheers,

Alex
