What's new in TreeLine 2.0.2

Oct 8, 2015
  • Bug Fixes:
  • Fixed a major regression in 2.0.1 that broke data editors for most specialized field types (number, math, boolean, choice, etc.)
  • Compatibility Notes:
  • There are some file format changes between TreeLine 1.4.x and this version of TreeLine.
  • Older files opened in this version are automatically converted when saved.
  • Files saved in this version may not be fully compatible with TreeLine 1.4.x.

New in TreeLine 2.0.1 (Sep 28, 2015)

  • Fixed several minor bugs in the initial 2.0.0 release.

New in TreeLine 2.0.0 (May 17, 2015)

  • Updates:
  • Modified the Treepad file import to use SpacedText fields to more closely match Treepad formatting.
  • An optional plugin was written that can export files to the Treepad text file format.
  • The TreeLine icon was replaced with a new one. Thanks to David Reimer for contributing the artwork.
  • The German and Portuguese GUI translations were updated.
  • Updated the long text sample file to include the SpacedText field type, and added a conditional equation to the math sample file.
  • Updated the Math Field section of the documentation.
  • Compatibility Notes:
  • There are some file format changes between TreeLine 1.4.x and this version of TreeLine.
  • Older files opened in this version are automatically converted when saved.
  • Files saved in this version may not be fully compatible with TreeLine 1.4.x.

New in TreeLine 1.9.7 (Mar 29, 2015)

  • Notes:
  • This is an unstable development snapshot of a full rewrite of TreeLine. It is nearly ready for a stable release, but it could still contain bugs. Testing and bug reports are appreciated.
  • The GUI and documentation translations are not yet complete.
  • New Features:
  • Added comparison operators and conditional if statements to math field equations. The operators can be used with a new boolean result type, or as a part of numeric, date, time or text expressions.
  • Text operators were made available in math field equations, and the result type can be set to text. This allows math fields to combine text from other fields, replace substrings and change capitalization.
  • Updates:
  • Added a "file saved" status bar message.
  • Added a German GUI translation.
  • Updated the Portuguese GUI translation.
  • Bug Fixes:
  • Fixed a focus problem that made Combination and AutoCombination field editor pull-downs unusable.
  • Fixed a focus problem that made the pull-downs in choice and boolean field editors unusable on Linux.
  • Compatibility Notes:
  • There are some file format changes between TreeLine 1.4.x and this version of TreeLine.
  • Older files opened in this version are automatically converted when saved.
  • Files saved in this version may not be fully compatible with TreeLine 1.4.x.

New in TreeLine 1.9.6 (Mar 11, 2015)

  • Notes:
  • This is an unstable development snapshot of a full rewrite of TreeLine. It could still contain bugs. Testing and bug reports are appreciated.
  • The GUI and documentation translations are not yet complete.
  • New Features:
  • Added a new OneLineText field type that restricts the text length to a single line.
  • Added an All Types option to the conditional find and filter commands. This allows multiple node types to be found or filtered at the same time. The fields from every type are available for use in conditions. The conditions give a false result for all node types that do not contain that field name.
  • Added support for date and time calculations using math fields. Math equation result types can be set to numeric, date or time output. Date fields can be subtracted to give the number of days elapsed, and numbers of days can be added to or subtracted from dates, resulting in new dates. Time fields can be subtracted to give the number of seconds elapsed, and numbers of seconds can be added to or subtracted from times, resulting in new times.
  • In math fields, added an equation reference level to reference fields in the root node. This provides a place for "constant" field values that can be referenced from any node but only need to be changed in one location.
  • Support was added for plugin extension modules. Most of the interface methods from TreeLine 1.4.x were duplicated to ease porting of old plugins. Of course, old plugins must be ported from Python 2.x to Python 3.x, and there are multi-window implementation differences. New interfaces allow the creation of new field types and the execution of any menu command. Sample plugins are available on the TreeLine download page.
  • Added text formatting and link commands for HTML fields that add tags to the HTML content.
  • An open in folder command was added to external link field editors to open the directory in a file manager.
  • Added the Select All command to global menus with a different default shortcut key (ctrl-L) to avoid conflicts with the add child shortcut.
  • Updates:
  • Improved the focus handling for data edit view edit boxes. This eliminates the blue outline for boxes in inactive data edit views. It also makes tab-to-focus more predictable, including fully selecting single-line field types when they receive tab focus.
  • Data edit boxes are now automatically resized when editing is complete and the focus moves to another row.
  • Allow files to be drag & dropped on data edit boxes to create external links.
  • Small, non-modal dialogs, such as those for sorting, numbering, finding and filtering, have been set to stay on top, so they won't be obscured by TreeLine windows.
  • Made opening associated programs from external file links more consistent, especially in Linux.
  • The copy types from file command now supports encrypted and compressed files.
  • Added wait cursors to TreeLine operations that could be time consuming.
  • Improved the consistency of context menus and shortcut commands used in edit boxes.
  • Added a nearly complete Portuguese GUI translation.
  • Added support for sample TreeLine files to be provided in alternate languages.
  • Prepared the help file for translation into other languages,
  • Bug Fixes:
  • Corrupted TreeLine files with the same unique ID assigned to multiple nodes no longer fail to open. The user is warned that unique IDs have been updated, which could break some internal links.
  • Fixed missing fields in the pull-down list in the conditional find and filter dialog boxes when a rule was re-used after a node type change.
  • Fixed problems with math fields that reference non-existing fields in parent or child nodes.
  • Made math fields update properly after node type changes.
  • Fixed inconsistent updates after renaming fields used with bulleted or tabled output.
  • Made node copy-paste and drag-and-drop work when the initial selection includes both parent and child nodes.
  • When importing a tabbed text file with multiple top-level nodes, create a single higher-level node to prevent failure.
  • Fixed the availability of the move up button in the customize toolbar dialog when the second command in the list is selected.
  • Missing Features (not implemented yet):
  • Language translations for the GUI and documentation.
  • Compatibility Notes:
  • There are some file format changes between TreeLine 1.4.x and this version of TreeLine.
  • Older files opened in this version are automatically converted when saved.
  • Files saved in this version may not be fully compatible with TreeLine 1.4.x.

  • Added a Clear Formatting command that removes font changes and links from data editor text.
  • Made source code changes necessary to support user interface translations into other languages. The actual translation work remains to be done.
  • Updates:
  • Add scroll bars to the pull-down editors for combination fields with many entries.
