LCD Smartie 5.3 beta 2 + new plugin

Post by clansley »

LCD Smartie 5.3 beta 2 is available for download.

The plugins have also been updated:
- A new plugin 'menu' is available.
- Perf is now at alpha 3.
- Big Num is now at alpha 2.

Plugin Changes:
Menu:
- initial release.
- Includes demo configs for C**********z 633 and 631!
Perf:
- Fixed bug: now closing down cleanly.
- Added more bar styles - including gapless bars for
C**********z displays.
- Added more parameter checking and error messages.
- Fixed errors in demo config.

Big Num:
- Changed 2 line version of : to use two periods rather than two o's.
- Added extra styles to cope with displays that have a solid bar
instead of pixels for the last row (some HD44780 displays).

Changes since LCD Smartie 5.3 Beta 1:
- Fixed bug: $dll sometimes required the .dll extension, this was
meant to be optional.
- Fixed bug: Smartie would hang if a function didn't have an ending
bracket.
- Do a full parse of plugin parameters and results. [Was failing
when a plugin result was used as a parameter to another plugin].
- Fixed bug: Give correct error when dll can't be loaded, it was
saying that function could not be loaded.
- Fixed bug: Redraw full display on resuming after suspending.
- Added support for plugin action, the returned string is also
processed as an action. [added so plugins can receive keypresses].
- Added new variable $ScreenChanged for use in actions.
[Added so plugins can detect screen changes]
- Added new two new actions 'DisableScreen(n)' and 'EnableScreen(n)'.
- Bug fix, plugin code was using scroll interval rather than the dll
check interval.
- Bug fix: random custom chars at startup.
- Improved scroll/flash smoothness.
