DurianSwt releases

[Unreleased]

Added

• com.diffplug.common.swt.SwtKt which is required to instantiate Point or Rectangle in Kotlin starting with Eclipse 4.36 (#33 responding to swt#1711)

Removed

• The 32-bit x86 ports have been removed. (#36)

[5.2.0] - 2025-08-28

Added

• MacDeepLink class and dylibs for supporting deep links on modern versions of macOS.

[5.1.0] - 2025-08-21

Added

• Add META-INF/services metadata to support Kotlin coroutines Dispatchers.Main.

[5.0.1] - 2025-01-26

Changed

• Downgrade from Kotlin 2.1.0 to 2.0.21

[5.0.0] - 2025-01-25

Changed

• BREAKING SwtMisc.systemFontWidth now returns double instead of int.
  • added new methods systemFontWidthTimes(int) and systemFontWidthTimes(String) to make this easier to deal with
• BREAKING remove RxJava completely in favor of Kotlin Flow.
• Bump required java from 11 to 17.

[4.3.1] - 2024-07-05

Changed

• Convert ControlWrapper and Shells to kotlin for better nullability. (#27)

[4.3.0] - 2023-12-08

Added

• OS.detectPlatform can now take a Function<List<String>, String> which lets you control process execution when detecting the OS. (#26)

[4.2.2] - 2023-10-26

Fixed

• Remove more errant platform-specfic SWT artifacts. (#25)

[4.2.1] - 2023-06-22

Fixed

• Remove the errant platform-specific SWT artifact which was added as a transitive dependency in the pom of durian-swt:4.2.0. (#23)

[4.2.0] - 2023-04-27

Added

• When OS.getNative or getRunning is called on an OS which is unsupported by SWT, instead of throwing an exception, we now return Arch.unknown. You can't get platform-specific artifacts for it, but if you don't need them then you get to keep running instead of dying. (#21)

[4.1.1] - 2022-10-31

Fixed

• SiliconFix.APPLY_FIX is now mutable, which was the intention in 4.1.0.

[4.1.0] - 2022-10-31

Added

• SiliconFix now has a public static boolean APPLY_FIX field which users can set. The initial value is OS.getRunning().isMac() && Arch.getRunning() == Arch.arm64, but we have found that users might need to set a different value depending on how SWT is launched.

[4.0.0] - 2022-09-29

Added

• SwtExec can now plays nicely with Kotlin coroutines.
• CoatMux.Layer now exposes its root Control instance (#12).
• VScrollCtl and VScrollBubble for easier VScroll handling (#10).

Changed

• BREAKING SwtRx is now based on Kotlin Flow rather than RxJava.

Removed

• BREAKING Removed ColorPool.getSystemColor() (#8).
• BREAKING Switched type arguments of TypedDataField (#3).
• BREAKING Removed OSGi metadata.

[3.6.1] - 2022-02-18

Fixed

• Oops, we weren't publishing the aarch64 binaries, fixed now. (#18)

[3.6.0] - 2022-02-18

Added

• On Mac Apple Silicon (but not x86_64), SWT Tables and Trees now have giant fat rows (bugzilla). (#17)
  • But if you call setFont(null) on them, then they have rows the same size as before.
  • We created a new class SiliconFix that does nothing on all platforms except Apple Silicon where it calls setFont(null).
  • Wherever a Table or Tree instantiated (SmoothTable and ColumnFormat), we use SiliconFix.
  • This workaround is perfectly effective as of 4.21 and 4.22, it may become obsolete in a future release.

[3.5.0] - 2021-09-03

Added

• Added OS.detectPlatform(Function<String, String> systemProperty, Function<String, String> environmentVariable)

[3.4.1] - 2021-08-21

Fixed

• Mac tables with a checkbox column now size the rest of their columns correctly. (#14)

[3.4.0] - 2021-07-17

Added

• Support for Apple Silicon in the OS, Arch, and SwtPlatform classes. (#13)
• Added DropTargetEvent support to SwtDebug.
• Added LinkBtn.create.

[3.3.1] - 2020-01-13

Fixed

• Improved javadoc publishing (though SWT is still broken)

[3.3.0] - 2019-11-02

• Added FlatBtn.setBackground and FlatBtn.setSelection.
• Added Shells.dontSetPositionOrSize and Shells.setCloseOnEscape.
• Shells now reposition themselves if they were going to open offscreen.
• Shells no longer set their image on Mac, so that they don't hijack the dock icon.
• Added ControlWrapper.transparent for efficiently passing Control to ControlWrapper.
• Added ControlWrapper.setParent which is a pure delegation to Control.setParent.
• Improved StructuredDrop.handler.
• Added SwtMisc.globalBounds for ControlWrapper.
• SwtDebug.dumpEvent is now null-safe.

[3.2.1] - 2019-08-07

• Added a non-coat version of RadioGroup.
• Fixed Shells.openOnActive() to take advantage of Shells.active().

[3.2.0] - 2019-04-29

• Fonts.systemLarge() was hardcoded to 12 points. This worked well on standard DPI windows, but was actually smaller than the normal font on retina mac. Now adds 33% to the normal size, which exactly matches the previous behavior on Windows, but works better on other platforms.
• Added SwtMisc.getSystemCursor and getSystemIcon.
• Added Shells.dontOpen which makes it possible to create a shell that doesn't open.
• Added Shells.active which finds the currently active shell.

[3.1.1] - 2019-04-24

• Fixed a bug in StructuredDrop which caused dragLeave events to get swallowed.

[3.1.0] - 2019-01-02

• Shells now detects the monitor using the center of the proposed bounds, rather than the top-left.
• Added StructuredDrag.copyToClipboard() and StructuredDrop.pasteFromClipboard() (#2).
• Reduced noise in InteractiveTest failures.
• Added ImageDescriptors.getFromPool().

• Fix StructuredDrop for files when executing multiple drags from the desktop.

[3.0.0] - 2018-08-01

• Extracted the com.diffplug.common.swt.os package into its own jar with no dependencies, published to com.diffplug.durian:durian-swt.os.
• Added com.diffplug.durian:durian-swt.{SWT_PLATFORM_CODE} for each of win x86, win x64, linux x86, linux x64, mac x64.
  • Only used for SmoothTable, if you don't use SmoothTable then you don't need the platform-specific jar.

• Added useful DnD stuff to com.diffplug.common.swt.dnd.
• Added useful widgets to com.diffplug.common.swt.widgets.

[3.0.0.BETA2] - 2017-03-08

• Added TypedDataField for storing strongly-typed data into widgets.
• Added SwtExec.guardOn(DisposableEar ear).
• InteractiveTest.setResult() can now be called from any thread, and the user can pass any exception.
• Implemented scheduleAtFixedRate and scheduleWithFixedDelay for SwtExec and SwtExec.Guarded.
• Improved CoatMux's reliability.
• Deprecated SwtMisc.requestLayout.

[3.0.0.BETA] - 2017-02-07

• SwtExec.Guarded is now a GuardedExecutor.
• Added SwtRx.disposableEar().

• Added Corner.getPosition(Control | ToolItem).
• Added Shells.setAlpha(int alpha).

[3.0.0.ALPHA] - 2016-11-11

• Bumped RxJava to 2.0, and dealt with some initial fallout from that change.

[2.0.0] - 2016-07-13

• Introduced the SwtThread annotation to mark that a method is only safe to use from an SWT thread.
• Added SwtExec.swtOnly() as a high-performance, non-thread-safe version of SwtExec.immediate() (thanks to David Karnok).
• Renamed Shells.openOnAndBlock() to Shells.openOnBlocking().
• SwtScheduler now honors the Scheduler/Worker contracts (thanks to David Karnok).
• ColumnFormat and ColumnViewerFormat now expose all their data through getters.
• Fallout from 2.0 bump of durian-rx.

[1.7.0] - 2016-04-06

• Upgraded Eclipse/SWT dependencies from Luna SR2 to Mars.2 (4.4.2 to 4.5.2).
• Changed SwtDebug event names to their 4.5-based names.
• InteractiveTest can now pass/fail itself automatically, for self-testing gui tests.
• Added SwtRx.combo() methods for reactive control of combo boxes.
• Added SwtMisc.requestLayout(), which is backported from Eclipse Neon. It will be deprecated when Neon comes out.

[1.6.0] - 2016-02-09

• Ditched Guava for DurianGuava.

[1.5.1] - 2015-12-30

• Fixed a bug in OS.calculateNative on linux x86 systems that report their os.arch as i386.

[1.5.0] - 2015-12-11

• Added Actions.setCallback, which allows behavior based on the actual IAction which ends up being created.
• Added SwtMisc.copyEvent().
• Added SwtMisc.withGcRun and SwtMisc.withGcCompute, which allows quick access to a GC for e.g. computing the size of some text.

[1.4.0] - 2015-11-18

• SwtExec.Guarded::subscribe now supports CompletionStage and CompletableFuture, in support of improvements made to DurianRx 1.2.0.
• Added SwtMisc.setFlag().
• Added JFaceRx, which exposes JFace properties as RxJava observables.

[1.3.0] - 2015-10-19

• Changed OSGi metadata Bundle-SymbolicName to com.diffplug.durian.swt.
• OSGi metadata is now auto-generated using bnd.
• Added ColumnViewerFormat.ColumnBuilder::setFinalSetup() which allows us to get the ViewerColumn object and setup something such as a CellEditor on it.
• ColumnViewerFormat no longer requires a LabelProvider, since we might set that stuff up in setFinalSetup().
• Fixed a bug in Shells which caused windows to always open on the primary monitor.
• Actions is now based on runWithEvent() rather than run(). This allows implementors to get the Event which is causing the action to fire, which can allow more detailed actions to be taken.

[1.2.0] - 2015-09-14

• Major improvement to the CoatMux API.
• Added ColorPool.getSystemColor(int systemColor) so that ColorPool can be your one-stop-shop for getting colors.
• Added some methods to SwtMisc:
  • Shell rootShell(Control control)
  • void forEachDeep(Composite root, Consumer<Control> ctlSetter)
  • void setForegroundDeep(Composite root, Color foreground)
  • void setBackgroundDeep(Composite root, Color background)
  • Rectangle globalBounds(Control control)
  • Rectangle toDisplay(Control control, Rectangle rect)
  • Optional<Monitor> monitorFor(Point p)
• Fixed SwtMisc.setEnabledDeep() - it now skips Composites which haven't been subclassed.
• Fixed SwtRx.toggle() now works with radio buttons.
• Fixed Shells so that the dialogs it creates don't automatically close on escape, and so that they are better about opening on-screen.

[1.1.1] - 2015-07-27

• Gah! MANIFEST.MF still had -SNAPSHOT version. Fixed now. Would be really nice if we could get MANIFEST.MF generation working.

[1.1] - 2015-07-26

• Fixed a linux-specific bug in Shells.openOnActive().
• Fixed an NPE in Shells.openOnActive().
• Made InteractiveTest.testShellWithoutHandle() a little more forgiving.

[1.0] - 2015-05-13

• First stable release.
