Development snapshot of JES 5.0. (The final release of JES 5.0 is expected in August 2014.)

  • Supervisor: Mark Guzdial
  • Primary Developer: Matthew Frazier
  • Contributors: Christine Alvarado

Changes in Alpha 4

  • Made the entire JES startup sequence threadsafe.
  • Renamed setLibPath to addLibPath (leaving behind a compatibility alias).
  • Fixed error messages that display during load.
  • Fixed the insertion point disappearing from the Command Window occasionally (such as when pickAFile() is called).
  • Fixed bug that prevented the skins of the Watcher and Help panels from changing with the rest of the application.
  • Fixed newlines sometimes not appearing when return values are printed.
  • Adjusted appearance of the Watcher to look nice on non-Metal skins.
  • Added new themes for the Command Window.
  • Added a --jython switch to JESstartup that invokes Jython directly.
  • Added a JESEnvironment.{sh,bat} file that can be used to customize the Java VM.
  • Added the OS version to the version message.
  • Rewrote the about, introduction, and bug report dialogs to have more information.
  • Cleaned up the session wraparound setting, so that the code lives in Pixel instead of JESConfig.
  • Removed a bunch of old, unused Python files.

The full changelog from JES 4.3 is given in jes/help/JESChangelog.txt.
