HbQt, HbXBP and HbIDE is back...

Hello Everybody

Let me enjoy the pleasure to announce the new home for 

HbQt, HbXBP, HbIDE, which, for good reasons, were removed 

from Harbour's repository.

Checkout: 

https://svn.code.sf.net/p/hbaddons/svn/trunk

How to get:

Create "addons" subfolder in Harbour root, as 

harbour/addons

And checkout with above link into this folder.

How to build:

Access the console as you would be accessing for Harbour.

CD to addons.

Issue: hbmk2 hbaddons.hbp -rebuild.

That's it.

The binaries will be deposited in where Harbour build deposits.

Mailing-lists for developers and users will be announced later.

I am really thankful to Maurizio, Francessco Perillo, Francesco Saverio Giudice

for their whole hearted support. SF "hbaddons" project includes 

Viktor and Przemek as Admins. 

It would important here to mention that the bug of HbIDE 

which throws GPF on EXIT on nix systems, reported by 

Przemek has been fixed. This GPF was also present on 

MSVC since begining, on all versions. The fix is materialized 

in .qth files, where I overlooked QSpacerItem, which is a 

non-QObject derived class but was being handelled as 

if it was a QObject. So, until someone comes across any such 

overlook, I can assume HbQt to be stable.

Hope to see you downloading these components...

Harbour Project - Leadership Change

"Viktor Szakáts" <harbour.01@syenar.hu> Jul 18 01:53AM +0200 ^ To All Harbourers, Now finished releasing the latest stable version into the wild I'm completing my earlier decision to resign from leading the project.

I'm glad to leave Harbour in very healthy state; it is stable, reliable, efficient and nicely put together like a hand-made Swiss watch. It reaches "enterprise" quality by many means.

In the meanwhile Harbour stayed true to all of its original goals of compatibility, standard compliance and portability. All these features qualify Harbour the best xBase infrastructure that exists now. This also means that all the plans were met that I originally had in mind when rejoined the project 5 years ago. Thanks go to the active and enthusastic developers, supporters, including family and friends who had to cope with this stuff. It's been very busy years. 

Disregarding technical aspects, there are things which could be improved though: "marketing", docs, merging the highly split userbase, "activating" the passive part of userbase, attracting new and young crowd, and dealing with shrinking developer force, probably many more. Nothing new here. 

On the technical side everyone has his/her long list of "wishes", I hope as much of it will become a reality as possible so Harbour will be able to present a true alternative to big players like Python, PHP and Ruby and maybe Java, C# even. 

Back to now. Przemek enjoys respect and trust from all participants of the Harbour community, myself included just as much or even more, so he became my top candidate for next leader of the project. Luckily, Przemek agreed to take the lead. So, I'm now handing this task to him with utmost confidence and trust. I believe his lead will do the best for the project both in technical and non-technical terms, and will set a different and better tone for the whole project whilst keeping main original goals.

I'm backing off and plan to spend much less time on Harbour than before to get on with other parts of my life. Many thanks for those who supported me throughout the years, and thanking Phil to trust Harbour on me. 

Now pls cheer Przemek. Viktor

Hi All,

Windows unified distro 3.0.0 is available
(in .exe installer and .7z archive formats):
 http://sourceforge.net/projects/harbour-project/files/binaries-windows/3.0.0/

Make sure to 'like' Harbour Project on the main page:
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/harbour-project/

CCH : Earlier post by Viktor

Hi All,

After more than 1.5 years of strong development and 3600 commits,
stable Harbour 3.0.0 version has been tagged and source packages
released. Binaries will follow, I will upload universal Windows package
as soon as it will be ready. For other platforms, I'm asking volunteers
to make the packages and upload them to sf.net file area.

Upgrade is recommended for all users.

Get 3.0.0 sources from here:
  svn export https://harbour-project.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/harbour-project/tags/harbour-3.0.0
  (note to developers: never commit into this branch)

Prepackaged sources here for both *nixes (.gz, .bz2, .xz)
and non-*nixes (.zip):
  http://sourceforge.net/projects/harbour-project/files/source/3.0.0/

Binary package builders may use above links to get the sources.

[ SVN revision of 3.0.0 is r16952, it will be shown as r16951 in
version information. ]

I've bumped trunk to 3.1.0dev, this will be the new interim
version number for mainline development.

New features and even compatibility breaker commits are
now allowed in trunk. I've already committed some such
changes, stepping up legacy level and dropping old stuff
marked for removal in previous versions.

Users of nightly builds and SVN trunk source please be
aware about above and use it more carefully than in last
6 months. It may break your build or apps. Stick with
stable release if in doubt.

To retrofit fixes to 3.0.0 for possible 3.0.1 bugfix release,
commit to this source tree:
  svn co https://harbour-project.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/harbour-project/branches/harbour-3.0

I hope this release will serve the community well and I'd
like to thank everyone contributing to create this new release.

Viktor
