It’s like Christmas in December!
After many months, I finally had a chance to do some work on Deja IIx. Check out the release notes for all the details.
The biggy: Transcendental functions work again. Yes, you get transcendental functions again and you don’t have to give up the TimeOut Calculator for it. I’ve made some changes so that inverse uppercase displays correctly in the WP (when you use ctrl-T).
Other goodies, PageUp/PageDown/Home/End are all mapped to the AW equivalents. Home/End follow the PC metaphor of beginning/end of line (rather than the Mac’s beginning/end of document).
A bunch of User Interface changes to simplify things.
Drawing of the text display is handled a little differently than before. This results in a small increase in the percent of the processor that gets used (tops off around 14% or less when idle), but still a lot less than the 99% that the Deja ][ 1.2 uses when idle.
Most (non-graphics) TimeOut apps should work.
I’ve tested it under 10.3.9, 10.4.11, and 10.5.1.
Soon, I might even call this a beta!
Latest Release: Deja IIx 2.0a24
