- NSObject helpers for sync/async calls using GCD were deprecated as it just makes things slower
- NSObjectIsEmpty() was deprecated because it was lazy and made things slower
For enums, place case at end instead of in middle. For example: IRCClientConnectNormalMode turns into IRCClientConnectModeNormal
For constant strings, when appropriate, use an extensible string enum. Either one of those from Foundation (NSNotificationName, NSErrorDomain) or typedef our own.
• Added TLOLocalization.swift which is a Swift implementation of the localization system. TXTLS() and its sister functions are bridged to this implementation.
• The TLOLanguagePreferences class no longer exists. This class was used only as a convenience to TXTLS() and its sister functions. I don't know of any and/or why a plugin may access these, so they were not deprecated.
• The TLOLanguagePreferences files have been renamed to TLOLocalization as the latter better suites its purpose.
Many resources have been added to Textual with little thought for long term maintenance. This commit is an overdue overhaul of the entire project. The goals of this overhaul was to introduce as much consistency as possible to the project.
Some notable changes:
• Code signing identity file has moved to "Configurations/Build"
• All build configuration files, including entitlements, moved to "Configurations"
• Source code for the app has moved to "Sources/App"
• Shared source code has moved to "Sources/Shared"
• Source code for extensions have moved to "Sources/Plugins"
• The project file for the app has moved along with its source code. It's recommended to use the Textual.xcworkspace workspace file.
• Build scripts are no longer packaged within the project files.
• Folders are now used throughout most projects instead of groups.
• Removed a lot of redundant framework linking.
• The preference panel sample plugin has been modified to use standard Cocoa facilities instead of those that are project specific. e.g. NSUserDefaults and NSLog() instead of TPCPreferencesUserDefaults and LogToConsole()
