- Removed all deprecated Textual code. It is likely there are no plugins that were using this. The minimum plugin version will be bumped up just incase to force all plugins to be recompiled to load.
- Removed a bunch of macros and initialization check logic that was previously in place to protect against plugin developers trying to abuse the codebase. We need to stop caring about that because it just adds unnecessary overhead.
- Many initializers were cleaned up. -init is now expressly marked as unavailable and throws a proper exception where appropriate.
• 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.
In theory user needs Xcode 10 at minimum already, which is limited to High Sierra or later. That's because we have Swift 4.2 specific code which will not compile on Xcode 9 or earlier.
For Xcode 9 support, see stable branch (master).
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()
