Serendipity Library Update 20030116

[Rob Cozens]

Hi All,

Serendipity Library Update 20030116 is now available at 
http://www.oenolog.com/ftp/serendipity_downloader.htm

The major change in this update is the addition of ClickCalendar.rev, 
a stack containing a group of controls & handlers, plus scripting 
examples & documentation for capturing & displaying dates using a 
calendar.

In addition, the following handlers were added to Serendipity Library:

*  formatDate -- a function that returns a string in system date 
format from the year, month, & day passed to it
*  futureDate -- a function testing whether a date is greater than 
the system date
*  futureTime -- a function testing whether a time is greater than 
the system time
*  getSDBComments -- a command that retrieves the Comment field of 
the current SDB database
*  setSDBComments -- a command that updates the Comment field of the 
current SDB database

As I release this update, I am aware that Shao Sean and others have 
contributed scripted calendar controls to the Revolution community. 
I don't wish to imply that there is anything lacking in the solutions 
already available.  The fact of the matter is I had a working 
HyperTalk design that was already integrated into the overall design 
of OenoLog; so I chose to use (& publish) my own.

The usual reminder: I could not make Serendipity Library available in 
multi-lingual form without the assistance of translators Jose L. 
Rodriguez Illera,  Terry Vogelaar, Yves Coppé,  Klaus Major, and YOUR 
NAME HERE [?? shameless arm twisting follows]

If you are literate in a language other than Dutch, English, French, 
German, or Spanish, you could be a part of Revolution's first 
multi-lingual community project, and possibly learn some techniques 
you can apply to make your own applications translatable & otherwise 
internationalized.  Download the Library and test its Translate
