Datetime or timestamp?

Bajusz Tamás (btami) said he was a little confused about datetime/timestamp in schema.sxw and in scripter timestamp is preferred, but datetime is used in sample.gsd. Reinhard Müller (Reinhard) explained he had only looked at the xsl files - they had datetime (some of them also had timestamp IIRC). He promised to change datetime to timestamp.

Bajusz noticed he was testing appserver on XP with firebird and got an error:

DB000: File "c:\python23\lib\xmlrpclib.py", line 742, in close
DB000: raise Fault(**self._stack[0])
DB000: xmlrpclib.Fault: <Fault 1: "exceptions.Exception:Database returned invalid value '<DateTimeDelta object for '19:00:00.00' at c88e30>' for property 'address_meettime'">

He was running sample.gfd's <Show record>. Address_meettime column type in the database was time, with kinterbasedb driver. Reinhard said that other dbdrivers return an object of type DateTime for time columns, kinterbasedb seems to return a DateTimeDelta. He committed a fix for this.

Form bug fix

Reinhard Müller (Reinhard) noticed that when he changes a field in a form and then *without* moving the focus away from the changed field he commits the record, then the diskette icon doesn't grey out after committing. A similar effect is that after deleting a record, the commit button remains greyed out and one has to jump to another record to make the button active to be able to commit at all. After a small discussion with jcater, fixes to GFInstance.py and GFForm.py were committed.

Misc topics discussed before release Bajusz Tamás

Reinhard Müller (Reinhard) announced that Bajusz Tamásinstalled successfully on windows. IMHO we can do releases as soon as jbailey confirms that debian packages are ok. Jeff Bailey (jbailey) said his biggest problem was that the pre-release version numbers are older than the numbering that I used (because I did 0.5.1.20031001). So it's quite difficult for me to test them. So I'm inclined to ask you guys to just release, and we'll run with it. It appears 0.5.1.20031001 is greater than 0.5.1.99-pre2. Reinhard asked Jeff to confirm that doing the debs runs ok with the tarballs i.e. that we didn't forget a file or something like that. After some time, an interesting problem appeared: gnue-forms-wxgtk: executable-not-elf-or-script ./usr/share/doc/gnue-forms/examples/intro/PigLatinPublicDomain.txt. Reinhard agreed that a lot of files have the executable bit set that shouldn't IMHO like COPYING and ChangeLog, and INSTALL, and NEWS. Decision was taken to ignore this at the moment, but fix it in all the CVSs in the next few weeks. No other errors were noticed.

On Sunday, Reinhard announced, that 0.5.2 releases are made.
