* doc/hacking.texi: Added new sections to menu.
(Source Files): New section.
(Developer Resources): New section.
* doc/macros.texi (mocha,chai,easejs,gplv3): New macros for common links.
Before this change, since `undefined' is encoded as `null' when serialized,
there was no way for the server to disambiguate between unmodified values
and a truncation point. For example:
[ undefined, undefined, null, null, null ]
The above array represents two unmodified and three removed indexes. But
this is serialzed into JSON as:
[ null, null, null, null, null ]
It isn't possible for the server to determine what the truncation point is
from that diff. The solution is to therefore truncate the array _before_
sending it to the server, providing a trailing null to indicate that a
truncation has occurred:
[ null, null, null ]
The above means that the first two indexes are unmodified, and that index 2
and later should all be truncated.
* doc/client.texi (Saving to Server): New section.
* src/client/transport/XhttpQuoteTransport.js (_truncateDiff): New method to
perform truncation.
(getBucketDataJson): Use it.
* test/client/transport/XhttpQuoteTransportTest.js: New file with respective
test case.
Useful for random historical facts that give useful context for developers
of Liza. It hopefully helps to mitigate some of the issues of Theory
Building as noted by Peter Naur.
* doc/liza.css: Refactor some styles to make them more concise.
(.trivia): Add styling.
* doc/macros.texi (trivia): Add macro.
The primary motivation behind this change was documentation of
links. Developers (including myself---it's been a while) misinterpreted
then as references to existing groups, not arbitrary names.
* doc/program.texi (Defining Groups): New section.
(Group Styles): Reference to new section.
* doc/liza.css: Each of the entities below may have additional selectors
following them, not listed here.
(.doc-notice.dev): Renamed to `.devnotice'.
(.doc-notice.devnotice, .doc-notice.devnote): New classes.
* doc/macros.texi (devnotice): {dev=>devnotice} @noticestart argument.
(devnote): New macro.
This represents a portion of the refactoring that I had intended to do
until I realized that there was a simpler solution to the problem that
we were having (having proguic add stored calculated values to the
defaults object).
So ideally we'll continue extracting all quote init code out of
`Server' and into `ProgramInit' in the future.
* doc/server.texi (Liza Server): Mention `ProgramInit'.
* src/program/ProgramInit.js: Add class.
* src/server/DocumentServer.js: Use it.
* src/server/Server.js (_progInit): Add private field.
(__construct): Accept ProgramInit instance and assign to field.
(initQuote): Use promise returned by `_getDefaultBucket'.
(_getDefaultBucket): Proxy to `ProgramInit#init', which returns a
promise.
What a cluster.
This was a lot of work to work around existing, bad APIs; there is no
time to refactor at the moment; this already took much longer than
expected.
* assert.texi, bucket.texi, client.texi, pred.texi, program.texi,
validation.texi: New files.
* design.texi: Extract text into above.
* liza.texi: Add @menu references and @include each new file.
Copyright notices updated. More casual references to "LoVullo
Associates" replaced with "RT Specialty / Lovullo", which will be "RT
Specialty Buffalo" in the future. Or "RT Specialty", depending on how
this is rolled out. Or "Ryan Specialty Group". Who knows.
"R-T Specialty, LLC." is the legal name, which includes the dash. Not
to be confused with a certain television network.
