Adobe Source Libraries 1.0.23 is libraries software developed by Adobe Systems, Inc..
For those of you in the C++ development community, Adobe Systems has just reopened opensource.adobe.com.
In it you will find a slew of free software that culminates in two libraries: Eve, a dialog auto-layout engine, and Adam, a command parameter modeling engine to manage the complex behaviors of modern-day dialogs.
There's also an app called Adobe Begin which demonstrates the two technologies (currently for the Mac only). It is claimed in the library overview that the techonology could solve as much as 40% of major Adobe application bugs (sic)!

And now it's available to the open source community for free!

What's New:

  • Adam (property_model):
  • API names are being refactored to reflect a model-centric view of the MVC system
  • Rename set_model_value to attach_setter
  • Rename monitor to set_model_value
  • Deferring token initialization to first use (removing from static time)
  • Using external polymorphism (view_t) for views instead of using signals

  • ASL:
  • FLTK support has been dropped
  • Changed the type of the lex and the xml parser to take unsigned char* pointers instead of char*; this permits std::isspace, et al, to work without needing a cast
  • Adding const declarations to file_slurp's empty() and size()
  • Added adobe/localization.hpp, a resource registrar/provider of localization strings

  • Widgets:
  • Adding adobe::debounce_t as a general standalone header
  • Fix for win32 image_t implementation to get the new targa code working
  • Fix for sf.net bug 1533374: Icons not drawing properly
  • Fix for sf.net bug 1533440: empty_containers tab group not wide enough
  • Fix for sf.net bug 1533240: Win32 Clicking in page of trackbar breaks inequality example
  • Fixing up edit_number handling when not bound to any item
  • adobe::popup_t has been pulled from client_assembler and put into its own set of standalone sources
  • Fix for sf.net bug 1530593: text wrap broken in win32
  • Created adobe/future/carbon, a directory with some utilities that came out of the widgets work that might be useful elsewhere.
  • Moving carbon event handler to adobe/future/carbon
  • Altering adobe::labelt_t::name_m on win32 so it measures properly
  • Transparent scrubby sliders for Carbon edit_number fields. We still need to be able to specify the min, init and max bounds in the eve definition, though
  • Added increment support for edit_number widgets via the arrow keys (specified by increment in the eve declaration)

  • GIL:
  • Moved multimedia GIL documeentation to the //media/... depot.

    Requirements:
  • darwin gcc 3.3.x or later (gcc 4 [Tiger] supported with XCode 2.2 and the Universal SDK).
    This development program is freeware, so you can download and use it absolutely free. Adobe Source Libraries 1.0.23 supports different languages (including english). It works with Mac OS X.

    Downloading Adobe Source Libraries 1.0.23 will take minute if you use fast ADSL connection.
