Hello everyone, As you may heard before, Jennifer (Liebel) and me changed the current mainloop task handling. We didn't want to leave you in the dark and wanted to tell you some differences to the previous behaviour.
First of all, there are two types of tasks now. We have idle tasks, which don't have a waiting period and we have timer tasks which wait a specified amount of time. If somebody creates a new task, he has to decide the type. If it's a timer it should be given a timeout and a priority (priority list is in core/include/vcl/scheduler.hxx) and if it's an idle it only needs a priority. There is also another little optimization, because we want to get rid of the callback links, in these tasks or in more detail, get rid of the whole callback thing. So it would be awesome not to pass a link anymore, but sub-class the Timer and override the method “Invoke”. There should be filed an hack about adapting the current task priorities. Jenny and me tried to declare idle priorities without timer priorities. At one point in the future developers have to watch over these tasks, timers as well as idle and define new or better priorities. (list of almost all tasks: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/LHM_LiMux/Main_Loop#Timers_used_at_the_moment ) That is all I can think of atm. One last request of mine would be, that if someone discovers some weird behavior or some windows, that are not loading or flicker, please contact me and I will look over it and try to fix it. Because most of the time it's some dependencies among some tasks, which should be resolved.
