TS errors & Node-metadata

[Lofton Henderson <lofton@rockynet.com>]

All --

I am preparing an update to the 2.1 Test Suite, fixing any known bugs, and 
(mostly) removing tests associated with those "at risk" features that 
didn't make it into the final standards.  Attached is an in-progress 
releaseNotes.html, listing what I have so far.

Does anyone know of any other 2.1 TS bugs?

Last summer we had a dialog [1] about a bug you found in the attribute 
count of Node-metadata.  As far as I can tell, it is fixed in the 2.0 
subset of the last-published TS version [2], despite the misleading 
implication in the Release Notes of that ([2]) TS version.  See 
Node-metadata.htm.  Can you please confirm that the Node-metadata test is 
correct in [2]?  (For completeness, I have included the link to the 
previous 2.0 TS [3], where the error is apparently present.)

Thanks,
-Lofton.

Title: Release Notes for WebCGM 2.1 TS

Release Notes

WebCGM 2.1 Test Suite

---

XX April 2010

Here are the tests that have changed since the previous publication.

Specific changes since the previous version:

• Bug fixed: bug has been reported in rotateAnimation: the rotation point and the query results should be NVDC.
• transformXCF removed; aciLineAttr, aciEdgeAttr edited to remove LineTypeCont, EdgeTypeCont subtests; aciHatchStyleDef removed.
  • edit 21-TOC.html to remove links to associated tests.
  • put the old dead tests' files (unlinked) in a subdirectory "removed", prefaced by NA- (not applicable), and with readMe.txt file to explain.
• Node-metadata.html needs fixing? (LH cmmt: I think it's done.)

05 October 2009

More than half of the tests have had changes -- corrections and improvements -- since the previous publication. Please consult the documentation header of the test's HTML file to determine whether it has changed, and how. (Or compare its date in the ZIP file to the below previous publication date.)

Specific changes since the previous version:

• following TS freeze for publication, a bug has been reported in rotateAnimation: the rotation point and the query results should be NVDC.
• setGetFillOffset has been removed and replaced with the new test setGetFillOffset2, which isolates the feature-under-test better.
• spXCF is a new test that tests XCF-interface access to the new Style Property features of 2.1.
• transformXCF is a new test that tests XCF-interface access to the new transform features of 2.1.

In addition, note:

• an error is reported and confirmed in the 2.0 test, Node-metadata.html.

02 July 2009

This first public release of the full 2.1 test suite (webcgm21-ts-20090702.zip) incorporates the add-on module of 2.1-specific tests, integrated with the long-standing public release versions of the WebCGM 2.0 Test Suite.

A number of anomolies should be observed, which are planned for correction in future releases:

• See the Test versions discussion, about the tests' "'ProfileEd"' identifiers, in Overview.html.
• There are formal errors in some of the older CGMs, but the tests are good and useful. ("Formal errors" means that the MetaCheck verifier will declare violations of rules of WebCGM and/or CGM:1999, but the nature of those violations would not affect any known viewer implementation.)
• See the "Caveats" section of Overview.html.
• The 2.0 test bug of this email thread is has been fixed in the node-metadata test.
