<h2>2 March 2007</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul><li>A lot of documentation done.<li>Code went through a major overhaul in February.</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>7 January 2007</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul><li>You know, I really don't want to do the documentation for this.  But I'll get around to it sometime.  Honest.<li>Finished the <a class="WikiLink" id="p-6a9dd2bc73e1d446aabf06e3b3261221719629df" href="/NotebookDemo">NotebookDemo</a>.  It's HAWT.<li>Added another function, <a href="extMask">extMask</a>, which takes an array of filenames and an extension filter ("htm|html") and return an array of the filenames that match.<li><a href="http://widget.pbwiki.com">Widget</a> can now be accessed at <a href="http://yourpbwiki.com">YourPBwiki.com</a>.  I finished all of the documentation for that, so my free time has been spread between these two projects.</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>3 January 2007</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul><li>Pushed the bug fixes out to the official version, now v.51<li>I've been working mostly on code for <a href="http://widget.pbwiki.com">http://widget.pbwiki.com</a> , which is sort of a sister project.  There should be an official version of <a href="http://widget.pbwiki.com">Widget</a> over there soon with a lot of useful functions.  A lot of awesome PBwiki hacks on the way with that.<li>The rest of the past day or so was spent discussing API security with the PBwiki guys.  Interesting stuff.</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>2 January 2007</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul><li>First off, fixed a MAJOR bug for IE users.  Because IE caches GET requests, multiple calls were not being updated, and since I test mostly on Firefox, I completely forgot about that possibility.  This fix should already be pushed out to the released version.<li>Most of my work in the past day or two has been with the Notepad-clone demo.  It should be done in another day or two, and then i'll release it over on <a href="http://non-educational.pbwiki.com">http://non-educational.pbwiki.com</a> so everyone can play.  You can still play with the old version over on the <a href="Demos">Demos</a> page.<li>A couple of other minor bug fixes.</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>31 December 2006</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul><li>All function calls and variables are now namespaced to <em>jpal</em>. For example, functions take the form <span class="box">jpal.<em>functionCall</em>(<b>parameters</b>);</span><li>Fixed a bug concerning <a href="writeFile">writeFile</a>.  It was using GET while it clearly should be using POST.  More such bugs will continue to spring up, I'm sure.<li>I've decided that although everything is namespaced, I'm not going to go the extra mile to distinguish public and private members and all that nonsense.  The reasoning for this is that I not only want it to be useful, but also to be a learning tool.  I don't want to muck the code up with all of that nonsense, and it also allows developers to hack and screw around with the library.<li>Check out this interesting little toy from me and Michael Brutsch: <a href="http://widget.pbwiki.com">Widget</a>.  He's doing most of the grunt work, while I'm just offering ideas, but the basic gist is that it's a library of some simple PBwiki specific functions that do things like 1) add buttons to the PBwiki button bar at the top of a wiki page 2) hide existing buttons 3) rename existing buttons</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>30 December 2006</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul><li>I started this page up as the library started to grow from a single xmlHTTPRequest call to an entire series of functions and calls to access the PBwiki API.<li>I'm thinking about some namespace solutions for the library, but I'm trying to decide whether it's worth it.  <a href="mailto:dochuyen84@gmail.com">Email me</a> if you have ideas or suggestions on that front.<li>I'm trying to bug David Weekly about adding a <em>callback</em> parameter to the API so that the API can be used cross-domain.  It's nearly a moot point until he makes parts of the API available to reader-level access, but I figure it'd be an important forward thinking step.  Look at my <a href="http://dochuyen.pbwiki.com/Blog">blog</a> tonight sometime for more thoughts on cross-domain scripting.<li>Slowly documenting things, but first things first, I need to comment the code better.</ul>
