- PropertyObject: remove additional "values" member again
- don't create entry lists for <list>, <select>, and <combo> at dialog
creation and delete them on dialog close, but let a separate class
fgValueList handle this. The three widgets are now subclassed and the
derived widget lets fgValueList manage the lists
- make <select> consistent with <list>. This breaks backwards
compatibility, but not a single dialog in fgfs uses it and did so
since ... forever. (Shoot me!)
Rationale: now that dialogs are a bit more dynamic than they used to be
(thanks to embedded Nasal), we have to delete and recreate entry lists
during dialog use. Deleting only at dialog closing doesn't cut it anymore.
Especially list widgets that are updated several times per second would
use up a lot of memory otherwise. The route-manager doesn't update that
often, but it did already leak. One TODO less. :-)
"Preparations for an upgrade to Air-to-Air Refuelling to allow more than one
tanker in the environment at a time. This will only work with YASim models.
JSBSim models are unaffected by this change."
The ufo sets this to a very low value, "serious" aircraft (which don't want this
unrealistic automatism at all) set it to a very high value, and those that don't
care ... don't need to care.
signals, this is meant for attaching listeners. The ufo will use that to
hide/reveal the status line in screenshots. The following signal properties
are now available:
/sim/signals/exit ... set to 1 right before quitting
/sim/signals/reinit ... set to 1 on re-init (Shift-Esc)
/sim/signals/screenshot ... set to 1 before and to 0 after screenshot
/sim/signals/click ... set to 1 after mouse clicks at terrain, signalling
that the geo coords in /sim/input/click/ were updated
I've got some updates for the soaring scenario that will make for a more
realistic (and fun) experience. They are:
1) A cap cloud, which will sit atop each thermal
2) A thermal scenario with wide coverage around KSFO, and using cap clouds
3) A one-line change to AIThermal.cxx to position cap cloud properly
4) Schweizer 2-33 set file change to match cloud coverage with thermal
heights.

only used by the <list> widget. It allows to "dialog-update" the list,
which rescans the <value> children and redraws the list widget with new
contents. The old contents are only freed at dialog close, which should
eventually get changed.
two almost identical functions for these methods. It only forces to repeat
the redundancy for every small change to either.
- abstract out generation and destruction of plib string arrays
- abstract out generation of lists from <value> children
used in dialog.cxx to allow XML dialogs access to their own prop tree via
Nasal's cmdarg(). That way dialogs can generate dynamic content, such as
list entries.
- only call globals->set_initial_waypoints() if the waypoints list address
has actually changed, that is: if it has just been initialized
- remove trailing spaces
- fix indentation
but got changed so that Nasal listeners wouldn't be triggered needlessly.
Doesn't make sense, though, as Nasal will never be available before the
video size is set, and it prevents the window interface from setting the
startup size.)

be removed once fgfs officially depends on a plib version that includes
the fix)
- fix (very unlikely) crash in case the widget is redrawn between list
destruction and setting of the new list.
