Changed paths:
M /offlineimap/head/offlineimap/ui/TTY.py
Due to possibly having one account sleep while another is reading a
password, and other tricky situations, support for nice updating and
cancelling of a sleep in TTY.TTYUI has been removed.
However, this is not going to be a huge problem because the new Curses
Blinkenlights interface has this support, and does it a lot better than
TTY.TTYUI ever could have.

More fine-tunning. Looks like using the grid manager is helping out.

Reworked the canvas.
Before, problem was the label and buttons to the right of the lights would
make the window too wide. When the button got added, the window would get
even wider. That was because the canvas would not shrink.
My workaround is to use a separate canvas for each light. Seems to be OK
here....

More visual tweaking. The Button doesn't seem to be working well, so I'm
going to try a MenuButton.

Changed paths:
M /offlineimap/head/offlineimap/ui/Tk.py
Fixed up the VerboseUI for new account system. All that really needed
updating with the "Sync immediately" button, to cope with syncing different
accounts at different times. It's better now.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
rev 314: jgoerzen | 2003-01-06 09:58:29 -0600 (Mon, 06 Jan 2003) | 16 lines
Changed paths:

M /offlineimap/head/offlineimap/ui/Blinkenlights.py
M /offlineimap/head/offlineimap/ui/Curses.py
M /offlineimap/head/offlineimap/ui/debuglock.py
More locking updates.
Introduced a new MultiLock to threadutil. This lock will let a single
thread acquire the same lock more than once, keeping track of how many times
this happens, and will release the actual lock only when the lock's
lock count gets back to zero.
By using MultiLock, various functions in Curses.py and Blinkenlights.py no
longer need to pass around to other functions a parameter indicating whether
or not a lock should be obtained. This was a large cause of complexity and
errors, which is now eliminated.
Everything seems to be working properly wrt locking at this point. The
Curses.Blinkenlights interface has achieved basic working functionality.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
rev 313: jgoerzen | 2003-01-06 08:41:14 -0600 (Mon, 06 Jan 2003) | 3 lines
Changed paths:
M /offlineimap/head/offlineimap/mbnames.py
Just to be sure, since it could be called by multiple threads, genmbnames
will not lock itself.

Updated the mbnames recorder to bring it back up-to-date with the new
account-centric system. It will now gather reports from account sync
threads, and when it has all that it's supposed to, it'll write out the
file.

A /offlineimap/head/offlineimap/ui/debuglock.py
Added some temporary debug code to help weed out a few race conditions with
the curses Blinkenlights interface. Think I've finally got it. I'm leaving
the debugging code in for now, though, to help in case there are future
problems.

More progress at debugging. The curses blinkenlights is now working well,
though it still has an occasional tendency to corrupt the light display with
comments from the log. I suspect a locking problem -- need to be more
strict with iolock I suspect.
Updated various modules to register the threads' account names, etc.
