* Pulled from v2_release * Refactor migration guide for Terminal.Gui v2 Restructured and expanded the migration guide to provide a comprehensive resource for transitioning from Terminal.Gui v1 to v2. Key updates include: - Added a Table of Contents for easier navigation. - Summarized major architectural changes in v2, including the instance-based application model, IRunnable architecture, and 24-bit TrueColor support. - Updated examples to reflect new patterns, such as initializers replacing constructors and explicit disposal using `IDisposable`. - Documented changes to the layout system, including the removal of `Absolute`/`Computed` styles and the introduction of `Viewport`. - Standardized event patterns to use `object sender, EventArgs args`. - Detailed updates to the Keyboard, Mouse, and Navigation APIs, including configurable key bindings and viewport-relative mouse coordinates. - Replaced legacy components like `ScrollView` and `ContextMenu` with built-in scrolling and `PopoverMenu`. - Clarified disposal rules and introduced best practices for resource management. - Provided a complete migration example and a summary of breaking changes. This update aims to simplify the migration process by addressing breaking changes, introducing new features, and aligning with modern .NET conventions. * Refactor to use Application.Instance for lifecycle management Replaced all occurrences of `ApplicationImpl.Instance` with the new `Application.Instance` property across the codebase to align with the updated application lifecycle model. Encapsulated the `ApplicationImpl` class by making it `internal`, ensuring it is no longer directly accessible outside its assembly. Introduced the `[Obsolete]` `Application.Instance` property as a backward-compatible singleton for the legacy static `Application` model, while encouraging the use of `Application.Create()` for new code. Updated `MessageBox` methods to use `Application.Instance` for consistent modal dialog management. Improved documentation to reflect these changes and emphasize the transition to the instance-based application model. Performed code cleanup in multiple classes to ensure consistency and maintainability. These changes maintain backward compatibility while preparing the codebase for the eventual removal of the legacy `ApplicationImpl` class. * Fix doc bug * - Removed obsolete `.cd` class diagram files. - Introduced `IRunnable` interface for decoupling component execution. - Added fluent API for running dialogs and retrieving results. - Enhanced `View` with `App` and `Driver` properties for better decoupling. - Improved testability with support for mock and real applications. - Implemented `IDisposable` for proper resource cleanup. - Replaced `RunnableSessionStack` with `SessionStack` for session management. - Updated driver architecture to align with the new model. - Scoped `IKeyboard` to application contexts for modularity. - Updated documentation with migration strategies and best practices. These changes modernize the library, improve maintainability, and align with current development practices.
Terminal.Gui Tests
This folder contains the tests for Terminal.Gui.
./UnitTests
This folder contains the unit tests for Terminal.Gui that can not be run in parallel. This is because they
depend on Application or other class that use static state or ConfigurationManager.
We should be striving to move as many tests as possible to the ./UnitTestsParallelizable folder.
./UnitTestsParallelizable
This folder contains the unit tests for Terminal.Gui that can be run in parallel.
./IntegrationTests
This folder contains the integration tests for Terminal.Gui.
./StressTests
This folder contains the stress tests for Terminal.Gui.
./PerformanceTests
This folder WILL contain the performance tests for Terminal.Gui.
See the Testing wiki for details on how to add more tests.
