Changes in new "Oslo" CTP

I have tried to run my "Oslo" applications and samples in "Oslo" January 2009 SDK CTP.  In this post, I want to share some changes I’ve observed.   

Intellipad

1. new icon :)
2. menu M Mode:  Semantic Graph position has been removed
3. better validation (f.e file with only extents isn't valid)
4. MScriptMode:  keyword highlighting 

 

 Visual Studio

1. "M" project: different sample implementation (without explicit extent definition)
2.  "M" project compilation: invocation of "M" compiler isn't shown

 

 

 Repository

Some schemas have been renamed: f.e [Document] -> [System.Document],  [Item] -> [Repository].[Item]

 MGrammar

1. .mgx image:  DynamicParser (XAML) -> DynamicParserFactory (XAML)
2. API changes:  some methods or classes have been removed or replaced by others, f.e  MGrammarCompiler -> LoadParserFromMgx, DynamicParser -> ParseObject, MGrammarCompiler -> GenerateM, TermGraphAdapter, ParserBase
3. VS project: compiling to resource  - <MgTarget>MgxResource</MgTarget>
4. Parsing .NET application: loading parser from Mgx image - changes 

static DynamicParser LoadLanguageFromAssembly(string lang)
{
    var dp = DynamicParser.LoadFromResource("ParseNetMeeting", lang);          
                
    return dp;            
}

static void Parse(string input)
{
    DynamicParser language = LoadLanguageFromAssembly("NetCommunity.NM");

    object result = language.Parse<object>(input, null, ErrorReporter.Standard);

    IGraphBuilder graphBuilder = new GraphBuilder();
            
    foreach (object meeting in graphBuilder.GetSuccessors(result))
    {
        //Walking MGraph 
    }
}

More advanced Microsoft samples don't compile f.e MWindow, Person, Spork. I wait for new versions of them ....
