I'm very happy to announce that LotusScript.doc v.2 is finally done

I'm very happy to announce that LotusScript.doc v.2 is done - finally! The official point-zero release is available for immediate download. It's been a looooooooooong process and it's taken a very long time but it's finally done. You may download it here (lsdoc_200.zip).

Thanks to all those who have supported and encouraged me during the development. A very special thanks goes out to the people who donated - thank you!

Part of this release is also the website which I'm working on. The website is currently available at blog.lsdoc.org. Once everything is done it will be moved over and replace the current www.lsdoc.org. As I've mentioned before version 2 is written in Java and you may actually use the LotusScript.doc code as a general LotusScript code parser if you wish. Quite easy actually - for a sneak peek as to how to use the API see the Using the LotusScript.doc API page.

Comments as always welcome here on the blog or by e-mail to lekkim [at] lsdoc [dot] org.

<div>Bloody good job, Mikkel.</div> <div></div> <div>TYPO:
On your blog.lsdoc.org, change the first sentence (from "LotusScript aims to be for LotusScript what javadoc is for Java...") to "LotusScript.doc aims to be for LotusScript what javadoc is for Java..."</div> <div></div> <div>Cheers, Tony.</div>

I really love the new performance of lsdoc. Great job!

But I've discovered two problems:

If a constant is just an other constant, it is omitted in output. e.g.
  • Public Const ITEM_FC_CONTRACT_PARTNER = "ContractPartner" <-- is included
  • Public Const ITEM_CSN_CONTRACT_PARTNER = ITEM_FC_CONTRACT_PARTNER <-- is omitted

Nearly the same happens, if a constant consists of an other constant. e.g.
  • Public Const ITEM_FC_CONTRACT_PARTNER = "ContractPartner" <-- is included
  • Public Const ITEM_PL_CONTRACT_PARTNER = "PL_" & ITEM_FC_CONTRACT_PARTNER <-- only returns "PL_" instead of "PL_ContractPartner"

Great feedback - I'll take a look at adjusting the parsing. Thanks for the feedback on the performance - could you share some numbers? Personally I'm seeing 120-200% performance improvements.

Sure. My first guess was form hours to minutes. But for this feedback I wanted to know exactly. I already replaced old LotusScript.doc. Hence I had to set up LotusScript.doc v1.2 again.

Performance improvements are massive:
  • v1.2:    119 min
  • v2.0:    1 min
Here I measured two databases with a couple of complex LotusScript Objects. For other databases the performance increase is nearly the same: From two or three hours down to minutes!
