Aviators Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 DCS: Black Shark 2 Ka-50 EKRAN refactoring. refactoring?? whats? L'importante non è stabilire se uno ha paura o meno, è saper convivere con la propria paura e non farsi condizionare dalla stessa. Ecco, il coraggio è questo, altrimenti non è più coraggio ma incoscienza. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irregular programming Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 code cleanup, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msalama Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I'd like to know this too. "Code refactoring" means rewriting existing source code in order to improve its readability, reusability or structure without affecting its meaning or behaviour, but why mention it in the release notes because it's an internal process having no direct effect on end users? Or do they mean something else altogether there - and if so, what? Enquiring punters want to know :) The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.

msalama Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 code cleanup, I guess. Yeah, but it has no effect on customers so why tell us about it? The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roob Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Yeah, but it has no effect on customers so why tell us about it? Changelogs aren't necessarily just for customers :) My DCS stream [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Past broadcasts, Highlights Currently too much to do... But watch and (maybe) learn something :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msalama Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Changelogs aren't necessarily just for customers :) That's true, but every SW upgrade / rewrite I've ever been connected with / working on (an ex-SW engineer here) has always included more than what was mentioned in the changelog / readme, and I'm positive there's more than what meets the eye here as well. So why not document all that too if you're going to mention stuff like code refactoring anyway? Well OK, there's always a question of giving away trade secrets if you delve in too deep, or at least cluttering your readmes with unnecessary and / or non-pertinent info. But still... The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG14_Smil Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I think it means it is going to stop working. :smilewink: Just joking... looking forward to whatever we get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Yes, performance is the only customer-perceivable change when code is refactored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atsmith6 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I'm a programmer by trade and we regularly re-factor our code to maintain quality. Basically when you write the code, or add a feature, then sometimes (or perhaps often) you will write the code a certain way or put in a "hack" to get it working well enough to release on time. While this may be sufficient quality for that specific release it may compromise the design moving forward. Whatever the details you then re-visit that code later and re-write / reorganise the code so that it once again fits in well with the design / quality requirements. The technique was formalised as a mitigating strategy against projects where code became so complex and fractured that they eventually had to be abandoned. So in short, when I see that someone is refactoring a piece of code, that is generally a sign that the programmers take their job, and more importantly the quality, seriously. Consider me very happy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
