BlogsToucan on Linux & Other Assorted TopicsSubmitted by Steve Lamerton on October 11, 2008 - 11:54am
Yes, I know it is more than six months since I last posted, but I thought I would (once again) try to keep you all more informed with what is going on with Toucan, so here it goes :-) So clearly 2.0 has been released since my last post, along with 2.0.1. 2.0.2 Pre-release 1 is now in testing in the beta forum, you can grab it here. This should fix the majority of the bugs in the 2..0 platform. »
A Generic Launcher . . .Submitted by OliverK on October 9, 2008 - 2:41pm
K, I haven't actually written this yet, but what do you think of a generic launcher configured via a INI? It would need to handle: I'm not worried about a splash, if I did have a splash, it'd be something similar to PortaLuanch. Any ideas? »

Let's talk about the code Applications act funny. Some of them understand where they are and where to look, regardless of their location. some of them however, get confused. And some of them act really funny. A useful bit of code . . .Submitted by OliverK on September 29, 2008 - 6:22pm

Okay, I don't really want to post this in the forums, but I figure I cn blog it here. I am currently working on ATPad; VTi; Generator; and xVideoServiceThief Actually, xVideoServiceTheif is done, I just haven't posted it yet. I talked to John about it, and he wasn't to enthused about the name. Also, its stuck in ALPHA. It works greet and all, but I think John would like for it to go into beta. Anyway, if you wants it, you can add a comment to the blog saying so, or just saying that the blog sucks, either way-it'd be nice to know someone's reading. I has a blog . . .Submitted by OliverK on September 15, 2008 - 10:32am
John gave me the developer permissions, so, now I has a blog. I know! I'll post code examples here. Cheerio! aTunes and Columba in the WorksSubmitted by Patrick Patience on March 28, 2008 - 10:54pm
After holding off on them for a while, I've finally decided to have a go at portablizing aTunes as well as Columba. TimelineSubmitted by Steve Lamerton on March 24, 2008 - 7:23am
With 2.0 Alpha 1 now out I thought I would give out a rough timeline of future developments, in chronological order :) Today/tomorrow: Spanish translation poll And then there was one!Submitted by Steve Lamerton on March 10, 2008 - 1:45pm
That's right, there is only one more major feature to be added before the first release of Toucan 2. Every major function listed as a target for the first alpha has now been added, except for previewing sync. However I have spent a lot of time working out how to best achieve this. Because of this I think it is fairly safe to say you can expect Alpha 1 in the next couple of weeks. Please check the rest of the blog for features that will be included in Alpha 1. »
