Just a quick heads up to tell you all that Toucan had it's 100,000th download this morning So thanks to John for the hosting, and hopefully you'll all see some more Toucan developments soon. With regards to 2.0 work it progressing slowly and the menu bar has now been scrapped!

2.0 is the next major step for Toucan. As well as including a number of much requested features it also includes a complete interface rewrite. There is one main reason that I decided a rewrite was necessary, and that was because Toucan was becoming interface limited. For example translations are fairly difficult in 1.2 because it is a fixed size interface, this has also made it very difficult to add new features, short of changing the sizes of the entire dialogue and all of its components every time I need to add a new one.

The Toucan 1.x series is where we are now in the Toucan lineage, I'll split this post into two halves, what we have in the 1.x series, and what is coming.

In the next few posts I am going to lay out the future of Toucan, in this post I am going to give a broad overview to my plans for the future. Currently development of Toucan can be summarised roughly by this diagram:

Toucan 1.x Series
1.1->1.2 (Current)-->1.2.x (Planned)->1.3(Provisional)

Toucan 2.0 Series
2.0 (Planned)

Jag är en 35 årig kille från Åtvidaberg som ska försöka hjälpa till med detta projekt.
Jag ska försöka att översätta till svenska så gott jag kan, kom gärna med förslag på hur jag ska göra eller ideer hur saker ka översättas så ska nog detta bli bra.

In this post, I will discuss Google's new product, an online spreadsheet.

Google Spreadsheets appears to be the ultimate in stand-alone portable spreadsheets. It is still in development (it is listed in the Labs section of Google's site), but it is quite stable and works well on each machine I have tested it on (including a Linux one). You can upload spreadsheets in .xls and .csv formats and edit them easily . These stay on your Google Account storage after you open them, so once uploaded from one computer, you can access them from any computer when you log into your account. Once done editing, you can save it to your Google account and then download it to a location of your choice as .xls or .csv. It preserves all formulas and works well with them. It is miles ahead of the other fonline spreadsheet, AjaxSpread. I would reccommend use of this to anyone.

I play-test Krugal and review it
