Moving to CMake

Before releasing a version of Toucan on Linux the build system needed cleaning up. Rather than create projects on Windows and writing makefiles on Linux I decided to use a proper build system.

hey guys, just to let you all know, due to some circumstances I'm cutting my self off from the internet just for a little bit, I just have some personal issues that I have to fix and they can't fixed until I cut myself off of the internet, don't worry it's nothing serious but it's serious enough to affect my walk with God as a Christian.

The Command Line

The other main weak point in Toucan is the command line interface, mainly because it breaks, a lot. So whilst reworking the scripting system I also decided to redo the command line interface.

To take advantage of the new scripting system the new command line interface is a front end to the script system itself, for example to enter a script you do the following:

toucan --script="print(2 * 10)"

Introduction

So, I was going to write a speech, and I really like using Geany for all my writing needs. However, my spelling is horrendous. (Its a confirmed fact on IRC, ask just about anybody.) So, I needed spell check. How to go about it? Well, here we go:

1. Download the plugin package from here. A direct link to the package you need.

The first Blender Foundation release has hit our shores. It is Alpha 0 and from what I have read we will have an Alpha 2, Beta 2, Beta 3 and Beta 4 before a full release of 2.60 sometime mid to late next year.

As such I am already looking at the new file structure and the new .blog file for recent files. Definately requires me to update my launcher and at some point I will be considering some private tesing of the code.

Some time over the last couple of days Toucan hit 750,000 downloads! Thanks to everyone who has downloaded and used it, especially the beta testers and translators. More exciting news about Toucan and the future coming soon

This page is mainly for me to note down ideas that I have, which will be mainly about the PortableApps.com Launcher, PortableApps.com Installer and similar related things (I can't help with the Platform yet so I won't try to offer suggestions). I'll continue to update this page as I develop code for my ideas and as I come up with more ideas. Feel free to comment on the ideas.
