The final pre-release of the next version of Toucan is now up. This has a few new features that have been requested including:

  • Language Support - The pre-release comes with German translations built-in. Just select them on the settings page.
  • Rijndael Encryption - This new mode of encryption should keep data a lot safer by appending an extension to encrypted files. It is also usually faster than the blowfish algorithm that 1.1 used. IF YOU HAVE ENCRYPTED FILES FROM 1.1 YOU MUST USE THE BLOWFISH METHOD TO DECRYPT THEM.

This is a program that loads fonts into ram and allows you to use them like system fonts. It does not modify the enviroment and does not require admin privliges. It works in OpenOffice. It doesn't work with all programs though.

Search for free fonts and drop some into Data\fonts. TrueType fonts are supported.

I've posted a launcher which I believe may fix the "Error loading pidgin.dll" issue that crops up on a small number of PCs. I've posted a test launcher that you can download and place in your PidginPortable directory. You'll then need to browse to the PidginPortable\App\Pidgin directory and rename pidgin.exe to pidgin-portable.exe.

Battle of Wesnoth

The Wesnoth Launcher is a simple launcher allowing the Battle of Wesnoth to appear in the PortableApps Menu. The Battle for Wesnoth is a turn-based strategy game with a fantasy theme. I am currently looking at a script for a complete release, but with time issues and a few snags I am releasing it like this for the time being. So those of you wanting to play it whilst incorporating it into the PortableApps.com Platform can do so.
