World Cup

2006-06-22T10:15:00.000-07:00

Development activity on Gyrfalcon is currently on hold, will resume once the world cup ends ;)

1.1 Released

2006-05-04T07:50:00.000-07:00

1.1 is out, you can get it here

Changes
1. Highlighting
2. Fonts and font management with colors, size, favorite fonts, etc...
(hope you like it because this was really painful to implement ;) )
3. Shift note up and down in tree
4. Some bug fixes regarding deleting/renaming new clusters
5. Some internal architecture changes that should improve 2 tree performance a bit

Searching now underlines rather than highlighting text (to avoid conflicts with
other highlights)

1.02 Release

2006-04-26T13:04:00.000-07:00

Fairly minor release, primarily to fix a bug in the source distribution which was causing it
to fail. Other than that just fixed a bug with file-exit and added an icon.

A much bigger release will be coming soon (when I run it through some tests and update the manual, probably this weekend). I've been trying to put the text styling together: highlighting, variable fonts and colors, and so on... and thats just about done.

Website update

2006-04-13T05:46:00.000-07:00

Added some more information for developers to the website. In addition: the 1.02 release is ready, unfortunately Sourceforge is not cooperating at the moment :(

Assistance

2006-04-13T01:49:00.000-07:00

One more thing. I'd like to just say that any kind of assistance: be it coding, on the documentation end, suggestions, bug reports, etc... is very welcome. Gyrfalcon is in what I consider a very usable state right now, but there are a huge list of features that I'd love to add. Unfortunately my free time is somewhat limited and the only realistic way I can see to get it into the right shape in a reasonable amount of time is with collaboration. Thanks.

Getting Started

2006-04-13T01:41:00.000-07:00

Well, I just released Gyrfalcon a few days back, but it seems to have gotten picked up
by some sites and suddenly I'm getting far more downloads than I really expected at this stage.
( Not that I'm complaining mind you ;) )

One thing I'd like to talk about for a minute is the lack of proper developer resources. I've been
mostly focusing on the user side of things, and didn't think I'd really need to put together a developer, manual, description of how Gyrfalcon stores data and so on for a while now... But people seem to be interested, and its great that there are people who want to help develop Gyrfalcon so I'm going to try to get those materials in shape over the next few days.
