File Release Notes and Changelog
Notes:
This software release sweeps up a series of software
improvements conducted during the past 12 months. Only minor
changes have been required for Debrief in the last year, none
worthy of updating the software to Debrief 2004. It's all change
now though. We're currently investigating switching to the
Eclipse user interface framework (www.eclipse.org), which will
make the creation of Debrief add-ins much easier and quicker.
It will also be easier to transform Debrief into a fresh application,
should your requirement be so. An updated Debrief using the
new interface should be available in the first quarter of 2005,
with a further update containing new functionality in the second
quarter. Thanks to the Royal Navy for this support.
