I'm trying to get these round-ups to actually appear
weekly, as opposed to the ad-hoc nature they're
currently running to, so from now on I'll be posting
weekly round-ups on or around Wednesday. Probably.
Okay, a quick summary of what's been happening these
last few days:
I'd wanted to get Dev. Release 1 out this week but
the 'subscript error' bug in Alpha 9 has meant holding fire
on releasing it until this could be solved, or controlled at
the very least. I've now been able to replicate the
problem (source seems to be the Network shelf addon)
on a Win98 box so it shouldn't be too hard to fix.
Testing on the Win98 box also showed up some problems
with the early startup process and XTK detection.
These have now been resolved, although it's a bit of a
hack, so I'll be looking to tidy this code up in time for
dev #1 as well.
The ISimpleEventHandler interface has been reworked
and is now called INotificationHandler instead - quite a
bit has changed here (for the better) and you can read
more about this in a separate update.
Finally, some good news - iceFire shelf AddOns are now
supported in the menubar! They sit quite happily
alongside their newer IShelfAddOn-based counterparts;
just drop them into the AddOns folder and they'll be
loaded up automatically. Hoorah!
