[DephiCodeToDoc-news] To DelphiCodeToDoc users

[TRIDENT J. <tri...@ho...>]

Dear DCTD users,

With this note, I’d like to inform you about the development of 
DelphiCodeToDoc application.
The last public revision, v0.13b, is from 2005/06/22 … 3 month old.
So, what are the news ? Will there be new revisions ? If so, what will be 
the features ?
I forecast the questions, here is some answers.

First of all, you must know that I’m developing DelphiCodeToDoc in a 
personal way, I’m not doing this software in a firm, so only my free time 
leads the development plan.
These days, I have difficulties to find time, I’m working only 1 or 2 hours 
per week on it.
I’m reassuring you,  the development is not stopped, many Trackers needs to 
be fixed.
If you have a look to CVS repository ( 
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/dephicodetodoc ), you will see that 
I’m regularly committing new revision. DelphiCodeToDoc is living !

Actually, I’m working on the dotNet Delphi syntax, which cause me troubles. 
I had rework some parts of the architecture to answer this point, and it had 
taking me many time. The goal is to finalize a revision with support for 
nested type, class variables and constants, class helper, operator overload 
etc … This functionality is done at 70%, the rest should not take many time.
Next revision v0.14b will answer the need to document code using dotNet 
Delphi syntax, plus the Tracker fixes (10 of 13). 
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=614255&group_id=96281&func=browse
This version will be done by end of this month. I take time to also write 
DUnit tests to avoid regressions.

Here is the next revision v1.0 (at last!) roadmap
* Bug fixes
* HTML link on parent object in the documentation
* @Link and @See Tag support
* Full translations update
* Add feature to choose documentation language
* Configuration file in XML

So, you know what is going on with DelphiCodeToDoc, I ask you just a bit of 
patience.
I would like to thanks all people who were involved in the project by their 
remarks, ideas, translations and sometimes patch or code !
Thank you all for you help, I really love the Delphi community ambiance, 
I’ve learn many thing thanks to you.
