KAKE PAD / News: Recent posts

Hi all,

Quick note, Ive ported kake pad to another languauge and posted the version 6 beta on github. The link for it is as follows, please note port is not in perl, but gambas. I've also taken the old version 5.2.1 and cleaned up some of the code, but haven't released it yet. I will likely release it here. I am intending to keep a perl version going though. Pre 6.0 for perl will be version 5.5.

Hi all,
A quick update here. I know it's been a very long time, but this isn't dead. I am working on a updated version with a few new features. My 6.0 will also likely be ported to Perl 6 if I can redo the GUI. I may also opt to move this to GitHub as well. We will see how that plays out though. The next release won't be version 6 but another 5.x. Work is progressing at current and has been for days now.

Version 6 is in progress finally. Thanks to strawberry perl and related tools I can now fully continue after all this time. I look forward to completing a full overhaul now that I can produce executable again without the need for what used to be the perl dev kit by activestate.

Well, I may have lied in my previous post. I am working on a new version. However, a windows based exe may not be produced. Unless I can find a way to work around the fact the software I used doesn't exist anymore. If anyone would like to join this project let me know.

I'm not giving up on this project. I will take some time this year and breath new life into it. Also hope to revamp and update it after about 2 years of inactivity. I've got the crash cart out and will hook up the project, to zap it back from the brink.

I'm flattered to see there is a community out there that cares this project exists. Let me clarify a few things about Kake Pad. Yes, its written in Perl, but I have standalone executables available which do not require a person to have perl at all to work. Thanks to my activestate Perl Dev Kit license, which was recently upgraded as well. Since the project is Perl it will run on any OS where perl and the tk modules can be compiled, remeber that.

This is a bug fix release.Fixed change tracking and proper file edit monitering.Expect a 6.0 to be released soon, I've decided to spend my night working on Kake Pad so there will be active development going on. Standalone Win32 executables provided by me as usual, gotta use my Perl Dev Kit once in a while you know. You should be able to expect bug free operation.
