[qub] 0.5.0 to b e released soon

[Stephan B. <ste...@ei...>]

Fellas,

I'm finally about happy with 0.5. Of course, it's missing some features f=
rom=20
0.4.x, but also has several new ones (piece templates, MDI, etc.).  Last=20
night I added a window list menu to the menu bar which shows you an icone=
d=20
list of all open games. I really wanted to get rid of the menu bar=20
altogether, but without a menu bar, MDI doesn't show the window controls =
of=20
maximized MDI windows, so they become much less usefull (you can't line t=
hem=20
up side-by-side and move things between them, for example).

What I'm waiting on, mostly, is a few hours to sit and play with it, to m=
ake=20
sure the crashes have gone away (I think they only happen when using inli=
ned=20
images, but that's something which I won't cry about too much if I have t=
o=20
take it out). The major problem is that every time I sit down to play wit=
h=20
it, I start adding features or fixing bugs. Last weekend I splurged and=20
bought a 22" monitor, and it's just soooo nice coding at 1600x1200=20
resolution... I just can't make myself stop coding (if I'll get a better=20
video card, I can code at up to 2500x1500 resolution, but I'll go blind=20
trying to read the tiny text!).

If you get a chance, please check it out and tell me if there's anything=20
which looks bad or works horribly. I plan on replacing the About QUB wind=
ow=20
with plain text or HTML, but I think that's it for the major visual chang=
es.

I expect to make the release sometime before Saturday night, assuming I d=
on't=20
find any more crashes. I also hope to roll out the new web pages at that =
time.

Mariusz,

If you'll commit the Debian package stuff into CVS, I'll make sure to=20
generate .deb packages for the release.

See ya!
