[RobotFlow-Devel] New Simultaneous Releases of FlowDesigner-0.8.2, RobotFlow-0.2.4 and MARIE-0.2 "Waiter"

[Dominic L. <dom...@us...>]

Hello FlowDesigner, RobotFlow and MARIE users! 

The FlowDesigner, RobotFlow and MARIE teams are proud to announce the
latest release of our latest software "Suite". All those softwares are
related to each other and we thought we should make a joint
announcement. Here are the major changes for each software :

FlowDesigner-0.8.2 (http://flowdesigner.sourceforge.net)
------------------
*** Added features *** 
- Now able to create notes (GUINotes) in the user interface. Notes can be added anywhere in any Network like post-it notes. Still need some work, but working properly. Notes can be moved anywhere, but they do not always appear at the good position when creating them.  
- Now able to import / export already existing networks. Next step is to have the ability to modify imported networks directly.

*** Fixed features ****
- Now display the network type (iterator, subnet) properly in the Network tab(s)
- Node Parameters dialog working properly. Still need to bring back focus when dialog is minimized.

*** Help Needed ***
- We need help to continue our Octave toolkit. Maybe you can contribute?
- We need help to create RPM and deb packages for the most popular Linux distributions. Please contact us if you have made RPMs and Debian packages that we can make available for everybody.

RobotFlow-0.2.4 (http://robotflow.sourceforge.net)
---------------
- New version of MARIE nodes to fit with MARIE 0.2.0 
- New Vision nodes
