version 0.46 released!

This release of WireMaster provides several bug fixes, including fixes for some wireframe save/load problems. It also adds the ability to select multiple components by dragging the mouse to create a selection box, and the components are now on a draggable toolbar, which results in less clicking to add new components. The look of the app has also started to change to something that is a little more slick, something that I hope to continue improving in future releases. Special thanks to Diego for his dilligence in trracking down several bugs, and a thank you to all the people that have anonymously submitted feedback from WireMaster.... read more

New Release available (v0.26) please give feedback

Hey all,

I've just released a new version of WireMaster (v0.26) It adds some visual rendering improvements to some of the components, and adds arrow key movement support to provide fine grained control over positioning of components. I would _really_ appreciate any feedback on WireMaster, as I haven't heard from any users at this point. Where is it lacking? What kinds of problems have you encountered while using it? Does it require other features? I'd love to hear from you because if you have problems, it's likely that other users will too. ... read more
