Finishing the GUI

Posted on 08:28 by Unknown
The last few days have been horrible. I've restored XP pre-SP2 compatibility to the beta series and fixed numerous bugs. Unfortunately not all bugs left in the beta have been squashed yet. I built up expectations too quickly I think, as a couple users will disappointed bug X or Y wasn't fixed. I am getting to them ASAP. Most of the watchdog stuff is still a little flaky, and certain system configurations seem problematic in the beta.

I've done what I can. It hasn't been easy. Version 4 has been a large leap forward. It may not look like much, but it is a platform to build upon. I now can implement new optimizations I couldn't before, and can do other things I don't want to yet reveal.

We'll be final before we know it, but it has to be done right. I can't rush it. I know everyone is eager, and I am too. The more I try to rush it the more mistakes I'll make, which will only slow me down during QA. I'm about 95% complete, so I'm just going to take it slow and steady to cross the finish line.

After version 4 I have several other plans, but one thing at a time ;).
