Menu

AutoREALM alpha 3.0.1 is here

Two more months of development, a stronger configuration syste, menu system was entirely rewritten has has been used as base to implement support of toolbars.

It is also now possible to use cascading configuration files: the software will read
Toolbars works in the same way as menu: it reads an directory tree to grab informations about items to add and the plugin they will enable.

Error messages were also improved, to make it easier to understand what is going wrong.

Again, no binaries are planed, since I lack time and there are still no real features.

For next version, I will try to implement XML support (and so, maybe, aur and aurx support, from previous versions will be doable, as SVG export.), color selector, and maybe another drawer plug-in.
Those plug-ins have the role to make the current plug-in system stronger, and so, a big part of it will probably be remade and improved.
The first step will be to definitely split the plug-in interfaces in distinct plug-in interfaces:

  • tools, like color selection
  • file formats
  • drawers

It is not expected that autorealm 3.0.2 will embed essential features like shape selections, so it will still not be end-user friendly.

PS: contributions and messages, advices, opinions are more than welcome.
