Writers Block?

Nope.

For those of you like, vanlandw that love to nag me to update my website (even though you fail to lead by example :razz: ), know that I have not been frequently updating my site over the past week or so. This is primary due to the work that I have been doing on Dark Room. It hardly takes up all my free time, but it does take up all my blogging time. :wink:

Thus, now that I finished my conversion to C#, I should have time again to write a post about something or the other. But, do not get your hopes up. :wink:

Dark Room Updated (0.6b)

This is one of the biggest updates since the original release…for me, not you. :wink: Basically, what I did was clean up the entire codebase as well as convert it all to C# (for my own benefit). I did manage to save a handful of KBs for those of you with small hard drives (yes, I know it requires .NET and that is freakin’ huge). :razz:

Anyhow, I did manage to stick in a few improvements, such as the next preference dialog, and a lot of little bug fixes and tweaks that make everything operate a little more smoothly.

New Features:

1. Added launch modes (restore buffer, open last file, clean document)
2. Redone preferences dialog
3. Converted to C#

Bug Fixes:

1. A bunch (mostly little inconsistences that I noticed while converting)

Todos:

1. Cursor
2. Word Count / Statistics
3. Limited Formatting Support

Todos:

2. Word Count / Statistics
3. Limited Formatting Support

Dark Room Updated (0.5b)

Sorry for the delay in getting this revision out, I have been busy with my Economic Strategies class. Anyhow, this version includes a few new features (some much needed, some not as much) as well as some bug fixes.

In the not to distant future I will probably be releasing a “Pro” version that includes some limited RichText formating, but since this will be a fair amount of work I will probably charge $1.99 for it. Hopefully, I don’t break the bank for anyone. :wink:

New Features:

1. Transparency
2. Rudementary Printing Support
3. Autosave (once a minute)
4. Find
5. Content Cached in a local file to increase portability

Bug Fixes:

1. Save As bug fixed, now can save as repeatedly
2. Text Formatting is stripped when copied to clipboard

Todos:

1. Cursor
2. Word Count / Statistics
3. Limited Formatting Support
