Default Re: The SE4 companion - Why the long wait?.

Q:So what's up with 0.8, whats taking so long time??
A: It's been totally reprogramed again, from the foundation and up.
The GUI has nothing in common with v 0.76.
I'm currently doing the individual game companions, then I'll make the settings screen and the set-up wizard.
Enhance the alert screen and add some sound alerts and make the help and readme file.
Then I'll playtest it for a week before I release it.

Q: That seems like a lot, when do you expect to release 0.8, next year?
A: Nah, in 4 weeks at most.

Q:What are these new features I've heard about?
A:Not very many. Those that existed has been improved, it now alerts for PBW game news, nag mails and other PBW type mails.
It can warn for deadline approaching and has quick links to the games PBW game forum.
And, it got a function that easily enables IRC contact with the SE4 channel, that works really good.
But above all else, it's easier to use, less clutter and more logic in the UI.

Q: 0.76 sucked bigtime, should I really try 0.8?
A:Yes, it's a completely different program, try it when it's released, you'll like it!
