Simba 0.99 is to be released soon, with the first release candidate coming up in the next few days.
New features:
- New Settings Form.
- Portable Simba. (Default)
- The non-portable version of Simba now respects user directories on both Windows and Unix (with XDG support).
- More hash/cipher functions.
- Initial support for loading a bitmap from clipboard in the bitmap convertor.
- Major settings backend rework.
- Added Version to Simba's UserAgent.
- New Extension hook: onScriptOpen.
- Latest and greatest Lape.
- Support for JPG/PNG in TMufasaBitmap.SaveToFile (and in SaveBitmap)
- Crash logger. When something goes wrong, Simba will attempt to write a log to a file. You can then choose to keep running Simba or terminate it.
- Formatter extension to nicely format your scripts.
- Examples/ directory.
And a LOT more fixes.
We've been trying to keep the open bugs count low for Simba. Recently we've fixed a lot of open bugs and what's left is mainly feature requests.
These are the current statistics:
| open | resolved | closed | total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 49 | 0 | 281 | 330 |
This is the summary from several months ago: (resolved = closed)
| open | resolved | closed | total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 46 | 140 | 76 | 262 |
Simba has an extra (new) build system current located at l0.lt. It contains a few insightful summaries as well as downloads for supported each platform. (32/64 bit Windows/Linux)
This list doesn't reflect all the commits to Simba 0.99; as Simba 0.99 is not officially released yet - it will see a lot more work.
