100 days of XTreem

DIGG IT!     0 Comments Published Friday, January 28, 2005 at 3:40 AM .

One hundred day have past since XTreem was publicly released and I am about to dive into development again.&

Since the last patch release (.976) I have been accumulating requests for feature changes and bug fixes here is the big list:

1. Licensing - Clearly state there is no spyware in XTreem. Edited XML is never sent from XTreem onto the Internet.

2. Direct XML Editing - In the XML edit pane, users would like to directly edit the XML and have it reparsed into the tree view. If a parse error occurs the user would be alerted and have the option to revert to pre-edit conditions or fix the XML.

3. Tab/Whitespace Toggle - Similar to TextWrap the user would have the option to remove tabs from XML output.

4. File Close - There is no way to close a file and clear memory. By default XTreem persists the last edited document when it is closed.

5. Speed up XML processing - I am planning to add caching to XML along with dirty flags. When a node is edited, the node will be reparsed and cached. Only nodes marked dirty will be re-parsed when the a view is requested.

6. Documentation - Xtreem will get its first help documentation with this release.

7. Clean-up the UI

8. Switch everything over to V2 EventDispatcher/delegate, there is a bug in the component shared libraries.

9. After dialog closes, focus returns to attribute grid?

If you are interested in testing the development version, just send and email to ted[@]powersdk[.]com.

Here is a chart of the first 100 days of installations. The yellow to the total installs while the purple is the daily downloads amplified by 500%. Since day 46 the daily download rate has been growing steadily.



Cheers,

Ted ;)
