Just released version 0.10.0.0.
Not anything majorly visible other than a fix to an annoyance and a squashed bug which can be seen in the changelog.
You might notice that the homepage is much more appealing than before and includes various links that now open in your default browser rather than in Chronicler’s one.
I did however do a complete rewrite of the updater to make it much more robust. Through the magic of JSON, updates can now include files other than just the Chronicler executable. This will come in handy when I need to include translation files or the dictionary for the spell checker. I can also release updates for one platform sooner than another. For example, I occasionally encounter issues with the linux build that can take quite a bit of time to fix. Now Windows users don’t have to wait to receive the update!
As an aside, I decided to start writing a short game using Chronicler. This will allow me to fully test Chronicler’s functionality to find and fix user experience issues or bugs. I also plan on releasing the finished project as an example when it is done.
I was inspired by this post, and thought I’d try my hand at some horror fiction since I’ve always been a fan of H. P. Lovecraft’s works, and Frictional’s series of games.
