November 2nd, 2004 • Criawips 0.0.8 released

Version 0.0.8 is a snapshot release of current development code. So don't expect a full-featured application yet. This release is mostly some "get the code frozen for the presentations on LWE and Linux-Info-Tag" last week.

New Features and Fixed Bugs:

• Criawips now searches images in a path relative to the presentation, you don't have to put them into the working directory anymore (Sven Herzberg)
  WARNING: Criawips dropped the support of opening symlinks at the moment because we were just using a workaround for a bug in libgsf, libgsf version (1.10.1)+1 should fix that automatically (both for presentations and for images).
• Added a man page (Sven Herzberg)
• Support for font color and vertical alignment (Sven Herzberg)
• Recent files support (Keith Sharp)
• Choose the default font for presentations from a preferences dialog (Adrien Beaucreux and Sven Herzberg)
• Create new slides and rename them
• We have some kinds of slide templates (master slides)

User Interface:

• display the presentations title in the window title. If it's not set, display the filename, if the title is not set (new file): unsaved presentation (Sven Herzberg)
• change the presentation's title through File->Properties (Sven Herzberg)
• edit slide titles through the slide list (Sven Herzberg)
• Use GtkActionManagerUI for the main window's toolbars and menus (Sven Herzberg)

Internals:

• all sizes are now stored as master coordinates, this means that everything should be resolution independent, even the font size (this makes us way cooler than mgp is :) (Sven Herzberg)
• We got rid of the stupid SlideBlock/LayoutBlock stuff. These classes have merged to be a Block now (we have 500+ lines now for this stuff, it have been 1000+). (Sven Herzberg)
• The slide list side bar now uses a SlideListProxy structure, which listens to changes of the presentation, this removed some nasty bugs and works a lot faster than before.

July 10th, 2004 • Changes for developers

Hi all,

I'm glad to announce that we smootly moved our CVS tree from savannah to GNOME, resulting in a lot of improvements for us. The project is now listed at the GNOME Translation Project pages (should be visible after the next update cycle) and we've got a GNOME bugzilla component (I'm going to convert our current bug manually into bugzilla).
