WarFoundry

February 2010

The good news is that work is still underway on WarFoundry, including a new Qt#/Qyoto interface. The bad news is that we've lost time to the resolution of threats of legal action over the description of our application. You may have read about it on other sites, as many sites were affected, but full disclosure to make the WarFoundry community aware of the situation that the WarFoundry community is in are now available.

24th December 2009

Merry Christmas! As a festive/yuletide/insert-holiday-of-choice present, WarFoundry is now available in a snow-tastic new beta version with fifteen bug fixes and enhancements. Please go grab a dev build of beta 6 and get involved!

22nd November 2009

Another long break until a beta release, but this version includes a lot of work on the equipment after our beta testers (mainly Snowblizz) tried and broke the previous version. Please go grab a dev build of beta 5 and get involved!

31st October 2009

Slightly later than planned, but with some major breaking changes to equipment, the fourth beta version has been released. Go grab a dev build and get involved!

29th September 2009

With the help of Snowblizz and Frostlee we're now on to our third beta version with numerous bug fixes, improvements and suggestions for future features. We still need more beta testers, though, so please grab a dev build and get involved!

13th September 2009

Our first beta release has been built and uploaded. If you want to try out the first build and help the development of WarFoundry as a tester then please grab a dev build of the WarFoundry v0.1 beta.

August 2009

As you can see from our dev site timeline, progress has been continuing despite the lack of news updates.

The most important changes in the past week has been some reshuffling of the milestones and releases that should bring WarFoundry v0.1 closer to release. We've also now got army loading and saving in WarFoundry, so the app has finally become useful for more than just one session!

If you're interested in helping out - either as a developer or beta-testing WarFoundry v0.1 as it approaches release - then please drop in to our WarFoundry forums and make yourself known.

May 2009

We have been investigating the possibilities for a Army Builder plugin that would add support for Army Builder's data files in to WarFoundry. This would be on top of the Rollcall plugin for loading Rollcall ADF files.

The main change to the WarFoundry Site has been the introduction of an updates feed as part of a rewrite of the front page. Viewing recent updates is now even easier, and hopefully the introduction is more useful.

March and April 2009

The site has been fairly static, but work is progressing well on WarFoundry v0.1. There is also now more information on the Dev Wiki, including details of the WarFoundry File Formats, which should now be fairly stable.

7th Feburary 2009

The site is getting an overhaul with a new design, a logo, a better integration between the site and Trac, and a reshuffle of some pages.

January 2009

A lot of work has been going on with WarFoundry, including setting up a Trac site for integrated bug/feature tracking, upload of source code (now properly licensed under the LGPL v3) and a public SVN Server, plus an initial working Rollcall plugin.

23rd December 2008

Having been moved to a VPS in the past month, we now have the set up for a more complete development area including source control, bug tracking and project integration. The code still needs to be correctly licensed, but the code in its current state is now publicly available.

23rd June 2008

• WarFoundry file loading is rebuilt to use a new design, based around zip files as data archives rather than just a single XML file.

18th June 2008

After a long time without updates (due in part to a lack of computer following a disk crash, an excess of visits from the in-laws and the arrival of my first child) things start back up again.

• The starts of the Developers section of the site goes up. More detail will be added as areas are finalised.

28th February 2008

• GTK# version now has unit tabs that let you see the details of a unit, plus several back-end updates.

27th January 2008

• Some more development to fix bugs in the GTK# version. Can now change system, create armies and add units.
• Updated screenshots with screenshots of the current GTK# version.
• Fixed a link in the System.Windows.Forms screenshots so that two thumbnails don't link to one image.

23rd January 2008

• Moved old features list to progress.
• Re-created features as a page of features and functions of the application.
• Brought the features and progress up to date.
