BETA 2

rctneil · 10-13-2008, 01:52 PM

Cheers for beta 2 Jim, Just tried it on my machine and it's fine.

Could you explain in more detail which bugs have been fixed so we can sort of test in those areas?

Also, Has this one got another time limit on it?

Thanks

Regards,
Neil

Nice to see all my fish sets from Beta 1 still intact on Beta 2.

I agree with Neil on perhaps some sort up update with the release of a new version.. There is getting to be some 3 pages of "comments" and to wade through all of them.....

I think we are aware of our own bugs / comments but frequently we get drawn into other areas that then gets forgotten and subsequently not re checked with the next version.

More work.. but perhaps a new "beta 2" sticky with the fix in the subject.. Then we can all attack those issues

and see if they "really" are fixed.

If you guys think it's much work wading through the comments for you guys – imagine what Jim's going through with the flood of posts coming through to him. Especially having to answer stuff already answered over and over again.

What's wrong with Jim's The "Preview Window", "Empty tank" and "Random Fish" bugs should be fixed in this version" in post #5 here?

Jim Sachs · 10-13-2008, 05:42 PM

TT's right - those were the three bugs that have been (hopefully) fixed.

That is true... but the version also fixed some smearing in the right corner of tank and quite likely other items as well... which.. unless the original bug reporter thinks to look again will not be tested

In most cases a simple bugfix list / change log is a good idea. In forum land this would equate to a locked post/announcement logging the changes.

I'm sure Jim will have a structured way to keep all this lot managable for his own sanity, right? Right Jim? lol

If not, expect him to be finishing code from the bed of his mental hospital.

A simple thread which catalogs the major fixes for each version of the beta would be suffice and stickied ofcourse. Great job Jim, the aquarium is looking very nice. I have a few people interested in buying it after seeing the beta for the first time on my laptop so expect some new orders.
