In the hopes you are enjoyin the new release!!

Wilst trying to get a feature in, the one that would allow to hide some tabs, I realised I had to re-write the entire Tab management system.

So that was my afternoon, re-doing all of the tabs in order to get this feature in. But it wasn't at all bad. I realised that one of the bugs that I had before, couldn't put the tabs either left or right, has now gone and I've already included the options on the Settings.

I've added two more tabs, News and Trade Calculator. They will come live on the next release(Release Candidate 2 RC2) with the online update system.

Once the online update system is in place an relativately safe to publish, I'll be spending some time in producing the content. So it will be a while once I re-start the coding of the app. This will also mean that all the content I'll produce will be ready right after I upload it to the server and in your system once you checked for an update.

Cheers,
Gus

So I've been investigating the best way to provide the online updates and I've come to the conclusion that I need to go into something called threads. This is needed so the User Interface does not freeze when the updates are running, kinda like a background task.

But it's very well known in the programming comunitty, that, whenever you get into threads, you have double trouble. So keep your fingers crossed and let's hope I don't mess it too much.

Well, I finally decided to bite the bullet and try to compile CEO Companion for Mac OS X.

I'm in the middle of installing a Mac OS X Lion Virtual Machine and I'm hoping that RC2 will also be released for Macs.

I've already started the Online Update effort with the object that compares the local and remote versions of the App and the content. I'm trying to get RC2 out by next week or this week end.

Cheers,
Gus

I just realized that my machine is older than it should for a programmer

I'm missing the hardware to emulate a Mac OS X machine.

I'll try and compile it at a friends.
