Plan for Sam Bacsa

Vit ze imple-- erm, sorry -- With the implementation of the plugins architecture almost complete (which is really the last step in this long and arduous process), I thought it was time that I let everyone know that I'm almost done! :)

In addition to the bugfixes, the plugins, source code control, re-designed UI, the upgrade to .Net 2.0, various rendering fixes, revamped memory management routines, etc, there is also the addition of "OneClick" debugging.

Simply run the wizard:

And you're done! No more trying to get debugging to work.

Also, added some cool wizards, like this one that walks you through stuff like selecting your preferred shortcut key layout (ie, Visual Studio for C++/C#, VB, etc), color scheme, and so on:

There are also going to be customizable project and file templates, and the phaseout of Snippeter in favor of the .Net version of snippets. There'll be an in-IDE editor for those.

So, estimated time until arrival, I would assume, would be either this weekend or early next week.

Thanks for everyone's patience.

That's really cool, I just wish Codeweaver had filesystem based project support. Any chance of getting that as an option? I might just be some kind of inept newb but it really slows down my coding to have to add files to my project manually. Anyway, I love Codeweaver, keep it up!

Thanks for the compliments :)

@Midhir: I wanted to make it as close to Visual Studio as possible, hence the virtual file system. I will be including greater integration with the FS in three ways:

- When renamed in CW, it will be renamed on the FS;
- Folders will be mapped to the FS directly;
- When files are moved around folders in CW, they will be moved in the FS as well.

You will still, however, be required to import files just like Visual Studio.

Cool project, I did not think you could tear me away from JEdit.

Now if only you'd remove the online crap...
Ya I know... I'll just use Torsion... :-(

@Burning: All the "online crap" is removed, even in the currently-available version, save for a prompt during install.

Sam, I declare that codeweaver is no good because I can't install msi packages! Let's here it for exe installers!

/me dies and continues to use torsion

I thought there was a setup.exe in the ZIP file :x

Regardless, an MSI install package is the Microsoft standard for software deployment. Why can you not install MSI packages?
