New VisualBlogger 2004 Beta Posted
I just posted a new build of
VisualBlogger 2004. This build fixes the following issues:
- Drop-down list of configured blogs does not update after changing
blog configurations. [Brian Desmond]
- Dialogs and subforms were not modal. [Brian Desmond]
- Post Title box did not clear when your cursor entered the
box. [Brian Desmond]
- Feedback system did not submit your name or e-mail address.
- DotText96 provider removed.
- Upgraded Sandbar.dll assembly to version 1.0.8
If you've already registered, you should be automatically redirected to the
downloads page from this
link. To upgrade from the previous release, unzip all the files
EXCEPT for VisualBlogger.exe.config and Configuration.xml. If
you overwrite these files, you will have to re-configure VisualBlogger 2004 as
per the directions in readme.txt.
Earlier, it was brought to my attention that VB2004 takes up about as
much memory as VS.NET when running. I need to reiterate the fact that while
this beta was tested for basic functionality, it is not performance
tuned at all. I'm not cleaning up objects when I'm done with them. All
subcomponents are compiled in debug mode, and there are 9 different
dependencies, all of which load up debugger files along with the main assembly.
I'm not caching any data to the hard drive. At any rate, the memory footprint
will be much smaller once all subcomponents are compiled in release mode, and I
do my obsessive-compulsive "Java-Powered Code Review" (that's the coffee not the
virtual machine) to clean up all the code.
Please send any feedback through the built-in system (the last button on the
toolbar). This goes into our central tracking system, powered by OnTime, so that I can see what needs to be
done, and when features.bugs are closed.
Thanks for all the help guys!
