How to get the latest beta version

[Bitmonster]

0.3.6.1114

I haven't said much about new features in the beta versions recently, but there are some. Here are some new features from my memory:

+ Added the "Desktop Remote" plugin, that allows you to create a remote-like window.
+ Added the "MediaPortal" plugin.
+ Some more test cards in the "Test Pattern" plugin.
+ Some plugins (those with many actions) have the functionality to ask you if they should add a folder with all actions as individual macros to your configuration tree when you add the plugin. This way you can save much time, as you only need to add this folder to your context folder and then the only thing that remains is to assign the events you want to the macros.

0.3.6.1174

Well, I should update this thread more frequently in the future. Here are some news, from my memory:

+ New plugins from Pako: Billy, MediaMonkey and IrfanView
+ New TheaterTek plugin from SurfFan
+ New FHZ 1000 PC plugin for the ELV FS20 devices.
+ Updated wxPython to 2.8.6.1

But most importantly all plugin developers should read this thread. There are some changes to the plugin API.

Version 0.3.6.1218 (11/28/2007)

new: First version of a plugin for Barco CRT projectors.
new: All action configuration dialogs now have a "Test" button, that will execute the current settings just like it would if you confirm the dialog and press execute in the toolbar. The difference is, that changes you've made are not stored until you confirm the dialog with the ok button. So you can cancel your changes even if you have pressed the test button.

Version 0.3.6.1401 (05/16/2008)
new: Added the executables py.exe and pyw.exe to the installer. These are python interpreters, that use the EventGhost library files. You can use them to run your own Python code, without the need to install a Python distribution or to start EventGhost. The py.exe executable is a replacemant for the python.exe you would normally find in a Python distribution and pyw.exe accordingly for pythonw.exe (that runs code without a console, e.g. for scripts that have their own GUI). They don't support the command line options of a real python interpreter, but they are neverless handy for many tasks.
