How to get the latest beta version

[Bitmonster]

Version 0.3.6.1408 (05/22/2008)
new: BT8x8 based remotes plugin from junius.
new: GOM Player plugin from CHeitkamp.

The next versions will not contain any new features, because I want to get the 0.3.6 branch out as an official SourceForge release. So we are currently in a feature freeze phase. Only bugs will be fixed and the next versions can be regarded as release candidates.

Version 0.3.6.1430
fix: Bug in the Keyboard plugin.

Just to remind you:
This is one of the last and most stable 0.3.6 versions, since it is regarded as a release candidate. I plan to release the final version on SourceForge in a week or two.

I've released 0.3.6 on SourceForge today. This is the build number 1435.

Ups, there is a severe bug in the USB-UIRT plugin. I just recalled the release.

EDIT: So we have a new release candidate now: 0.3.6.1437

0.3.6.1487 (12/05/2008)

• The "log only assigned and activated events" check box is now displayed in red if checked.
• DesktopRemote's "Show" action now has an option to force the window to be always on top of all other desktop windows.
• Added a "Start" action to the VLC, that helps to start VLC with the right command line options.
• The list of plug-in authors in the about dialog is now automatically created from all installed plug-ins.
• Fixed sticking keys of the Keyboard plug-in after some special events (like Ctrl+Alt+Delete).
• Many other bugs fixed.

0.3.7.r851 (02/20/2009)

• Event items now have a configuration dialog, that is somewhat similar to the ones of actions and plugins. If you do an "Add Event...", the dialog presets to the last event that was logged.
• The IR decoder code is completely rewritten. Currently the IgorPlugUSB, TechnoTrend, UIRT and USB-UIRT plugins are using it. One feature is its ability to decode RC5 and MCE-RC6 commands to human readable events (like Play, Stop and so one). The downside is, that you might need to re-assign some events to you macros, as some signals are decoded to other strings.
• The log has a new option to indent items, that should help to detect how the processing of events/macros/actions work.
• Added a Python shell that you can open through the help menu. A nice toy to experiment with Python.
• The setup includes a Windows help file now. You can invoke it through the help menu or by pressing F1. The help isn't very complete. It only contains some parts from the Wiki till now.
• After reading this article on "Joel on Software", and thinking about it, I decided to follow his advise, except for the "File" and "Edit" menus. So now all other menu items stay enabled and if there's some reason EventGhost can't complete the action, you get a message telling you why.
• The title bars of the two panes now have a horizontal gradient and their colours are determined by the appearance settings of Windows.
• EventGhost now is build with Python 2.6.
• The version number scheme has changed a little. The last number now shows the SVN revision number instead of the build number and is prefixed with a small "r". This should make it easier for plugin developers to see if their latest changes are included in the installer.
• Added Japanese translation from user somainit.

In this release much code has changed and I expect many new bugs. So be careful before updating and make a backup of your configuration XML file.
