Upcoming Release (0.2)

So the next release (0.2) of chungles will look something like the teasers, but different icon sets and I added some borders and things here and there. There will be the toolbar with basic file operations (and the same operations available in a right-click menu).

In addition to that, I've added two new UIs to the mix. I think the UI system is set up fairly well right now, but not yet good enough to have a plugin interface. There's now a console UI (for the shell junkies) and a 'null' UI which is good for sending to the background. I've also added a lockfile to prevent two servers from starting up. The lock file is a null file stored in ${HOME}/.chungles/.lock. If it exists, chungles starts up as a pure client, no serving.

As for bug fixing, I've covered some large bugs, and still many to go. I know there's rather large and silly bugs in there, but I'm focusing on getting basic features taking care of, and then I'll start doing bugfixes. Please, if you see something break in chungles, send me an email (rammerhammer at gmail dot com) with a description of what you were doing and the error java throws. This will help me (and you) a lot.

A final note, the latest revision of chungles in subversion works with the latest release of SWT so for those of you with intel macs, it will now work. 0.2 will be released with the universal binaries for SWT.
