Small flurry of updates
With .sparta finally out of the way (it was a big update) I finally had time to address some small changes to the other apps I maintain. So out of the gate is 5 small updates. All of them now (except Aroma) now have a Donate button in the About window which I hope you all take advantage of =D. The rest are just bugs or suggestions from the comments. Enjoy and let me know if there is anything else you’d like to see/change.
.sparta 2 Released!
This has taken quite a while, sorry for ignoring many of the comments on Flashbug or .minerva. With this new release .sparta fully supports CS4 and also CS5 products. Try it out, and if you enjoy it, you’ll notice there is now a donate button in the About window =).
Check out whats new
So these past couple weeks have been a whir of activity. We’ve added two new projects to the blog, so please welcome .whistler and Google Tasks.
.whistler
.whistler is a standalone Flash Player trace viewer. So you finally have a program independent of any browser (Flashbug) that can still display your traces.
Google Tasks
Google Tasks is basically the web app wrapped into an AIR app. For those of you who like to keep it open but not at the expense of keeping the browser open.
.minerva
Also among the happenings, .minerva got a big update recently. It also got a huge bug fix right after it =). The first noticeable change is that it now matches the new theme set by .whistler. Slightly less noticeable is it’s improved parsers which can now (byte for byte) recreate a Shared Object just like the Flash IDE! I also took the liberty to update the JS beautifier code as well.
.merlin
Following in line with .minerva, .merlin got a facelift and now follows suit in the same dark theme. No logic changes took place though.
Flashbug
Finally Flashbug got a huge update to support AMF response data from the servers. 1.5 previously only parsed AMF request data, so now response data has been added. A few more bug fixes have also taken place so it’s reliable again. (or so I hope =p)
Please check out all the new things and post in the comments any ideas or bugs you may have.
About the Labs Wiki
The Labs Wiki was originally meant to showcase all of our projects and anything else we found interesting. But I think we’ve had greater success with this as a blog format. With this said, and to reduce redundancy, I’m going to start clearing out the wiki and moving any unique content here to the blog. This was a long time coming, since the blog I haven’t really updated anything on the wiki anyways. So this just makes sense.
So expect to see some more details popping up on the projects pages and maybe a few more posts. Enjoy!
.minerva 3 Released!
Work has slowed down enough I have begun working on my side projects again. First out of the gate is a revamped version of .minerva! It now has an updated JS formatter engine and best of all; you can now edit .SOL files. I’ve also added a theme to it I plan on using on the rest of the utility type applications I have. Check it out
