New Years Resolution 2009 + Future plans

This year, I’m planning on actually putting release notes up here when a new version goes up for review. Shocking idea I know. 1.1.2, a bugfix release, is in review at the moment, so fingers crossed the reviewal Gods smile upon it.

What next? Other than the Map tab, which will go in once I’ve got some decent overlays for it, I’m planning on getting solar system info and market transactions in next, but overall the goal is to have all the API feeds in there eventually.

Also, I’m going to be sitting down and bludgeoning the Leopard version of iClone into shape. That’ll be released once it’s stable. Current features include a skill queue planner, export of said queues (and current skills) to iCal, export of API keys to the address book (for import into the iPhone app) and spurious threading-related weirdness. Future-future plans are to try and ensure both versions cover the same bits of the API, with possible export of stuff such as queues and (for example) POS setups from OS X to iPhone. Though it’d be nice if CCP did the X,Y,Z co-ordinate thing for assets in space and lets us automatically work out POS fittings…

Thanks for the suggestions, abuse and bug reports all – it’s appreciated, and the only way to motivate a one-man project to keep moving forward rather than stagnating.

p.s. 16,000 downloads to date – amazed is the only phrase that comes to mind!

A Late Christmas Present
