There are a couple of potential outstanding issues with regard to industry job statuses sometimes displaying incorrectly – I’m still looking into these. Also, a few of you have reported adding accounts is behaving less smoothly than it ought – I’ll be trying to improve the documentation surrounding this area, especially with regard to syncing with Windows machines.

Shouldn’t I be working on the new release of the iPhone app? Well, I am as well. Refresh performance is much improved, the new data dumps are integrated, and I’m currently polishing the new wallet detail panes, along with keeping an eye on the performance of the wallet queries. This isn’t getting released till I’m happy with the load times on the Worst Possible Test Device(tm) – a 1st generation iPod touch, which (I believe) has the slowest CPU of any of the released iPhone OS devices.

Why a new website then? Well, the key to that is in the word ‘working‘ in the question above. iClone is a personal project, and so fits around my day job, which has to be first priority. At work we use trac for bug tracking, and during the working day I’m a slave to the ticket. It’s efficient, it keeps things organised, it enables the usual cat-herding of programmers to be made less of a pain for the people in charge. However, it has the knock-on effect of making any interaction with bug-tracking software outside of work seem like, well, work. So, over the next few days I’m going to be closing off the old iClone bug tracking pages, and redirecting them to this new site. I’m still more than open to suggestions and feedback, and I think it’s going to motivate me to be more responsive in responding to bugs and feature suggestions – both direct mail and submissions to the contact form will end up in my inbox, and I won’t have ticket admin to sap my enthusiasm. As an added bonus, with the new support pages I no longer have to suffer interact with wiki-markup, so I’m more likely to keep the documentation up to date, which can’t be a bad thing, and the iPhone skin for the pages will make them far more useful.

Hopefully I’ll be posting about 1.2.1 being submitted soon!

One change that won’t be popular in this release is the dropping of support for iPhones and iPods with 2.x firmwares. This was a tough decision to make as the new features available in the 3.x SDK didn’t make the choice an automatic one, even if they generally make life more pleasant for both user and coder alike. In the end the lack of simulator support in Snow Leopard, along with the lack of personal devices with the old firmware to test on made the decision for me. If this change affects you then I apologise, but recommend you upgrade as the new firmware features are worth it in my opinion – fingers crossed the recent proposed changes to the US accounting rules mean that Apple can drop the ridiculous iPod update charge.

Here are some initial details about and screenshots for the Leopard version of iClone.

Very much in the early stages of development, but it’s starting to look more like an app, and less like an explosion in an interface factory.

Currently very much a work in progress.

Features currently existing as more than just vague ideas and (barely) working:

• Skill Queueing
• Export of skill queue and skill completion to iCal
• Growl notifications of skill completion
• Character sheet and skill browser
• Item browser
• Placeholder POS, Corp and Asset tabs
• Regular crashes

Fixed in version 1.1.2:

• Fix of skill requirements for Orca
• Ability to clear asset search
• Various stability and UI tweaks & fixes

New in version 1.1.2:

• Link to online documentation
• More verbose activity information
• Manual update option

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.
