Features for Shift 0.2
Here are some of the updates coming in version 0.2:
- Removal of SSH tunneling. This is actually a desired feature, but it is non-functioning under the latest code-base of CocoaMySQL. The way they were going about it was pretty messy so we decided to just can all the code and rewrite it properly down the line when we are more comfortable with cocoa and the project.
- Fully assimilated project files. Currently the application strings are all set for Shift, but we will be moving all the files and classes over to the new name as well.
- New logo. No clue what it will look like, but it will probably suck. Neither of us currently working on the project have any icon design experience at all, so whatever ends up being used for 0.2 will probably be temporary. This is just necessary to fully remove all CocoaMySQL branding.
- Auto updating with Sparkle. This will be by far the biggest improvement to Shift in this release. Sparkle is the same framework used in Adium for auto updates. Sparkle will allow us to push out the new releases with minimum fuss. We have the majority of this functionality operational.
As always, you can get the latest code from the 0.2 branch to get the latest updates. (There is no guarantee that this code will work perfectly or even compile, so caveat emptor.)
