New Graphite screenshot
Finally I managed to replace this crappy screenshot. It was from an old version, that had an ugly rendering bug. Absolutely no idea, why I kept it for so long ...

Another redesign of the Z-Pages
- older news moved to a separate page
- some style changes
- added a few generic RISC OS links for people from outside the RISC OS world
The blogging begins
Today I have started my blog.

Graphite 0.45 released
The original plan was to release Graphite 0.50 in February 2005, but by now I'm pretty sure I can't hold that date. In fact it will probably take several months before 0.50 will be finished. Because of a critical bug in 0.40 I decided to release what was done so far as an intermediate version (Graphite 0.45).
Bug fixes and improvements:
- workaround: the grid dialogue box sometimes did behave strangely regarding the opening position and was sometimes opened as a persistent window (there is a problem in one of the underlying libraries, so this is only a workaround)
- bug-fix: initial position of document windows was wrong
- bug-fix: styles: when the OK button was pressed, the edge width was multiplied by 40
- bug-fix: font dialogue did stay open, when parent-viewer was closed (there was a fix in 0.30 that solved the problem regards effects; this one solves the problem regarding styles)
- feature: support for SaveDesktop-protocol
- feature: support for OLE-protocol (untested)
- bug-fix: corrected some minor spelling mistakes
- bug-fix: fading of selection-button in SaveAs dialogue didn't work
- bug-fix: deselecting a node sometime left visible remains of the selection mark

Redesign of the Z-Pages
The changes page was moved to the main page and the content of the main page was moved to a new section.
The progress page was removed (not enough progress to display anything noteworthy).
Spellwinds project cancled
Since my time is so limited at the moment, that I can hardly manage one project, I had to cancel Spellwinds. Sorry!
Critical bug found in Graphite 0.40
In an attempt to fix a bug in the style system, I broke the whole thing. Please do not use the style dialogue (use effects instead).
The problem will be fixed in the next release. Again, sorry!
