WinCab 3.1.4 beta available

(1/4) > >>

Chris:
I'm nearing a release point for 3.1.4 but I haven't had a lot of opportunity to test it yet; also I need to do a lot of work on the docs and clean up the skin files and such.  But for the adventurous, I have a beta release at http://celamantia.arcadecontrols.com/wincab314b.zip that just contains the WinCab executable and new docs, including a Windows help file (jukedocs.chm).

Changes so far for this version are:



* Added MSG_QUEUEFULL.
* Added MSG_SELECTNG.
* Added MSG_SELECTIONREADY.
* Added automatic timed page flips.
* Added settings FirstAutoFlipTimer and AutoFlipTimer to support timed page flips.
* Added CMD_NEXTPG and CMD_PREVPG to support timed page flips.
* Added SkipLetterA, SkipLetterB, SkipNumber1, SkipNumber2, etc. to [Selection] section in skins.
* Added LetterASymbol, LetterBSymbol, Number1Symbol, Number2Symbol, etc. to [Selection] section in skins.
* Added KEY_10 through KEY_25.
* Added Steelfish and Steelfish Bold fonts.
* Added larger, more detailed icons for Windows Vista.
* Increased maximum titlestrip width and height by 1000 in each direction.
* Increased maximum number of songs per titlestrip to 120.
* Fixed OGG files, which were locking up when played.
* Fixed bug where rotated icons were being smeared if there was an On image with no Off image.
* Converted documentation to HTML and Windows Help formats in addition to plain text.
If you have needed any of these changes, please give it a shot and let me know if there are any big issues.   The whole selector system had to be rewritten to accomodate the ability to skip letters/numbers, so it will benefit from anyone who has a chance to look at it.  I'm also interersted in feedback on the CHM docs, although they're still two-thirds empty.  (Yes, plain text docs are still available.)

Again, this beta release only includes a new executable and docs, so you'll need to unZip it over the top of a 3.1.3 installation.

Thank you for any feedback, bug reports, comments, or suggestions you may have on this beta release!

COOL!!!     

I shall download now and give the new features/fixes a go

hmm.. i can see a new wincab skin in my jukebox's immediate future..

Kevin Mullins:
Can we just replace the exe file and not have to re-do any of the config files?

Chris:
Glad to help!  :D

For those who don't want to download but to want to browse the new docs, you can take a look at them online.  Again, there are big gaping holes in them, mostly long lists of settings with no actual explanation, but hey, it's a start....

Yes... the EXE should be a drop-in replacement. I'm striving to keep everything backward compatible so there are no big config shifts, although it's tricky at times.
