Dear friends, contributors and Ecere community members, I have the great pleasure to announce that the version 0.44 of the Ecere Cross-Platform SDK, codenamed "Ryoan-ji", is now available. It is the first "official" Open Source release of Ecere (not a draft, or preview). The Windows installer is available at https://launchpad.net/ecere/trunk/0.44/ ... -win32.exe Our Ubuntu Linux PPA on Launchpad is at https://code.launchpad.net/~ecere-team/+archive/ppa To add our Ecere PPA to your Ubuntu system you can simply do: Code: Select all
Code: Select all
It took us some time and great efforts to get there, but we now have what should be a stable and complete release. A quick history of what happened since 0.43 (September 2008):
Now all this is fixed, and it should be a breeze to get the Ecere SDK installed on your system in no time at all, to try out all the cool samples and features! What's new in this version:
For those of you who do not yet have an account on the forums, and wish to register, please let me know of your user name for activation, because I unfortunately cannot distinguish spammers from real users. Now that internationalization support is complete, I would like to invite you all to contribute a translation of Ecere in your native language. You can use the nice collaborative interface on Launchpad for this purpose, at http://translations.launchpad.net/ecere An article I wrote on Cross-Platform Development with the Ecere SDK will be featured in this month's issue of the Software Developer's Journal - http://en.sdjournal.org/ . It should come out within the next week, I invite you to check it out. It's an excellent introduction to coding in eC with the Ecere SDK! For an overview of what lies ahead for Ecere, you can take a peek at http://launchpad.net/ecere/+milestones We will now focus on deploying Ecere applications on the Android platform. All the best, Jerome |

This is rockin' awesome! It's so nice to see it's finally here! Does it have complete documentation yet? Is the Tao complete? I notice you've apparently got a coursebook to accompany it, that sounds pretty cool. I'll have to check all this out later when i'm not on my phone... Rockin' Guys! |

Oh yeah, what's Ryoan-ji mean? And how do you pronounce it? |

Hi mothdragon! While I was working on this release and visiting Kyōto at the same time, I've decided to name the major Ecere releases after Zen temples in Kyōto The Ryōan-ji is the temple with the famous rock garden (which you see in the background of the IDE and in the installer). 竜安寺 - it means "The Temple of the Dragon at Peace". See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ry%C5%8Dan-ji It's written in romanji (a japanese transliteration system using latin letters), which is pronounced pretty much as you would in english, except that the R is halfway between R and L, so Ryo is between Ryo and Lyo, and the 'ō' is a long o, "[r|l]yo-o-ann-gee". See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanization_of_Japanese Does it have complete documentation yet? -- I'm afraid not You were the one in charge, weren't you? hehehe See the milestones ahead. Documentation is in there, currently planned for the month of June. It does have a bunch of new samples though, and the coursework as well The forums are getting richer with good answers also. No, the Tao is not complete The coursework accompanies the first section and beginning of second. It's a bunch of quiz on each chapters, as well as lab projects, along with quiz answers and lab projects/solutions. Cheers, Jerome |

To tell it in few letters "WOW" I am surprised at how everything looks, there is a big difference and I know I had been away for less then month, but it seems like it is much more than that based on what I saw just now. The installation system is much nicer and better than the 0.43 version was using (Is the installer available for any project, like complete packaging - or should I put request ) The toolbar is great, and I tried running some older applications, it even seems to be quicker? All the Best to entire team that created such a great thing, and thank you for including me as well in the about part of IDE Oh jea, like the licenses tab All the best, D.Bane |

Hi D.Bane! Thanks for your good feedback What did you mean by "Is the installer available for any project, like complete packaging" ? The source code of the installer is available under sdk/installer in the source tree. Regards, Jerome |

hey, I'm pretty sure D.Bane meant using the installer to package any other project. like using it to package the Ecere Fractals Explorer for example. or one of D.Bane's applications. -redj |
