Hi, I thought that you would appreciate an update of what has been happening with 2.0, so that you don't think that no news means no work gets done :-)
The past six months have seen steady progress, and I'm very happy with the way things are coming along, and the help I get from several people. The current code allows you to add cards, go through the revision process and edit or delete the current card. The following new features have also been implemented: -Support for what is called card types. The main user visible changes are that editing a vice versa card or three sided card will automatically update the related card. There is also support for N-sided cards. -Each individual field in a card can now have its own font, colour, ... which can be set through the GUI. No more need for hacks like 'increase size of non-latin characters'. Background colour is also configurable per card type. -Cards can belong to more than one category. -Added card type for maps, and for cloze deletion. -Plugins can now be turned on and off through the GUI. -Move from Qt3 to Qt4 as GUI toolkit, which has better performance and eliminates many interface quirks. -Windows now use scroll bars when the data does not fit. -The widget that displays the cards is now a full webbrowser, with e.g. support for Javascript, animated gifs, ... -Move to SQL as the storage backend, resulting in improved speed and memory usage, as well as better scalability for large decks. Majority of work done by Ed Bartosh. -Intelligent sorting of categories containing numbers, so that you no longer have to call a category 'Lesson 01' instead of 'Lesson '1 to get the correct ordering (Mike Appleby). -Uses Phonon as sound backend instead of PyGame (Louis Cyphre). At the moment, we are working on the following: -improved performance for the scheduler on mobile devices by yours truly -graphical statistics by Mike Appleby -a Maemo frontend by Ed Bartosh Still to do: -import/export -activate categories -edit deck -various smaller UI stuff. The current version is not yet ready for end users, and we are looking at at least a few more months of work, but things are coming along nicely! I will also try to post more regular status updates in the future.
