Thanks for the kind words guys. I'm just going to respond to all
questions posted so far in one email.

And enough for thinking you could charge for this :-)
I thought about that but decided against it in the end. There is
definitely a commitment that comes with charging customers for a
product that I don't think I can make right now. I really feel Rev
needs a framework like this available publicly so I decided to release
it anyway and hope that others will contribute however they can to
help move it forward.
My main question will be: does GLX2 imperative to work with it or is
it only a reference to Jerry's great job?
Just a reference to Jerry's great job. I really like the "GLX" name.

I will chime in here as well. I've recently been using Trevor's
auto-update
features on several real world projects and am thrilled with the new-
found
ability to create self-updating stacks and standalones. The big
plus is it
can all be done from within Revolution: build, publish, update.
Scott was kind enough to use a server that broke some of my code that
checked the size of files on the serve so you can all thank him that
the auto updater won't break on servers that don't like the HTTP 1.0
HEAD request :-)
One thing the packaging stack doesn't do yet is upload your auto
update packages for you yet. Rev does not have built-in SFTP support
and I don't like sending passwords in the clear. This could be done
with shell commands but I haven't put that together yet. That would be
a great addition though.

Does the App Framework work without GLX2?
The framework does not require GLX2 to run, that just makes it more
fun :-)
Also, do you know if it works with the MetaCard IDE, or is it
dependent on the Revolution IDE?
The only thing that comes to mind is possible use of a handler like
revCopyFolder and I'm not even sure if I used that anywhere in the
code. The framework itself is just scripts that should run in 2.8.1 or
later. The included plugin used to configure application properties
doesn't have any Revolution IDE dependencies.

Not only is Trevor's GLX App Framework cool, it's time tested. This
is not the first generation of app framework he's done over the
years. And I believe he uses GLX App Framework for ScreenSteps
This is the framework I use with ScreenSteps though there are a couple
of improvements here and there that I made while prepping it for
public release.

Trevor, very nicely done. I was just wondering last week why such a
thing doesn't yet exist for Revolution, and what it would take to
create a fully featured app framework... and now, there it is.
Hey, perfect timing! Will see how fully featured it is once people
start using it but I feel it is definitely a strong base to build off
of. The undo manager (that isn't documented yet) is the newest
addition which could really use some additional input. I think the
library works pretty well right now but after I document it we will
see if is as easy to use as it should be.
