Please don't' forget! Can you tell us some of the new features?
I just can't Imagine what you have planed! Tonido is so feature packed as it stands now!

Looking forward to the new release!!

1.2.5 Mainly has the breadcrumb bar and animation fade in/out on certain things, but here is the change log.


1.3.0 will have some more interesting features...like tabbed sessions anyone? Shortcut manager. I might get around to adding thumbnails on images on the background selection dialog (not a high priority). Rewritten Javascript guts...cause right now my baby has kind of ugly guts. And maybe some other small things.

More distant is maybe tapping into some other tonido things like sharing a file or folder from the command line. Maybe a workable mobile interface (current interface is not really good for mobile). A handful of other things that are rattling around in my head. Probably after 1.3.0 I am going to take a break and work on maybe some other Tonido project ideas; I also need to sync up the Tonido PmWiki project to the latest and fix some install bugs.

Looks like a got around to it today.

1.2.5.58307 is available on the opening page. I will be sending it off to market tomorrow, but it will probably take a couple of weeks at least before it shows up.

When I first implemented terminal transparency, I didn't do it the way I wanted to...I did it the lazy way with transparent png files. You have to do it a very specific way to not have your text transparent as well; the png files were easy; I knew how to do it proper, but I figured I would do it later. Well later is here.

In 1.30 you can select any color you want. No need to create little png files anymore.



Not to shabby. I have decided recently I am also going to remove all of the preset colors in 1.3.0 unless people want them there. Now that the color selector is complete, my plan is to only have the color selector dialog to choose colors.

Rewrite/refactoring is going pretty well. I have been condensing a lot of redundant code in a framework to make things easier...it has been easier, and more difficult than I thought.

A couple of things have come to light since I am taking such a close look at the code.

• 1. There was a small bug in the color dialog if you copy and pasted in an invalid value; it would accept it (this is now fixed in 1.3.0)
  
• 2. IE < 9 : the edit dialog will not update the scrolling text if you scroll with arrow keys...until you move the mouse in a vertical direction...weird. This is a directly related to using IE's stupid filters. I am glad IE9 is more standards compliant. (I almost pulled the fade animations again for IE8, but I have a work around in 1.3.0 )
  
• 3. Busy dialogs associated with download, editing, and file selection did not get cleaned up and remained hidden in the background...dialog leak?(fixed in 1.3.0)

Now here are the annoying IE things that I am aware of that will probably remain.

• 1. The main busy dialog's overlay appears opaque only when Tonidoshell is embedded in the Tonido UI. Not really sure about this one. I believe it is again related to IE's stupid filters and the fact that tonidoshell is in an iframe under Tonido's UI. I think since the dialog comes in as soon as the page is ready (and in 1.3.0's cases, as soon as the DOM is ready) that the filter messes up, but specifically when it is in an iframe. All of other dialogs appear fine, and if you open tonidoshell in its own window, this issue is no longer visible.
  
• 2. The new alpha channel in the color dialog will cause the preview box to show clear through to the web page background instead of showing the checkboard pattern when previewing an opacity less than 100. This is because IE filters are poorly implemented. I think I know a complicated way to fix this, but I am not going to waste my time since it is not a real functional issue. I would suggest upgrading to IE9 or use a different browser. You can tell IE is not my favorite browser.

So is the Linux version available? Is so can you post a link to download it? I would SO like to test it out!!

Not yet, the new Tonido for Linux with PHP hasn't been released, so I haven't packaged a Linux Tonidoshell version yet.

The first Linux release will probably be 1.3.0. If you are interested, as soon as Tonido releases the new Linux update, I can package some alpha/betas if you would like to be a tester. Just let me know. I will need some good testers with so much rewriting going on.

YES!!! I would love to test for you!
Just send me the links and I'd be happy to!
Do you know how soon it will be before there's an new release?

Don't know. You would have to ask the Tonido Team. They have been teasing with a new version, but that could be weeks to a month away. I don't think they are usually firm on their release dates.

As for Tonidoshell, I can start making test packages for you as soon as the the new Tonido version drops, but an actual official Tonidoshell release may be at least a month+ away. I am in the middle of rewriting/refactoring the last and most messy code in tonidoshell...the dialogs. After that, I need to get multiple sessions going and a shortcut manager (I have them both worked out in my head, but I may run into issues along the way).

Seriously IE9? How do you not get this right?




Sigh...it just goes to show, no matter how standards compliant IE gets, it is still Internet Explorer.

edit: possibly just a failure on my part, the more I think about it the more it is probably comparing some numerical output of the entire object, so while, the possibility of X object equaling window is low, it is not impossible, and since the window object differs between browsers, one browser could win the lottery and allow X object to equal window while the others don't...which means I am going to have to calculate a more exact way of targeting if an object is a window.
