MadBB Pre-Alpha v0.0.9

I'm glad to announce yet another development release. First off, I'd like to state that this is called a 'Private' Alpha because I am not releasing any packges for this release but all of the source is freely availible in the SVN code repository.

Almost all of the updates planned for this release have been achieved. They include:
  • Completed/fully working user system
  • Improved security
  • Topic posting implemented
In the previous news release, I had mentioned a possible new theme/skin, and I believe that is still in the works.

Some things to expect for 0.0.10 would be:
  • Completed posting support
  • User system intergration
  • Initial code base for ACP
  • Additional UCP feature implementations
  • Improved security
  • Possible new theme
If you would like to help, please contact me at: admin [{ dot }] maddog39 [{ at }] gmail [{ dot }] com or via sourceforge, either way. Refer to project page via the link on the right for more information.

Some Updates

Sorry for not posting anything in a while, but progress has been quite slow. I am going to release OpenParachute 0.2 some time soon. I've added custom key binding support to sprites and I've also dropped the need for having a separate timer for sprites as well, this is now done automatically. I will also add some simple camera support before the release. I am still working on gSourceEdit but have run into some issues and not sure what to do with it at the moment, although its almost done. I thought up some ideas for it, such as having a really simple plugin interface and adding default support for subversion as well as make.
