Hi all,
Version 2.00 build 0
I have moved to the next release of the development environment used to
create Sailwave (Clarion 6.3) and dumped the multi-threaded approach
when opening more than one file/series for the more modern apprach
where opening another file opens a complete new instance of the program
- Sailwave in this case - this is much more stable that the old method
- which is also dated now from a design POV. Seems rock solid here
opening an arbitrary number of files. Note that the Window menu allows
you to switch between files - as well as the usual Windows methods of
Alt-Tab etc. Removing threading should also improve stability in
Windows emlulators for Max/Linux and simply the path to a possible
portable app. I have rearranged Sailwave internally as well and may
have introduced some weirdnesses. Locales should be better but see
below.
Install into usual place and just reinstall 1.95 build 12 when you need
to. However MAKE A COPY OF ANY .BLW FILES YOU OPEN BECAUSE THE SAVED
FILE FORMAT HAS CHANGED A BIT TOO.
All feedback - good and bad - appreciated…
Note that the download is slightly larger than usual because runtime
debugging options are all turned on.
You can download it (or install from) here:-
[http://www.sailwave.com/binary/sw200b0.exe](http://www.sailwave.com/binary/sw200b0.exe)
During an event the ability to auto open the last file should be useful

Colin
List of changes:-
Add a options for when Sailwave starts to the global options.
Enhance remembering window positions/sizes between sessions.
Change the Windows menu to red if the same file is open more than once.
Tidy icons.
Move development environment to Clarion version 6 (from 5.5).
Fix file not closing sometimes using File+Exit.
Extend competitor fields to specify contact details for all named crew:
Helm, Skipper, Owner, Guest, Navigator, Tactician, Pit, Mast, Bowman,
Main trimmer, Port Trimmer, Starboard Trimmer, Port Grinder, Starboard
Grinder.
Like all competitor fields, these can be renamed and used for other
purposes.
Need ‘extra competitor fields’ on in UI for this. May split this off
into an option of its own.
Add ability to set crew weight in ISAF SCHRS calculator.
Change to a single document interface philosophy a la OpenOffice etc.
This should make Sailwave much more stable under Linux and Apple OS
emulators.
You can now safely open as many Sailwave series as you like -
each one is a completly separate instance of Sailwave.
Use the Windows menu to switch between them -
great for Vista with the thumbnail view when switching between apps.
Update the RYA returns post processing URL.
Fix publishing by email using SMTP - i.e. send now.
Fix SMTP user name and password in global options.
Fix selecting the correct tab when entering Edit+Competitor.
Do some locale fixes. Unfortunately all radio button translations may
be lost
(depends when you last updated) and may need to be redone,
but Sailwave doesn’t use that many… sorry about that.
