XWP 1.0.17: any availability date ?
Lars:
Out of interest but also need (I had raised 2 tickets): is there a rough availability date for XWP 1.0.17 ?
I was curious and looked into the XWorkplace/XWPHelpers SVN repos but could not see any checkins from Rich. I therefore suspect that currently, he only has done the changes to his local copy.

Normally, I don't release a new version of XWP until there are enough new features and bug fixes to make it worth the user's time and effort to install it. That typically occurs every 12-18 months (the last one was released 4 1/2 months ago). As it happens, I think I've achieved this "critical mass" sooner than usual, so I expect to do a new one in the next several months.

I usually keep the Netlabs repo at the same level as the most recent release. Anyone who builds it himself and then runs into problems can compare his results to the released binaries to determine if he introduced the issue or if it was already there but hadn't been noticed before. Further, I don't think it's helpful for other builders to have to wade through my mistakes and delays (i.e. a commit, 2 fixes for that commit, another commit a month later to finish it, etc, etc.). Before I commit anything, I consolidate all of my patches for a given feature or bug-fix into a single coherent patch that can be rolled-back easily if the builder wishes.
Lars:
ok, thanks for the answer.

Hello Rich
If it is possible to kindly request you a new features for the next XWorkplace. I would like if you can take a look at "Win95key" (some discussion about it here) and also to the XWP ticket #11. Something when the user can define the "Modifier Keys" and play with those to create combinations of keys. It does not has to be as I suggested on the ticket, you may have a different idea.
Just in case in OS/2 we don't use the "Windows Key", we call it the "Warp Key" ;D ;D ;D
Thanks.

Another feature could be files preview (image, pdf, text, ecc.) with some sort of keyboard shortcut (in OSX is the spacebar key).
Thanks!
