New milestone build for Chummer is out. Long-ass changelog visible
here.
Milestone build available from
http://stable.chummer.net, per usual.
Thanks go out to our other devs delnar ersike, olstefan, joha4270 and everyone else who's submitted pull requests or issues.
If you're looking to get hold of the developers in a hurry, have suggestions, questions or anything else, you may find it helpful to
join our Discord, but for issues it's best to submit issues via
Github.
Bunch of fixes, not much new stuff for this release.
On a background note, I've started work on refactoring a bunch of the current logic to support us pulling up stumps and migrating the UI to Xamarin or WPF or something else that provides a more modern experience, and potentially allows us to more easily support non-Windows environments, but at a minimum it'll create cleaner code and possibly introduce some new bugs, but that just makes us agile!
One of our other devs, /u/OLStefan, is beginning work on a refactor of how Life Modules work, which will hopefully actually bring them into viability at some point.
I've had some queries lately about what people can do to support the project. Extra coders are of course always welcome, but one of the major things that's been left languishing is documentation for our content systems. While the old wiki (
http://www.chummergen.com/chummer/wiki/) is still serviceable, I'd quite like to pull it all into the wiki on GitHub (
https://github.com/chummer5a/chummer5a/wiki) and update it to the current standards. Doesn't require a massive amount of skill, but an understanding of the data structure would of course be beneficial. If nothing else it's a matter of copying the old content and updating the formatting to match.
If you happen to be or know a UX guy, I'd really like to get some input on ways that we can improve the interface. At this point I don't even see the code - it's just blonde, redhead - so my perspective on presentation is a bit skewed.
We could also do with someone to sanity-check the data, particularly with little-used stuff like Critters, but a general sweep of everything to identify what's missing or non-functional would be greatly appreciated.
Happy Easter, all.
