Control Runner 4 Beta 1 has been released
Posted by admin on October 26, 2008 in launch, news
This should be the first time in my life that I have completed a programming tasks in less time than what I had originally anticipated!
For that reason, I have just released the first beta version of Control Runner 4 a week before expected.
What’s new on Control Runner 4
I have been posting the most important new features of Control Runner in three previous posts. Please take a look at them if you haven’t seen them already:
Some pending Issues
- The help file is not written and therefore the help buttons are not operative.
- Most new planned options are being shown and saved on the Configuration dialog and the Program Button dialog, but some of them are not yet operative: button ‘hotkeys’, ‘use secondary monitor’ and ‘launch as administrator’.
- Also, the new ‘Special targets’ button does nothing.
- The new protection and locking options have not been implemented yet.
- The icon management logic in the program button dialog should still be rewritten.
- Some program options will not be available for all types of targets. These options will be disabled dynamically on the program button dialog.
- Hints and tab orders of controls in the different dialogs may be wrong.
- The "Zone Activation" mechanism is not implemented yet.
- There should be some small glitches not yet discovered.
Apart from the above, the program is mostly stable. I have been using version 4 in all our XP computers for a couple of weeks and experienced no problems. Preliminary tests on Vista are also positive.
