v2.0 Release Candidate 1

PLCEdit v2.0 release candidate 1 is released today.
Happy it’s cristmas time... Happy

I think it is time to freeze the current development status
after two betas. PLCEdit has reached the same amount
of functionality as v0.9.9 with the old development toolkit.
Some new features are also included. The handling of
CoDeSys v2.3.x .EXP files was improved - I think it was
a knock-out criterion for this version.

What's left or missing in this version?
The crc checksum support for Sucosoft POU files gives me
a headache. I don’t know if it will be done for version 2.0.

Next, I have some ideas about translating the Moeller function
block calls into CoDeSys (and other distributions) compliant
calls. A menu to include/call function blocks wich are opened
in PLCEdit is one of my favorites.
I think this are good milestones for version 2.1.

The actual todo list:
- fixing some minor bugs, wich are still hiding
(- Sucosoft checksum support (n/a))

Public Beta Release v2b2

I have decided to release the second public beta with one
open issue of the latest ToDo list. The needed revision of
the CoDeSys import and export function needs more time,
but I think you want to see the new version with its nice
improvements. The work on the release candidate will go
on starting at the end of june.
Please report all bugs of the actual beta version.

The new todo list:
- new settings file handling (v2rc1)
- better CoDeSys support (v2rc1)
- timer based autosave (v2rc1)
- Help files (v2rc1)

Public Beta Release v2b1

PLCEdit public beta v2b1 is released today.

After a couple of month in development I'm pleased to present
the first public beta of PLCEdit v2. Version 2 offers not really
new features. This version is primarily a rewritten version 0.9.9.
But the new code base offers some enhancements and opens
up the way for new ideas. As a great point the new code base
is platform independent. Now it works on Windows as well as
on Mac OS X and Linux.

What's left or missing in this version?
The actual todo list:
- language translations
- Help files
- CoDeSys .exp files enhancements
- timer based autosave of opened files
- save sessions as project option
- export as PDF file
- interface enhancements
- fixing some minor bugs
