WOMBAT status

Hi folks, development around WOMBAT hasn't really slowed down, despite the lack of releases recently. We're currently working hard on bringing the back-end data model into a shape that will allow us to add more features to WOMBAT more easily. I'm currently busy writing a svn xml parser that will load the metadata into a SQL database, instead of relying on files like we used to. This, together with a major overhaul of the overal design of the data model, gives us better integration with the SVN backend. A next step in this design will be tracking svn updates file by file instead of forcing a re-scan of the whole data set. Stay tuned for updates.

WOMBAT 0.2.1 released.

The WOMBAT development team is happy to release WOMBAT 0.2.1 This is mostly a bug fix release fixing an uncaught exception when trying to create thumbnails for interlaced PNG files. It also has some visual updates, displaying all available files for the root directory and allowing to narrow down the number of files by browsing into subdirectories, scrollable divs to better display text files in place and a couple of others. Note that the wombat demo website moved to http://wombat.worldforge.org/, thanks to Anders (aka. Demitar) for hosting.

WOMBAT 0.2.0 released.

The WOMBAT team is happy to announce the release of WOMBAT 0.2.0 This second alpha release of WOMBAT is the first to feature integration with Subversion.

Other Features Include:

• Advanced Searching: Search by author, file type or modified date from within the repository.
• A new stylish logo from Orin Shepherd at Coalmarch Productions (not a feature, but we're counting it as a definite addition.)
• Thumbnail rendering for "most" image assets.
• Inline file-detail viewing for quick side-by-side comparisons.
• Application status screen with helpful statistics.
• A better browsing experience on the whole.

Of course the live demo shows the current status.
