R2.2 Update


Welcome to the new Snarl blog!

Things may have been quiet on the surface (and even on CVS if you're follow code updates on there) but that's because I've been working on the style engines - and the good news is, it's almost done.

The original plan was to use the existing style type library as distributed with R2.1 but it ended up with so many tweaks, kludges and duplicated code within Snarl itself to cope with the V1 and V2 styles that it became ridiculous.

So, frustrating though it was, I created a brand new type library loosely based on the V2 interfaces. This has now been incorporated into Snarl and most of the style engines - certainly all the engines which are more than 75% complete - have been converted over to work with it, and at the same time I've also been able to incorporate numerous fixes, tweaks and such like into Snarl itself.

Anyhow, always end with a song. I can't sing so a screenshot showing the 'Pebble' style (now renamed to 'Just Black') and the modified default style in action (along with the forthcoming SnarlToDo extension) will have to do.
