Build Automator Blog

We have been so busy lately working on the next build that I haven't taken time to write!

We released a new build last week, May 15, and have released a few minor build since then to fix things. We had problems with our Clarion compile actions. We have received report from one of our tester that this problem is now solved. The fix will be included in the next build which is scheduled for Thursday, May 22. We also received reports about problems with the Project Items, which we have duplicated and we are about half way done fixing those.

The Web Update is now fully functional and future updates will be released as web updates from now on. You can of cource download the full install if you want to.

This week's build will include documentation about how to create new actions using the Developer Edition, but most of it is behind the scenes work on separating the Standard and Developer Editions.

One of the things that we wanted to do in order to separate the editions was to create a script to rebuild the Build Automator. That includes compiling all code, Clarion and Visual C++ code, and compile the standard install and the web update. We can now truly say that the Build Automator builds itself! It will compile and prepare each build from now on, fully automatically!

Next week's release will include the Maintenance plan setup in the software. We will start releasing Maintenance plan code to customers who purchased before June 1 in the first week of June and all customers will receive it before we release new updates after June 1st.

We will keep you updated as we get closer to the release of the new version, but so far everything looks good and the new build should be on schedule
