We had hoped to get some demonstration of how to create plugins for the Build Automator out before the end of the week but that will not happen until next week. We have been battling air conditioning problems in the office since Wednesday and working in over 30°C/85°F is not exactly inspiring so things have been quite slow
We had to replace the coil in the indoor unit and we are finally getting a guy today to do that
Even so, we have been pushing through and have made some changes and improvements to the IDE. One of the things we got reported was that if the Build Automator was used as a part of a batch file that was run overnight from a schedule it would halt because the Build Automator showed the logfile and did not terminate. So we added a /NL parameter to the command line which can be used with the /E paramter to Not show the Log file.
We also discovered that if no items were in the Action Item list, it was still possible to execute action items, update action items etc. which should not have been possible. We have gone through Project Window to make sure that options are not available when they shouldn't be. This will make the IDE safer and easier to work with.
With the small fixes and stuff that we have made we will probably kick out a hotfix build next week to keep everybody upto date.
