GitHub Issues is Great!

  • Helps keep track of what can be worked on, etc.
  • Labels
    • Tells if its a bug, term enhancement, …
  • Made a new label: “possibly invalid feature”
  • Classic case:
  • User: “It’s a bug!”

Developer: “It’s a feature?..!”

Menustrip Artifacts

  • Get rid of ugly fuschia artifacts
  • How?
    • Change the “TextRenderHint” for the Menustrip
    • Use “AntiAlias” Render Hint
      • But it doesn’t hint
    • This may seem confusing
      • “It fades the text, to a blank background”

Auto Updates

  • Also via a tighter integration with GitHub (Releases)
  • How?

    • Get changes from current version till now
    • Prompt user on startup (if setting is on)
    • Download, update, restart application

The Plugin System

  • Uses Microsoft’s MEF, the managed extensibility framework.
  • Allows for dynamic loading of plugins at startup with ease(and reasonably nice looking metadata attributes)

7 of 10

The Plugin System

  • MEF loads exported metadata from any assembly which exports a specific type, even if it is in the main executable.
    • Plugins may be included directly in the main executable and be loaded.
