I’ve pretty much completed all development on BootMii Configuration Editor v2.0 and am now just testing and resolving any issues I find.

This is a pretty major release as it brings a number of changes to the application to address feedback and increase usability.

• Editor Settings Menu
  Allow you to change and save the editors settings.  Currently the only 2 settings that can be changed are selected skin, and selected language

  
  

• Skins
  Allows you to change the colour scheme used in the application.  If you prefer bootmii configuration editor in black/green/white scheme as it was in v0.1 and v1.0, you can now run it in this way.  If you like the ‘windows’ look and feel, then you can run it like this.  If you’re feeling really brave, you can edit the XML file and create your own colour scheme/skin!

  
  

• Internationalisation
  The editor now supports operation in multiple langauges.  Currently only English and Spanish languages are available.  If you would like to provide a translation for any other language, please contact me using the form here and I’ll send you the language file for translation.  Once v2.0 is released, if you create a translation for another language, please email me the file and I’ll include it in an official release.

  
  

• Lastest Version Checking
  When the editor starts up, it communicates with a URL on this website to confirm what is the latest version of the editor, and compares this reported version with the version you are running.  If you are not running the latest version, then you will be informed that a later version is available for you to download should you wish to do so.

I’ve tested these quite intensively.   The internationalisation has some issues with none ASCII characters (something to with the XML library I believe) so any translations can not currently use any ‘special characters’ outside of the ASCII standard (for example umlauts/accents on letters, or theFrench oe character)

The version checking has also been tested with and without a network connection and appears to be find.  I’ve also taken down the page on the website, and everything still seems to work ok.  As a precaution, I’ve added the ability in the XML file to disable online update checking completely should you require this or if it causes you issues.  This can be done by changing a ‘1’ to a ‘0’ in the XML file in the following location: languages/settings/update/@check

I’m still aiming for a July the 4th release, though it could be earlier if everything goes well.
