BlueGriffon^TM

• still working on the Projects Manager that does not share a single line of code with Nvu/Kompozer's site manager (BlueGriffon is entirely rewritten from scratch). The associated Publish button will also be much more powerful. Mime Cuvalo, the author of FireFTP, has formally authorized me to use his ftp stack's code inside BlueGriffon. I must say that implementing all the ftp high-level features is now hyper-simple. Thanks a lot Mime !

• lot of work on the Image Insertion dialog,
• even more work on the Projects Manager, totally rewritten because I was not happy with the former iteration of it. If you remember the old Site Manager of Nvu and the Publish Settings of Mozilla Composer and Nvu, they'll look totally prehistoric compared to the new Projects Manager and its integration in other dialogs of the app (links, image, external objects). Publishing (on a remote site) will be MUCH better than in Nvu, publishing all external objects including stylesheets and even imported stylesheets... It will also be integrated with the Templates Manager so you can add in one-click a page template you just downloaded from the Web. Yay!

Starts taking shape...

The new Image insertion dialog in BlueGriffon will allow to set a CSS box shadow and a CSS roll-over. Other suggestions?

• TableLayout add-on was horked, it's now fixed (Venkman and JSMs... pffff...). It's also now 100% undoable.
• more fun with the cssHelper
• Edit menu: undo, redo, cut, copy, paste, delete and more

JSCSSP, our CSS parser in JavaScript, is now used by BlueGriffon to preserve all the contents of stylesheets, including unrecognized properties, unrecognized at-rules and comments between rules or between declarations (other comments not preserved yet). On a side note, JSCSSP now passes all relevant tests in the CSS 3 Namespaces Test Suite.

A preliminary (and incomplete) list of the add-ons you'll be able to add to BlueGriffon when it reaches a more stable state.

A Mac OS X build (built and tested under Snow Leopard, may crash at startup under Leopard...) for your testing pleasure.

Important note: this is a strict xulrunner app. There's not a single change applied to xulrunner's trunk.

• more source view work and debug
• now using Laurent Jouanneau's serializer for XHTML
• persisting properties in New File dialog
• New Document wizard was horked
