A new must have update to the GUI Builder has just been posted.
AVD's GUI Builder Component v0.11.0.4 includes a "Load from XML" function,
which now understands how to reload the XML project files and restore over
600 possible object attributes to the same state they were saved out as.
In short this version can now Save, Reload, and Generate to C source code
without forgetting what you named each object, or the how you set a given
layout group if you quit and reload.
Please downloaded the new version from the Members Only area today.
The AVD Template Project v1.2.0.0 is now available
for public download and use. This version is directly compatible with the GUI Builder's C source
output and includes several nice new features as well. (Like multiple window support)
As always the AVD Template Project is FREEWARE - Enjoy!
November 19th, 2005:
At long last any more hours than I care to mention, the first Alpha version of the GUI Builder is now available.
AVD's GUI Builder Component v0.10.0.76 along with it's required AVD Template Project v1.2.0.0 (same archive) can be
downloaded now from the Members Only area.
This marks the beginning of weekly updates of the GUI Builder as we quickly move through Beta, Release Candidates,
to final release. Debug versions will also be posted for Beta Testers.
November 12th, 2005:
New SCREENSHOTS of the AVD GUI Builder v0.10.0.25 are now online.
They show a glimpse of the current version, which will be made available to subscribers within the next few days.
I have to finish programming in a few more ReAction/BOOPSI Object Tags -> XML and C Source value mappings so the
GUI Builder can Load & Save to XML and Generate the C Source code for every object and value tags that the current
version can build.
Thank you to everyone for your continued patience and support.

September 10th, 2005:
AVD Template v1.1.0.0 is now available.
The latest AVD Template Project has been updated for better compatibility with the new
AmigaOS4(tm) SDK (51.15) and GCC 3.4.4 & 4.0.1 (Native & Cross) compilers.
This latest update also features a new automated versioning system for projects built using the template.
The build files automatically bump the version number for you each time you build. This virtually eliminates
the need to manually update your programs version numbers as your project grows, since the versions displayed
in the command line usage, in the window's title bar, in the commodity exchange display, and even embedded for
the system "version" command, are all updated for you automatically.
As always, you can live browse the latest source code under the Features area,
and read the license and installation instructions HERE as well.
August 25th, 2005:
The latest AVD Update! Newsletter is now online in the Members Only area. Enjoy.
August 23nd, 2005: **UPDATE New SCREENSHOTS of v0.3.0.72 now posted.**
The next stable release of AVD's GUI Builder component, v0.3.0.72, is now available in the Members Only area
for review by subscribers. This version makes significant strides in the area of manipulating the layout and position of the ReAction objects and maintaining
a live real-time view of the changes at the same time. Subscribers should see the instructions link for more details and features list for the new version.
A new version of The SDK Browser containing the first tests of the new intelligent hyper-linking is now also available for subscribers.
You can now double-click of any text within the SDK Browser's display that appears to be a function call, and trigger an automatic lookup
for that call. If a match is found then the function will be highlighted (but not auto-loaded). Simply pressing "space" or clicking on the
newly found name will cause the new function to be displayed. This is a very handy way to move around and follow the "SEE ALSO" suggestions
at the bottom of most Autodoc displays.
Further updates of the GUI Builder should be available more quickly now that the core functionality is finally complete.
July 22nd, 2005:
The first early look at AVD's GUI Builder component is now online in the Members Only area
for subscribers to download and play with. Keep in mind that this is still a VERY early version and is missing many features at this point.
It is being provided only to give people a chance to see how the real-time interface builder works, and just how simple it is (and will be) to use.
The latest build of The SDK Browser is also being provided for those subscribers that are not also registered owners of the standalone version
of the SDK Browser.
This early demo of the GUI Builder, as well as the latest SDK Browser, should also be seen by attendees of the AmiGBG Show
in Sweden within hours. :-) I would like to extend a special thanks to Per Johansson as well as to Guru Meditation for
offering to present the software at the show, and for putting up with my last minute updates!
