New in Scout-App 2.12.12 (Sep 27, 2017)
- Features:
- A complete re-design of the FTUX (#273)
- Drag & Drop projects to Import (#259)
- Drag & Drop project to Scout-App executable or shortcut icon. This will launch Scout-App and import the project.
- Scan for projects folders and display an animated count of projects found on the FTUX screen.
- Multi-Project import outside of FTUX view.
- New theme, created by w3suli (#287)
- Bug fixes:
- The project image auto-guesser was silently failing sometimes. It's been improved in several ways so it will better guess your project's icon.
- Multiple translators can now be credited for the same language.
- If you are not using a 32-Bit or 64-Bit machine, there was a console error that is resolved. However Scout-App still only supports 32-Bit and 64-Bit.
- We now auto-remove the duplicate CSS3 sass mixin file on run for local development of Scout-App.
- I'd previously fixed a small bug where there was an extra return in the code block of error messages. Turns out that after removing the extra return it looked right on Windows, but Linux had no return at all. Re-fixed this for both OS's now.
- Tech Debt:
- Created a Node script to automatically download our Translation file from Google Sheets and process it into a JSON dictionary. No more manually creating JSON! This will make updating translations super easy.
- Updated Scout-App's translation engine to use the new dictionary JSON.
- Added in Sass Linting and ESLint for JavaScript. Linted all files.
- Added in EditorConfig file.
- Updated to Node LibSass Bindings v3.8.0 so users will be able to take advantage of the latest Sass language features available.
- Marketing:
- Web Tools Weekly gave Scout-App a shout out in issue 163
- Stickers! We've partnered with DevSwag, the same company that Sass uses for stickers.
- We're now in control of the AlternativeTo.net page for Scout-App.
- Project Management:
- Updated instructions for running Scout-App locally for development
- Created GitHub issues based on all remaining tasks on the original to-do list, so we can now just focus on what's in the Issues page.
- Wrote up UX document, to cover the guiding principles of Scout-App's design and development.
- Added instructions for how to update the translation files
- Translations:
- "Hungarian" translation by w3suli (#287)
- "Vietnamese" translation by baivong (#290)
- "Chinese Traditional" translation by shiaoshin (#291)
- "Spanish" updated by ireneml-fr. (#294)
- "French" updated, presumably, by Arthur Tesse (#293)
New in Scout-App 2.6.8 (Oct 29, 2016)
- Features:
- Smaller Windows distribution sizes. (11% smaller)
- Warn users if their input folder does not contain Sass files (#266)
- Bug fixes:
- Scout-App 2.0.2 and 2.5.7 would not run on Windows 32-bit, 2.6.8 resolves this. (#270)
- Improved accuracy of home path for OSX, because sometimes it reports that your username is "root" instead of the actual name... for some reason? Brilliant.
- Project Management:
- Began process of creating GitHub issues for all items on the to-do list
- Started UX conversation about redesigning FTUX (#273)
- Updated documentation for translations.
