ParallelFox 0.7 Released

I just released ParallelFox 0.7 on VFPX.  This release features… wait for it… documentation!  That was the big piece missing from ParallelFox.  I created ParallelFox.chm with West Wind’s excellent Html Help Builder.  The help file is designed to be used in conjunction with the training videos I made previously. Use the help file as a quick reference or short overview of topics. Watch the training videos for more in-depth discussions, examples, and techniques.

This release also includes improved IntelliSense. ParallelFox takes advantage of Doug Hennig’s Favorites for IntelliSense, which Doug also used in the My project for Sedna. This greatly simplifies the ParallelFox interfaces and provides extra details while you are coding.  See the “installation” topic in the help file for details.

There were a few minor tweaks/improvements made to the source code as well.  If you have any questions or comments, I will be watching the discussion area on VFPX and the VFPX/Sedna category on Universal Thread.

FoxTabs Finally Hits 1.0

Five years in the making (I say that like it’s a good thing), or even longer if you go back to when I first started playing with this concept, FoxTabs has finally reached the coveted “production release” status on VFPX.  Actually, it has been stable for quite some time now, but since FoxTabs works so closely with the internals of VFP, it’s the kind of project you want to let incubate for a while so you can shake out all the bugs.  Causing C5’s in the VFP IDE doesn’t win you any popularity contests!  Many developers have been running it, and the few bug reports I get are pretty obscure, so I feel confident in moving it up to production status.
