Oh man, it's interesting to see how software projects can go completely off course. What was initially thought to be a few small changes to the way the framework dealt with graphical components (buttons, lists etc) turned into a big and fairly complex rewrite. I think of myself as an experienced developer with two decades worth of experience, both from professional and private projects, and it's not often things like this happen, but sometimes they do, and every time it happens I'm taken by surprise... You would have thought that I would learn to identify situations like this...
Anyway, the rewrite is done and after a few rounds of beta testing I think I might be ready to make a new release soon. The new version will not contain a lot of changes that anyone would notice, but underneath the surface the code is nice and polished :-) Source and comments: http://www.dwellergame.com/2013/03/soon-i-promise.html
