Progress update on Fern 0.2

It has been a big week for me with almost none of the time being dedicated to Fern but I have made some progress:

Title System now working
New Progress Indicators
Improved 'Deleting' Actions
'New Post' Feature (Not Finished but working)
Refined Application Messages (Not Finished)
Refined Login Interface (Not Final)
Refined Blog and Post tables, now look Leopardy

Possibly the biggest feature upgrade, one that would hold the release of version 0.2 was implementation of an NSTextView instead of the hacked NSTextField. What does that mean for users? You can now hit enter to move to the next line, spell checking and soon font control that will appear on the blog.

How long before you can get Fern 0.2? Hopefully this weekend as I work to add the finishing touches to it. You have to run Leopard and if you don't already have the GData Frameworks installed, please try Fern first as it should copy the frameworks across on first run.

Keep updated on my blog for more official updates.

Cheers
Alex Mills

Update: Development of version 0.2 is now frozen and I'm working towards putting together disk image together.
