Owl Preview (version 0.0.1, released May 5th 2013)

This is a Development Preview of Owl to demonstrate the direction the project is moving.

`Currently only vBulletin 3.X message boards are supported`

Complete Features

  • Add/Remove message boards from client
  • Modify existing message board
  • Lua parser support
  • vBulletin 3.x Support
  • UI Visual Notification on New Posts

Todo List

  • General UI needs to be cleaned up and unified
  • Release Mac installer
  • Post list view needs a frame like the thread list view has
  • Clicking on a thread with unread posts should take you to the first unread post
  • Add a formatting toolbar to the New Post dialog in order to easily add BBCode to the text
  • Add support for Multi-Post quoting

Known Issues

  • Green highlight of unread forum remains until auto-refresh, even after all threads in a forum have been read (Issue #27)
  • Green highlight intermittently fails to show even when there are unread threads in a forum (Issue #28)
  • If `forum` that has focus gets new posts, these threads are not displayed or highlighted as expected after an automatic refresh
  • If `thread` that has focus gets new posts, there is no indicator in the post view that there are new posts
  • Owl fails to connect to a board after a board has been added, requires a restart of the client
  • When quoting a post, the post's HTML shows in the 'New Post' window, should be BBCode. (Issue #31)
  • Settings option in context menu does nothing (Issue #29)
  • Links inside posts do nothing, they should open in a (default) browser window (Issue #30)
  • Navigation is not consistent on panes - single click on forum pane changes forums but a double-click is required on the thread pane to change threads
  • If the forum structure on a board changes, those changes are not synced to Owl
