This is a Development Preview of Owl to demonstrate the direction the project is moving.
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
- Release Mac installer
- Main UI: Post list view needs a frame like the thread list view has
- Main UI: Clicking on a thread with unread posts should take you to the first unread post
- New Post Dialog: Add a formatting toolbar to easily add BBCode to the text
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.
- Settings option in context menu does nothing
- Links inside posts do nothing, they should open in a (default) browser window
- 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
