Owl Preview

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

• 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. (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
