Jacman source

Thursday, December 28th, 2006

I didn’t realise how many people would actually want to look at the Jacman source. As it turns out since I released v0.4 I hadn’t made the source available (through sheer laziness). I’ve had quite a few emails and PMs and so I have finally put an end to this omission this morning.

The source is now available via the Jacman Project page.

Non-Brits may not have had the pleasure of the Britain’s finest newsreader/interviewer, Jeremy Paxman. Here’s how he signed-off last week, informing viewers that he wasn’t 100% supportive of the editor’s future improvements.

Jacman v0.4 released

Friday, December 8th, 2006

It’s been a while but the latest version of Jacman was finally rolled out today. Functionality wise, there’s not more to report on - I’ve added some filters to the Install dialog which should be helpful for those who simply like to browse around the package repos. The application basically received a bit of a face-lift. A new look and feel looks a lot fresher in my opinion. The eye candy has also been boosted, but it’s not easy to spot unless you are using Jacman itself (try hovering over a button. Nice, eh?!)

Give it a whirl and see what you think. Also, I’ll never say no to any Java developers who wish to help out and become part of the Jacman team :)
