3.0 Running Updates...

Much of the program that doesn't need a major overhaul is plugged back in to the main interface; the program settings, the pieces that don't involve outside connections, and most of the new things are plugged in and working to the extent where they can right now. The v3 and WER hooks are also written, but the hook-agnostic portions, which are the largest part of the changes, are still untouched.

The plan at the moment is that once I get a stable system with these changes, alphas will start being done until the program gets every little thing back working right. Once I get that done, I will start working on tacking on two more things: name-ranges in pairings, and a networking system.

Update 1
Pairings have been launched successfully for the first time in 3.0. It's horribly incomplete, doesn't take byes or program settings into account, and displays your DCI number instead of your name, but it's at least launching!

Update 2 (10/28/10)
Today was kind-of interesting. Some minor improvements have shown up for 3.0, but I also decided to test the modularity of my code today, in order to look into some things I may want when scorekeeping next weekend. 30 minutes later, I had something that worked so well, it made me shift gears internally and decide to release a 2.2 update while continuing work on the 3.0 update. More on this later, but I intend on releasing 2.1 by the end of the month, with 2.2 coming in full release in mid-November.
