CVS Change Log

Recent changes

The Dorgem project is now officially discontinued. See my blog for more details.

19 June 2005: Nightly Builds

I have setup a nightly build system. In http://dorgem.sourceforge.net/test/ you can find a fresh build from the current CVS. The build are generated at 05:00 local time in The Netherlands. Please understand that these builds are based upon the current CVS and therefore there is no garanteed at all about the stability of these builds.

This nightly build system also builds a Change Log, based upon the changes in the CVS. In this file you can see the most recent changes to the CVS and see if it is neccesary to download the nightly build.

Know that the files in that directory are uploaded every night, even if there was no change to the CVS.

24 May 2005: Released 2.1.0

After a beta status for almost 2 years, today I finally released version 2.1.0. The main difference with the last beta 5 is that the web server also has the custom caption.

You might ask, it that all you have done this last year. I spend a lot of time investigating the problems some people reported concurning the stability of Dorgem. I'll afraid I must idmit I haven't find out why this happens. I have held up the release hoping I would find it but all I can think of is that the problems are camera related.

Therefore I will start to try and migrate from the old Video for Windows to the new DirectX way to access the camera. I hope this will solve these problems. There are other advantages about DirectX, like the fact that not all new cameras do have support for VfW anymore. But see the roadmap for more details.

The list with new features since 2.0 is quite long. See the help file for all of them. I hope you all will enjoy this new version!

20 April 2005: IRC Channel

As I mentioned in my weblog, I recently started an IRC channel. For more details see the contact page.

29 September 2004: Website updates

Recently I added some users to the Users page and today I added a roadmap for the next releases.

7 June 2004: Stability problems

I'm having major problems with the stability of Dorgem 2.1.0 beta 5. Probably a memory or resource leak has got in the program. I don't recall beta 5 for this, but I strongly advise to use Dorgem 2.0 in a production environment. For more details see me blog.

13 May 2004: Released 2.1.0 beta 5

When beta 4 was release I thought it was going to be the last release before the official release of version 2.1.0. But shortly after beta 4 was released, several people reported problems with the FTP upload. I found out that the WinINet based FTP caused these problems. Therefore I decides to move away from the WinINet based FTP and use my own. Since this has serious impact on the program I decided to release an extra beta.

Apart from that not much is changed. See the help for the full version history.

I also got a contribution of Petr Vacek. He added support to Dorgem for other common used graphic file format using the DevIL library. This will also be in the next official release and maybe an extra beta will be released for this as well. For more details see me blog.

9 April 2004: Users / Project page

Today I changed two things.

• I added a Users page. The idea is to make it a place where people who are using Dorgem can get their website mentioned. This can increase the traffic to your site. And for new users it is always nice to see the program is actually being used by people.

• Another thing I changed is on the project page. You can not submit a bug anymore without being logged on as a SourceForge.net user. The reason for this that I get bug reports of people saying things don't work, but when they are not loggon on, I can't contact them for further feedback.
  If, for whatever reason, you don't want to register yourself at SourceForge.net, you can obviously report bugs to me directly.
  I hope you understand.

This is the last beta release before the official release of version 2.1.0.

Main differences between beta 3 and beta 4:

• Finished optional captions per storage event. It does not work for the web server yet.
• Made a user interface for the Transparent color of the overlay bitmap caption.
• Passive/Active FTP
• Status bar in main dailog

Please be aware that this is beta software. I can contain bugs and some feature are not fully developed yet. As far as I know the program doesn't crash, but as always no warranty.

The sources are not available for download, but in the CVS.

5 September 2003: Released 2.1.0 beta 3

This is the first public beta release of version 2.1.0. Beta 1 and 2 were send to a small group of people who reported bugs, suggested or implemented new features.

19 February 2003

• Restyled the website. Thanks to Erik Herlaar for the new design.

• Setup a CVS repository. This is to show milestones that are not enough for an offical release. If you are not familiar with CVS, you should look at TortoiseCVS. It integrates CVS into your Explorer and makes live much more easy.

Major new features:

• Web Server for still images
• Added External Program Store Event. Can be useful for SSH, SCP or SFTP upload (feature request #629434), or when you use a script to generate a accompanying web page.

• The filenames for File and FTP storage can be time related.
• Added %G caption format. It displays the date in filename safe yyyymmdd format
• Added %g caption format. It displays the time in filename safe hhmmss format
• Added %z caption format. It displays the difference between the current time and UTC.
• The Text Caption has two types of shadow
• The Text Caption can be read the first line of a text file. So you can generate a text file from another application with dynamic information (like weather info) and put it on the image.
• The length of the Text Caption can be limited (suggested in bug report #655134)
• It is also possible to specify the interval in minutes and hours for all storage events
• Both caption types have a new (sub)dialog to handle the position. Therefore now it is possible to configure the absolute position without editing in the registry.
• Deleted the text caption tag '%W'. See the FAQ (in the help) how this can be handled now (and much more flexible).

• When you add a new event, the star is now properly updated.
• The ordering of the events could get corrupted.
• In the file storage event, when you press '...', the dialog would return to its original state (Bug #642846)

A full version history is in help file of the program.
