First wave of refinements
21:30 | Eingestellt von
Unknown
I've continued to work on the website basing on the initial feedback I've gotten by visitors.
As a result of that, the navigation has been slightly refined for the products in the way that all products are now shown all the time. As we add more products, we will expand the products page itself to give a brief list of all the products and link to them instead of the alltime visible menu, but until then we see this as the best solution.
We have also added and fully enabled our support forum, to give visitors the possibility to ask questions as well as give feedback
The third and largest refinement is the addition of our issue tracking system, which we will be using for all our products.
It allows our customers to notify us of bugs they find and add problem files and screenshots visualizing the problems.
But it also works as place to inform us of feature ideas and technology refinements requests you have.
We intend to intrate this issue tracking system more intuitively into the website for our customers in a future refinement wave, but wanted to have it up and ready as soon as possible to make issue reporting as simple and productive as possible.
We are currently also working on PatchLaunch 1.0.1, a maintenance release, that will refine a different aspects and add new aspects to the documentation to help new users getting in touch with the technology even faster and with less potential hurdles.

Website launch and PatchLaunch release
After many hours of work and changes in our direction, I'm proud to let you all know that our new website just went live and is ready for visitors at http://www.gayasoft.ch
Together with the new website, we also want to inform you that our patching technology, PatchLaunch has been released.
PatchLaunch, to which we introduced you in recent blog entries ( <a href="http://gayasoft.blogspot.com/2009/02/let-me-introduce-patchlaunch-today.html">Patcher</a>, <a href="http://gayasoft.blogspot.com/2009/02/let-me-introduce-patchlaunch-today_28.html">Toolsuite</a> ), offers various powerfull features that help independent game developers to focus on their game or application development and let PatchLaunch handle the updates and application launching.
Further information can be found in the product section of our new page.

Finishing up the initial release version
I'm happy to say that the remaining tasks on the PatchLaunch to do list for the 1.0 release is getting shorter and shorter.
Actually it only contains two more points after I have added further capabilities requested and fixed bugs found by testers of PatchLaunch this week.
These two remaining points on the list.
One of them is the sample that I want to include to show both, the build and the patch side, in a simple environment.
The other missing thing is the documentation. It is not actually missing but I got very good input by the testers on the 0.9 documentation, so I am refining the documentation and expanding it where usefull to make the 1.0 release as smooth as possible.
I'm glad that I got that feedback and especially want to thank yodablaze on the Realm Crafter Standard community ( http://www.realmcrafter.com ) for his inputs, ideas and requests.
The new website has been developed in parallel to PatchLaunch and if everything goes as planned, the new website will go live in the next two weeks, together with the 1.0 release of PatchLaunch
