Documentation

Download Page

Release Document

• released features:
  • External
    • Page object alignment - working as expected.
    • Selecting multiple page objects - working as expected.
    • Frame bounding properties, for example margins - padding works for image and media frames.
    • Audio and video support - currently using JMF, which loads the whole resource into the memory, thus limitting the media size to the available memory to the java VM. Supporting .avi, .mov for video and .wav for audio.
    • Undo manager - working as expected.
    • Halos and huds - more halos and huds added.
    • More menu support
  • Internal
    • Property thread safety - already available.
    • Initial plugin support
    • Page Template core support - added frame and page template support. Currently templates cannot be saved/loaded.
  • Community server
    • Build Server - available at http://sophie2.org:8080/

User Documentation

• This should be the documentation for all features available in the released downloadable. This includes new features, old features and updates done to them. This way we could iteratively form the final user docs.
• Currently at ITERATION_04/Release/UserDocumentation

Installation Instructions

• installation instructions (MAC/Windows/Linux). Mac java tweaking instructions.

Product

IMPORTANT

Always write where is the result of the task you completed. This would be the changeset with thorough commit comment for coding and a link to the wiki page for a document.
