Cocoalicious: Not Dead Yet!
After a long summer hiatus, I’ve finally started working on Cocoalicious again. A few nights ago I finally got around to converting the project to Xcode 2.1 (which means that, thanks to Xcode’s new file naming and CVS’s maddening inability to remove directories, contributors will now have to remember to open the “Delicious Client.xcodeproj” file, not the “Delicious Client.xcode” file). And, more interestingly, last night I checked in significant performance enhancements to the existing favicon code, meaning that the current CVS version is 75% of the way to a shippable favicon implementation (I just need to make it so that favicons are downloaded for new posts, and provide a menu item to refresh the entire icon cache).
Other priorities for the next release include improved authentication (which has mostly been implemented by Michael Smochko), some Automator actions (which have been mostly implemented by Cocoalicious AppleScript czar Armin Briegel), and a universal binary. I’ll also try to address as many of the bugs Jon Hicks and others have been good enough to report on the Sourceforge site.
Finally, if you’ve contacted me recently about contributing and I haven’t responded, please accept my apologies. Like Rentzsch, my email latency has been extremely high lately due to general summer busyness and my move to a new job, and the project (with its half-completed favicon implementation) wasn’t really in great shape for other people to work on.
