ZenDoc Production on Hold

(01-20-07) Lately I haven't been able to work on ZenDoc. I've been busy with work and keeping up with the holidays among other things. I also got a Nintendo Wii and have been playing around with that a bit. I took a particular fascination in the Mii characters and started a side project for editing them online: Mii Editor. This project has been taking most of my free time as of late and I probably won't get back to ZenDoc until I've completed it.

I'm still hoping to get the next version of ZenDoc out before the next CS release. That's the plan. :)

Additional ZenDoc 2.0 Features

(12-10-06) I've been working on version 2.0 a little here and there (though I have been really busy with work lately) and so far things has been coming along nicely. Presently it seems members are being inherited in subclasses from their superclasses and it seems types are recognized when one class within a collection uses a type defined in another class of that collection, but I also wanted to mention a couple of other features that will be in 2.0 that I hadn't mentioned before. These include:

  • Access to a class's source code. This will allow templates to include a parsed file's source code directly within the document if desired.
  • Support for sorting. Now TemplateBeginRepeat loops in templates can be sorted alphabetically or numerically in ascending or descending order and based on any code or comment value.
  • An Ignore Whitespace option. You now have the option of ignoring whitespace within tempate tags which should help clean up the generated HTML.
  • A new TemplateBeginCommand tag. This tag lets you run a custom PHP function on the contents of this tag block. This creates a new level of customization for templates not before possible.

Though a working prototype is still a ways off, I will intend to have a beta version available for download (though not live as pretty much all the new features are for local documentation) when ready.

Server-side Site Corruption, Lost a Couple of Weeks

(12-09-06) Apparently my site had a mid-life crisis and decided to go all corrupt on me. This also happened right around a scheduled backup making my last, usable backup a week or so old. I lost the new site design (which I should be able to bring back I think) and there was a while when the online version of ZenDoc rolled back to the beta. ZenDoc 1.5.1 is back up now, though. And everything is mostly OK... for the most part
