Revision as of 11:35, 1 September 2015
Mid 2012
Started coding BOARD18 application, using as a basis a mock up I had previously created as a "proof of concept".
Started creating the design document in parallel with this coding effort.
May 5, 2013
- Created the BOARD18 project on Gitorious.
- Created a repository for board18 on Gitorious.
Gitorious has since been replaced by github. - Created this WIKI to document and (eventually) publish BOARD18.

This has since been replaced by Bugzilla Issue Tracker. See below.
July 15, 2013
- Published pre alpha release on Gitorious.

- Created a BOARD18 group on Yahoo for testers and other interested parties.
This has since been replaced by the Forum. See below.

October 23, 2014
On October 23, I published release 0.4.0 of BOARD18. This release is upward compatible with release 0.3.x.
This release contains only one enhancement (Issue 29) which removed the automatic resizing of tokens and tiles on maps and stock charts from BOARD18. This change required new versions of a number of the earliest created game boxes. These new versions have been created as part of this release.
More information on this issue is available by clicking on the issue number.
Release 0.4.0 also contains the periodic screen refresh that was to be part of release 0.5.0 and some minor changes to the logon screen.

December 22, 2014

This release contains the following enhancement:
- Issue 33 - Support map hexes in both orientations.
More information on these issues is available by clicking on the issue number.
I also decommissioned the BOARD18 forum this month.
It was not being used much and it was too time consuming to eliminate the spam.
The gandalf-18xx-all@googlegroups.com and the 18xx@yahoogroups.com mailing lists are now being used for BOARD18 announcements.
First Quarter 2015
Release 0.7.0 will be the next minor release.
This release has been abandoned.
Release 1.0.0 will be the next major release.
I am in the process of creating more game boxes for BOARD18 and have created some ease of use enhancements for new game box creation.
I have also created Token and Tile Libraries that will contain properly sized tokens and tiles for BOARD18 game boxes.
The first quarter of 2015 saw no releases of BOARD18 code, but it saw a lot of gamebox activity.
This was due to a number of factors:
- Concentration on game box related activity.
- Other (non BOARD18 related) activities.
- Complete failure of my "notebook compatibility' efforts (Issue 10).
May, 2015
I failed to publish release 0.7.0 of BOARD18. This release has been abandoned.
This release was to contain the following enhancement:
- Issue 10 - Avoid needing actual right click for "right click menu options"
