BOARD18 Development History - Pre 2014
BOARD18 Development History - 2014
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.
