A little bit late

Well, we finally got our new version of Flux out the door, over a week later than intended, so I apologise for that, but I guess we're not a real software house until we start missing self-imposed dealines :-)

So, the latest version of Flux has quite a few new features suggested by our lovely userbase (they really are lovely, smell like freshly cut grass on a summer's day). The big addition is support for multiple CSS files, that's going to allow us to provide a lot more pre-packaged add-ons for cool Javascript/CSS effects, so stay tuned for that. It's also to going to make Flux's import of existing sites somewhat better, still not perfect, but it's a marathon not a sprint, and we'll get there in the end.

We've also put in quite a few UI fixes, text-handling in Flux 1.0.14 is now a lot more fluid and more Mac-like. For those who needed Flux to be a bit faster, we've optimised some areas to make it a bit more responsive, particularly on less-nippy Macs like G4s. We're continuing to work on the speed of Flux, so stay tuned.

Finally, I know a lot of you have told us that you need more docs for Flux, and we've got to hold our hands up and say we've failed you somewhat in not providing documentation sooner. The reason is mostly that at the moment, Flux is in a state of, well, flux, and if we wrote docs right now, they'd be out of date in a month. But that's no excuse, and we are working on it, so we'd like a little input, what sort of documentation do you prefer:

1) Traditional instructions.
2) Online FAQ and quick examples.
3) Screencasts

We'd hope to have all three, but if we were to prioritise one of them, what should it be?

A big thank you

Just a quick post to say thank you to everyone who has emailed us and commented on this blog so far, we've had so many positive comments, feature requests, and some <whisper class="under my breath">bug reports</whisper>.

We're trying really hard to get another release out the door this week, incorporating quite a few features that have suggested recently. Please keep them coming, we welcome constructive criticism as much as the praise (that's a lie, I prefer the praise).

Thanks!
