New Features in IMmerge 1.0
January 11, 2010
Here is a summary of new features to expect in the next major version of IMmerge, 1.0.
Graphical User Interface
The most obvious change from the user’s perspective is the introduction of a GUI at last! No more having to move and rename your log folders, as you can now select folders with your mouse. This is written in Java Swing and will use native look-and-feel of your OS where available. (I suggest you keep Java up-to-date. Many GUI improvements were made in Java 6.) It is also threaded properly so that if the merge operation errors or hangs (*knocks on wood*), it won’t take down the entire program. A log of IMmerge’s actions will be available like before.
New Command-Line Interfaces
