AutoWallpaper 5.5 RC4
October 30, 2010AutoWallpaper 5.5 RC4 is now available for download. This version adds support for wallpaper files that contain international characters that may have previously caused AW5.5 problems.

AutoWallpaper 5.5 RC3b Windows
October 11, 2010After what I thought was a final RC for AutoWallpaper, I found that one of the test computers I use was still having issues with mis-aligned monitors. It turns out that the variable that is used to tell the cycler if the monitor configuration is in a grid or not was set up incorrectly. RC3b,… [Read More]

AutoWallpaper 5.5 RC2b

This has been corrected and a new installer has been uploaded. UPDATE: I have found another glitch. This time… [Read More]
AutoWallpaper 5.5 RC2
October 4, 2010A number of very annoying little issues plagued the first release candidate, fortunately I believe these are now resolved.

AW5.5 Progress report
September 11, 2010I must apologies for the lack of updates recently, I’ve been crazy busy with my day job and that has prevented me from spending much time developing my own projects. AutoWallpaper 5.5 is coming along very nicely, I now have an internal build using the new category engine and is finally capable of changing the… [Read More]
AutoWallpaper 5.5 progress report
August 7, 2010Just thought I’d check in and update everyone with my coding progress for version 5.5 of AutoWallpaper. So far so good, I’ve very nearly completed all the necessary codebase changes necessary to drive the new data store and get the whole thing up to the latest compiler version; which as regular followers will know caused… [Read More]
