It's been a while since the last update, that's mostly due to the fact that there were no bug reports until a few days ago when we received two of them at once! Although 1 was a minor bug and the other was a feature request. Please state so when you submit feature requests to make it clearer for the devs, thanks :)
The other bit of news is that the next updates will bring some really nice features with them.
The first being the Navigation plugin can now support unlimited nesting, search supports nesting and also lets you know the structure of the child all the way up to it's top level owner. So you can now build much more complex navigation structures without using two instances of the navigation manager.
Bojinx Core includes some performance improvements a small bug fix that was very minor, it was to do with disposed response not being fired at the correct time in some instances, but it's not used internally so the effect was minimal. The other improvements include more response types and we are hoping to have a system in place that will allow you to listen for responses from multiple locations, but this is a big maybe, it needs a lot of testing so it might not make it in.
Some people have also asked me where the Bojinx framework has been used.
Here are some projects of the top of my head, I know quite a few have used them in other smaller projects:
- Photobox - Photo printing, books etc.
- ZangBeZang - Phone & Media management application using C++ wrapper and desktop service. In closed Beta right now
- Babuki - Under development - Massive online gaming and communications platform integrated with Facebook and others.
- Traffic - Under development - Massive CRM based AIR and Web applications - Development time frame is 1.5 years to go!
There are a few others that I'm working on but nothing worth noting, UBS is on the list of could be's after some consultation and a couple of others. They were quite impressed with it's capabilities and the time that could be saved, which leads me to believe I'm not putting enough effort into documentation so expect that to get better over time.
As you can see it's not used by as many people as Cairngorm is but I hope to change that with constant refinement and new plugins as time goes on, as for testing Bojinx is being tested actively by multiple agencies that use it, for instance one of the companies listed above has 4 testers putting it through it's paces every day.
