Patch for ship designer Saturday 8th June, 2002 Kari Pahula has provided a patch for the ship designer to copy the design's parameters into the selection buffer. This provides a more convenient way to move designs from omsview to your orders. Kari has also helped track down some bugs in omsview, thanks Kari!  A new release Wednesday 22nd May, 2002 After over a year of being effectively abandoned, version 0.9.9 is now available for download. A list of changes can be found either on the download page or in ChangeLog in the source distribution.  A New Name Wednesday 17th Jan, 2001 As has long been discussed, the turn viewer now has a new name: omsview. The oms does stand for something, but it's not terribly relevant, and is mostly a joke, so I won't tell you what. This name makes omsview far easier to package, since it's not quite as undescriptive as "planner."  Website overhaul Wednesday 17th Jan, 2001 The OMS View website is now using the new website system I created for another project, gconfsole. The new system creates the website from components, automatically updating footers and keeping the site consistent. To complement this, there's a small flurry of news for today, and most of the old news has just been dropped. Things should be smoother from now, though.  New Configuration System Wednesday 17th Jan, 2001 I have finally eliminated the dependency on libconf. The turn viewer is now using the GNOME project's gconf, which has good points and bad points. The worst part is there is no longer a simple text file that you can edit - I have created a perl script that will import the settings from your old config file into the gconf database, however. The good side is you no longer need libconf. Incidentally, I am also writing an ncurses interface to gconf, which is the gconfsole project mentioned above. If the gconf team don't do it first, I'll also do a GTK+ interface, so you can still modify the viewer's config without running the viewer itself.  Standard report parser Wednesday 17th Jan, 2001 The turn viewer now parses both XML reports and standard report files, as a configurable option. Standard report parsing is still a little incomplete, but extracts enough information to be usable. Standard reports will be fully parsed by version 1.0.
