FastForward.NET: Beta 3 Released
Yes, I’ve managed to stick to my weekly release schedule – I have just posted the binaries for the third beta. As well as expanding the installer to include the build templates and release notes, the following items have been added/fixed:
- Added a properties display for projects, servers and build queues
- Added global error handling and reporting
- Save the position of pop-up windows so they can be restored when re-opened
- Remove the next build date display if a project does not have a next build time
- Standardised on how the server name is generated – should now always display the local name
- Added the server name to the build visualisations
- Fixed bug where plug-ins can be duplicated
- Plug-ins can now hide the application instead of closing
- Added estimated time of completion
This release is now a lot more stable – I have been able to run it for the entire day on machine without any crashes. However, if you find any issues, let me know 
The binaries can be downloaded from https://www.ohloh.net/p/FastForwardNET/download.

FF.NET: Release
Looks like a neat project but it blows up after I get in the settings. (also a suggestion is to have standard placement of your OK/Cancel buttons on the settings dialog… I clicked the Cancel button the first time I went in there instead of OK).
Here is the contents of the log file:

Thanks for the report Mike, I’ll add it into Trac and fix it.
In the next release I’ve changed the order of the ok/cancel buttons so they match Windows.
