PR 1.0

Post by poirot »

I've been working in the debugging of PR 1.0 beta -that is very buggy- and fixed a lot of bugs. I want to thank the creators of Valgrind and Gdb for those two great tools that helped a lot finding bugs and memory leaks. The release is not delayed, when PR 1.0 beta was released I decided to keep this as the last released version for a very long time until I come out with PR 1.0 after at least 6 months of testing. The current problem is in the compression stuff, that is the most difficult code to debug and it has at least 2 known bugs (reports corruption when it's not and reads wrong the memory). Those bugs could keep me busy for a long time -I hope not-. After fixing all bugs I'll send people some copies so they can test it (if you are interested just mail me). For those who can't wait, if I had to schedule or say an approximate release time I would say PR 1.0 could be finished in September. Who knows, may be it comes together with FreePrince :)
