A note about the rather high version number of JayReader
Some may wonder why I picked 1.0B as my initial release of JayReader. I chose this for one simple reason. It meets every goal in my origional plan. All new features and upgrades will be weighted against this version, if something can’t be done in a way that makes the initial feature set harder to use, it won’t be done at all. Any of the internal development that preceded the 1.0 mark for JayReader simply wasn’t worth releasing, and thats why the initial release was the full release… plain and simple.
The next version I’m likely to release is likely going to be 1.1 as well, as theres not a good way to keep the current interface as is and add extra features (there is all of two planned at the moment, even those I don’t feel can be stuffed into the toolbar) without cluttering the interface. 1.1 is likely going to have a drawer on the side for speech options, with only the play and pause buttons staying in the toolbar. I’m not currently working twords 1.1 as I’m going back into a research and design phase. Time will only tell when I get that out. Also I’m in a planning stage on a few more projects… so this place may get a tad more interesting sooner or later.
