]]> http://www.sailwave.com/version-2-5-1/feed 0 Does Sailwave run on Android / iPad / Mac…? http://www.sailwave.com/development-update-april-2012 http://www.sailwave.com/development-update-april-2012#comments Fri, 27 Apr 2012 08:04:51 +0000 admin http://www.sailwave.com/?p=396 Continue reading →]]> The most common question I am asked these days is “Is there a version for iPad / Android / Mac…?”.

Sailwave is a Windows application.  The development system used to create it can only target Windows.

So it will run on these devices, but only if you install Windows emulation software such as Parallels Desktop – it does not run natively on anything other than Windows.

Recognising the need for a platform independent version I am rewriting it completely in Javascript/HTML5 – allowing Sailwave to run on absolutely anything.

This is a massively time consuming process.  Please support Sailwave by donating or simply buying on Amazon via the Sailwave affiliate links.

]]> http://www.sailwave.com/new-german-locale-available/feed 0 Version 2.4.5 http://www.sailwave.com/version-2-4-5 http://www.sailwave.com/version-2-4-5#comments Tue, 03 Jan 2012 22:39:14 +0000 admin http://www.sailwave.com/?p=296 Continue reading →]]> Version 2.4.5 starts to extend publishing so that users have more control over how results are formatted.

To use it, tick the box labelled “Use Javascript” when publishing results and then include the Results.js script at the “Select Destination” stage.  You will see from the source generated that Javascript is used to format headers etc., rather than vanilla HTML.  Results.js is an example that starts to mimic the current alternative HTML – you can supply your own Javascript.  There is still much to do.  This extension is probably only suitable for users familiar with HTML and Javascript or some other coding language.  Most clubs/events will have such a person and it’s a one time operation to design your layout.  No documentation yet.
