KATI

I want to thank all of the brave Mac devs out there who’ve taken the time to try out KTUIKit. The comments and bug reports are extremely helful and appreciated. Thank you.

Things have been moving along with KTUIKit and I’m finally ready for a new Pre-alpha milestone release (0.9.1).

You can download a copy of the release here, or checkout the source from the GoogleCode project.

The .zip file contains:

I’ve posted the release notes on the project’s home page. There are major API changes in this update so I’ve made the previous revision of the project available for download for those who went beyond ‘brave’ into the realm of ‘crazy’ and have used it in a project you actually care about

I’ve also updated the KTUIKit page here on the blog with new instructions on how to install the plugin and use the framework in a project. The example project on the page has also been updated to use the latest version of the plugin and framework.

A little bit of news: I started working at Sofa a few months back and we’re using KTUIKit in a new product. I’m developing KTUIKit for Sofa in a separate branch of the subversion project and will slowly move those changes over to the trunk as the designs are finalized and the code stabilized. There are two things that made it into this version of the trunk that some people might find interesting: KTLayerController, a new controller for layers (like a view controller is to views) and KTTabViewController, whose only job is to switch between a list of view controllers. Both are still *in the works*, but I’ve been using them and I think they have promise. I have very loose descriptions of the classes and more in the release notes.

Again, thanks to everyone and I’ll see you at WWDC!
