Future changes (re-write)

[Col-E]

So I'm currently drafting up a total redesign.

• The design / architecture is totally different, it is now primarily event-driven.
• UI is completely reworked in JavaFX (WIP, subject to change).
• Input (jar or class) is parsed as a virtual-file-system which will allow some new nifty features in the future.
• Hopefully move away from MDI (multiple inner window UI), not at this point but looking into it. (Editing methods side by side is still a goal though)

Since I'm doing things from the ground up now would be the best time to implement some wild changes (suggestions?), that were previously impossible. When these changes are done the next release will be 1.0 and will no longer be classified as a "pre-release".

Beginning to allow modification through the UI. This is the current layout. I currently am choosing how to represent class properties in the UI. Right now as a placeholder the interfaces attribute is seen as a button (that does nothing).

Should the interfaces (as a list editor) be displayed in a new window (on-button-click) or should it be in-line (replace the button)?

For other list attributes I'm thinking that a separate window would be wise since they represent more complex structures than a String.

Decided to go with button -> new window approach for non-simple types.

Edit: April 2018, still working. I will push to github whenever its at a release-worthy point.

Only major features missing until the rewrite is release worthy is the bytecode list and associated features (block saving/writing). Everything else (Config / searching / exporting / non-opcode editable attributes) is done. I'll be pushing to a new branch when these things are added. Then when absolutely everything is back 100% I'll merge into master.

Some progress screenshots:

• Opcode list
• Sortable member tables
• Auto-generated option menus / searchable / grouped options
• New search window
  • In-line search results

New site design:

• Index
• Proper mobile css
  • Content adjusts to screen dimensions, unlike current layout where the whole thing scales in a not so clean way.

This week's progress:

• Block inserter window
• Opcode switcher
• Opcode creation window

I want to finish up the docs / usage guide and I'll push to a new branch for testing.

Merged early because I want the new content to be front-and-center. Old versions can be accessed via commit history / releases anyways.
