There is another update of the tool. This update changes how sub shells interact with each other. Shells now live in their own thread (as managed by the JVM) rather than as task in a thread pool (as managed on top of the JVM). This update also fixes the long standing bug of output messages appearing out-of-order when running multiple shells in parallel.

The result is a tool which is able to tax the CPU more aggressively when a lot of shells are forked, and thus finish parallel tasks faster. Subjectively, the command prompt feels faster from the GUI, as well.

There are a few other minor changes:
  • Added SAXHelp which contains the tools for XML crunching outside of generating strings.bin files, should you need it. (I did.)
  • Added Context (right click) menu's on text fields and areas with copy/paste/cut actions (as appropriate). Of course you can also use Ctrl+C,Ctrl+V,Ctrl+X.
  • Added alternative PlainKeys mode to FormatOptions for StringsWriter: this version retains the old behaviour where lookup tables would be omitted.
