Ubercode blog

Welcome to the Ubercode news blog. This is updated monthly, or more often whenever personal life permits. In this blog I talk about the ease-of-use and power of Ubercode and its latest improvements. Sometimes I blog about website updates and I may even wander off for a rant on unrelated topics. The most recent entries are at the top, and there are links at the bottom to earlier news.

Ubercode v1.2 is ready! (6th Feb 2010)

• After several years work and over 60 major improvements, version 1.2 of Ubercode is finally ready! The picture shows the startup window running under Vista, and there is a summary of the improvements below the picture.
