Scrolling (other than lists)...

Using 0.8 installed on XP, c# express 2010...
Tried a revision about 3 weeks ago, but don't use it...

I've never used revisions to dev against? Tried my plugin once on a revision about 3 weeks ago (placed in skins/default/#.dll - same as I do for 0.8), it didn't show in the list for setting the main menu buttons, and I was like, oh well, I'll just keep doing what I used to because it worked.... Although, I didn't change the plugin to reflect any of the new framework/graphic dll's for the revision so maybe that's why it didn't show?

Anyways, could I just reference the new graphics/framework dll's if I download those from the revisions? This should provide the list style to use, but it might cause unexpected errors when trying to use it against the old framework/graphics dll's...

Hmm, is it worth it to keep dev'ing against 0.8? I know it's outdated but since that's the last stable release and many probably don't feel like using updated svn builds almost everyday, I figured I might as well keep going at it...

Yeah. 0.9 changed the way plugins was handled so older plugins will not work in 0.9 unless it's recompiled against 0.9 core.

You could try but I don't think that will work. There's been a lot of changes since 0.8.

I'd step up to the latest svn since that gives you way more options and your plugin will also be compatible when we release 0.9.

You don't have to always use the latest svn but grab the current one and compile your plugin against that one and it should work better.
There's quite a bit of tweaks and fixes in there (too much to list) but there might also be some bugs since the code is not officially release but it is stable enough to develop on.
