New SuperNTF Release Now on OpenNTF!
Category LotusUserGroup.org OpenNTF SuperNTF
UPDATE:
If you downloaded 0.9.7 already, go back and download 0.9.7c as I just
put in a bunch of little usability tweaks that will get you started even
faster and smoother.
From our "better late than never" department comes word tonight that a new release of SuperNTF has (finally) appeared on OpenNTF.
It has many, many enhancements and has gone through quite a bit of "hard use" as the foundation for several recent client projects. Among the new features is a pretty slick "quick start" routine that identifies when you're opening a template (.ntf) as opposed to an actual application (.nsf), and then helpfully offers to sign the template and/or create a new application based on it. It then configures key db properties and ACL settings that you otherwise have to massage by hand. In other words, you should be able to get rolling much faster than is typical with these releases. (This technique will be it's own SnTT blog entry at some point).
To get an overview of what SuperNTF is all about you can check out the slides from my ILUG presentation Start Your Notes App the SuperNTF Way. It's a little out of date considering the many improvements made over the Summer, but until I have a chance to put together more documentation, blog entries on specific features, and screencast tours, it's not a bad start.
I'm
pushing the new release out this week in large part because of the fact
that I'm hosting this week's LotusUserGroup.org
topic forum all about SuperNTF. Please join me for the remainder
of the week on LotusUserGroup.org for what I expect will be a lively discussion
of all things Templates. So while I take a few days to properly write-up
a list of all the new goodies in this release, please download the new
SuperNTF and then stop by the forum to ask questions and participate in
the conversation.

Better question: Are you volunteering to write it?
@All - Thanks everyone for the good wishes. Please go out and bang on it and let me know what's broken or confusing. I've already gotten some good feedback and have a bugfix release coming shortly.
