Recruting Parser 1.0-dev r2 released

A new version of Recruiting Parser has been released. It contains minor code changes but not so small usage changes. Both have been suggested on Forum Grounds by same user. Read thread for details, but long story short, is that Recruiting Parser has been showing problems with Spanish charsets, and therefore with some other non-standard charsets. By the way, charsets I am talking about here are letters. So I introduced Unicode support, which will fix this problems.
Second update introduces [youtube] tag support. Please note: this function is currently deprecated, but I'll finish it soon.

And that's it
Enjoy Recruting Parser 1.0-dev Release 2!

Recruiting Parser pre-final skipped

This afternoon I announced a probability of releasing second version of Recruiting Parser. Over this days I was testing it, and I came to conclusion Recruiting Parser is free of bugs. Over 2k of code, without bugs. Well, I have been doing it for a year, so it may be a reason.
In other words, Recruiting Parser pre-final #1 will be skipped. Actually, it won't be skipped, but it simply won't be what it was supposed to be. Recruiting Parser pre-final #1 will be first Recruiting Parser with eXtras. I explained that on Recruiting Parser release page too. So that's the project I'll be working on. I have a lot of school business underway too, so I won't be able to give it as much as time as I'd like. But it'll eventually work out. You won't have to wait for me to release this pre-final version to see how this eXtras work. I'll be uploading nightly builds, so you can test it right away. But notice, do not never use this nightly builds for serious things. But I'll point that out on the Recruiting Parser nightly builds page (it doesn't exist yet, since there have never been such releases). Also, this eXtras are not the only thing that I will upgrade Recruiting Parser with. I cannot talk of any dates when first unstable/nightly build will be released, and of course I cannot talk of final version release date, but I'll keep you informed about anything.

Final Stage of Recruiting Parser approaching

Recruiting Grounds is almost prepared for release and distribution of Recruiting Parser pre-final version #1. Latest release, 1.0 Testing Version was released on 10.7.2007. So it's been 2 and a half years. In this, pre-final #1 stage I'll fix bugs reported in this 2 years (there are very few). Maybe even add some new stuff.
In #2 I'll add a lot more, known as eXtras. After that I'll invite people to test it out. In this stage I'll fix every bug I can find. I am of opinion there won't be many.
In 1.0 Final everything should be finished. Don't get me wrong, though. Even this Testing Version released 2 and a half years ago everything is great. You won't be sorry for using it. There are only few very minor bugs in this old version.
In conclusion, pre-final #1 will be finished very soon. You could even expect it tonight.

If you are here for the first time, and have no idea what I'm talking about, and you need a top-class BBCode parser, check out Recruiting Parser.

Connected

After days of work, all parts of RG (except Development Grounds which is inactive) are now connected with a script of mine. Now you'll how many visitors is out there among Recruiting Grounds, Forum Grounds, PM Grounds and Recruiting Parse area.
Additionally, you can view who is online here. You can also access that link by clicking on "Who's Grounding" or "Hits n' Shots" on the right side of index.

So that is finally done. Soon I'll invite Newgrounders to publish their stuff on RG. I'll also continue working on Parser.. probably

MethoTical

Still developing

I'm still connecting other sites with RG base with whois(). I'll build a Who Is (public) page too. It'll just show where current online visitors are from. No "dangerous" data, like IP addr, ISP provider etc. Connecting with whois() application of mine is much harder than I thought it will be. I'm getting conflicts I didn't expect.

Soon I'll offer Newgrounds.com users to put their Flash or Audio material onto RG site, within a special category. We'll see if that will bring any feedback. After that, I really want to continue Recruiting Parser development, and then publish it to sourceforge and maybe even further.

I'll get back when I complete this stuff.

It's pure, you see

Hi everyone.
I'll just brief you with me short-term goals:
1) connect whois online with PMGrounds, BBCParser and Forum Grounds. You may experience several difficulties with Forum Grounds today, because domain expired and my host/domain provider forgot to renew it.
Whois job will probably be done today.
2) Continue my job on my most popular application, Recruiting Parser. I'm planing on fixing bugs, adding WYSIWYG editor etc.

It's interesting this thread will remove from the frontpage Showtime urges, which was on frontpage for about 2 years (on 1st place).
