[Windows] [NXT Solaris] Windows NXT client v2.0

[marcus03]

Here is version 2.0 of my Windows NXT client "NXT Solaris".

It is now open-source. Source code is included in the download archive.


Changelog
-The open-source version now is open source. :O) Source code is included in the download.
-The whole GUI now feels much slicker.
-NXT Solaris no longer works on and downloads the complete blockchain, but only the fetches transactions for the personal accounts
-Closed source version: Dropped the blockchain explorer functionality
-Added a market graph (price and volume) for assets
-Added support for startForging and stopForging API requests (these fall back to a web lockAccount/unlockAccount request if the API calls are not available)
-Included an option in the NXTSolaris Starter to run against the testnet (automatically keeps the testnet and prod. settings/data apart)

Roadmap
1.) Move current version of my code to XE5 and release closed source 32-bit and 64-bit versions for Windows. [DONE]
2.) Refactor code to a MVC architecture, so that I can create separate GUIs while using the same version of the business logic code. [DONE]
3.) Create new GUIs for Windows and OS X using the same business logic, but based on the cross-platform Firemonkey libraries. [DONE]
4.) Release Windows version (32 and 64 bit) based on FireMonkey. [DONE]
5.) Implement new features from the TODO list [DONE]
6.) Release source-code for FireMonkey Windows version (February 16th, 2014 latest) [DONE]
7.) Implement new features from the TODO list
8.) OSX compatibility changes
9.) Release OSX version based on FireMonkey.
10.) Release source code for FireMonkey OSX version.

TODO list
-Offer a simple and advanced GUI, with the simple GUI targeted at new users
-Implement client side Curve25519 encryption/signing
-Arbitrary message encryption

Argh... sorry for that. It is actually a problem with the update process.

Unfortunetly, it will happen once more, since I need to refactor the "address book" function out of the account table, so that it survives future updates.

Really i use that description field a lot and now "breaks me"

When the version will be available with address book?

Depends how real life develops.

It is a useful function, so I will put it on top of my list.

[^[GS]^]

Well, real life first.

By the way, you could add an account generator program? as the "vanity" that allows set patterns, use your own words, use different cores and different % usage.
