News Release
August 30, 2002
Headline: Open source code from Stick Software
Summary: Stick Software has just more fully embraced the Open Source model
of software distribution, releasing a new product and an existing open
source product onto sourceforge.net for open development.
Body:
Today, Stick Software moved to using sourceforge.net for its open source
projects. An existing product, Circular Slider, was updated and moved to
sourceforge, and a new product, polyglot, was released onto sourceforge.
Circular Slider is an Obj-C / Cocoa control that allows the user to drag a
knob in two dimensions across a circular base, selecting an angle and
distance, or an x/y coordinate pair. It is a good introduction to writing
custom Cocoa controls.
Polyglot is a command-line tool to facilitate with the process of
localizing Cocoa applications, by performing various sanity checks and
optimizations on a target app. It can be added to a project as an automated
part of your build process.
Both of these products are released under the Artistic License, which
allows users flexibility in modifying and using the code, while retaining
creative control over the projects for Stick Software.
