Today I start on the next version of BwCore. Several significant features will be added, including use of the factory and registry pattern for object instantiation, and support for multiple threads.
The re-write will be done in Visual Studio 2005, to ensure the ability to compile with VS 2005 from the get-go.
Kevin, Robert, and Ted are assisting in the design, which will hopefully give us a more maintainable code base, allow for easier addition of features, and improve performance.
Good luck toward this effort!
