Sprog
Sprog is a graphical tool that anyone can use to build programs by plugging parts together. In Sprog jargon, the parts are known as 'gears' and they are assembled to make a 'machine'. Gears are selected from a palette and dragged onto the Sprog workbench, where they can be connected together. Options can be set using a properties dialog on each gear. When assembly is complete, the machine can be run, reconfigured, or re-run.

Changes: This release fixes some bugs with dependencies, as well as the crash when deleting a flashing gear. There's a new preferences dialog yhsy allows you to define a 'Personal Gear Folder': a place to stick all those gears you're creating or downloading.

Changes: This minor update replaced the 'proof of concept' CSV Split gear with a more capable version. The new one understands quoted fields, escaped quotes, and embedded newlines.

Changes: This release includes bugfixes, some new gears, and one new feature: you can now use the --nogui option to run Sprog without a GUI. So your carefully crafted machines can now be run from cron or similar. Filenames or URLs may now be dragged and dropped into a machine. The first (experimental) image manipulation gear was added. Other less exciting new gears were added. Various improvements were made to the user interface and online help.
