Compendium 1.0.0 - Backgrounds, Companions and a New Look

I've just put the finishing touches on the latest build of the DnD 4e Compendium for webOS, and have submitted it to the App Catalog.

Normally I'd say that it'll be good to download shortly, but this time I'm not releasing it as a beta app - this is version 1.0.0, and will be going into the full App Catalog, once it's made its way through the Palm validation process.

New in this version are added filters for searching Backgrounds and Companions, and I've given the interface a lick of paint, instead of just using the default Palm styling. The colours and icons used are influenced by the new online Character Builder just released by Wizards of the Coast.

Hopefully the app will make it through the submission process fairly quickly and I'll have another post up here as soon as I know it's live.

New Features
  • Filters have been added for searching Backgrounds and Companions
  • New look - UI elements have been reskinned.

Known Issues
  • On webOS 2.0, the filter fields for XP and Cost will not accept input. This is a problem with the current version of the operating system, and should be fixed by an update in the future.
  • Searches can cause hangs if there are a large number of results. Be as specific as possible when searching to avoid this - search titles only, or use the filters to narrow down the results. Don't try to get a list of every power, item or monster.
