At the suggestion of @Aosaw, this thread will be used to post updates (as and when I have time), looking into bug reports, and a host of other things.



The program can be found here, and this post will be updated with new links when a new version is ready. This PDF document details the programs' usage, it will only be required for people who are new to this program and don't understand how to use it. The source code can be found over on SourceForge. You will need to log in to SourceForge in order to view. The Visual Studio solution is for VS2012, so you will need that in order to do anything (or you could make a quick edit to the solution so it will load in older versions).

EE Keeper* uses MFC (Microsoft Foundation Class), which means that you will need a standard version of Visual Studio, rather than an express version. Even if you don't, but you have programming knowledge and would like to help, then over the course of the next few months the plan I have is to convert all the code to be Unicode friendly. The second part of the plan is to convert to Win32 or (better yet) use Qt or wxWidgets to make it cross-platform friendly. Either way, feel free to post your coding suggestions. I will also be taking suggestions, but please keep them realistic. I don't have a lot of time to spare on this project and so any suggestions will likely take weeks or months to implement; keep them short and sweet, modifications to the UI, tweaks, etc.

*I'm open to a new name, since that's only a temporary name I thought up. Other possible names include, but are not limited to: BEEKeeper, bGEEKeeper, Gate Keeper:EE.

The current version is 1.0.1.0. After having it tested by a number of people ( @Mikaal, @mlnevese, @swnmcmlxi, @Aosaw, @AHF, @Isaya, @Kunikos, @Anton, @ermo, @Erg ), I can now say that it works on XP SP2 to Windows 8. I will work on it when I get time, but right now updates will be few and only occasional.

Some trials on Mac via Wineskin, by @Nifft, have been done and it seems to work, depending on the version - it will be up to others to help with that should any issues arise. More details here.

As a final note: just because a new thread is made, and the release is more of a Live/REL version, it doesn't mean that the program is bug free, nor does it mean that I won't be tweaking it any more (I will). If you come across any issues, or you are in doubt over something, feel free to post and either myself of some other helpful community member will try to help overcome it :).
