Elten 3.0 beta 1

Note! This beta version should be considered potentially very unstable. This is

the first beta version not based on the RGSS engine.
Ruby has been updated to version 4.0. The agent and client share a single process, and agent functionality is gradually being transferred to the client.
There may be various strange bugs due to the vast differences between Ruby versions. I fixed at least a dozen of them during the porting process, and probably just as many are still lurking somewhere.
Elten is currently available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions, and the appropriate version is automatically launched. Arm64 support will also be included eventually. The current launcher also allows for ports to Mac and Linux, but I can't promise this; much depends on time. Perhaps this will be an interesting project for someone else in the future, or maybe I'll find the time. First, we need to get Windows fully stable.

I assume you already know this, but each time you Alt Tab out and then back in the window, the context menu opens.

Another issue I found is when you are in a forum post and you keep holding the tab button, the comments will not get flipped through, instead you need to press tab every singe time, which is annoying when gtrying to get to the end of a thread.

Not only in the forum, but in any UI, be it menu, edit box or form control.

I've noticed a visual bug. The Elten window always remains in the foreground, even when you press Windows+M to minimise all windows. As a temporary solution you can hide it in the system tray or move it to a second desktop.

Um, control period will get you to the end of a thread quickly all the time. Just sayin'. Control comma will bring you back to the top.
Strange, Troubled Times...

Hmm, not for me at least.

Didn't know this, thanks. But now we already have Beta 2. The context menu issue is still present.

There also is a bug where, if you hit end in a form edit box, it announces the last character rather than blank or whatever it used to say before - kinda confusing.
