The Well Read Update!

v5.1.3, The Well Read Update!

Did you think that this program was not smart? Well, don your nerd glasses because that changed with this update, the program is now book smart with a dictionary(s)! This update changes the variable systems of the console version and the GUI version to a dictionary setup. In the GUI version this will dramatically increase the flexibility of setting settings and will allow for future updates. The console version was changed to allow for easier code sharing between the versions.

change log:

• Updated .gitignore for easier program testing.
• Changed variable systems to dictionary backed frameworks.

This version was tested with Python 3.5.2

• Implemented initial frame for options buttons rendering on options window (experimentale, will not affect usage).
• Renamed the scripts for better handling, and style

GUI options functionality is currently limited and will be expanded in the future.

You no longer need the AutoConvert.py script in the same directory as the GUI script to operate the GUI script.

This version was tested with Python 3.5.2

v5.0.0, GUI Update!

This version officially releases the first version of the graphical user interface (GUI). Some other features are found in the changelog:

• New GUI script implementing Tkinter for GUI control of the program.
• Options button intentionally left disabled as no options are currently available
• The ability for the main script to be used as a library as well as a standalone script
• Renamed main script so that it could be imported into another script without using hacky code.
