ZDLSharp Shift in Focus

I know, I know, ZDLSharp 3.0.5.0 offers a lot of features that you all really want. But first, I need to write some semi-related code. I’ve been starting on ZDL Sidekick, a cross platform console and GUI based ZDLSharp configuration launcher. It doesn’t offer the same GUI features of ZDLSharp, but will be cross platform (wx or console based) to provide everybody with access to ZDLSharp files.

There are some unique challenges that I proposed for ZDLSharp in the future, and required for ZDL Sidekick. Firstly, a non-destructive configuration reader. I’ve already started work on that, and it’s going really smoothly. I’m bringing in a few new features in ZDL Sidekick, like an enhanced ZDL configuration format called Extended ZDL Configuration. I’m going to try my best to provide backwards and forwards compatibility with ZDL, which should prove to be a challenge.
