WORK STARTS ON NEW FEDTERM

by Hazed

Meanwhile, Alan has started work on a rewrite of FedTerm, the game front-end. He’s going to be developing it using a cross-platform application framework called QT. This means he’ll be able to produce versions of the program running on a variety of operating systems - including, for the first time, a Linux version.

As well as duplicating the function of the existing FedTerm, he will be adding some new features for the higher ranks.

No, I don’t know exactly what. Yes, feel free to make suggestions. No, I can’t promise we’ll act on your suggestions. Yes, it’s likely to be some time before it’s completed. No, I am not even going to estimate how long it will be.

But as soon as I do have more info, I will let you know.
