Hello,
Hackathon in Barcelona is coming next month, and there are some things
I would like to get implemented into next major Huggle update:
* Drop for support of Qt4
Qt5 has been around for long time and Qt6 is coming. Nearly every OS
is already supporting Qt5 these days. If there is any substantial need
to still support Qt4, please let me know, but I believe that it's not
really needed.
* Drop existing Python engine
Huggle supports extensions created in Python language, but this
feature was never very popular, or widely used. Let's drop it.
* Implement JS engine through Qt5+ QJSEngine
New scripting backend that could be used to allow people create their
own extensions to Huggle. Qt5 supports quite powerfull scripting
engine that can be easily implemented.
I would like to focus on these 3 things during the hackathon. If you
have any opinions on this topic, please let me know!
Also, if you are attending hackathon this year and want to
participate, you are welcome, just find me there!
