- <h1>Preview of the Next Episode</h3>
|
|
45
|
|
- </div>
|
|
46
|
|
- <p>This will likely be one of the last releases in the 1.x
|
|
47
|
|
- series. Typica 1.0 was released in 2007 and I've learned a
|
|
48
|
|
- lot from developing this, using it, and having conversations
|
|
49
|
|
- with others about how they're using this. While there is the
|
|
50
|
|
- possibility of further improvements, I believe Typica has
|
|
51
|
|
- reached a point of maturity with a feature set appropriate for
|
|
52
|
|
- many coffee roasting firms.</p>
|
|
53
|
|
-
|
|
54
|
|
- <p>There is a large set of features and extensions that I have
|
|
55
|
|
- avoided implementing because the changes would have been too
|
|
56
|
|
- intrusive for the code base as it currently exists, but that
|
|
57
|
|
- feature set has become too compelling for me to leave undone.
|
|
58
|
|
- I am, therefore, attempting to spend as much time as I can on
|
|
59
|
|
- the development of Typica 2.0. This removes many of the legacy
|
|
60
|
|
- considerations and modernizes the tools and techniques used. I
|
|
61
|
|
- hope that the result is a better and more broadly useful Typica
|
|
62
|
|
- that can be maintained for another several years.</p>
|
|
63
|
|
-
|
|
64
|
|
- <p>While Typica is free and will continue to be made freely
|
|
65
|
|
- available complete with all source code, there are still costs
|
|
66
|
|
- associated with ongoing development and keeping the software
|
|
67
|
|
- available. Some of the costs include:
|
|
68
|
|
- <ul>
|
|
69
|
|
- <li>Obtaining and maintaining hardware appropriate for
|
|
70
|
|
- building and testing new releases</li>
|
|
71
|
|
- <li>Building and maintaining test rigs for various
|
|
72
|
|
- types of data acquisition hardware</li>
|
|
73
|
|
- <li>Maintaining the ability to test on new operating
|
|
74
|
|
- system releases</li>
|
|
75
|
|
- <li>Hosting service</li>
|
|
76
|
|
- </ul>
|
|
77
|
|
- There is also a huge commitment of time in developing, testing,
|
|
78
|
|
- and supporting this.</p>
|
|
79
|
|
-
|
|
80
|
|
- <p>Financial support to date does not come close to covering
|
|
81
|
|
- these costs, nor has it been enough that I could consider
|
|
82
|
|
- hiring people to improve the pace and quality of ongoing
|
|
83
|
|
- development. This is fine. I have no intention of halting work
|
|
84
|
|
- on the project as my work has benefitted greatly from having
|
|
85
|
|
- this software and I expect even greater benefit from the next
|
|
86
|
|
- major release. Personally I find the new feature set exciting
|
|
87
|
|
- to work on and am willing to cover funding shortfalls when I
|
|
88
|
|
- can afford to do so.</p>
|
|
89
|
|
-
|
|
90
|
|
- <p>That said, if you're finding this software to be useful in
|
|
91
|
|
- your business, if you've had a good support experience, or if
|
|
92
|
|
- you'd like to help me continue to develop this software, please
|
|
93
|
|
- consider providing some financial support to:</p>

102
|
|
- to your professional colleagues and let them know that you're
|
|
103
|
|
- using Typica and what you like about it.</p>
