25
|
|
-lot from developing this, using it, and having conversations
|
26
|
|
-with others about how they're using this. While there is the

28

31

|
-avoided implementing because the changes would have been too

-intrusive for the code base as it currently exists, but that

33

-feature set has become too compelling for me to leave undone.

34
|
|
-I am, therefore, attempting to spend as much time as I can on
|
35
|
|
-the development of Typica 2.0. This removes many of the legacy
