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

-
- <p>Another great way to help Typica right now is to reach out
- to your professional colleagues and let them know that you're
- using Typica and what you like about it.</p>
