Its been a while since my last post, and while a few emails and updates to GitHub have happened, I haven’t written a formal announcement here. The big news of which two releases of the Canard Question Module Editor have been published and made available.

Version 0.2 went out on October 1st and Version 0.2.1 went out on the 9th. Normally, there’d be a larger gap between releases, however, very shortly after version 0.2 went out the door a handful of troublesome bugs were discovered regarding the handling of multilingual text. So a second version went out the door very shortly after that included some bug fixes and some new features tht made dealing with multiple languages easier.

Additionally, the QFingerTabsWidget that was discussed in an earlier post, has seen a number of updates to allow for icons and a more responsive design of horizontal text in horizontally aligned tabs. This has become larger than just a gist and will in the coming weeks be spun of into its own GitHub repository.

Lastly, with Canard in a relatively stable state, and with the “plug-in architecture” in a usable state I’m going to focus on creating SQBL transformations for input, output and visualisation. So suggestions for target formats and languages, or updates or changes to existing plugins would be welcome in the comments.

If anyone is interested in following updates to SQBL or Canard, I’d strongly recommend following the SQBL Mailing lists to keep up to date with releases and new plugins as they are published.
