Monthly progress report
- 2026-01-23
I finally took the time to give our website a little facelift. The news section used to be just a long text document. This was replaced with ABlog a blogging extension for Sphinx. It makes the news section a little more manageable, without adding much maintenance overhead. While I was at it, I slightly increased the font size and limited the width of the website.

This month, I decided to change it up a bit and report on the progress to date, instead of only to the end of last month.

74hc595 again spent most of their time working on upgrading to Qt6. While chasing down crashes on Qt6, they uncovered and fixed multiple old memory safety issues, which have probably been causing issues for years now. Of course, they also did their usual general contributions like reviewing and testing Pull Requests.

Last post we asked for donations in case unforeseen costs come up with my (Julian Groß) employment. As it turns out, the employment does indeed cost a little bit more (~30€) than I anticipated, costing around 1000€ per month, roughly 710€ of which actually end up on my bank account. (I say “around” and “roughly” because most months cannot be cleanly divided by 4 weeks.)

New website
- 2023-04-01
Since our old 11ty based website was unmaintained and no one knew how to edit it, we created a brand spanking new website using Sphinx, the same system that we have been using for our main documentation for years now. This also allows us, among other things, to finally translate the website to different languages using Weblate.
