It’s been 3 weeks since the last update, but rest assured that those weeks have not been wasted. In fact, I have worked on QTX every single day in from afternoon to bedtime. The changes and fixes in this update are in their hundreds. I will only list those that are of immediate interest for users to know about.

Saturday video blog!
It’s Saturday and QTX work day for me, so why not tag along and have a look at what I’m working on in this video 🙂
How to use TQTXColumnPanel
The widget exposes and wraps the fancy new column CSS attributes, most notably the “column-count” attribute which divides the content into X number of columns, dividing the width between them. The result can look somewhat like traditional newspaper columns.
Theme styling: A primer
In order to bring uniformity to how component writers work, the IDE operates with a few basic laws regarding CSS styles and how they are applied. These laws are simple and non-intrusive. It is very important that QTX don’t get in the way of whatever styling developers write themselves, or collide with existing JavaScript frameworks and their styling
An IoT scenario: Looking at hardware
I dont often write about hardware on this page, but as we near code-freeze to the IDE and development tools- my thoughts return back to our original project, namely the Quartex Media Desktop (codename: Amibian.js).
Quartex Pascal version 0.17.2 released
This build contains fixes for bugs that has been lurking around the RTL and IDE for some time. Each revision unveils less and less items to fix, and I believe we are only a couple of builds away to mark the binary as a release candidate! It was a bit sad that the latest DWScriptContinue reading “Quartex Pascal version 0.17.2 released”
Update to latest DWS in the works
Like I mentioned in the previous posts, we have precious little tickets left! And I have started on the last big change, which is to update DWS (Delphi Web Script) to the absolute latest, bleeding edge version.
Website, forum and gearing up for RC1
As we are nearing RC1 with only a handful of tickets left, there are about to be some serious changes to our infrastructure. So far we have operated with Patreon as our means to finance the development, and Facebook as our daily driver for live status, quick feedback and general community talk. This model hasContinue reading “Website, forum and gearing up for RC1”
QTX reaches code freeze
As of writing we have only a few tickets left. There will always be more as we dig into the codebase, small things that we have forgotten – or sloppy mistakes like not setting the tab-stop correctly, but all in all we are in good shape!
Better information pages!
Anyways, I have spent some time writing more about Quartex Pascal and it’s features here. I also updated the Quartex Media desktop so that this has it’s own page and menu item too, making it easier to get familiar with both.
