We also implemented a full MariaDB / MySQL driver for node.js, which is now a part of our RTL (more DB engines will follow). And we dug into node.js clustering and have made strides in the node.js application model(s) that you can also use.

V0.20.0 “Debugger” build
This has been a long time coming but it’s finally time for a new backer build! There have been a long list of improvements, so this bould should do wonders – and ofcourse, this version has the long awaited debugger included.
JQueryUI package update
Our master craftsman Ed Van Der Mark just shipped an updated package for jQueryUI. We are so happy to have Ed in our community, and he has implemented some of the most complex JS packages we have. Where others are afraid to venture, Ed seem to enjoy luch – knocking it out of the park again and again!
Debugger is alive and rocking
So what is new? Well, quite a lot! Here is a rundown of the major changes and additions. There are literally hundreds of commits since our last public post, but these are the big ones (!)
Library project type added
QTX now supports a library project type!
Putting some final touches
We are nearing the end of this developer cycle, meaning that the last deep-dive is coming to an end, and thus we turn back from the low-level coding and return to the UI tickets and final push.
The mysterious non-working keypress delegate
If you are writing full-screen games, or games where the keyboard should be operational regardless of what has focus on screen – I strongly urge you to create your delegates manually and attach them to TApplication->Body.
New unit structure and mini parser
To speed up the amount of time the IDE uses to display the unit structure, we have spent some time implementing a special parser. This parser is diffent from the one already present in the compiler core
New JQuery UI package
One of our more experienced backers, Ed Van Der Mark, has updated his JQuery-UI package for Quartex Pascal. His latest package installs both the widgets into the component palette, and also registers project templates – so that you can create new project types tailored for JQuery UI directly from the “New project” dialog.
A parsing framework for Delphi, FPC and QTX
In this article I will cover the essential architecture of the Quartex parser, the default parser for the Quartex RTL and our native framework. This framework is the codebase we wrote to implement the IDE for Quartex Pascal, and it contains a wealth of useful units. The Quartex native framework will be available to backers and customers shortly after release of Quartex Pascal.
