While visual component features such as Align: TAlign and linear constructors were much needed additions (earlier constructors were asynchronous), the main focus of the latest update was to finish the Ragnarok protocol designer. Adding support for enum types and collection types in the process.

Changes, fixes and debugger
We still have some way to go before Chrome’s debugger protocol is fully integrated with the IDE, but we are making excellent headway!
Quartex is now a company
It is with great pleasure that I can inform everyone that Quartex Pascal is now a company with a fully funded three year runway. This means that Quartex Pascal as well as the desktop project will see full-time development the next three years. As of such, the Patreon project will shut down mid December. Don’tContinue reading “Quartex is now a company”
Filesystem over Websocket
The filesystem service is also something you can use in your applications. In order for it to work properly it requires a second service, the authentication service.

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”
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!
