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.

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. Both use the same hybrid node.js server class – so once that is in place, both these node.js services can be used by your programs — regardless of you using the desktop ecosystem or not.
Major RTL update available
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).
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.
This week’s fixes and build
A few bugs were reported on the last build, which have now been promptly fixed. I have also updated our to-do list so that everyone knows where we are with regards to the first beta release. It might look much, but keep in mind that most of these task take 1 hour tops each. Only the most elaborate tasks will take longer. Ok, lets go through the tasks for this build.
