I have dilemma on my hands. My main project Katy as it currently exists is a KDE1 application that is semi-stable, with a few useful features. What with the advent of KDE2 and my subsequent installation thereof, I have started re-writing Katy for KDE2. It's going quite nicely (one always seems to do better the 2nd time round) and I'm hoping to have something useable with at least some of the features of the old Katy in a week or two.

But now what do I do about the KDE1 version? I'm sure that there are people who will continue to use KDE1 and will want to use Katy (maybe ;) and so I don't want to just dump them. But on the other hand, KDE2 is where it's at now and I can do so much more cooler things with it than I could with KDE1.

Should I try to develop both in a parallel fashion? Should I just keep Katy 0.2.3 as the last KDE1 version and say KDE2 is required for all future versions?

Hmmm... I must admit that I'm inclined towards that last option. It seems like just far too much work to keep two parallel versions going.

Besides, Katy needed a rewrite anyways ;)

New Advogato Features

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.

Keep up with the latest Advogato features by reading the Advogato status blog.
