Five years is a damn long time. If someone had asked me back then where I would be then, I would hardly have been able to answer that I would have changed jobs twice in the meantime, published a book, obtained a doctorate and found myself in the aftermath of a global pandemic. But least…
Release 3.2.0
This version again contains a whole range of new features. But above all, this version is characterized by a plethora of bug fixes. We take this as a really good sign, because the fact that you find and report bugs means two things: Firstly, you’re also using the more unusual tools and advanced settings –…
Release Version 3.1.0
Well, what can I say? We are in the software business and in the software business everything always takes longer than you originally thought. After the 3.0 release, I firmly believed that 3.1.0 would follow very quickly: The main features were actually already available and just needed to be polished and the plans were also…
The Curvy Thing
Display the shortest distance between two points on the map: Why is a curve the shortest route? Why not just draw a straight line? The answer is this: The earth is not a flat map, but a complicated body that can be described to the best approximation as a flattened sphere, a so-called rotational ellipsoid…
Problems with Apple’s World
We have just released the new bugfix version 3.0.3. Actually, it’s nothing spectacular: we find a bug or get one reported, we search and find a solution. Anger, developing ambition, childish joy. The normal emotional life of a software developer. The world could actually be so beautifully simple: develop, create a new version, press a…
Release Version 3.0!
Wow, I have to say first of all: I am really glad that this milestone has (almost) reached its end. It’s not visible to the outside world, we’ve always tried to touch on the issue through (admittedly relatively infrequent) reports, but the truth is: It was an incredible mammoth task that was initially completely underestimated…
GCW 3.0 Beta Version Released
As described in detail in the last posts, we are working feverishly on the changeover of the software to version 3. Especially the internal update to the new version 3 of the programming language Dart turned out to be a very long and nasty process. There were a lot of code changes to be made….
The Road To Version 3: Upgrade Of The Programming Language
We are now basically done with the restructuring and we are very happy with the result. I actually can’t stop scrolling back and forth in the new file structure, because I love so much 🙂 Unfortunately, this was only the first step before a much bigger one. The “New” Language The programming language used for…
The Road To Version 3: Web API
So far, the web version has been treated rather neglectfully by us. Some features don’t work, some look a bit strange. For some features, it’s absolutely unclear to us why they don’t work, and partly due to lack of time, but often also due to lack of technical competence, these things are simply ignored. If…
The Road To Version 3: Software Architecture
The last version is a version 2.x. Apart from possible urgently needed bugfix releases – let’s hope that won’t be necessary – there won’t be another version 2. A version change in the so-called major version usually only occurs when there is a very fundamental change to the software product. With the version change from…
