Hi all, It appears wxFormBuilder is, if not dead, not far from it. The evidence:
* No stable release in 4 years, and the last beta release was 13 months ago. * A grand total of 13 commits in the last 12 months (current trunk is r2205, r2192 was made on 1 August 2014). A number of these are buildsystem / release / changelog (!) updates. * No developer responses on the mailing list, including to a message three months ago [1] asking if the project was still active. * No support for newer widgets. For example, the wxSpinCtrlDouble widget added in wxWidgets 2.9.0 is not supported. I patched it to add this widget back in April and posted the patch to both the mailing list and an existing ticket from three years ago [2]. No response to that either. We may have to start thinking about whether we continue with it from here, or consider a move towards a different tool. I realise any change like this isn't going to happen prior to the stable release, and nor am I suggesting it should. But with the recent post to this list about UI improvements, I think this is a highly related topic which should be discussed as well. There are a number of alternatives listed on the wxWidgets wiki [3]. Does anybody have any experience with any of them? (Spoiler alert, I don't). Are there any thoughts on how to proceed from here?
