This post will be pre-writing for a locked, pinned post. Don't panic: during my sabbatical I'll continue to answer questions and fix serious bugs.
Now seems like an excellent time to take a sabbatical break from Leo: 1. I have been working on Leo for almost 35 years without any extended break. It's time for an extended period of exploration and learning about all the nifty new computer technologies. These explorations will likely suggests features that will be of use to a wide audience. For example, Leo should have better built-in support for rust, go, and other languages. 2. None of the remaining issues promise to move Leo forward in exciting new directions. Imo, by far the most significant new direction for Leo in the last several years has been the leoInteg project. 3. There a no significant bugs remaining in Leo, and none are likely to appear during the sabbatical. *Summary* My sabbatical will start when Leo 6.3 b1 goes out the door. That will happen a week from today, October 23, or shortly thereafter. I have been underwhelmed by my own performance over the last several years. leoAst.py is the high point, but it does not directly extend Leo. Rather, it is an example of *using* Leo. The low point was all the work adding Qt docks and then removing them. The sabbatical will last t least several months, and one year at the longest. Only at the sabbatical's end will I know what comes next. I have several plans for the sabbatical, but they are preliminary and I won't go into details here. All comments and questions are welcome here. Edward -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
