Hello.

q4wine project was started about 8 years ago. It still continue to evolve from an simple 7-lines 'Hello World' application written just for fun in late 2008 :)

It was a long run. I am really impressed with OpenSource development model. Unfortunately, q4wine has a lot of design issues and limitations. It is really hard to support and add new features. To get rid of this, I am planning to rewrite it completely from scratch.

I do have some new ideas to try, but it will be nice to hear ideas, suggestions or comments from the end users.

So it's my call to you: if you have something to say I'm ready to listen.

Hello.

In order to organize and simplify translations process for q4wine I decided to setup Pootle localization tool.

Community localization server now available at: http://i18n.brezblock.org.ua/ Don't forget to check out our updated Translation hints.

Any suggestions or comments are welcome :)

I do believe my messages hit the targets, so I decide to come back to q4wine's development.

There are some plans on q4wine 2.0 with porting it's code base to qt5 and adding some experimental features. As well as fixing stuff around 1.x releases.

However, Since russia still continue its aggressive policy, q4wine's on line help and some other brezeblock's services will be not available on its territory.

The civilized world should not suffer any inconveniences any more.

Thanks for your patience.
