I would be lying if I said I haven't looked at TexCreate in a while as starting up Mufi-Lang
has been eating much of my development time. But I also have been getting some more ideas of what else to add and the future of the project.
First off, TexCreate has hit over 2K downloads!!! I'm honestly quite happy to see people downloading my project, and it motivates me to make it better. So let's go through some of the new changes I want to implement:
Release Model
My plans for releases is to release a new minor version or patch every 2 months to provide enough time between working on TexCreate
and Mufi-Lang
.
Changes for 2.3
These are some of the new changes I plan on implementing:
- Fixes to
texc-web
- Currently has issues related to temporary directories
- Using
tectonic
as the compiler to provide everything being Rust.
This doesn't seem too much, but it's impact is quite a lot. First off fixing texc-web
will allow me to finally add it to the TexCreate website and adding tectonic
will remove the need for texcreate.toml
and make the whole compile situation more seamless.
Expected Arrival
I hope to implement and release these changes within 2 months, and it gives me enough time to not rush any code, and bring any other changes that may come up.
