Right now, I’m focusing on freezing the code—that is, creating executable binaries from the Python scripts—and building an installer for easy setup. The current office projects are taking up most of my time, so development is moving slowly.
I’m using PyInstaller for freezing and NSIS for packaging. There are a few minor issues in the build process that need fixing, so it’ll be a few more weeks before we have a working, easy-to-install setup for Windows.
The timeline is:
- Finishing the installer by March 2022
- Testing on different computers and updating the documentation with tips on using the GUI
- Alpha and beta releases to selected testers
- Main release in summer 2022
The blog will keep everyone interested updated on progress. Once the installer is ready for download, I’ll also share the news via LinkedIn and YouTube.
