| <h1>Credits</h1> |
|
|
| <h2>Community</h2> |
|
|
| <p>Thanks to all the users sending me bug reports and spending a lot of time testing the software and reproducing bugs and helping with the releases. |
| </p> |
|
|
| <p> |
| Thanks for the numerous test cases I received and which I could hardly unearth myself. I know how painful it is to strip |
| every trace of intellectual property. Development would be impossible without that effort. |
| </p> |
|
|
| <p> |
| And finally: thanks for not stopping to bug me ... :-) |
| </p> |
|
|
|
|
| <h2>Tools</h2> |
|
|
| <p> |
| KLayout won't be there if there was not a basis I could build upon. |
| I have some companions and it's time to mention them here ... |
| </p> |
|
|
| <table> |
| <tr> |
| <td><img src="credits_qt.png" border="0"/></td> |
| <td> |
| <h3>Qt</h3> |
| <p><a href="http://qt-project.org">http://qt-project.org</a></p> |
| <p>The ultimate framework. Portable, comprehensible, fast, complete, ... There is little you will miss |
| and much to discover. Dedicated to open source development, extensibility and in many ways a reference for |
| coding quality. My reliable companion for more than a decade now. A+ rating, at least. |
| </p> |
| </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td><img src="credits_trac.png" border="0"/></td> |
| <td> |
| <h3>Trac</h3> |
| <p><a href="http://trac.edgewall.org">http://trac.edgewall.org</a></p> |
| <p>Lightweight, fast and complete issue tracking, Wiki collaboration platform and lean project management. |
| Perfect integration with Subversion. My faithful tracker since many years. What else do you need? |
| </p> |
| </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td><img src="credits_vim.png" border="0"/></td> |
| <td> |
| <h3>gvim</h3> |
| <p><a href="http://www.vim.org">http://www.vim.org</a></p> |
| <p>I've tried them all: Visual Studio, Eclipse and all the others. VIM looks like last century, but |
| I'm missing something without it. Maybe the busy sound of little beeps? Or the fingers gliding smoothly over the keyboard, |
| knowing every key has at least a second purpose? <tt>/this[Esc]cwsomethingelse[Esc]n.n.n.n.</tt> ... don't care about the mouse or |
| the RSI syndrome. |
| </p> |
| <p>Love it or hate it. I'll choose the first. |
| </p> |
| </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td><img src="credits_ruby.png" border="0"/></td> |
| <td> |
| <h3>Ruby</h3> |
| <p><a href="https://www.ruby-lang.org">https://www.ruby-lang.org</a></p> |
| <p>No more hacking Perl, no more cursing Tcl ... just the language you need. Almost a Zen experience. Consistent, |
| lean, simple. A gem among the scripting languages and truly the programmer's best friend. |
| </p> |
| </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td><img src="credits_svn.png" border="0"/></td> |
| <td> |
| <h3>Subversion</h3> |
| <p><a href="https://subversion.apache.org">https://subversion.apache.org</a></p> |
| <p>Yes, I know, there is the great other tool. But what if I'm not a whole community? I'll just stay with subversion - |
| lean, simple and stable. Never had a fail in ten years and well, it's okay I can't delete anything. |
| </p> |

| <td> |
| <h3>Inkscape</h3> |
| <p><a href="http://www.inkscape.org">http://www.inkscape.org</a></p> |
| <p>Great tool and fun to work with. Without it, SVG would be a scary thing. |
| </p> |
| </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td><img src="credits_valgrind.png" border="0"/></td> |
| <td> |
| <h3>Valgrind</h3> |
| <p><a href="http://valgrind.org">http://valgrind.org</a></p> |
| <p>Definitely essential. Memory checker, performance analyzer, debugger ... one tool for all and |
| no rebuilding. Amazing tool which helped me out of trouble in more than one case. Any have a look at |
| <a href="http://kcachegrind.sourceforge.net">KCachegrind</a> for an amazing experience of performance |
| analysis. |
| </p> |

| <tr> |
| <td></td> |
| <td> |
| <h3>Coverity</h3> |
| <p><a href="http://www.coverity.com">http://www.coverity.com</a></p> |
| <p>Commerical tool with a heart for open source projects. They provide access to their static code analysis |
| engine for registered open source projects. Amazingly powerful, C++ aware and easy to use. |
| </p> |
| </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td></td> |
| <td> |
| <h3>Vanilla</h3> |
| <p><a href="http://vanillaforums.org">http://vanillaforums.org</a></p> |
| <p>Powers the forum on the web site. Super easy to install, simple administration and customizable to every degree - if you like |
| CSS and PHP. |
| </p> |
| </td> |
| </tr> |
| <tr> |
| <td></td> |
| <td> |
| <h3>And many more ...</h3> |
| <p>The GNU toolchain, GIMP, TurtoiseSVN and all those other little and big helpers. Too many to mention and |
| every one an adorable piece of software. |
