What to look forward to - Summer 2023

What to look forward to - Summer 2023
Occasionally I will provide updates on what is going on with Catalyst and other programs I maintain. However, this is specifically about Catalyst.

Catalyst 5.0
Catalyst 5.0 will release as a stable release early into summer, while definitely lacking compared to 3.0. The main feature here, is the switch to Python. Where I will have an easier time developing and shipping Catalyst. It will be easier to integrate with the operating system, and provide a snappy and stable experience. Wherever pyqt6 and python 3.10 run, Catalyst 5 will too!

Catalyst 4.0
It's too early right now to have a set release date for 4.0. But what I can confirm, is that, counter-intuitively, it will release after 5.0. This is because the development of 4.0 has been mostly dormant and the developer hasn't been focusing on it at this time.

Catalyst 3.0
Catalyst 3 won't be left in the dark as soon as 5.0 releases. It will receive security fixes and even feature updates until further notice. It is also the last release to support Windows 7. Since it supports Windows 7, it will be stuck on an older version of Electron.

I haven't even started this project yet.
