It is now easy to run the program from source in Windows. Users on Windows 7 (and some similarly old Linux and macOS versions) cannot run Qt6, so they will need an alternate solution. The Qt6 build is stable with no giant outstanding problems. I want to keep improving things here, especially too as more users run from source.Ībsent any more issues, I expect this to be the last week I put out a Qt5 build. Thank you to those who report problems, and please keep them coming if and when this new system fails. It has been duct-tape-and-a-prayer for too long. I want the program to be more stable going forward when I click 'publish'. The issues with PySide6 and dateutil are fixed. I also put time into the build script itself, doing some cleanup and anti-deprecation work. This is mostly technical, but the requirements.txts that prep the program environment are simpler, laid out for easier reading and maintenance, and have frozen version numbers for important libraries.
I really hope this will not happen as much in future. Just as I was hotfixing a fresh boot problem last week, in the intervening time yet another boot problem arrived! We've been hit by several of these in the past couple of months, and I hate causing people this stress, so I decided to put some time into the way the official release is put together. Tl dr: The program breaks less now and in the future. The build is more reliable, and it is now easy to run the program from source in Windows. I had a good week improving how the program works behind the scenes.
