How active is this project in 2020?
Since this forum has last posts 3+ years ago?
Yet the project itself has seen more recent updates?
I have few plug-in ideas coming as soon as I can wrap my head around the Computree SDK.
But the silence around here made me also cautious as to, whether Computree development is still meaningful/active.

Hi,
We have had some difficulties maintaining the platform for about a year and a half, due to the movement of key people for the project and administrative issues.
In addition, on the plugins side, a good part of them have been developed by PhD students who finished their thesis in this same period (but these plugins remain and will remain available).
However, since last summer we have been working on a deep redesign of Computree management, and are preparing the deployment of a version 6, with a real management of bug reports and requests for evolutions, as well as the provision of documentation and help for users and for plugin developers. In particular, we will have a development roadmap with planned versions for Computree Core.
We plan to deploy all this at the end of 2020 - beginning of 2021.
Thank you for your patience.
Best regards.
Alexandre Piboule.

Hello
to answer from a plugin developer perspective. The CT platform itself is still working without effords under Win10 easily. All third libraries needed to make CT run are provided by Alexandre in a downloadable package and with this it is easy to compile. You can stick 1:1 to the documentation and should be fine. As I develop under Linux and use Windows just to provide precompiled executables I can tell you that here it is a bit more challenging. I use Ubuntu 20.4 and for that OS no 3rd libaries are downloadable. Also this up-to-date Ubuntu is too new to still support the older 3rd library versions used under Windows/needed by CT to compile without errors. Here you presumingly need few hours of time and maybe also some developer experience. I added information on how to get success under Linux on my private homepage (https://simpleforest.org/pages/compileLinux.html). This should help you already a lot.
I also give still support on this forum if there are questions where I can help.
@Alexandre My work of the last few years is not (yet) on your svn repository. You know that I like Git more and I am a lot more experienced with Git. Nevertheless I think it would be nice to have SimpleForest as well here on CT platform. Shall we maybe spent one hour on a weekend to migrate my plugin? I kind of stopped developing it as it seems a) quite stable b) I am a bit too tired after my job to do development still and c) I barely have data. So it might be a good point to swap what I have to svn again. Code quality in comparison to SimpleTree did improve a bit . If you want you can drop my a mail to my private email, I think you have it from my time in france.....
