Hi:
Please note latest changes in D-Rats code are now included in the news.rst file. Code releases this year are the Python3 - base code.? Congratulations to John and developers for the much-appreciated and needed python3 migration.? ?To my best understanding python3 base code is the one that will include new features, and enhancements as determined by developers.
The work done by developers lead by John, have been intensive and time-consuming.? ?If you want to follow D - Rats progress, issues and so on I strongly recommend to check?. Right now you can run the D - Rats latest (pyhton3 - base) code from Linux, Mac, and Windows. I have been able to run latest code in Windows 10 and Linux environments.?
For more information and instructions please check?
D - Rats development is steady, check the link above (github) to see the issues, progress and keep in touch or better contribute!? Also check the wiki section.
Thank you very very much to John, Maurizio and other developers!? Hope to see some new features in D Rats during 2024 development!?
