The Road Ahead
some news, some announcements and some updates
The News
Some days ago we published our new download statistics and even though we don't count fc40 downloads anymore we only lost 43 downloads in total.
In other news we are officially only considering bug fixes for libstp2 and Setup Tool stable.
Announcements
First the big announcement, we have a website now. It has been online for almost a month already, but now is at a stage where we are actually pretty happy with it. You can find it: here
The second announcement is that we started the work on Setup Tool 2026.04, so the April 2026 release, as we want to have more time for new features and new versions of our program.
On the same topic we are currently working on a ansible capable version of our tool which will hopefully be ready for release in April next year.
We also decided to release the new iteration of our C-library alongside ST 2026.04, which will result in LibSTP v2 (libstp2) having a shorter support window, as we will support LibSTP v3 (libstp3) from April 2026 on.
Development of LibSTP v3 will start in January 2026, so we hope that we can switch to LibSTP v3 in ST by Alpha 4 or Beta 1.
Updates
We are currently working on ST 2026.04 Alpha 2, which will hopefully be released next week.
We got a nice seat upgrade for our Gitlab instance from 5 to 100 seats.
