* DONE Iteration 0 (150 h)
** summary

The first iteration was resolving around identifying problems and
cleaning up the code base. We've moved sources to their corresponding
directories, cleaned up system definition file, fixed dependency tree,
replaced big parts of code with a libraries like trivial-gray-stream
and opticl. Removed defunct backends (all except clx, beagle and
null).

We've also refreshed the website, mailing list and created the IRC
channel #clim. Some information on the social news (planet.lisp.org,
reddit.com, twitter.com) spawned interest in McCLIM and ensured us,
that there are people who are willing to use it and that it's a
worthwhile effort.

* DONE Iteration 1 (2016-08)
** summary

Dear Supporters,

I'm publishing a progress report for month August with detailed
timelog and brief description of undertakings performed each day. This
file also contains report for the previous iteration sponsored by
Professor Robert Strandh.

[[https://common-lisp.net/project/mcclim/static/documents/status-reports.org]]

The most important achievement was securing funds for a few months of
work with the =Bountysource= crowdfunding campaign. We've created some
bounties to attract new developers. =#clim= channel on =Freenode= is
active and we seem to regain the user base what results in interesting
discussions, knowledge sharing and increased awareness about the
project among non-clim users.

We have also gained valuable feedback about user expectations
regarding the further development and issues which are the most
inconvenient for them. We've added a new section on the website
[[https://common-lisp.net/project/mcclim/involve]] which addresses some
common questions and doubts and we have created a wiki on GitHub (not
very useful yet [[https://github.com/robert-strandh/McCLIM/wiki]]).

During this time we are constantly working on identifying and fixing
issues, cleaning up the code base and thinking about potential
improvements. Curious reader may consult the git repository log, IRC
log and read the logbook.

As a side note, I've exceeded time meant for this iteration by four
hours, but I'm treating it as my free time. Additionally people may
have noticed that I did some works on CLX not specifically related to
McCLIM – this development was done on my own time as well.

Also, to address a few questions regarding our agenda – our roadmap is
listed here: [[https://common-lisp.net/project/mcclim/involve]]. That
means among other things, that we are concentrated on finishing and
polishing the CLX backend and we are currently *not* working on any
other backends.

If you have any questions, doubts or suggestions – please contact me
either with email (daniel@turtleware.eu) or on IRC (my nick is
jackdaniel).

Sincerely yours,
Daniel Kochmański

* DONE Iteration 2 (2016-09)
** summary
Dear Community,

During this iteration my main focus was targeted towards refactoring
font implementation for McCLIM. Major changes were applied to both the
CLX backend and the TrueType extension - fixing issues and improving
functionality. A brief description of the TrueType extension is added
in the corresponding system =mcclim-fonts/truetype= (in the form of
=README.md= file).

The branch with mentioned changes waits for a peer review and will be
hopefully merged soon. Since it is a vast change any critical feedback
is very welcome:

https://github.com/robert-strandh/McCLIM/pull/97

In the meantime I've worked a bit on [[https://github.com/robert-strandh/McCLIM/issues/55][issue #55]] (without great
success), answered questions on IRC, responded to reported issues and
merged some pull requests. I'm very pleased that we have a modest, yet
constant stream of contributions - many thanks to all contributors.

Posted bounties have not been claimed yet and unfortunately we haven't
found a second developer for the agreed price so far.

A detailed report is available at:

https://common-lisp.net/project/mcclim/static/documents/status-reports.org

If you have any questions, doubts or suggestions – please contact me
either with email (daniel@turtleware.eu) or on IRC (my nick is
=jackdaniel=).

Sincerely yours,
Daniel Kochmański

* DONE Iteration 3 (2016-10)
** summary
Dear Community,

During this iteration I was working on a tutorial about how to create
an application from scratch with McCLIM used as a GUI toolkit with a
detailed description of each step. This is targeted at beginners who
want to write their own project with a =CLIM= interface. The tutorial
isn't finished yet, but I expect to publish it soon.

The =font-autoconfigure= branch was successfully merged to the master
branch and various issues were closed thanks to that. One of them is
bounty issue #65. Since I don't know how to cancel the bounty, I'm
claiming it ($100), and I'm withdrawing from the McCLIM account the
usual amount with this $100 subtracted.

I have replaced the =clim-listener= non-portable utilities with the
=osicat= portability layer and the =alexandria= library. Changes are
present in the =develop= branch (not merged yet).

The rest of the time was spent on peer review of the contributions,
merging pull requests, development discussions, questions on IRC and
other maintenance tasks.

A detailed report is available at:

https://common-lisp.net/project/mcclim/static/documents/status-reports.org

If you have any questions, doubts or suggestions – please contact me
either with email (daniel@turtleware.eu) or on IRC (my nick is
=jackdaniel=).

Sincerely yours,
Daniel Kochmański

** summary
Dear Community,

During this iteration I have continued to work on the tutorial,
improving documentation, working on issues and assuring CLIM II
specification compatibility.

Most notable change is that argument type in =define-command= is not
evaluated (but if it is quoted it still works for backward
compatibility reasons). I've also started some refactoring of the
=frames= module implementation.

The tutorial work takes some time because I try to fix bugs when I
encounter them to make the walkthrough as flawless as possible. While
I'm not overly satisfied with the tutorial writing progress and its
current shape, this work results in benefit of improving the code and
the documentation.

The documentation chapter named "Demos and applications" has been
updated to reflect the current state of the code base. Some additional
clarifications about the pane order and pane names have been added
added to it. I've updated the website to include the external
tutorials and include the =Guided Tour= in the =Resources=
section. The manual has been updated as well.

The rest of the time was spent on peer review of the contributions,
merging pull requests, development discussions, questions on IRC and
other maintenance tasks.

Alessandro Serra has created a =Raster Image Backend= – a backend
similar to =PostScript=, but having PNG as its output. See "Drawing
Tests" in =clim-examples= and the chapter "Raster Image backend" in
the Manual.

** summary
Dear Community,

During this iteration I have continued working on the tutorial, fixing
the issues and assuring CLIM II specification compatibility.

The most notable change is =standard-application-frame= implementation
refactor which simplifies the code and moves some computation to
creation time (until now we have searched through sheet hierarchy at
each iteration of command loop and at various other occasions at
runtime).

The rest of the time was spent on peer review of the contributions,
merging pull requests, development discussions, questions on IRC and
other maintenance tasks.

Alessandro Serra has created a =Framebuffer Backend= – a working proof
of concept that McCLIM may work on top of a frame buffer. Albeit a bit
slow, you may find instructions how to run it here:

https://github.com/robert-strandh/McCLIM/wiki/CLX-backend(s)

Happy new year!

Sincerely yours,
Daniel Kochmański
