Here is a brief progress report on HN v5 development for the month of December 2022.
The aim is to get the Chart demo project running inside HN5 Creator IDE.
The development is being carried out on a Windows 7 x64 machine building for x32.
Note, x64 builds work just as well as x32 ones.
The development language is Free Pascal which should ensure HN5 will be able to run on a variety of older and newer Operating Systems.
The main targets being Windows, MacOS + OS X, and then Linux.
