Quick progress report re OpenXTalk Lite
I'm currently testing on all three major platforms at the moment, to see if I can catch any errors I've not yet fixed.
Just so that above statement isn't scrutinised further, I'll clarify now: that's fixing any errors that I can fix that are in the IDE.
You'll be glad to read that I've sorted out the shortcuts fighting with eachother, as they were trying to be set in multiple places at once.
There are already a lot of bugfixes in 0.99 that I'll detail in the release notes nearer the time (soon).
The 0.99 build is all about optimisations, and the IDE is a lot faster to boot. Menus are a lot more responsive. (lots of script cleanup)
Just thought I'd post a quick video, as I think it's a lot faster to launch. (this is not edited and is in realtime)

IDE load time: 2.6 seconds
(Responsive at 3 seconds)
Able to make a new window at 5 seconds (but that's factoring in the time it took me to test the menu)
Test PC (mid/low-end) specs used in the video:
Processor: i5 (4th gen) @ 2GHz
Ram: 8GB
Boot drive: SSD - sata (TCSUNBOW v3)
OS: Debian Linux 12 Bookworm 64bit
Not that this matters a great deal - but it should be drastically faster to launch on an M-series mac, or anything with a higher spec processor (like a modern i9 or something). It's really to illustrate that it's a lot more efficient at loading the IDE than it was. Hopefully that will benefit older hardware too.
