KeyParaStocX / The KeyParaStocX Blog: Recent posts

The KeyParaStocX extension has reached 1000 downloads from the LibreOffice extension pages: https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en?q=KeyParaStocX&action_doExtensionSearch=Search (1004 as of this writing).
Total SF downloads are currently at 465 and on Apache OpenOffice, it's 415.

Due to SF disabling support for PHP, the project's website redirected to the SF project page, which was not intended.
The issue is fixed now (by uploading static HTML).

The first version of KeyParaStocX, 0.1.0, was created on 2011-06-06.
It wasn't on SourceForge then yet, but nevertheless the 6th of June can be considered KeyParaStocX project's "birthday".

KeyParaStocX version 1.1.0 has just been released.
Skip the operation if the keyword or the new style are empty.
Added error handling with an explanatory message.
Improvements in reading the configuration.
Added an initial unit test.
Updates in the documentation.

The very first version of KeyParaStocX, 0.1.0, was created on 2011-06-06.
It wasn't on SourceForge from the beginning (not even under its previous name), but nevertheless the 6th of June can be considered KeyParaStocX project's "birthday".

I'm proud to announce that KeyParaStocX has achieved the "Rising Star" Achievement Badge from SourceForge for reaching 100 monthly downloads (for the first time).
This is possible thanks to users like you! Try it and spread the word.

KeyParaStocX has been uploaded to a test repository on GitHub, and has passed a code security check.
Not all parts of the extension could be scanned, because not all tools support all the languages used.
You can track the quality badges on the KeyParaStocX website: https://keyparastocx.sourceforge.io/.

KeyParaStocX 1.0.1 has just been released.
Fix for languages missing in the default configuration. Fixed running under a special Python without sys.argv. Thanks to Matthias Seidel for reporting and help with testing.

All the created releases of KeyParaStocX have been uploaded to SF and the project is declared open.

As a result of SF's encouragement to using icons, I've decided to do some experiments with the Inkscape(tm) program.
I chose Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) because I wanted the icon to be scalable to any size without losing quality, and the only way to achieve that is with vector graphics.
The icon may be "tuned" or even fully changed later, but for now you can enjoy the current looks on the project page on SF and on the KeyParaStocX homepage at https://keyparastocx.sourceforge.io/ (both in the content and as the site icon). These icons are in the PNG format (another open standard), because this is what SF allows here, but the source is still SVG.

Encouraged by SF, I've decided to launch blogs for my software hosted here (which you can see on my profile page).
The blog will be a place where I will announce noteworthy changes to KeyParaStocX or its website, and new releases.
Remember that the first place that gets notified of a new release is ... the release page on SF (called "Files"), so be sure to watch that one as a first source of information on new releases. The page also has a data feed!
