After the release of <TeXmacs> 2.1, we wish to upgrade <TeXmacs> to
<name|Qt>5, which should allow the deployment on new platforms such as
<name|Android>. This also opens the road for a specific interface for
tablets and mobile phones.

simplified system for making donations to <TeXmacs> and sell our software
and documentation.
Within a slightly longer time period of about one or two years, we have <tmdoc-copyright|2019|Joris van der Hoeven>
also started to reorganize <TeXmacs> so as to make it a stable development
platform for developments. The aim is to reach as quickly as possible a
point where the different parts of <TeXmacs> are well documented and
modularized, so that they can easily be further developed in parallel by
different people. Most of these deeper developments will reach their
maturity only in the after-next stable version<nbsp>1.2, and comprise the
following items:
<\itemize>
<item>Improve the quality of the <TeXmacs> makefiles so as to make them
completely compatible with <verbatim|automake> and <verbatim|autoconf>.
<item>Replace the current widget system by a markup-based system, with
the possibility to use widgets (from Gtk, Qt, Aqua, etc.) from standard
GUI's instead of the <TeXmacs>-provided style files.
<item>Separate the style rewriting engine from the typesetter and make
both completely lazy.
<item>Increase the robustness and use of DRDs (Data Relation
Definitions), which contain meta-information about <TeXmacs> or
user-provided DTDs.
<item>Migrate as much as possible of the high-level interface from C++ to
<name|Scheme>.
<item>Increase the robustness of <TeXmacs> and its <name|Scheme> APIs by
providing detailed exception semantics and tools for debugging.
<item>Provide extended documentation for developers and intelligent
interactive ways to use this documentation.
