Where is Butter Quest Tracker right now?

Hey everyone! 👋

Figured I'd give an update here rather then posting on individual issues.
Around a month or so ago I decided to rewrite a large portion of the GUI code for Butter Quest Tracker due to numerous inconsistencies / issues I was seeing with AceGUI (see #51, #55, #56).
Due to this I effectively threw BQT into maintenance mode (bug fixes only) and focused on working on the rewrite.

Most of my expertise is in web development and as such when rewriting the code I opted to pull it out into a separate library and make it heavily influenced by the way the Web and CSS work. You can see some of the work I've done so far here.

As you've probably already noticed, the last time I touched that Repository was October 22nd (on the rework branch). This is because I had effectively burned myself out on the project and no longer played WoW. I really was only logging in to test the code I was writing.

Now all that said I feel like there's one important question that I need to answer.

What're my plans for Butter Quest Tracker?

Firstly, I have zero intentions at this point in time of sunsetting or killing Butter Quest Tracker.
I strongly feel like it still has a purpose and a place as an Addon.

With that out of the way, these are my current goals for Butter Quest Tracker...

Finish the GUI Rewrite

There's quite a bit of work that needs to be done on ButterGUI-1.0 to make it ready for ButterQuestTracker.

However once it's completed I'll release an alpha version of BQT to CurseForge in hopes of getting users to help me work out all of the potential issues.

I may end up releasing this alone as v1.10.0 due to how massive the change will be.

Implement Pending Features from v1.10.0

The features have continued to stack up for v1.10.0 so I'll likely have to separate them out into multiple releases at this point to prevent breaking significant portions of the Addon.

Place Butter Quest Tracker back into Maintenance Mode

Since I don't really play anymore at this point my long-term goal is to get everything implemented and focus purely on bug fixes. If some revolutionary feature is requested I'll most likely implement it.

Closing

I hope this answers the primary questions you may have had about the current status of Butter Quest Tracker. At this point I can't really give an ETA as to when any of the above will be implemented, just know that I'm still thinking about this project.

Feel free to leave comments on this issue if you have any related questions that I didn't cover.
