Thrive: Progress Update 4/11/2026

With Easter still eating into the workdays, and about half the work time still going into our development infrastructure in the background, progress is once again limited on the visible side this week. Several volunteer contributions are also close to completion, but not yet merged this week. However, we do have a significant amount of dev…

Thrive: Progress Update 4/04/2026

We have exciting news this week as we have finally assembled our Multicellular Stage Release Roadmap! As we are still hoping to finish the stage this year, this is the list of things we are planning to implement by 2027. You may note that this looks like a lot of releases in one year, and a limited number of features in each release. I…

Thrive: Progress Update 3/28/2026

This week’s update looks a lot more quiet, as much of the work has gone into our back-end systems that allow us to continue developing Thrive. Another factor is that while several volunteer contributions are in progress, there are less that were actually finished this week. There were still a few smaller bugfixes tweaks however. For ex…

Thrive: Progress Update 3/21/2026

It’s been another busy week in Thrive development. Release 1.0.1.1 went out on Monday as a (mostly) bugfix update. Included in that was a fix for Multicellular design conversion sometimes failing (leaving you stuck at a black screen). But there were also other recent improvements included, like a reduction in auto-evo memory usage, and…

Thrive: Progress Update 3/14/2026

The theme of this week is “fixes and auto-evo”. Last week was the release of 1.0.1, and as always that produced some issues that had to be fixed. In particular, some people were experiencing an issue where the screen was stuck on black when trying to exit the Multicellular editor. This turned out to be a problem with some specific layouts …

Thrive: Progress Update 2/28/2026

As said last week, we delayed 1.0.1 to try to fit in a few more things, in which we succeeded. So today we are in feature freeze, and we have a release candidate build for all those interested to test before the full release next week. Of course, we want that release to be as bug-free as possible, so we appreciate any and all help!

Thrive: Progress Update 2/21/2026

Originally, at this time we were supposed to be in feature freeze right now, preparing for the release of version 1.0.1. However, we decided to delay that by a week so that we will be able to squeeze in just a few more features that are very close to finished. What we have for you this week is already pretty exciting though!

First, w…
