I am in the process of evaluating LVGL and SquareLine Studio. There are a number of features that seem to be missing from SquareLine Studio v1 that would be a barrier to adoption.
Whilst running through the tutorials on YouTube I came across this conference presentation:
It introduces the next major version of SquareLine, but the release dates mentioned in the presentation have passed.
Is there an updated release date?
Is there a beta program that can be signed up to? and if so how do you go about that?
Is there a spec page anywhere that would give more details about what to expect? I am particularly interested to know if there will be:
The ability to add logic within the editor, rather than having to do this in code.
Better support for underlying LVGL features, again so that you don’t have to edit code to use the LVGL feature.
Custom widget support, possibly through an extension API of some sort, so that designers can utilise custom widgets.
In summary, anything that allows design to carry on in the editor. At the moment, as soon as anything advanced is required, it forces you to code, at which point you can’t then go back to SquareLine.
Thanks for your comments, most of these are already in progress or planned in SquareLine Studio.
Regarding your 2nd question, we’ll send out information soon to all registered SquareLine users.
No response indicates no interest in supporting LVGL V9, this will cause a large influx of developers towards platforms that prove to be much more available, for example EEZ Studio!
Personally, if a working version doesn’t arrive soon I will make different choices!!!
My point here is that we are now in Q2 (i.e. after the date you mentioned above), when I had planned in evaluation work at the beginning of Q2. Appreciate that the release may have slipped, but it would be good to get an updated date so we can re-plan our work.
