At this point the code lacked support for any modern operating system other than Windows 7. Ubuntu and OSX support for any current versions of these OS&apos;s did not yet exist.&lt;p&gt;The challenges involved in moving forward with the code base from the previous maintainer were documented in this post:&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tidesdk.org/blog/2012/11/16/1-dot-3-1-beta-release-announcement/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.tidesdk.org/blog/2012/11/16/1-dot-3-1-beta-releas...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;The work has been steady and ongoing. The software itself is complex and substantial progress has been made. More that 1 million line changes of code were made to end of Dec, 2012.&lt;p&gt;This kind of investment and involvement in this project has been huge for us. It is certainly deeper than the rebranding and documentation effort that we also undertook as part of the project.&lt;p&gt;TideSDK became an affiliate project of Software in the Public Interest (SPI) in October, 2012. As part of this non-profit organization, we stand together with other significant and substantial open source projects (including Postgres, Drupal, Debian, Jenkins, ArchLinux) that are under the non-profit administration of the SPI.&lt;p&gt;Tens of thousands of developers now discovering TideSDK as a result of our efforts. This number is steadily increasing. Ongoing upgrades and fundamental code changes in the sources are leading to an amazing solution.&lt;p&gt;Commercial developments involving TideSDK are also underway for many. Obviously, despite the surge in mobile use, desktop development is comparatively smaller. That said, there remains an important need to address for the desktop that TideSDK is filling.&lt;p&gt;We&apos;ve put plenty of effort into establishing community around TideSDK as well and to make resources available to developers:&lt;p&gt;Documentation: &lt;a href=&quot;http://tidesdk.multipart.net/docs/user-dev/generated&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://tidesdk.multipart.net/docs/user-dev/generated&lt;/a&gt;

The core talent behind TideSDK formed &lt;a href=&quot;http://coastalforge.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://coastalforge.com&lt;/a&gt; to bring services and support. We&apos;ve also got an amazing new solution to reveal shortly that has been spawned from our work. More on these efforts quite soon.&lt;p&gt;David Pratt

I know it is a grey area of ethics, but perhaps we should encourage to put real partners (clients, etc.). If you quickly scroll you may see it as more impressive, but in long run listing that kinds of acts seems unprofessional (e.g. listing Microsoft as major partner, when you just license their software).</text></comment>
