But after _FREE!ship_ v2.60 project was | abandoned on SourceForge.[0] | | Then _FREE!ship_ was forked and extended into _FREE!ship Plus_ | [1] by Associate Prof. _Victor Timoshenko_ [2] (National | Univerisity of Shipbuilding, Mykolaiv, Ukraine). _FREE!ship | Plus_ v3.50 was the last release of extended fork in Delphi, | and it also got a lot of closed source freeware plugins.[3] | | Since 2015 _FREE!ship Plus_ was forked into _FreeShip Plus in | Lazarus_ by _Mark Malakanov_ , initially it was planned as a | port for Linux[4]. Project is active on GitHub. | | Also, there was the _ShipCAD_ -- a try by _Greg Green_ to | rewrite original _FREE!ship_ to C++ /Qt, but it was unfinished | and abandoned.[5] | | [0] https://sourceforge.net/p/freeship | | [1] | http://web.archive.org/web/20160927052330/http://www.hydrons... | | [2] https://linkedin.com/victor-timoshenko-33a053a | | [3] | http://web.archive.org/web/20160927062856/http://www.hydrons... | | [4] | http://web.archive.org/web/20160822054832/http://hydronship.... | | [5] https://github.com/gpgreen/ShipCAD | bcardarella wrote: | Any change of getting a non-Windows build?
