Wildly Improved Code Base Reduced footprint of the software Undertaken long awaited code renovationRemoved tens of thousands lines of dead code Removed deprecated librariesTranslated many German comments to English Many other code renovation actions All: paying down substantial technical debt Using 21st Century C++ constructs

Ongoing Quality ProcessBackground Development Tools- Tinderboxes (14) compile the code after each commit- Hackers can check development problems in real time- 9 tinderboxes upload dailies for QA ongoing activities- Bibisect (Binary Bisect) help chasing regressions- Multiple office installs in a small package allow to spot the commit that introduced the bug

Automated TestsAutomated tests to prevent software problems- Fuzzy tests on filters to anticipate security issues- Nightly builds to execute tests on newest versions- Objective: to spot problems before they hit master- Tests integrated into development strategy- Every compile iteration by every developer on every platform runs new torture tests
