Original Readme By Arizona Software

Thank you for downloading the source code of ProVoc! Please take a moment to read the following lines:

• This source code is available under the BSD license (see below)
• This code base is really, really old... Please keep in mind that this software has grown from a simple vocabulary training app that we've written (probably like many of you out there) "just for our own needs".
• Be thus accordingly indulgent! We known that the overall structure, the design patterns used, well... almost everything could have been much clearer and much better -- if only we had the same knowledge at that time as today.
• If you want to rewrite this app, think seriously about adopting some up-to-date technology (CoreData is beyond any question, so as QTCapture and all sorts of other things)
• This code should primarly serve as a reference for those of you who want to write some "importers" for ProVoc vocabulary files.
• Please understand that we don't have time anymore to provide support of any kind, or answer questions about the code.

Having said that, enjoy developing for Mac OS X -- we can assure you that it's really a fun and inspiring experience!

ProVoc 5

The dev branch contains an updated version of the original version 4.2.4 code base, which has been abandoned about 13 years ago by its original developer and maintainer Arizona Software. That means that the dev branch doesn't contain the changes committed to the master branch by Mike Holman (http://github.com/mikecsh/), at least not yet. It'll stay there until deemed stable enough to be merged to the master branch.

More informations about the status of this branch is to be found in the Project's Wiki.
