  • FLEP custom patches: updates, testing and discussion

    As of today, FLEP comes in two workflows.

    The new workflow is intended to be an efficient, simple and robust drop-in replacement for the old workflow. But both workflows will be worked on in the foreseeable future, until the old workflow has no more users. At this point, it will be abandoned and only the new workflow will be updated.

    If you are starting your project now, or started recently, the recommendation is to use the new workflow. On the other hand, if your project is nearing completion, stick with the old workflow.

    As usual, feedback is welcome!

    From the FLEP developers (in alphabetical order): ChocolateFan, Dermahn, Krystian.
    Special thanks to: Troye.
