Mala 2.0 is being developed
« on: May 01, 2026, 11:20:13 pm »
Thanks to A.I. , I was able to revive the soruce code from Delphi 2007 to use Delphi 12 IDE to compile it again

I had to replace a bunch of old supporting libs and fork out some cash for code to support video previews in layouts and video screensaver.
But 2.0 beta is working but with a bunch of bugs at the moment.  I will work though them with a view of releasing a new beta version in coming months, I also need to revive the website from an old backup.

Anyway, So with your encouragement I intend to bring this old FE back to life
Thanks for your patience :-)

Wonderful to see Mala's resurrection. I miss the simple functionality.

Dang, I just popped on to start looking at an FE to upgrade to, and this pops up. still running MalaFE/autohotkey/ on my rotating lcd cab but the old PC is dying.   might be a good time to test the revived/new version

Great news! Mala is still my favourite FE. Interested to see what v2.0 brings.
