295 Sudokuki is being completely rewritten at the moment.
296 It is no more based on Gtkmm for the GUI. The GUI is now
297 written in Java and based on Swing. The main reason to
298 this is that the author is having fun rewriting the
299 program from C++ to Java and to learn more about Swing.
301 The author is also hoping to make it easier for users
302 and contributors (developers, testers, translators) to
303 help with the project, because using Java, Sudokuki
304 is expected to be easier to install and run.
