According to devel list comments in 10/2019, the new GUI has been incubating for a few years, but there's apparently been a lot of progress recently. | |||
It is likely the new GUI will be a user opt-in feature - at least initially. The sunset of the PLIB library _could_ happen relatively soon, but | |||
people will need to see the new GUI and react to it before we could commit to PLIB removal.<ref>https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/36784489/</ref> | |||
In 10/2017, James said he was getting really close to having the PUI replacement UI suitable for beta-testing.<ref>{{cite web | In 10/2017, James said he was getting really close to having the PUI replacement UI suitable for beta-testing.<ref>{{cite web | ||

Originally, James was hoping to land the PUI replacement GUI in the last dev cycle in 2017 (at least as a proof-of-concept, probably not as the default UI), so wouldn’t expend lots of effort on things like collapsible sections which might be a lot of work with the current PUI/Canvas approaches, but are trivial with the new [[QtQuick use in FlightGear|QtQuick based UI scheme]].<ref>{{cite web | |||
