How to Follow New Releases from Gott Code
Updated
To follow new releases from Gott Code, check the Latest News section on gottcode.org for version numbers and release dates, or read the author's blog, which the site's About section names as the way to keep up with his work. The page describes no subscription, email list, or notification mechanism, so following releases means visiting one of those two places rather than signing up for alerts.
What the Latest News section shows
The news list is the most direct record of releases. Each entry pairs a program name with a version number and a date. In the snapshot available, every listed program shares the same release date, July 23, 2026:
| Program | Version | Release date |
|---|---|---|
| FocusWriter | 1.9.1 | July 23, 2026 |
| Kapow Punch Clock | 1.7.1 | July 23, 2026 |
| Tetzle | 3.0.5 | July 23, 2026 |
| Tanglet | 1.6.10 | July 23, 2026 |
| Simsu | 1.4.8 | July 23, 2026 |
| Peg-E | 1.3.7 | July 23, 2026 |
| NovProg | 3.2.7 | July 23, 2026 |
| Hexalate | 1.2.7 | July 23, 2026 |
| Gottet | 1.2.8 | July 23, 2026 |
| CuteMaze | 1.3.7 | July 23, 2026 |
This pattern is useful for two reasons. First, it tells you the project ships updates in batches, so a single visit can confirm the current version of most programs at once. Second, it means a program missing from the list is not necessarily abandoned; it may simply not have changed in the most recent batch.
Using the blog as the follow-up channel
The About section, written by Graeme Gott, identifies him as an open source programmer and Linux user since 2001, and notes he may be known as "The FocusWriter Guy" or "The Whisker Menu Guy." It closes by saying visitors can keep up with his work by reading his blog. That makes the blog the intended channel for ongoing updates beyond the release list, such as announcements or context around a release.
A practical routine
- Open gottcode.org and read the Latest News entries to get current version numbers and dates.
- Compare those versions against what you have installed for the program you care about.
- If you want more than version numbers, follow the link to the author's blog from the About section.
- Repeat the check periodically, since the site offers no push notification.
For example, if you rely on FocusWriter as a distraction-free word processor, note that 1.9.1 is the version shown in the news list, then check your installed copy against it before deciding whether to update.
What the page does not provide
The available page content does not describe an RSS feed, mailing list, or any other subscription option, and it does not state pricing or download mechanics. Treat the news list and blog as the documented ways to stay informed, and verify anything beyond that on the site itself.
