Hello everyone,

This is an early updated (patch) release to the 3.8 release.

We recently identified bugs that may affect those who use the Auto-Code Exact Text feature (The left-most Auto-code button). The issues were selecting multiple files to auto-code, and the application of the Regex function.

• Fixed: Auto-Code Exact Text using Regex, The Regex text itself was stored and presented in reports, and not the text that the Regex referred to.
• Fixed: Auto-code when selecting multiple files the auto-code may not always scan through all the files.
• Fixed: Other minor bugs described in the Known Issues for 3.8 were also addressed.
• There is one new feature. There is an option to import from a Taguette.sqlite3 file.

QualCoder 3.8 is now released

This is available here: https://github.com/ccbogel/QualCoder/releases/tag/3.8

The manual for QualCoder 3.8: https://qualcoder-org.github.io/

The manual has information in French and currently partially translated in Spanish and we hope to expand on those in the future: https://qualcoder-org.github.io/doc/en/

This release will have executables (binaries) for Window 11, macOS (recent versions) and Ubuntu (and similar) Linux. These executables will be uploaded gradually over the next few days.

We have fixed errors and added functionality, where possible, to make QualCoder a better free qualitative software option. We hope you enjoy using QualCoder for your research endeavors.

We have a growing group of core developers, and thank Kai, Justin and Lorenzo for coding, testing, documentation and more.

with regards Colin

DeepWiki helps developers, students, and researchers interact with code repositories, such as GitHub. DeepWiki helps to quickly understand and navigate open-source code. So this might assist other developers and those wanting bespoke software implementations.

This presentation by Prof. Erin Owens from the Sam Houston State University shows two free qualitative options: Taguette and QualCoder. The QualCoder version shown is the older 3.5 version but still worth viewing.
