33
34 KLighD has now moved out of the KIELER Pragmatics Project and is now a standalone project hosted on GitHub and had a first release there. For more information on that, visit the official [[KLighD GitHub page>>url:https://github.com/kieler/KLighD||shape="rect"]].

36 Together with removing KLighD from this project, we went through the remaining plug-ins and features and moved or discontinued a few more. For more information on the individual elements, see the [[Discontinued Projects>>url:https://rtsys.informatik.uni-kiel.de/confluence/x/GoAX||shape="rect"]]:

60 We're working hard to make the graphical modeling user experience as convenient as possible. However, bugs can still remain in the code and some things might not be as you would expect them. Please don't hesitate to send in bug reports or give other comments like feature requests.
