Goals reached?

Hey folks,
Just realised that Patreon has goals recorded in a rather bizarre way. When I set up the goals, I was under the impression a $500 goal was when the Patreon eventually accumulated $500, over however many months that took.
That's not how it works, it appears; the goals are somewhat less usefully based on the income per month. So I would need patrons funding me $500 per month before it would complete the first goal. That's kinda dumb, and not what I had intended, I'm not an extortionist. (Heck, I lowered the goals recently because I thought it was oddly slow.)

So, I'm gonna continue using the system I thought I had, and now we've reached the first three goals!

First goal being met means you can expect Lacewing Blue Unicode incoming within the next few weeks. It would be faster, but I have to merge all the fixes I've been doing to the non-Unicode with the code that makes it, well, Unicode-compatible.

For those who aren't familiar with Unicode, it is what enables Fusion to work with multi-language text formats; foreign alphabets, Chinese symbols, Arabic language, Greek, etc. It also includes emojis and all the rest, for the heathens that want that.

There's actually a second reason to why Lacewing Blue Unicode is done before Blue Android, despite demand; Android uses Unicode by default, more specifically UTF-8. Converting to non-Unicode (ANSI) is pretty convoluted in Android, so it would be best to make Lacewing Unicode-compatible before attempting to hook it up with Android.

Second goal being met means Tree Lister object is being released. It's a small object designed to work with large file systems, where you intend to loop through thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of files. It's Windows-only, but Unicode-compatible. It will probably be free.

Third goal being met means SQL ODBC object is being released too. I'll be putting that on the ClickStore, it'd be paid for (by non-patrons), and in the meantime, I'll be distributing this to any patron that asks for it, including the $5 tier patrons.
Feel free to message me for it on Discord, and I think Patreon has a direct messaging service if you prefer that. If you've been a patron and stopped, then you can also request it... although you won't be able to read this post.

All three goals are met so far, fourth yet to come, but we're halfway there already! 🥳
My goals were accumulative like that, e.g. if there was a $100 before a $50 goal, the $100 would already be half paid by the $50 goal being met.

Thanks for your patronage as always! Sorry for the delay so far.🙇‍♂️

Cheers,
