## Contributing
We welcome contributions from the community to help make QLC+ even better. Before diving into coding, we encourage you to start a discussion in our [Software Development](https://www.qlcplus.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=12) forum if you're considering adding a new feature or making significant changes. This provides an opportunity for feedback, collaboration, and ensuring alignment with the project's goals.

### 🚧 Developers at work 🚧
If you're regularly updating QLC+ sources with git pull, you may encounter compiler warnings, errors, or unresolved symbols. This is because the source package is still in development. We strive to keep the GIT master branch free of critical errors; However, dependencies between objects can sometimes cause issues, requiring a full package recompilation rather than just updating recent changes.
