Wordcraft comparison between version 0.7.0 and 0.14.0

 a) version 0.7.0 was released on Oct 14, 2026, need 89 Megabyte
b) version 0.14.0 was released on Nov 2, 2026, need 100 Megabyte

For a better understanding for the development process behind the AI generated code, two version of the wordcraft software should be compared which were released with an interval of 14 days. In Open source projects from the past, such a short period won't change the software drastically, because the amount of changes in a software is measured by the amount of commits. And before a commit can be made, the source code needs to be written which takes time.

In case of wordcraft, most of the commits were created by Claude Opus so the amount of commits is much higher. The open question is: does this affects the functionarlity of the software? Perhaps most commits are only random modification without real purpose. So there is a need to take a closer look into the executable file.

The older version a) is working reasonable well. The user can enter text, insert tables, export the document into the pdf format, and even an English only spell checking is available. The program has a lower quality than the original MS Word software, but it can be used to create documents and open existing .docx files.

The newer version b) has additional features:
- easier font selection in styles
- additional proofreading languages
- faster rendering of the text on the screen

Adding these features in around 2 weeks is only possible with Artificial Intelligence. No human development team can provide the code changes in such a short amount of time. If this commit frequency is valid also for the future, the wordcraft project will evolve into a production ready word processing software.
