GaussianBeam

Fork of the classic GaussianBeam app developed by Jérôme Lodewyck and available on SourceForge. This fork is mostly for my own purposes, with minor tweaks for now. The code is now built with LTS Qt 5.15.12 and I intend to drop support for version 4 as well as port to version 6.5.0. This requires replacing Qt XmlPatterns unfortunately.

I also removed French translation since I don't speak it and don't intend to maintain it. It also created some build errors for me, but you can contribute the original files if you want to bring it back :)

Building from source

Alternatively you may try the old instructions in INSTALL
