In even later projects performance became an issue, so ReqM2 and T-Reqs were both superseded by the much faster Allosaurus (yes, at this point in time everyone went full pun-mode). While a lot faster, Allosaurus was somewhat clunky, and that was what started the development of OFT as a free software project.

In automotive projects that span over a decade, it is vital to manage requirements in the same manner as the codebase. This approach enables diffing of requirements, implementing changes through PRs, and the easier merging of requirements between Start-of-Production (SOP) branches. ## Free and Open Source -One thing was clear for the four original founders of OFT. This time we wanted a broader community around our requirement tracing suite. And, since we were convinced that there is a need for requirement engineering in general and tracing in particular, we decided to start OpenFastTrace as an open source project on GitHub with the [first commit](https://github.com/itsallcode/openfasttrace/commit/f4e9167cedad499c168ab4bb9a4e20d762f33f8b) in December 2015.
