I saw that no updates, but I thought that it is because it is almost perfect. It is very sad because I don't know anything better (do you know?), even paid. It seems to be the best.
It is not hard to implement (while it doesn't look so) because there are no additional advanced techniques.

It is the best, imho. I doubt even paid for versions would be better. For one thing, hobiwan was so very accommodating toward feature requests where possible to implement. It was said that other developers are not.
There's 100s of open source Sudoku projects available, but I haven't bothered checking them out. Who knows which might be good, or not? https://sourceforge.net/directory/?q=sudoku

2 paid programs I know are much worse in supported techniques. I was very surprised when found much better and free.
HoDoKu needs support of several another types to be really cool. First of all, support of additional areas, it is very necessary because many types are just based on this.
If someone wants to implement this ("Greater than"), I can describe how to check to get next steps. First of all, it is needed to add "<", ">" to the layout.

It won't happen, sorry.
Why?
Because this project project is no longer under development. Its owner appears to have died some years ago.
There has been a little further work done with HoDoKu on GitHub, but there seems very small chance of more being done.
