Most of those are readability changes: a lot of unneeded comments were removed they were just clutter, for instance. There are some functional changes but the trick is to determine what in the diff broke things. Maybe you’ll see something that I missed 🙂

How does the two-dot version differ? To me, things look the same. 😛

Think I’m done with…[Read more]

Almost got the includes sorted out for the Containers library in common. We’ll definitely want to review the directory structure at some point. We can do that now or later, doesn’t really matter when. If we do it later, though, that’ll mean I’ll need to adjust some include paths again. Will already need to do that anyways since I had to add the…[Read more]

Never was a fan of Carell’s comedy, maybe I’ll like his dramas better?

Sadly, none of those are available over here 🙁

Been continuing to watch old Looney Tunes lately and I’m still enjoying them quite a bit. The older ones from the 40s were a lot more creative than the later ones, in my opinion, with the characters being a lot less cliche.

Looks like we can turn on experimental Unicode support by just setting up the _UNICODE and UNICODE macros in CMake and replacing the DevIL libraries with the Unicode versions. The code already has checks for those to use the wide-character version of TCHAR (it may be done in the Windows API already but I haven’t gotten there yet) if the macros are…[Read more]

Haven’t been watching a whole lot myself, lately. Been reading most of the time.

Going to try and catch The Terror of Tiny Town, though. It looks like quite a bit of fun!

There’ll be nothing left at the rate he’s going!

Make sure to give it a straw bed or the likes to keep it comfortable! 🙂

Ugh. That’s annoying! Well, on the bright side, at least you have an extra set!

Yeah, I don’t generally trust those metrics and usually try to find the actual research. Or, better yet, I would ask my own dentist 😛

Just…[Read more]

Not really. Ideally, that kind of thing needs a native environment or you could get weird results.

I’m not really seeing much in the commit log. Even the changes necessary to the Windows API and for C++20 compliance look relatively benign so I’m not sure why it works in 0.6.3 but not in 0.7.0. Right now, the best I can say is that the ongoing…[Read more]

Okay, I pulled the release off of GitHub. I’ll update the threads in the morning.

In all likelihood, ill probably hold off on doing another release until after the overhaul has made more progress due to how unwieldy the code is at the moment

Sigh. Okay, I’ll put it on ice as soon as I get to the computer — probably tomorrow. Not sure what’s going on but I’ll take a look at the changes and see if they enlighten me. If not, it’ll probably stay in alpha until I finish modernizing the code as it should go away as we switch GUI toolkits and get rid of the nonstandard stuff, as well as f…[Read more]

Are you able to reproduce issue #38? Since it sounds like 0.6.3 is working, that mostly narrows it down to one of two things: missing Unicode support (not likely as abot is using ASCII) or the Windows API updates that had to be done. It also sounds similar to an issue I found while packaging 0.6.3 and put on the back burner as it was mostly worked…[Read more]

And 0.7.0 has been released 🙂

And all of the appropriate announcements have been made 🙂

Nope. Wasn’t able to find much on the community forums: just about everything I found dealt with doing restoration on your own, which isn’t feasible for me. I’ll probably need to reach out to that list and see what they say

In related news, this got announced last week:…[Read more]

Sure, we can mirror it. That would definitely help.

Redistribution is definitely allowed per the license:
For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
code. If you link other code…[Read more]

So, new error today: looks like SourceForge is blocking the automatic download of DevIL from the CI but I can grab it fine with wget locally. Will need to come up with a new way of getting it. I’d rather not add DevIL back into the repository if I can help it. And I was just about to publish version 0.7.0, too 🙁

Looks like we have msitools over here. Will need to look into it

Looks like the fee is only required if the organization is making money so we should be good for now. 🙂

The biggest blocker to having support for other compilers at the moment is the generated code. VS uses its Class Wizard to generate it which isn’t supported by other setups.…[Read more]

MSIX is for the Windows Store as opposed to a standard downloadable installer. May be something to consider down the road, however. It would require more work to get things running and I’m not entirely sure how to set the CI up for it. We can certainly add it to the tracker, though, as a long-term goal. It took Gimp years before they submitted it…[Read more]

I have yet to watch Sweeney Todd. Missed out on the stage version, too. 🙁

Really need to fix that

Florida oranges aren’t doing so hot lately. Citrus greening is hitting the state pretty hard, even home grown ones. On the bright side, the fig trees are doing great

I generally don’t have issues with the wildlife beating me edibles in the wild:…[Read more]

It looks like you can use wine cmd <batchfile>.bat to run it under wine but I don’t currently have Wine installed.

Should run the same on Windows server as it does on regular Windows. Just a thought: any plans on a PowerShell version? It looks like Microsoft is trying to replace the batchfile language with PowerShell scripts.

Yeah, we may need to forgo CPack as its feature set seems rather limiting. Its Inno support does look better than its WiX support, even though it is very much in the early stages (the docs definitely need some proof-reading). Wouldn’t give us the pretty MSI integration but the docs on using WiX (even the ones on the official Firegiant site) aren’t…[Read more]

CMake sets up their shortcuts via template files: https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/tree/master/Utilities/Release/WiX?ref_type=heads

Not yet sure how they do it, I’m still analyzing things. It would help if this stuff were documented but alas.

Gimp, on the other hand, uses Inno Setup (as does LOOT) but Inno doesn’t create MSI files, which…[Read more]
