Rapicorn 8.4.0 has just been released to the world: Rapicorn v8.4.0 Announcement
Lots of things have happened since the last snapshot over a year ago, some of which kept me from making releases or snapshots earlier. ;-)
Others actually took place in the code base as interesting developments, summarized below.
There’s quite [...]
There have been several requests about hosting Gtk+ (and GLib) as a Git repository recently and since that topic has come up more and more often, I meant to write about this for quite some time.
Let’s first take a look at the actual motivation for such a move. There are [...]
I finally got around to fix a long-standing and tricky bug report: Bug 64764 – Class initialization isn’t thread safe. Thread safety problems in class initializers and _get_type() functions caused nasty problems in other components that depend on parallel type creation, in particular GStreamer (Dependency Graph for bug 64764). With both being fixed [...]
A couple people have reported minor and major bugs in the last yyhelp version, particularly after yycommit got reimplemented to operate on top of git-commit(1) instead of cg-commit(1). Besides some others, this new release fixes all known yycommit issues and also (re-)introduces some new features: yyhelp (v0.9)
Overview of Changes in YummyYummySourceControl-0.9:
* use plain [...]
Here is a new release of YummyYummySourceControl, a shallow porcelain script around common git(7) command variants: yyhelp (v0.8)
This version supports a new command to grep and match an extended regular expression on the full project history by invoking git-grep(1) on all existing commits, displaying matches by commit hash and file name. Also, a CVS/SVN/Cogito [...]
We’ve been fairly busy recently with resolving the milestone bugs of the next Beast release. The good news is that pretty much all of the hard issues are sorted out by now, the bad news is that according to the release plan some essential release features are still missing ;)
It’s the large recent work [...]
I’ve had to add another bit to yyhelp to make my everyday coding more convenient, so it got support for git-svn(1). The yypull and yypushpull commands will now detect a git(7) repository set up with git-svn, and unless the repository also has a regular git upstream, pulling and pushing will be carried out via [...]
The YummyYummySourceControl script got a few buglet fixups during the last days, so I’ve put up version 0.5b: yyhelp.
Here’s the obligatory list of changes since the last version:
Overview of Changes in YummyYummySourceControl-0.5b:
* update stat info for yycommit to ignore touched but unmodified files
* use full paths for yyrestore to fix spurious file resurrections [...]
I’ve put up a new release of the slightly renamed YummyYummySourceControl script here: yyhelp (0.5). The script still depends on cogito(7) for the implementation of yycommit, but other such dependencies have been removed at this point so it’ll eventually depend on Git(7) only. Following is a sum up of the changes between the [...]
Or: Who in the world is actually linking against GLib without Gtk+?
I’m currently in the process of building some general purpose infrastructure for Rapicorn and because a good portion of the C++ utilities used in Beast and Rapicorn are factored out into an extra library called Birnet. I’m running into similar complexity [...]
