Three weeks into the new year, most people who made resolutions have probably abandoned them again. Times favors the food, tabacco and other undesirable habits. We ignore one resolution after the other.
We even ignore the big ones. Such as UN Resolution 1441.
A bit of an early Christmas gift.. support for custom tokens in Atlantik!
I'm afraid this won't make it in KDE 3.1 though.. I could backport it to the branch, but I doubt this constitutes as a serious bugfix. The feature was seriously lacking though, so if you need it.. grab kdegames from CVS HEAD or wait for an 0.6.0 release somewhere after the holidays.
New releases of libCapsiNetwork, monopd and Atlantik. I've been a good boy (and hopefully a good coder), board game enthousiasts can be pleased with me.
Also, a new poem (from 1999 found in an old notebook) called The Dream and a little rant on Mountain Dew.
More proof that the Internet allows every nut with a keyboard to publish crap.
What's new?
New monopd release.
New Atlantik release.
New digital camera.
New poetry.
That's new. (sorry, too lazy to write an intellectual update)
Woke up feeling poetic and looking forward to my vacation to the USA, so I finally wrote something again: Taco Hell.
Atlantik 0.3.1 is out, as well as monopd 0.4.3. And there is a new screenshot of upcoming features for m 0.5.0 and A 0.4.0!
Atlantik 0.3.0 has been out for some days already but I'm already preparing a 0.3.1 release so you can play more Monopoly-like board games with less bugs. For some weird reason bugfixing gives me a bigger happy than working on new features these days, so monopd 0.4.2 is also out.
I might be hosting some more projects on UNIXcode.org soon. Give me enough time and UC.org (oughta get that shortcut!) will kick ass and it will kick it hard too! ;)
Boys and girls, EXTRA_DIST is very important when you use make dist. Released a new version of monopd yesterday without any README files. But don't worry, today is a day for celebrations ;) so monopd 0.4.1 is ready for you. Includes the packaging fixes, some bug fixes and of course all the new stuff that was in 0.4.0.
Atlantik update will be coming soon.
Some weekends are just great. After several weeks of hardly any coding activity at all I found time, inspiration and itches again and the results may be there! The monopd boardgame server finally supports the dreaded "10% or $200"-tax which is part of the official Monopoly rules. See the monopd News page for full details on this game rules and its implementation.
On a sadder note: some of the monopd changes necessary changed the API and gameplay enough that older clients will not work anymore. So, cvs up your Atlantik checkout! More details on how the monopd changes affect Atlantik can be found on the Atlantik News page, including workarounds for older Atlantik versions.
Also some good news on KDEnews.UNIXcode.org: we're fixing bugs, getting article submissions.. hopefully new items keep filling the queue and more users will register!
Looking forward to making some new releases of my code the next few weeks. KDE 3.1 will be out in a couple of months and for the first time in a long while I feel like I can include a decent Atlantik with it. :)
New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
