Weekly development report 2023-06-17

Welcome to the weekly development report or what was done in my Open Source projects in the last week.

Steam Sky

Roguelike in a sky with steampunk theme (written in Ada)

Another week with nothing to report in the stable version. As usual, I suspect I have blindness. :)

In the development version, as always, the best time for finding bugs is a couple of days after a release. But there are some small changes too:

Fixed bug with showing information about finishes stories in the knowledge screen.
Fixed several typos in the game's documentation.
Finished work on the list of modules in the player's ship's info screen. It now can be sorted by the additional info.
Added ability to "remember" the amount of custom waiting time in the wait menu.
As always, updated the game's documentation with information about the latest changes.
The work to move the game into Nimland slowly moves forward. Around 15% of code are moved now, another small milestone reached. ;)
And the old Ada code got some improvements.

Nimalyzer

The static code analyzer for Nim programming language

And the work on the next release slowly moves forward. This week brings some new features to the program's configuration mostly:

Finished work on new the program's configuration directive, reset, mentioned in the previous week. Looks like everything works as expected. ;)
Updated the program's documentation with information about the new configuration's directive.
The GitHub workflow updated to the new version of the program's configuration too.
Added a couple of debug messages when parsing the program's configuration files.
Added the new program's configuration directive, message. As its name suggest, it allows to print a message when the program is running. The first message is always show only once, but the subsequent, for example between rules settings, are show with every file checked.
Same as above, the program's documentation was updated with information about how to use the new configuration directive.
Added another configuration setting, forcefixcommand. If set to 1 or true it will force next rules to use the fixcommand setting for fix types of rules instead of their code related to the fix type of rules. It is also possible to disable this setting with set it to 0 or false in a configuration file.
Should I mention that the project's documentation was updated with information about the new configuration option? :)
The tool gendoc was updated to the new version of the program's configuration too.
Fixed detection of documentation in objects' types declarations by hasDoc rule.
BREAKING: hasDoc rule now require the option to set, which declarations should be checked for documentation. The old behavior is available by set option to all value, for example: check hasDoc all. Here are still some small changes which should be done in the next week.
Started work on fix type of rule for hasDoc rule. At the moment only code for removing documentation is added, more work to come, of course in the next week. ;)

Wine cellar

A graphical user interface for managing Windows programs on FreeBSD

As the project is on low priority, only one change this week: GitHub testing workflow now tests the program on FreeBSD instead of Linux. After all, it is a FreeBSD centric project. ;)

Speaking of which, happy 30th birthday FreeBSD. Let's hope for another 60 or more years together. :)
