Weekly development report 2023-07-15

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)

And welcome to the first weekly development report from "boring and short" series, before a next major release of the game. I started testing the game and as expected, the bugs arrived. :) The whole week spent on bugs fixing and updates to the game's code:

• Fixed bug with generated NPC's ships starting with docked speed, so the player can always escape them.
• Fixed crash when the game deletes an expired event.
• Fixed showing Ask For Events button even right after asking for them.
• And fixed that crew members don't need to rest or consume anything (my favorite). :)
• As usual, some code moved to a new home, the work now is on moving creating a new game there.
• The never-ending story with updating the old code continues slowly forward.

Nimalyzer

The static code analyzer for Nim programming language

Another big week for the small thing. :) A new alpha version, 0.5 released. But before it happened, there were some work done. Plus, after short, 1 minute celebration, the work on the project resumed. And the new code brings some breaking changes to the program's configuration.

• The for on the rule forStatements finished. Added all tests for it, even all passed after fixed some problems. :)
• Updated the project's documentation with information about the new rule.
• Here was the new alpha release. :)
• Made the program's configuration's file's syntax case-insensitive. Now settings like source, Source and sOuRcE all are valid. But please don't use the last one. :)
• Added code for fix type of paramsUsed rule. Now the rule can remove unused parameters from the subprograms' declarations. Can be breaking change if someone earlier used it just to execute fixCommand setting.
• Added check for empty for statement to forStatements rule. It works on the same way as in the ifStatements rule, removes for loops which contains only discard statement.
• Definitely breaking change: added option to set which checks perform for forStatements rule. Now all or just one of them can be selected. The option is now required, thus it breaks compatibility with the previous version of the program's configuration.
• And a lot of updates to the project's and the changed rules' documentation.

Wine cellar

A graphical user interface for managing Windows programs on FreeBSD

Same as in the previous week, the work on installing a new Windows application continues. Installing a Wine version from Wine-Freesbie project is finished and working properly, after fixing a couple of issues. ;) And now work will start on installing the application itself.

www.laeran.pl

Yass project to generate this website

And the almost annual update to the website done. No, the ugly, standard look will stay. :P The contact page got some updates with information about me and new ways to contact with myself, plus the website footer was changed to give link to the contact page instead of Matrix.
