The HOOPLE Libraries (version 1) / News: Recent posts

hoople1 smells like mothballs but it should compile again on gcc-4.6. there's a new file dated 2012 03 02 that has the fixed build files and a couple of c++ files. please see our better versions of all this stuff at http://feistymeow.org at your leisure.

The third release of HOOPLE has finally happened after months of development. The bundler application is now in a pretty great state, with full recursion on file paths, source and destination executable targets, and other helpful features. The release notes document more of the changes that have occurred. The project is hoping to release more often, but the CVS archives are always quite active if you want to work with the updates as they're available.

This is the second release of HOOPLE at sourceforge. Yeehah. This release has a lot of changes since our last release, mostly caused by supporting Unicode. The HOOPLE libraries can now be compiled with the windows UNICODE flag enabled in order to turn on windows unicode support. The internal representation is still UTF-8, but all win32 API functions are adapted to properly. The wx_ext tester (source/test_src/graphics/t_wxext) has been updated and can now load a font, load a utf-8 file with characters using that font, and display the results in a text window using the appropriate font.

The HOOPLE codebase is now available for downloading from the sourceforge mirrors. This release includes all code and bug fixes current up to July 4th 2006 from the original project site at http://hoople.org . In the near term, we anticipate updating all classes in HOOPLE with doxygen formatting to yield excellent automatically generated documentation. The current version of the docs is at http://hoople.org/hoople/docs/html/index.html . Future projects include more graphical apps based on HOOPLE and using the WxWidgets package for platform-independent presentation.
