It's been a while since I posted anything here, so I think it's better to just leave a pinned tweet. I might still post some important announcements, but if you want to follow me, do so at @[email protected] (or just blog.joaocosta.eu/) where I share all my updates.

Here's RokRok, a Gopher Client written in Scala: github.com/JD557/rokrok This is mostly a toy project to try out Minart + InterIm + Scala Native's multithreading, so don't expect too much. I do plan to work on it a bit more, as it is a nice way to test InterIm features.

Just released InterIm 0.2.0, with Scala Native 0.5 support, implicit component layouts and some critical bug fixes. github.com/JD557/interim/rel… I'll try to update Spaeti and *finally* release my Gopher client demo using this version soon. 🙂

Release v0.2.0 · JD557/interim

This release of InterIm drops support for Scala Native 0.4 in favor of 0.5. Also, everything is delayed by 1 frame in order to avoid some nasty issues. See #72 for more context. This release adds t...

Finally released the final version of Minart 0.6.0: github.com/JD557/minart/rele… This version drops Scala 2 support and updates Scala Native to 0.5. The Minart Pure module was also removed. This version has been in the oven for a while, so it includes a ton of bug fixes since 0.5.3.

Release v0.6.0 · JD557/minart

This is the first release of the 0.6 series of Minart. As of 0.6.0, support for Scala 2.11, 2.12 and 2.13 was removed, along with the Minart Pure library (blog post with rationale). This version al...

Just released Minart 0.6.0-M3 with Scala Native 0.5.0 support. github.com/JD557/minart/rele… This version might be (even) more unstable than usual, but I wanted to get it out ASAP to find as many bugs as possible before the proper 0.6.0 release.

Release v0.6.0-M3 · JD557/minart

This is the third (hopefully final) milestone release of the 0.6.0 version of Minart. As of 0.6.0, support for Scala 2.11, 2.12 and 2.13 was removed, along with the Minart Pure library (blog post w...
