During these days I’m on the Meeting C++ 2019 and so far it is a great event. This morning before leaving my hotel, I used the inspirational spirit and released v1.2.8 of ghc::filesystem . This is mostly a bugfix release, but there is a new CMake option to select wether or not an install target should be added to the build files.

Additionally, five pull requests found their way into this release, and I want to thank the supporters for their work.

Today I released v1.2.6 of ghc::filesystem . The main reason was an issue with fs::path::preferred_seperator. The previous implementation didn’t compile on pre-C++17 compilers when the seperator was accessed. The Bugfix for #27 , was a bit more work than expected, but now it works on all tested compilers.

Additionally, two pull requests found their way into this release, and I want to thank the supporters for their work.

With the initial release of a working prototype of a new reLive streaming client I started to work on reLive again. The first result is a curses based console application for macOS and Linux. It is still a bit rough around the edges, but it fetches all metadata, has a database backend and plays shows.

Today I released v1.2.4 of ghc::filesystem . It mainly contains a fix for issue #22 , where ghc::filesystem::copy() wouldn’t allways forward given copy_options to a ghc::filesystem::copy_file() call.

My previous server, based on Intel’s 8-Core-Atom C2750, was handling my mails, domains and repositories for about five years. Most of the time, I was quite happy with the system, but still, time passes and hardware ages fast. When last month the system dropped offline and was unreachable even through the remote serial connection, I was kind of shocked even with a relativly recent backup.

I called my hosting provider IONOS, and they where kind enough to find the issue (a dead mainboard) and replace the system, keeping my RAID1 HDDs, and getting everything up and running again in about an hour, and that on a sunday night. So thank you to all the unnamed service technicians that where involved in this!
