Trollop 1.15 released
I’ve just released Trollop 1.15, which fixes an irritating misfeature pointed out by Rafael Sevilla: when Trollop runs out of characters when it’s generating short option names, e.g. when you have a lot of options, it shouldn’t throw an exception and die. It should just continue peacefully.
Trollop’s reign of domination continues!
git wtf bf06ab7 released
I’ve released git-wtf version bf06ab7. The highlight of this release is colorized output. ANSI escape sequences are the future of the web.
Also, the feature / integration branch comparisons is now only displayed when
-r is supplied.
Check out the git-wtf home page for an example of the fancy colorization, or just download it now.
Ritex 0.3 released
I’ve released Ritex 0.3. No API or functionality changes; this is just a set of miscellaneous tweaks that make Ritex work on Ruby 1.9.
Whisper 0.5 released
I’ve released Whisper version 0.5. Lots of good stuff since 0.3 (I didn’t announce 0.4 because it was a minor bugfix release):
- Nested comments are now properly supported.
- New <pre> and <poem> blocks added.
- A new
whisper-process-emailcommand for manually reprocessing email. You can also offload all email processing to this program instead of the main Whisper server, if you like. - New dependency for the 0.2 version of RiTeX, which has equation array support (see announcement for details).
- Better mbox-splitting code, now that I’ve figured out how to do this properly in Sup.
- RiTeX macros now properly persist throughout an entry.
- Many other minor bugfixes: attribution lines in emails, various incorrect bits of HTML output, escaping of Ritex error messages, etc.
Try it now!
sudo gem install whisper --source http://masanjin.net/whisper-init <blog directory>- Follow the instructions.
git-wtf 58b87fe9 released
I’ve released version 58b87fe9 of git-wtf, available here: http://git-wt-commit.rubyforge.org/git-wtf
This version contains a fairly major change: branches on origin are treated as
equal to local branches, and branches that are remote-only are denoted with {
}. So now there are three possible symbols: ( ) for local-only, { } for
remote-only, and [ ] for branches that appear on both origin and your local
repo.
The motivation was dealing with the fact that Sup has very many feature branches going at once, but I work on it on several different computers and typically only have a subset of them checked out. I didn’t want anyone to be left out….
I also fixed a few minor things like removing the restriction that version branches be local branches.
Ritex 0.2 released
It’s been almost four years since the previous release, so I’m happy to announce that Ritex 0.2 has been released today. This version features many bugfixes an improvements, most notably:
- Array options are now supported. (Necessary to get
the
eqnarray-style equation alignment in this post.) - Unary minus heuristics are much improved.
Here’s a quick demo of the unary minus:
-x |
|
x-x |
|
x--x |
|
\alpha-x |
|
\alpha\,-x |
Sadly, just as with LaTeX itself, there are still times where you have to hint to get the right behavior:
\sin-x |
|
\sin{-x} |
Over the years since the last release it looks like there are two new options for generating MathML in Ruby. Itex2MML has developed Ruby bindings, and there’s some other project just called MathML. The big win for Ritex over these packages, of course, is macro support:
\define{\onion}{\hat{\theta}} |
- |
\define{\potato}[1]{E_\theta[#1]} |
- |
\potato{\onion} |
A quick gem install ritex should get it for you, and you can see
some more example input/output pairs here.
Sup 0.7 released
Sup 0.7 has been released.
You can read the announcement here
The big win in this release is that Ferret index corruption issues should now be fixed, thanks to an extensive programming of locking and thread-safety-adding.
The other nice change is that text entry will now scroll to the right upon overflow, thanks to some arcane Curses magic.
Trollop 1.13 released
I’ve released Trollop 1.13. This is a minor bugfix release. Arguments
given with =’s and with spaces in the values are now parsed correctly.
(E.g. --name="your mom".)
Get it with a quick gem install trollop.
Whisper 0.3 released
I’ve released Whisper 0.3. This is mostly a bugfix release, with generally better email support, including support for MIME multipart email.
How to do it:
sudo gem install whisper --source http://masanjin.net/whisper-init <blog directory>- Follow the instructions!
git-wtf dd706855 released
I’ve released a version dd706855 of git-wtf, available here: http://git-wt-commit.rubyforge.org/git-wtf
I’ve tweaked the output format so that branches that don’t exist
on the remote server are displayed with ()‘s and those that do
with []’s, and ~ is the new symbol for a merge that only occurs
on the local side.
I think this produces a better display; lots more information per line of ourput.
I’ve also added a couple random options which you can discover by reading the source. :)
The big next step I’d like to take with this thing is to support multiple remote repos better. Currently it’s kinda specific to your origin repo.
