FZap

I think FZap is getting close to being “feature complete” for what I wanted out of it initially. I’ll do my best to get FZap cleaned up and into a releasable state as I do think it’s neat.

My current focus is on getting a few commands setup for using tmux as I think they’re useful and make good examples.

Taylor

mruby Upgrade

I had a crack at getting mruby upgraded to 4.0.0 for Taylor but hit some pretty major roadblocks. I think the biggest one is that mruby-require is having a lot of issues building due to a big shift in how mgems work. This is going to be a very challenging upgrade I suspect.

Release v0.4.2

I had someone actually raise an issue for Taylor again! It always makes me feel really good and that this project is worthwhile when I found out people I have never met are using it. It turns out all the issues they were reporting I had actually fixed and they were just sitting on main as I have been a bit lazy about doing a release.

I spent some time on Wednesday night getting the release out and hit a strange issue with the OSX release that wouldn’t compile. It was a very strange fix, I had to run rake -r pathname because it wasn’t loaded for some reason.

The actual changelog is pretty small, if you’re curious you can check the release out on the Taylor blog

It’s time to talk about my writerdeck: I’ve been tempted to do a terminal only machine as I think it’d be an interesting experience.
