We are aware of an issue where One UI 6.1 and above has introduced a bug that causes PulseAudio to be unable to find "libskcodec.so". We'll update our project docs accordingly.

We are updating the support periods for Terminaux and BassBoom.

BassBoom and Terminaux support updates

We are thrilled to announce that BassBoom and Terminaux support periods have been updated to reflect the latest planned changes. Those changes are currently internal when it comes to extensive details, and may change at any time based on internal reviews. We know that software development can sometimes introduce unexpected challenges at some point, so we’ve made this decision in regards to future support periods for BassBoom and Terminaux.

Starting from the next generation of BassBoom, which we’ll talk about in detail as we’re getting closer to release, and Terminaux 7.0, we’ll follow the below support schedule:

• Every two major versions of BassBoom in the 1.x series will receive long term support of up to five years. In between those versions a version series that will get one year of support.
• The same can be described in Terminaux version 7.0 or higher, except that support is focused upon the major version series and odd/even numbering. For example, Terminaux version 8.0 gets five years of support, while 7.0 gets one year of support.

BassBoom 0.2.x series will continue getting support until the next-gen version gets released under a different library, at which both libraries will be promoted to the 1.x version series. As a result, we’re dropping the September 16th date and making the support run indefinitely until we’re ready to release the new BassBoom. While we can’t reveal the release date of the final version of the new BassBoom, we are making sure that everything goes according to plan.

The documentation will be updated soon to adjust to this change.

Making Projects Better

Making our projects better than before is one of our most important things that we have planned to do. We have improved the build system across all projects by introducing the tools repository on GitHub that is used as a submodule. Our strategy for this plan is to make sure that all our projects get the highest quality possible, while aiming for more.

Announcements for new release of our flagship projects will be made every major version or a version that is worth talking about. Not only updates will be done, but projects that are new to the programming industry will be made to allow developers to have more options according to the program.

Recently, we have started improving the documentation of the Terminaux project for the upcoming release. We have currently restructured the cyclic writer documentation so that a single page is split to multiple pages by category. This helps find information more quickly.

In the second half of the year, we are planning to introduce changes to our work plans so that we’d be more open. Confirmed additions, improvements, and other updates will be added to every repository’s GitHub Projects, straight from the internal information. This is to let the users know of the roadmap of all our projects in a more transparent manner.

After the release of the upcoming Nitrocid version series, we’ll make sure that other projects get their own development time as we are striving to improve them with new features and other general improvements. Because the upcoming version of Nitrocid is currently in a stage where it needs to be adjusted for the next Terminaux version, a beta program will be introduced. This is to gain feedback from developers and users, and we listen to all feedback!

Making sure that we fulfill our promises to you, we’ll keep you informed of any new updates regarding our projects. Meanwhile, normal development for all projects will start on April 6th, and we hope that we introduce you to new, exciting features. Are you ready for the most exciting moments?

For just one week, we will pause development of all projects. After that, we'll resume normal development.

Update for Further Development

This month, it was a massive month for us when it comes to the build system and Terminaux. The build system witnessed many improvements across different areas, including, but not limited to:

• Introduction of the tools repository that any project (of course, not just C# projects, but non-C# ones, such as Node.js and Rust projects) can use.
• The build system actually uses the vendor scripts found under the vnd directory, which increases flexibility.
• All projects, such as Nitrocid, BassBoom, and Terminaux, now use the tools repository as a submodule instead of the project-specific build scripts.

In addition to that, we are proud to release the above repository with full documentation about how to adapt your project so that it uses this minimal and extensible build system. Then, we have actually started working on the upcoming version of Terminaux, which we will release when we feel that it’s ready for public use.

Now, we are announcing an important change to our plans for the next week. We will pause development of all projects for one week starting from March 30th as we are evaluating our plans for the coming weeks to make sure that we fulfill our promise to you. After one week, we will resume development of all projects, but we will employ different strategies to ensure high quality.

The blog will still get new articles, but we will resume normal project announcements after the one-week brownout. This way, we’ll make sure that we provide continuous updates regarding all our projects.

We apologize for unusable design in BassBoom 0.1.12 and 0.2.7. Everything should work perfectly.

We've made installing BassBoom easier than never before!
