As for curator requests, you may send us a curator request and we will review the game or software on our curator. When you send us a curator request, please specify where the source code is for the game or software. If we there is no source code for the game or software, or we cannot find a source code, then the curator will be declined. Games and software must be 100% open-source to be accepted.

You may view the List of software that we support in the discussion thread of this group.

To see a list of open-source websites, such as search engines, email services, and hosting services, please view our List of websites thread.

To see a list of open-source hardware, which can be anything from computers to house hold appliances, please view our List of hardware section.

As a alternative, you may also view a list of Open-source licenses that you may use if you wish to build your own open-source program.

To view other organizations that help expand open-source software and hardware, please view our List of communities

If you have any software, website, or hardware suggestions, or you would like to request a nomination for project of the month, feel free to post about it. Please keep it open-source only.

Godot 4.0.2

17 aprile 2023 - J12_Such_WoW | 2 commenti

Ah yes, Godot 4, an update which everyone else was quick on the bandwagon about, but not me!
I, my dear readers (I sound really professional there don't I?), decided to wait until there been a few patches first because everybody knows bugfixes are more exciting than such silly things as:

The new Vulkan renderer that you can use instead of OpenGL,
Highly Improved Lighting & Shadows (e.g. Signed Distance Field Global Illumination and VoxelGI),
New Rendering Optimization Techniques (e.g. automatic occlusion culling and automatic mesh LOD),
Enhanced Mid & Post-Processing (e.g. Screen Space Indirect Lighting),
Powerful New 2D Level-Editing Tools (e.g. brand new tilemap editor, new terrain auto-tiling system, etc),
New 2D Rendering Options (e.g. canvas groups, MSAA, etc),
Improved 2D Lighting & Shadows (e.g. 2D directional lights and shadows, etc),
New Atmospheric Effects (e.g. volumetric fog, dynamic skies, etc),
Improved Textures & Material Projection (e.g. decals),
Enhanced Shader-Game World Interaction (e.g. collision, trails, sub-emitters and manual emission, etc),
Improved Shader Editor,
Extended Shader Language (e.g. support for uniform arrays and fragment-to-light varyings, as well as new syntax features, such as structs, preprocessor macros and shader includes),
Support for Compute Shaders

And uh... well, quite a few other things because I haven't gone through the scripting segment of the official Godot announcement[godotengine.org] which starts before you're half way through the blog.
Oh, and here are the changes in 4.0.1[godotengine.org] and 4.0.2[godotengine.org]

If you'd like to listen and see all the changes in Godot 4 instead, here's a New features in slightly less than 30 minutes! (not the official title)

Anyway, source code is over here (Github)[github.com], official website over here[godotengine.org] of which both places you can download Godot binaries from if you do so wish.

Media Player Classic 2.0.0

6 febbraio 2023 - J12_Such_WoW | 0 commenti

Ah, 'Media Player Classic - Home Cinema' or mpc-hc as it has the tendency to be referred to as due to it's rather long name, not that there's anything wrong with that.
Before you come in here with the expectation that mpc-hc is going to be completely different from when you last saw it, you can rest easy as it's more of a release to symbolise the 2000 days or 5.5 years since the current maintainer saved the project from certain death (lets not beat around the bush about that), but regardless the update comes with some much appreciated fixes and improvements, such as

Updated LAV Filters to version 0.77.1-1-g6f78a
Updated MediaInfo DLL to version 22.12
When A-B repeat is active, HOME button now seeks to A position instead of beginning
Add support for new LayoutResX/Y ASS subtitle header.
Correctly apply scaling to blur tag in ASS subtitles.
Some improvements to the FreeType fallback path for font rendering. Fixes rare issue of missing text with certain complex fonts that fail with GDI.
Added new advanced option MouseLeftUpDelay. This delays the left click action on the video area in anticipation of a double-click. Can be used to prevent unwanted pausing when toggling fullscreen. Suggested value is 250ms. Disabled by default.
Fixed a decoding issue with certain TrueHD audio streams
Filename was wrong when saving downloaded subtitle when moving to next file in folder/playlist
Fixed style issue with embedded WebVTT
Fixed hang in SaveThumbnails on seek failure with an incomplete file
Fixed issue with seekbar safezone in the case that video area is hidden

You can read official release page over here (on Github)[github.com]

You can find the sourcecode over here at Github[github.com], download it from the 'Releases' page at Github[github.com] or even take a look at the original mpc-hc's source code, also at Github[github.com]
