Version 1.31

Bug Fix Release

• Path resolution is now fixed and uses the right path separator for the correct operating system
  • The path separator '/' was hardcoded into the program, which is fine for Unix systems but caused problems on Windows because the path separator is '\' instead
• Windows binary is now correctly up-to-date
• See the v1.3 changelog for what's new in v1.3

Version 1.3

Changes in This Release

User Facing

• Command line options
  • In addition to configuring with config.conf you can now supply all args through command line switches
• Screensaver mode
  • Application starts in fullscreen
  • Mouse is hidden
  • Application exits when the mouse is moved or there is keyboard activity
  • Can be enabled using --screensaver or using the config file
• Config files
  • You can now specify different config files using the command line switch -c [path] or --config [path]
• Fixed file loading
  • Now actually relative to the binary instead of relative to the working directory

Code

• The project now has a new library: CXXOPTS
• Added a little more documentation
• New things of interest: DVD::Config::parseCommandLine(char*), DVD::Config::getRelative(std::string)
• Note: CXXOPTS likes to initialize missing command line parameters to "" so this gets dealt with inside DVD::Config::readConfig(), however and exception is made for TITLE because the user could actually enter the empty string. This is dealt with in DVD::Config::parseCommandLine().

Upcoming

• More bug fixes
• Windows screensaver?
• Android version?

Version 1.2

Changes this release:

User Facing

• Config file
  • Many things that were set at compile time can now be configured through the config
• Logo can now go backwards (lmao)
  • Speed was previously capped to be >=0 but I have removed this limitation
• Corners and edges are no longer counted when the speed is zero (#5 )

Code

• Fixed issue #4
  • The logo now resizes when toggling fullscreen and the position is reset
  • This in particular was an issue on Windows
• Better OOP and file management #8
  • The code is now organized to make better use of OOP and is split across multiple files, this is a major improvement over the monolithic code base up till this point

Upcoming in the next release

• Command line switches / parameters
• Application icon
• Change the way the window is sized on open
• See the issues tab for more

Version 1.1

• The window now sizes based on the size of the screen
• The logo resizes dynamically based on the size of the window
• You can change the speed and size of the logo using the arrowkeys
• Documentation!

Version 1.0

Initial release, there's still work to be done regarding sizing of the window and such, however it works as-is.

Notes:

• Both releases are x64, you will need to compile for your architecture if it differs
• I have only provided releases for Windows and Linux; you will need to compile it yourself if you use a Mac
• Windows users: If you get a message like Missing VCRuntime140.dll then you need to install the Microsoft C++ Redistributable
