ghc::filesystem Release v1.3.10

Sun, 27 Dec 2020 11:38:44 +0200

Today I released [v1.3.10](https://github.com/gulrak/filesystem/releases/tag/v1.3.10) of [`ghc::filesystem`](https://github.com/gulrak/filesystem), my implementation of C++17 [`std::filesystem`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/filesystem) for C++11, C++14 and C++17.

This Release small release fixes the missing constexpr of bitmask operations an issue where Source template parameters where not allowed to be used with std::string_view when using C++17.

I expect this to be the last v1.3.x release, as my focus is now getting the C++20 support done and releasing it with v1.4.0.

std::filesystem Implementation Corner Cases, part 2

Sat, 08 Feb 2020 23:30:19 +0100

A [question on StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60130796/return-value-of-stdfilesystemcreate-directories-on-paths-with-trailing-sla) was pointing at another corner case where the current implementations of std::filesystem differ, it is about the handling of a trailing directory seperator when calling `std::filesystem::create_directories()`.

ghc::filesystem Release v1.3.0

Sat, 08 Feb 2020 19:30:35 +0100

Today I released [v1.3.0](https://github.com/gulrak/filesystem/releases/tag/v1.3.0) of [`ghc::filesystem`](https://github.com/gulrak/filesystem), my implementation of C++17 [`std::filesystem`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/filesystem) for C++11, C++14 and C++17.

The main reasong for this release is the switch from BSD-3-Clause license to the MIT license.

I originally decided on BSD because of the detailed clauses it features, to make things clear, but it was not an easy decision at that time, but I had to pick one.

About a week ago I was asked if it would be possible to use MIT license and at first I was against a change, but I thought about it and decided a even ore liberal license would give more projects the chance to use it, so my only concern left was, if I would be able to reach all contributors and if they would agree to the license change.

I was amazed to see, all anserwed in just a few days and all agreed so they made the decision an easy one for me.

std::filesystem Implementation Corner Cases

Sun, 22 Dec 2019 13:24:31 +0100

On this years [Meeting C++](https://meetingcpp.com/2019/) I had the chance to talk with a lot of people and it was very inspirational. With some I talked about [ghc::filesystem](https://github.com/gulrak/filesystem), my implementation of a C++17 `std::filesystem` compatible library. Part of this discussions was about some corner cases I found during my tests, and I was trying to remember the details when I was having the chance to talk to [@NicoJosuttis](https://twitter.com/NicoJosuttis). He among others was interested in these issues, as they might be rooted in unclear passages of the standard.

ghc::filesystem Release v1.2.10

Sun, 24 Nov 2019 16:42:51 +0100

Today I released the bugfix release [v1.2.10](https://github.com/gulrak/filesystem/releases/tag/v1.2.10) of [`ghc::filesystem`](https://github.com/gulrak/filesystem), my implementation of C++17 [`std::filesystem`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/filesystem) for C++11, C++14 and C++17. There were some issues, all on the Windows part, so it was time to fix them with a release.

While at it, I updated the CI configuration files to add newer compilers and the set used for CI and tests is now:

macOS 10.12: Xcode 9.2 (clang-900.0.39.2), GCC 9.2, Clang 9.0, macOS 10.13: Xcode 10.1, macOS 10.14: Xcode 11.2
Windows: Visual Studio 2017, Visual Studio 2015, Visual Studio 2019, MinGW GCC 6.3 (Win32), GCC 7.2 (Win64)
Linux (Ubuntu): GCC (5.5, 6.5, 7.4, 8.3, 9.2), Clang (5.0, 6.0, 7.1, 8.0, 9.0)

ghc::filesystem Release v1.2.8

Fri, 15 Nov 2019 09:10:03 +0200

During these days I'm on the [Meeting C++ 2019](https://meetingcpp.com/2019/) and so far it is a great event. This morning before leaving my hotel, I used the inspirational spirit and released v1.2.8 of [`ghc::filesystem`](https://github.com/gulrak/filesystem). This is mostly a bugfix release, but there is a new CMake option to select wether or not an install target should be added to the build files.

Additionally, five pull requests found their way into this release, and I want to thank the supporters for their work.

ghc::filesystem Release v1.2.6

Sat, 21 Sep 2019 17:45:08 +0200

Today I released v1.2.6 of [`ghc::filesystem`](https://github.com/gulrak/filesystem). The main reason was an issue with `fs::path::preferred_seperator`. The previous implementation didn't compile on pre-C++17 compilers when the seperator was accessed. The Bugfix for [#27](https://github.com/gulrak/filesystem/issue/27), was a bit more work than expected, but now it works on all tested compilers.

Additionally, two pull requests found their way into this release, and I want to thank the supporters for their work.

Work on reLive Continued

Sun, 15 Sep 2019 01:36:38 +0200

With the initial release of a working prototype of a new reLive streaming client I started to work on reLive again. The first result is a curses based console application for macOS and Linux. It is still a bit rough around the edges, but it fetches all metadata, has a database backend and plays shows.

ghc::filesystem Release v1.2.4

Sun, 11 Aug 2019 10:21:07 +0200

Today I released v1.2.4 of [`ghc::filesystem`](https://github.com/gulrak/filesystem). It mainly contains a fix for issue [#22](https://github.com/gulrak/filesystem/pull/22), where `ghc::filesystem::copy()` wouldn't allways forward given `copy_options` to a `ghc::filesystem::copy_file()` call.

Moved to a new server again.

Sat, 10 Aug 2019 17:25:42 +0200

My previous server, based on Intel’s 8-Core-Atom C2750, was handling my mails, domains and repositories for about five years. Most of the time, I was quite happy with the system, but still, time passes and hardware ages fast. When last month the system dropped offline and was unreachable even through the remote serial connection, I was kind of shocked even with a relativly recent backup.

I called my hosting provider IONOS, and they where kind enough to find the issue (a dead mainboard) and replace the system, keeping my RAID1 HDDs, and getting everything up and running again in about an hour, and that on a sunday night. So thank you to all the unnamed service technicians that where involved in this!

Projects

Sat, 10 Aug 2019 14:20:52 +0200

In my spare time, I like to code for fun, for trying out new stuff to learn new things and sometimes to solve a problem I have. Most of the projects will never reach the public, but sometimes, the result is usefull for others. Information on these can be found here: ghc::filesystem on GitHub An implementation of std::filesystem from C++17, based on features of C++11, so usable for any at least C++11 compatible compiler on Linux, macOS and Windows.

ghc::filesystem Release v1.2.2

Sun, 23 Jun 2019 16:50:38 +0200

Today I released a bugfix version of [`ghc::filesystem`](https://github.com/gulrak/filesystem). It only contains a fix for issue [#21](https://github.com/gulrak/filesystem/pull/21), where compiling on Alpine Linux with `musl` instead of `glibc` chooses the wrong `strerror_r` signature.

The musl headers sadly don’t conform to the preprocessor expression of the linux man file (_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600) && ! _GNU_SOURCE for strerror_r, so there was no well defined preprocessor way of solving this.

Revision 2019 - Party Fazit

Tue, 23 Apr 2019 22:15:20 +0200

Nun sind wir zurück von der Revision 2019 und auch wenn der Abbau etwas stressiger, und ich nicht immer ganz fit war: Die Party war großartig und die Produktionen haben mich wieder begeistert! Jedes Jahr bin ich überrascht, wie schnell die vier Party-Tage vorbeirasen. Ja, eine Infodesk-Schicht im Morgengrauen kann etwas weniger rasant sein, aber wenn es Montag ist geht alles so schnell, und eh man sich versieht ist die Halle von den Scenern geräumt, und wartet auf Abbau und durchfegen.
