News

2024-11-10 | Version 1.0.9 is here ! There is a step forward...

Hi,

I am very aware that it has been a few months already since I last made an update.
Thankfully, I come with encouraging news.

Current state

With the precious help from a friend, we managed to find and fix one of the causes of the crash happening on Wayland sessions after screen selection.

Unfortunately, there are still some spooky instabilities on some distros. It seems that Huenicorn still struggles to run properly on Fedora-based distros.

I am sorry for the inconvenience. Be sure that I won't leave this aside. Also, other things need to keep going.

Want to help ?

If anyone would like to lend a helpful hand to fix this bug, your support would be greatly appreciated.

The code sample to get immediately started is available here:

Related information are detailed in the ReadMe.

Any new observation about distro, compiler, or build preset are welcome !

Some insight

I have been really busy/overwhelmed lately with a lot of external/unrelated things and events.

I really want to get back on the saddle and move forward with Huenicorn. There are tons of features you suggested, I also have a lot of ideas to improve Huenicorn.
For sure, I must admit that this bug represents a significant concern that paused me for a while. Wrongfully, I thought that it would be unreasonable to implement new features while such a problem remains.

Now, I understand that the best thing to do from here is to keep going with the improvements that can be done. Hopefully gathering strength back to finally get rid of this bug once and for all.

Again, thank you very much for your patience and understanding
