I seems @bocops and I have found a new name for the current #BigBone project: It's "yuki", that's it. It's Japanese and means "snow". I like the name because it is short, easy to remember. Furthermore, our library originates from the #mastodon4j project, whose author is also japanese.

So far I have not found any negative interpretation of this word.

It's done: I have created release notes for all #BigBone snapshots published since I have started to work on a detached fork of #Mastodon4J. I will continue to do so for all coming releases.

BigBone - A Mastodon Client Library for Java and Kotlin - andregasser/bigbone

A new #BigBone snapshot was pushed this morning. There was an integer overflow issue reported by a #Mastodon4J user.

Probably caused by some fake / spam accounts, but still, the library should be able to parse this data.

I have just opened a new issue in #BigBone for an integer overflow that someone seems to be experiencing with #Mastodon4J. It seems to happen, when account information is parsed (follower count, status count, etc...).

That's interesting. These fields are currently typed as Int, whereas Int has a max value of 2'147'483'647.

Can anyone provide me a link to an account with such a high number of followers or accounts?

@jitterted @KevinWorkman Hi all! Thanks for mentioning our fork. So far, we have mostly been working on putting the existing code on an up-to-date basis, e.g. updating the build system, dependencies, and such. Also, we have fixed several bugs already that have been present in the code (some of them have also been reported in #Mastodon4J). Furthermore, a lot of code was restructured to simplify the API. For the coming releases, we plan to extend the Mastodon API coverage. https://github.com/andregasser/bigbone/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aclosed

Btw: Kudos to @factotum who was so kind to fix one of the issues that caused some headaches for some former #Mastodon4J library users in the past. Should be working well in #Bigbone now. https://github.com/andregasser/bigbone/issues/25
