SpecProbe v3.8.1 will provide initial support for FreeBSD!

When SpecProbe was first released, we have always supported Linux, macOS, and Windows systems to help application developers more effortlessly build applications that rely on platform-specific code paths or parse hardware information.

The next version of SpecProbe will provide initial support for FreeBSD systems, which is a major milestone, given that FreeBSD wasn’t one of our supported platforms during the lifetime of our projects.

Currently, development of v3.8.1 is progressing with the addition of FreeBSD support for software and for native library loading functions. However, hardware parsing is work in progress for FreeBSD systems.

When we release this version of SpecProbe, we’ll let you know. To learn more, read this newsroom article:

Going back in time: How Terminaux was born

Terminaux is a console tools library that allows you to write colorful text to the console, manipulate with the terminal, and make your console applications more powerful. With awesome features that this library provides, you can create an interactive textual user interface (TUI) application using .NET as the framework, and is the first C# console library that supports mouse events!

As Terminaux is one of our most successful projects, here’s the timeline of how Terminaux was born.

• May 15th, 2022

  ReadLine.Reboot was announced as an extension to the original ReadLine library by Toni-Solarin Sodara.

• June 1st, 2022

  ReadLine.Reboot was released publicly to NuGet, allowing developers to try it out in their projects.

• June 7th, 2022

  ReadLine.Reboot was compared against the original ReadLine library, alongside with Latency’s fork.

• August 10th, 2022

  ColorSeq was released for the first time to bring 256 colors and true colors support to the console. In the same day, VT.NET was released as a library that helps you generate VT sequences for console applications, such as colors, text formatting, and more.

• October 22nd, 2022

  ReadLine.Reboot‘s development was declared as abandoned due to the bad structure of the base library.

• January 2nd, 2023

  TermRead was released as a replacement to the whole ReadLine suite to fix problems that those libraries suffered from.

• March 12th, 2023

  ColorPrint was released to provide console applications with a simple “color wheel” textual user interface.

• July 28th, 2023

  Terminaux was announced as a replacement and a fusion of all the above libraries that were released, but there was no release yet, but the first version was scheduled for April 10th, 2023. Then, the explanation of our migration plan was released in the same day.

• August 6th, 2023

  Terminaux’s first public version was released to NuGet!

Since then, more versions of Terminaux were released to add features, fix bugs, and perform other changes to the library in a way that performance and general improvements are being put into consideration. Our applications that work in the console, such as Nitrocid, have used Terminaux to power their interactive user interface.

For more information about Terminaux’s journey from 1.0 to 6.0, along with 7.0 that was under development at the time of the post, you can read the below article:

Terminaux 8.2 is now available!

We have earlier announced the release schedule for long-term support versions of Terminaux, and this step was taken to ensure that new features arrive slowly to build the next-generation versions more reliably.

As part of the plan to support long-term releases of Terminaux for five years, we’ve released Terminaux 8.2, which is a small feature release that provides you several features to make it easier for you to build Terminaux applications.

• QR Code Writer: Terminaux now provides you with a simple console writer that prints a QR code for you to scan with your phone or any other QR code scanner.
• Micro QR Code Writer: Terminaux also provides a renderer that prints a Micro QR code for very small strings, though scanning them is less common.

This version of Terminaux also finishes the migration of the color tools to Colorimetry, which has become a separate library as we wanted to expand this functionality to more than just console applications. GUI apps, web apps, mobile apps, and other apps can now use Terminaux’s powerful color system using Colorimetry.

Terminaux 8.2 is now available!

Terminaux 8.2 is coming soon

We have earlier announced the release schedule for long-term support versions of Terminaux, and this step was taken to ensure that new features arrive slowly to build the next-generation versions more reliably.

Terminaux 8.2 is a small feature release that will provide you several features to make it easier for you to build Terminaux applications. This version will add the following features:

• QR Code Writer: Terminaux now provides you with a simple console writer that prints a QR code for you to scan with your phone or any other QR code scanner.
• Micro QR Code Writer: Terminaux also provides a renderer that prints a Micro QR code for very small strings, though scanning them is less common.

GUI apps, web apps, mobile apps, and other apps can now use Terminaux’s powerful color system using Colorimetry.

For developers, the new Aptivi Development Toolkit (ADT) is used instead of the older shell-based scripts. This aligns with our plan for rolling it out to the remaining projects in the coming days.

Terminaux 8.2 will be released later this March, and Nitrocid will be updated accordingly, before the beginning of April.

Terminaux 8.2 is coming soon!

Stay tuned for the release on GitHub and on NuGet!
