Feeling the power of the dragon again...

 Hi folks,


Hope you are all fine.

Couple of little updates ... For the FreeBSD fans, the 13.2 release is in within reach, about 1 month from now. Speaking of BSD, the next AsiaBSDCon in Japan would be the next major event, but there is the non less popular BSDCan as well not too long after. But if you dream to have a warm autumn for few days, there is the EuroBSDCon in Portugal ðŸŒž

As for me, I spent more time in PHP, more code and doc reviews than my own code now ; some worthy new comers are pretty active 🙂 .. Nothing too new in the other hand, still doing a bit of rust here and there, couple of video games directly or indirectly related (e.g. SDL). Botan ... where I participate at modernising the codebase towards C++20 with new nice heuristics (e.g. std::span). Still, I did not lose my interest to memory allocators, my preferred remains now snmalloc, but isoalloc as a secure oriented one and with a smart yet readable api has its own qualities.

Next major release to wait is the 16th of LLVM with among many other things a better C++20 support via libc++ (it was lagging in many areas compared to g++), so hopefully you ll be overwhelmed by the famous dragon again 😉. 



It is to be expected sometime in March as well.


In the meantime, I wish you well.
