Go, go go !

Hi folks,

Since quite a time I did not update the small DeviceAtlas Cloud C API, thus this week I have made a basic Go(lang) wrapper. I learnt quite a lot about the Go's internal in the process and how Go and C/C++ interacts back and forth. In first place, I did mainly for the language's popularity while I admit I have underestimated its inner qualities so I kinda appreciate more or less finally ...

Ah, this week as well, finally jack1 has merged upstream after couple of months the OpenBSD's patches from some OpenBSD's devs, hopefully will lead to further new release. Indeed as jack1 is made in C, it is still far ahead in term of use compared to its little sibling jack2. Fingers crossed !

Further updates

Hi folks,

Since the last time, some tiny updates. Indeed, I recently discovered a promising new web server, called h2o very light, has a different approach than Apache and Nginx (i.e. it is mainly a shared library so it is possible to make an application on top of it ;  of course one is provided). So I modestly contributed to it, fixing few memory leaks (for the just released 2.0.1) + using arc4random wherever it is possible (for future 2.1.0 version).

Warzone2100 will benefit in the near future a couple of fixes. "Odd" feeling having played this in ~2000 when it was closed source and fixing issue now :-)

In a lighter note, DeviceAtlas Cloud C got a new release, a lot of changes since the last time in the meantime, new cache provider, new language wrappers and so on ;-)

This is all .. for now still has other things ongoing ;-)
