RandFill · 
Sorted in alphabetical order.
One of the drawbacks of using such a comprehensive framework as Qt is the massively increased size of you program.
When my pet project RandFill was only using the plain Win32-API, it was a single executable file of a couple of hundred kilobytes.
Now, using dynamically linked Qt, the whole package (with DLLs, MSVC redistributables, etc.) is bigger than 20 megabytes as a 64-bit build!
Konnichiwa!
Konnichiwa again, picking up the loose threads from the last instance.
Konnichiwa, time for another status report.
Greetings! After a long while, some status updates again…
So, it’s been quite a while since the last post of this sort, and I did slow down on the projects mentioned
there for some time, but…
I’ve changed the build process of the RandFill project recently
from using the Visual Studio files (*.sln, *.vcxproj, etc.) to maintaining and generating those with CMake.
While I was running the old-but-still-officially-current version 1.1.0 of RandFill recently (to analyze
a change between that version and the 1.2.x branch), I stumbled upon a strange behaviour:
No functional changes yet, but it comes now with a proper installer instead of just an executable in
a zip file (for this tool and at this stage not really necessary, but it will come handy in the future).
While looking through the files of that tool for the first time in years and comparing it with my old homepage,
I realized that I’ve forgotten to publish the latest version (not really surprising, since it’s only a small utility,
only used by me and put on the internet just for the sake of completeness and delusions of grandeur).
Finally, a new release of my pet project is done: RandFill 1.2.0 is here!
New minor release of RandFill.
The project is now open source (published under the terms of the MIT license)
and available on BitBucket.org.
I’m currently migrating RandFill from plain Win32 code to a mix of Win32 and Qt 5 code (mainly the GUI parts, at the moment);
and the size comparison between these two versions is sobering.
While I’m (slowly) continuing to convert RandFill from Win32 to Qt,
I’ve added the icon of the logo to the main window and the executable today.
