Up to Main Index Up to Journal for October, 2014 JOURNAL FOR FRIDAY 31ST OCTOBER, 2014 ______________________________________________________________________________ SUBJECT: Happy Halloween! Go 1.4 beta 1 out DATE: Fri 31 Oct 21:26:02 GMT 2014 Last week I didn't make a journal entry. This does not imply I wasn't coding though! I was working on WolfMUD. In fact I was hoping to finish up the player refactoring so that I could push out a Halloween update. Unfortunately things went awry[1]. I'm not sure how but somehow I had made a commit in git - about half a dozen commits before the current HEAD - that wouldn't compile. Now a lot of people would say it's not a problem and just carry on. While not a problem it can cause issues later on. For example a non compiling commit can wreak havoc if you are using git's bisect feature to try and track down a bug. Reworking the commit and fixing it then rebasing the following commits which also now needed some work took quite a bit of time. So sadly no new WolfMUD changes for Halloween this year :( Instead, if you go over to the current Go 'tip' website[2] the first beta for Go 1.4 is out for download and testing. Not had a chance to look at it yet, maybe this weekend? Time to get out the pumpkin again! __ /// / __ __ \ \/ __ \/ _ \/ _ \\/\/\// \ \/\/\/ / HAPPY HALLOWEEN -- Diddymus [1] A curious word.
