The release of the anonymous network I2P 2.11.0 and the C++ client i2pd 2.59.0 has been announced. I2P is a multilayered anonymous distributed network that operates on top of the regular internet, actively utilizing end-to-end encryption to guarantee anonymity and isolation. The network operates in a P2P mode and is built from the resources (bandwidth) provided by network users, allowing it to operate without centralized managed servers (communications within the network […]
The release of project D7VK 1.3 has been published, which develops the implementation of graphics APIs Direct3D 5, 6, and 7 proposed by Microsoft in 1997, 1998, and 1999. D7VK operates through the translation of calls to the Vulkan API and allows retro games tied to Direct3D 5, 6, and 7 to run on Linux using Wine. The project's code is written in C++ […]
After the stable release of Linux 6.19, Linus Torvalds, as usual, made an announcement about the release.

For compilers GCC >= 11, Clang >= 16, and IntelLLVM, C++17 is used by default. The library supports several input-output backends (CMake parameter TGUI_BACKEND): SFML_GRAPHICS – sfml-graphics SFML_OPENGL3 – sfml-window + OpenGL + […]
On February 2, the release of the distributed version control system Git 2.53 was announced. Git is known for its high performance and provides tools for nonlinear development, based on branching and merging. To ensure the integrity of history and resilience to 'backdating' changes, implicit hashing of all previous history in each commit is used, along with digital signatures by developers for individual tags and commits. […]
After two months of development, Linus Torvalds presented the release of Linux kernel 6.19.
