This hotfix is larger than some of the previous fixes, including a fix for the TravisCI build errors.

A single hotfix has been released on Sunday (11/05/17). This hotfix was released to reolve an issue when the Travis CI system ran any homebrew operation, which was fixed simply by updating homebrew on maxOS builds.

So we had another minor build error with the Travis CI service.

A single hotfix has been released on Wednesday (8/30/17). This hotfix was released to reolve an issue when the Travis CI system ran the apt-get operation, which it does not appear we have much control over at this time. The exact error reads: The command "sudo -E apt-get -yq --no-install-suggests --no-install-recommends --force-yes install clang-5.0" failed and exited with 100 during .

OpenRPG is looking for additional core developers join the team to accelerate our development!

OpenRPG is Free Open Source Software (FOSS). What is FOSS you may ask?

FOSS programs are those that have licenses that allow users to freely run the program for any purpose, modify the program as they want, and also to freely distribute copies of either the original version or their own modified version. If you would like to read the ORPG license (Identical to the Boost license) follow this link!

If you don’t know what we do here at OpenRPG checkout out our first blog post here.

OpenRPG is still in its infancy and I want it to do a lot by v1.0.0! What OpenRPG aims to accomplish two fold.

First, it will be a tool for someone to use to quickly create content for a tabletop RPG world. v1.0.0 will focus specifically on the 5e rules, however I hope to have that expand out to include Pathfinder and as far back as AD&D.

Secondly, OpenRPG should be structured in such a way that game developers that want to emulate the d20 system in a video game could easily implement our libraries in their games to help speed production of back end tools.

So how can I help?

So we had some minor build errors with the Travis CI service we use for continuous integration (CI) and cloud testing. Continuous integration and cloud testing is incredibly important in current software development, so fixing these build issues are vital to us at OpenRPG. What cloud testing with Travis CI allows us to do is test OpenRPG in enviroments we normally wouldn't have the opprotunity to test on.

Two hotfixes have been released since Wednesday (5/31/17). The first hotfix was released the same day, and I even snuck in a link change in the Alpha v0.4.0-dev release post, found here. The second hotfix was released this passed Friday (6/2/17) and fixed a very specific build issue with GCC compilation on Linux. Below you can find the change notes for each hotfix that was released for Alpha v0.4.0-dev

Woah! It’s that time again. There is a lot coming with this update. We are still in alpha, so many of them are very technical, but consider this post the release notes!

For those who do not understand development life cycles (from Wikipedia):

The alpha phase of the release life cycle is the first phase to begin software testing (alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet, used as the number 1). In this phase, developers generally test the software using white-box techniques. Additional validation is then performed using black-box or gray-box techniques, by another testing team. Moving to black-box testing inside the organization is known as alpha release.[1]

Alpha software can be unstable and could cause crashes or data loss. Alpha software may not contain all of the features that are planned for the final version.[2] In general, external availability of alpha software is uncommon in proprietary software, while open source software often has publicly available alpha versions. The alpha phase usually ends with a feature freeze, indicating that no more features will be added to the software. At this time, the software is said to be feature complete.

Welcome to the OpenRPG Developers Blog!

The OpenRPG developer blog will be used to communicate changes, ideas, and concepts involved in the OpenRPG project.

OpenRPG is still in its infancy and I want it to do a lot by v1.0.0! What OpenRPG aims to accomplish two fold.
