Our annual report on the progress of Lumiera lists a number of elements contributing to project increment and the general status of the project.

While there’s been a long pause since our last news report, a lot of coding activity happened “behind the scenes”. Read more in our recent 2016 Development Report…

We published the next »preview release« 0.pre.03
We did a lot of library and platform upgrades recently, which need to be reflected within package definitions and buildsystem. This “release” is relevant for developers only; we still have no user visible changes yet. As usual, we upgraded our Debian packaging and rebuilt the package on various distributions, to spot build problems and verify compatibility…

The reference platform for Lumiera has been upgraded to Debian/Jessie. And the Language level has been raised to C++14. As usal, Lumiera core developers will meet at and after the FrOSCon conference.

The existing Lumiera user interface has been switched to GTK-3.
Besides some clean-up, this prompted more activities in the area of GUI and workflow recently. Read more in the 2014/15 Spring Coding News…

Benny has compiled a small 2014 Summer News Report —  As usual, Lumiera team will meet again at the FrOSCon conference at Bonn/St.Augustin (Germany)

the Lumiera core developers will visit the LAC Linux Audio Conference in Karlsruhe/Germany. As we did some years ago at Utrecht, we’ll help again with the Video streaming. And of course we’ll use the opportunity for a in-person developer meeting.

The Lumiera code base has been switched to C++11. Additionally, we’ll support also compilation with Clang from now on. The transition to C++11 didn’t impose any serious problems, since we’re employing a modern coding style right from start. After the switch, development will benefit especially from the new features rvalue references, auto type inference and constexpr.

while preparing for FrOSCon, we collected and merged several documentation contributions. Thanks to Benny Lyons: here is the 2013 Summer News Report

Kudos to Benny Lyons for writing the 2012 Fall Coding News Report and all his further documentation and website contributions

again thanks to Wouter Verwijlen: read the Summer/Fall Coding News Report

…we’re still a tiny bit behind on our news reports, but here’s some catching up for this quarter: the Spring Coding News Report; thanks to Wouter Verwijlen for reminding us and collecting the informations

a bit late…. but here it is: the Winter Coding News.

We can now provide binary Debian packages for the first time, allowing you to install a development preview/snapshot without compiling, on Debian based systems (e.g. Ubuntu). But don’t get too excited — you won’t see any new features on the GUI…

We have been at FrOSCon 2010 with a booth and a talk on Lumiera. →more…

The Summer Coding News are out! Read the latest development report.

The Lumiera team will be at the German Free and Open Source Software Conference (FrOSCon) in St. Augustin (near Bonn) on August 20-21. Hermann Vosseler (ichthyo) will give a talk about Lumiera on Sunday 21 at 10:00. We hope to see you there!

The Spring Quarterly News are out!

NoBug version 201001.1 has just been released. This new version, with lots of improvements (also the support for non-Linux systems) is now a requirement for Lumiera. On the release there are still some pending bugs meant to be shot down in the next few days (just now the testsuite fails).

The Winter Quarterly News are out!

You probably haven’t noticed that, but a lot of work has been done to improve this website.

The page about our FrOSCon appearance is now online, still a bit prelimary we work on it.

A new release of NoBug, our debugging library is out. Lumiera needs this new version from now on. We are on the track for a production release really soon. Some help for testing and improving the documentation is still needed.

Mario from LXDE talked with us at FrSOCon. This interview is now online at perspective89 and radiotux. Thanks to Mario and the radiotux team who made this happen.

FrOSCon was a big success, a lot of people where interested in Lumiera! We will show videos, photos and stuff soon.

The Lumiera community is in New York at the Open Video Conference. Tom gives a presentation about Lumiera and our goals. Awesome conference!
