What's qDot Up To This Week? (2020-11-20 Edition)
AGH IT'S DONE IT'S FINALLY DONE
After busting ass for the past week, btleplug 0.4.0 with macOS support is done. This means buttplug-rs now works with bluetooth toys on Win10, MacOS, Linux, and possibly even iOS once I figure out how to test that. This is the first time we'll have had reliable bluetooth running on all 3 desktop platforms under the same Buttplug library in the 2.75 years the project has existed. This is a HUGE help for me going forward, as it really does look like we'll be able to use rust for almost everything.
Still figuring out that whole WASM/Web angle on this so we can replace buttplug-js with this too, but we'll get there.
Buttplug
I'll now be returning to Buttplug work. I've got some patches to bring in from other developers who've been working on porting toy protocols over to rust, and I need to sweep through and see what else needs to be implemented or fixed before we can release v0.1.0. My goal is to have v0.1.0 also working under a CLI, so we can maybe start using it under Intiface (even though it's going to be super buggy for the next while, I figure).
Unfortunately that's all the news for the week, as I just did the btleplug release about 30 minutes ago, so I haven't exactly had time to do much else. Getting closer to having things to talk about actually related to things people use soon, though!
Until next week, Keep Buttpluggin'!
