We will temporarily stop project development starting June 6th due to holidays. We will be back to work on June 15th.

We will fulfill our promises.

macOS 13 (Ventura) EOL for our projects

Generally, a macOS version is declared as out of support three years after the initial build. This has become a normal strategy to ensure that users keep using up-to-date hardware and software and to stay secure. This is because macOS updates usually bring in some new features, bug fixes, and security improvements.

Today, we are announcing a change to our support policy as we end support for running our projects on macOS 13 (Ventura) systems. Those include MacBooks and iMacs that use this version of the operating system. This means that there will be no more security and stability updates to this version, and users are encouraged to upgrade to the newer OS to stay secure.

We will end support of macOS 13 (Ventura) for our projects on July 1st, 2025. This means that we will no longer provide official support for this version. We are committed to providing quality services and applications, and we promise that we improve our projects gradually.

As a side note, we will remind users who are running our projects on One UI 5 to upgrade to One UI 6.x or higher to continue receiving support, as we’ll end support for the former version in the same abovementioned date.

If you want continued support, upgrade to the latest version of macOS available for your system.

Our projects welcome One UI 7!

Starting from today, we have finally set the support date for our official support of One UI 7 that was released for the Galaxy S24 series on April 7th. One UI 7 is an operating system that brings overhauled UI design in different areas, while introducing exciting new features, such as Log Video, Now Bar, Daily Brief, and more.

We will begin supporting users who are using One UI 7 to support our projects, such as Nitrocid KS and BassBoom, until December 2nd, 2032. Our projects can now run on One UI 7, which is a big achievement for us, as we keep supporting our projects on Android.

Furthermore, we’d like to remind users who are still using One UI 5.x, which was released in 2022, that our support of this operating system version will cut off starting July 1st, 2025. This is to ensure that we keep going forward. You can still run our projects after this date, but all official support will end.

To update to One UI 7, make sure that you’re using an eligible device, such as Samsung Galaxy S24; Galaxy Z Fold6; and Galaxy Tab S10, before you check for updates. The rollout may vary, depending on the model and the country.

One UI 7 support for our projects has been decided! We will post the updated information shortly.

BassBoom v0.1.x EOL Announcement

BassBoom v0.0.1 was released on October 1st, 2023, as one of the flagship projects that came after Nitrocid and Terminaux. We were excited to come up with this version of the music player. Later, we’ve released BassBoom v0.1.0, which brought many amazing features from radio stations to ARM64 computer support. This happened on May 31st, 2024.

We are announcing the end of support for the BassBoom v0.1.x version series as part of our plan to continue enhancing our projects. After May 31st, 2025, we won’t provide any more support, and its documentation will be moved to the deprecated manual part of our GitBook instance.

If you want to continue receiving support from us, please use the latest version of BassBoom, which is still supported, until the new generation of BassBoom gets released. We are committed to providing the best experience for all developers and users alike.

Terminaux 7.0 Beta 1 is Live!

Starting from today, we are very thrilled to announce the first beta version for an upcoming version of the Terminaux library, the seventh major version, under the beta program. Beta versions of Terminaux 7.0 allows you to try it out in its early access phase for you to report bugs and give feedback when developing Terminaux apps.

This beta program will end when the new version of Terminaux is ready, and next beta versions of Terminaux 7.0 will be released when required. This beta program will consist of several beta versions to ensure that we deliver this new version of Terminaux in its highest quality possible and to fix all bugs (obvious or not) prior to the official release.

The first beta version of Terminaux offers new features and enhancements to existing features, such as improvements to the cyclic writers. These make sure that they improve your development experience when building Terminaux apps.

The beta versions will be suffixed with the representative -beta version according to the semantic versioning guidelines, and this is important to help you identify whether you’re using the beta version or the official release. Those packages will be released on NuGet, just like all other stable releases. In GitHub, those releases will be branded as the “pre-release” versions to let you know.

If you have any feedback, bugs, or suggestions, please send them to our GitHub issues via this link. Your feedback is essential in helping us identify areas for further improvements and to enhance user experience.

State of Our Projects and One UI 7

Our projects currently support Android devices that are running at least Android 7 using the ARM64 processor, with our testing targets being Android 14. Samsung devices are the most compatible with our projects, as we are currently testing our projects in One UI 6.1.1.

Earlier, we have updated the BassBoom documentation to reflect the state of broken PulseAudio in One UI 6.1 or higher when it’s loaded without the required LD_PRELOAD environment variable to load the OpenSL library. We have tested our projects in the following environments:

  • One UI 5.1
  • One UI 5.1.1
  • One UI 6.0
  • One UI 6.1
  • One UI 6.1.1

For those who are running One UI 7 and are planning to run our projects, we are not providing official support for this version of One UI yet, as we are still waiting for the update to be rolled out to us. Once we officially confirm that our projects work flawlessly with One UI 7, we will begin providing support for Android 15 users.

For devices other than Samsung (Google Pixel, Huawei, Xiaomi, etc.), we are not officially providing support, as each manufacturer could have different mechanisms of the Android operation, and what works on Samsung devices might not work on others.

BONUS: If you can’t run or build our .NET projects on Android due to signal 9, unlock developer options (About phone/tablet > Software information > tap on Build Number 7 times), then go to Developer Options, and turn on “Disable Child Process Restrictions.”

Introducing the Terminaux Beta Program

We are excited to announce the first beta program for an upcoming version of the Terminaux library, the seventh major version. This program allows you to try out the new version of Terminaux in its early access phase for you to report bugs and give feedback when developing Terminaux apps.

This beta program will commence on May 8th, 2025, and will end when the new version of Terminaux is ready. This program will consist of several beta versions to ensure that we deliver this new version of Terminaux in its highest quality possible and to fix all bugs (obvious or not) prior to the official release.

The beta versions will be suffixed with the representative -beta version according to the semantic versioning guidelines, and this is important to help you identify whether you’re using the beta version or the official release. Those packages will be released on NuGet, just like all other stable releases. In GitHub, those releases will be branded as the “pre-release” versions to let you know.

Announcing the new script-based build system

We began exploring options to improve the build system for all our projects that was first established around 2021, starting from the Nitrocid KS project. We had initialized the Nitrocid PPA packaging in 2020, then improved it quite a bit in 2021 with a new repository, which is archived now as part of our efforts in 2023 to make use of the Makefiles.

Since then, we’ve started increasing the consistency of our build system to the point that the Makefiles and the relevant build scripts have been introduced, with the latest changes being that we’ve finally introduced the tools submodule. This repository allows you to give your projects a build system powered by both the Batch scripts for Windows and the Bash scripts for Unix systems.

This repository is still not finished, yet, as we are trying to address remaining improvements to be put in place and to introduce a more extensive (and hopefully clear) documentation for using this submodule across many projects. Many Aptivi projects will use it to improve their build system and to save time writing long commands.

Using a single make command provided by an extensible standard Makefile template file (can be copied to each project individually) that will debut this August, we’ll be able to make this build system available to the public for every external project to use. For .NET projects, this Makefile will not interfere with the standard Visual Studio build process. As a reminder, Makefiles are not only for native projects written in C, but are also for all projects under all programming languages, even .NET and Node.js!

This build system is currently under development, but we are excited to announce that the final release of this build system will be released in the first half of August.

We are aware of an issue where One UI 6.1 and above has introduced a bug that causes PulseAudio to be unable to find "libskcodec.so". We'll update our project docs accordingly.

BassBoom and Terminaux support updates

We are thrilled to announce that BassBoom and Terminaux support periods have been updated to reflect the latest planned changes. Those changes are currently internal when it comes to extensive details, and may change at any time based on internal reviews. We know that software development can sometimes introduce unexpected challenges at some point, so we’ve made this decision in regards to future support periods for BassBoom and Terminaux.

Starting from the next generation of BassBoom, which we’ll talk about in detail as we’re getting closer to release, and Terminaux 7.0, we’ll follow the below support schedule:

  • Every two major versions of BassBoom in the 1.x series will receive long term support of up to five years. In between those versions a version series that will get one year of support.
  • The same can be described in Terminaux version 7.0 or higher, except that support is focused upon the major version series and odd/even numbering. For example, Terminaux version 8.0 gets five years of support, while 7.0 gets one year of support.

BassBoom 0.2.x series will continue getting support until the next-gen version gets released under a different library, at which both libraries will be promoted to the 1.x version series. As a result, we’re dropping the September 16th date and making the support run indefinitely until we’re ready to release the new BassBoom. While we can’t reveal the release date of the final version of the new BassBoom, we are making sure that everything goes according to plan.

The documentation will be updated soon to adjust to this change.

Making Projects Better

Making our projects better than before is one of our most important things that we have planned to do. We have improved the build system across all projects by introducing the tools repository on GitHub that is used as a submodule. Our strategy for this plan is to make sure that all our projects get the highest quality possible, while aiming for more.

Announcements for new release of our flagship projects will be made every major version or a version that is worth talking about. Not only updates will be done, but projects that are new to the programming industry will be made to allow developers to have more options according to the program.

Recently, we have started improving the documentation of the Terminaux project for the upcoming release. We have currently restructured the cyclic writer documentation so that a single page is split to multiple pages by category. This helps find information more quickly.

In the second half of the year, we are planning to introduce changes to our work plans so that we’d be more open. Confirmed additions, improvements, and other updates will be added to every repository’s GitHub Projects, straight from the internal information. This is to let the users know of the roadmap of all our projects in a more transparent manner.

After the release of the upcoming Nitrocid version series, we’ll make sure that other projects get their own development time as we are striving to improve them with new features and other general improvements. Because the upcoming version of Nitrocid is currently in a stage where it needs to be adjusted for the next Terminaux version, a beta program will be introduced. This is to gain feedback from developers and users, and we listen to all feedback!

Making sure that we fulfill our promises to you, we’ll keep you informed of any new updates regarding our projects. Meanwhile, normal development for all projects will start on April 6th, and we hope that we introduce you to new, exciting features. Are you ready for the most exciting moments?

Update for Further Development

This month, it was a massive month for us when it comes to the build system and Terminaux. The build system witnessed many improvements across different areas, including, but not limited to:

  • Introduction of the tools repository that any project (of course, not just C# projects, but non-C# ones, such as Node.js and Rust projects) can use.
  • The build system actually uses the vendor scripts found under the vnd directory, which increases flexibility.
  • All projects, such as Nitrocid, BassBoom, and Terminaux, now use the tools repository as a submodule instead of the project-specific build scripts.

In addition to that, we are proud to release the above repository with full documentation about how to adapt your project so that it uses this minimal and extensible build system. Then, we have actually started working on the upcoming version of Terminaux, which we will release when we feel that it’s ready for public use.

Now, we are announcing an important change to our plans for the next week. We will pause development of all projects for one week starting from March 30th as we are evaluating our plans for the coming weeks to make sure that we fulfill our promise to you. After one week, we will resume development of all projects, but we will employ different strategies to ensure high quality.

The blog will still get new articles, but we will resume normal project announcements after the one-week brownout. This way, we’ll make sure that we provide continuous updates regarding all our projects.

We apologize for unusable design in BassBoom 0.1.12 and 0.2.7. Everything should work perfectly.
