| post | New release: boxes v1.2 | 2017-03-16 22:40:00 +0100 | false |
Version 1.2 is out. This release features a minor enhancement to the configuration file capabilities, several bug fixes, improvements to the build, and several new box designs.
-
The boxes configuration file knows a new keyword:
designer. This gives us the possibility to distinguish between the person who created the original ASCII art, and the person who made it into a boxes configuration. Despite this change, the boxes config files remain compatible in both directions. -
Patch by François-Xavier Coudert to enable boxes to be compiled as a 64-bit application on Mac. Boxes is available on MacOS via Homebrew.

Patch by Yu-Jie Lin to better close file handles
