RandFill 🏷️
Building Qt for static linking (2015-03-31)
One of the drawbacks of using such a comprehensive framework as Qt is the massively increased size of you program.
When my pet project RandFill was only using the plain Win32-API, it was a single executable file of a couple of hundred kilobytes.
Now, using dynamically linked Qt, the whole package (with DLLs, MSVC redistributables, etc.) is bigger than 20 megabytes as a 64-bit build!

Konnichiwa!
Journal #2 (2014-04-07)
Konnichiwa again, picking up the loose threads from the last instance.

Konnichiwa, time for another status report.

Greetings! After a long while, some status updates again…
Journal #8: Updates on WPDLib and RandFill (2020-06-28)
So, it’s been quite a while since the last post of this sort, and I did slow down on the projects mentioned
there for some time, but…
On CMake (2014-05-04)
I’ve changed the build process of the RandFill project recently
from using the Visual Studio files (*.sln, *.vcxproj, etc.) to maintaining and generating those with CMake.
While I was running the old-but-still-officially-current version 1.1.0 of RandFill recently (to analyze
a change between that version and the 1.2.x branch), I stumbled upon a strange behaviour:
RandFill 1.1.0 re-released (2013-10-20)
No functional changes yet, but it comes now with a proper installer instead of just an executable in
a zip file (for this tool and at this stage not really necessary, but it will come handy in the future).
RandFill 1.1.0 released (2013-09-01)
While looking through the files of that tool for the first time in years and comparing it with my old homepage,
I realized that I’ve forgotten to publish the latest version (not really surprising, since it’s only a small utility,
only used by me and put on the internet just for the sake of completeness and delusions of grandeur).
RandFill 1.2.0 (2015-05-18)
Finally, a new release of my pet project is done: RandFill 1.2.0 is here!
RandFill 1.2.1 (2015-07-16)
New minor release of RandFill.
RandFill: Open Source (2013-12-05)
The project is now open source (published under the terms of the MIT license)
and available on BitBucket.org.
Size comparison: RandFill 1.1.0 vs. 1.2.x-devel (2014-07-02)
I’m currently migrating RandFill from plain Win32 code to a mix of Win32 and Qt 5 code (mainly the GUI parts, at the moment);
and the size comparison between these two versions is sobering.
Vectorized RandFill Logo (2014-09-09)
While I’m (slowly) continuing to convert RandFill from Win32 to Qt,
I’ve added the icon of the logo to the main window and the executable today.
