When I think about it, I guess it would be best to test for every Platform, we are shipping on the website

Looks like there is a problem on the build server for windows 64-bit builds the last 3 failed.

Edit: Also x86 builds for windows.

Looks like something changed in the Jenkins agent and now it's incapable of cloning the sources. I'll try to work around it.

According to this article There is a compiler called Zapcc which is similar to Clang in terms om the resulting binary, but it does allot of things in memory making the compilation faster. Perhaps this is something to use in the CI?

Looks interesting, but it will probably take some time to reach general availability. Also, their FAQ will give you a bit of a cold shower:

Similarly, try not to change other flags between compilations as most flag changes will result in a cache invalidation and reset.

Cuberite currently uses different flags for different files (due to unresolved warnings), so it will most likely not get too much of a speedup.

It seems Microsoft has released the VS2017 Release candidate: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/...tes#willow

I'vs just made a first test, cuberite does compile w/o any troubles like those we had with VS 2015.

The optimizer is able to speed up the generator slighlty (190->195 ch/s with the same world.ini)

The integrated Cmake generator does not pollut the cuberite source foulder with any project files, they are stored in AppData\Local\CMakeBuild\

Here is the compiled binary:

If you want me to test anything, just ask. :>

Dear diary,
today I finally tested the new camera on the race quadcopter. The flight videos are great:

However, in the end I crash-landed, breaking the quad. And the spare for the part I broke is still in the mail, on the way from China And I pray the electronics survived. I guess I should've stayed at home instead, coding some Cuberite...

I've changed the register settings for the forum. We're now using Google's reCAPTCHA which is supposed to be safer and harder to crack than MyBB's default captcha.

It is a great story, and if you forgive it for being too stretched to be true, the mental image is hilarious I read it every now and then and each time I laugh until I cry.
