SquirrelJME has a Codeberg Mirror!
SquirrelJME is now also on Codeberg at the following
URL: https://t.co/uMhjF8xaqq!
Like the other Git mirrors, this is a direct conversion of the Fossil repository
which is then directly pushed to the remote.

The New Year
The next year is very much upon us, I am hopeful that for SquirrelJME's tenth
year that SquirrelJME 0.4.0 is released at some point in 2025. However, in
the meantime there have been a number of changes and updates which have
occured.

Dropping Flatpak Support
SquirrelJME will no longer be building Flatpaks, keeping them up to date,
nor showing them on the download page. The build process for Flatpaks is just
too limiting and the experience as a whole is just a pain.
For existing Fla… https://t.co/SC0I3fg0dg
Development Is Resuming
My father passed away in late July which has made for a difficult August,

SquirrelJME and FreeJ2ME-Plus can share saves!
In cooperation with the developer of FreeJ2ME-Plus, a derivation of
SquirrelJME's existing save format was created which now both emulators
implement which means that saves are sharable between the two emul… https://t.co/v4YSoFbTxL

easier to use the standalone version without having to install a Java SE

Belated April and May Update!
Okay, so I kind of forgot to post an update last month! Oops, I knew I

In May there was a kindly contributed MA-3 music emulator donated to
SquirrelJME by the alias of _Guy Perfect_, which means t… https://t.co/fP0zjNF15h
The refactored and rebuilt MEEP RMS library has been completed in SquirrelJME, which now allows software to save persistent data! No more lost progress!
March Update!
SquirrelJME now has a single standalone Jar which is multi-platform, so now
it will be easier to run it without having to fully know what your system is.
I decided to just merge in the calendar implementation despite it being
incomplete, ��� https://t.co/CW0aR34K65
February Update
Hi! This month was pretty productive! There were a few bug
fixes around buffers, and DataInputStream.readUTF() being
completely incorrect... oops!
One of the major things is the forced serialization of ScritchUI pencil drawing
operations… https://t.co/GNRVa11n0N
SpringCoat Performance Improvements
I have not done much this month as my break continues,

application … https://t.co/UjVqeDNPz6

This year has been quite the year! In the current month

small improvements around many miscellaneous areas, along with
working on the macOS Cocoa UI.

An Anti-Burnout Break is Needed
The year has been exciting and so much has been done,
but I also recognize that I need a much-needed break.
