Hey look, a patron perk!

Here's the new Ask A Teledildonticist video, a few days before the rest of the world will get to see it!

After threatening for the better part of 2 years, I've finally kicked off the Ask A Teledildonticist video series!

Feel free to message me your questions if you have something you'd like answered in the series!

Watching the bugs roll in...

First off, some pretty big news:

Releases!

With Buttplug v5 released last week, I've now moved to getting all of the dependencies updated. This means the FFI libraries (new C# and JS out yesterday), and Intiface CLI/Engine will be happening in the next day or two.

The pre-release slog continues...

There's nothing worse than changing a surface API, because that means a major version revision, which means then you just start piling in ALL of the changes that might hit surface APIs, and sudden you've got a katamari release on your hands.

A line of yaks stretching as far as the eye can see...

The slow march toward what is now Buttplug v5.0 continues.

Too god damn much bluetooth.

This is going to be one of those updates that is more about meta-buttplugs than buttplugs. About 6 months ago, a ton of code was overhauled in btleplug, the Bluetooth LE library I maintain and that powers all bluetooth in Buttplug on Windows/macOS/Linux. Unfortunately testing to this code has gone slowly, and there were a couple of stalls due to weirdness on Linux. Luckily this past weekend I finally figured out the Linux issues enough to write a workaround, so we'll hopefully have the new btleplug v0.8 released this week.

And suddenly, productivity.

YES IT IS FINALLY HERE.

A boring but somewhat productive week in the Buttplug world...

Right now most of the work in Buttplug is actually slightly lower than Buttplug itself. I'm working with some other developers to get the new Bluetooth LE library in, which allows me to cut about 50% of the bluetooth code out of the server, as well as making things work far better on macOS. It'll also possibly open the way for iOS/Android usage. Unfortunately things are stuck on Linux right now, where everything breaks horribly. Hoping to have that shored up in the next week or two so we can get this out.

Intiface Desktop v22 is live!

Unfortunately the autoupdater broke in v21 and I didn't notice, so if you're getting stuck on the "Updating Application" dialog, just download the installer from the site.
