Sorry, that was what was current LTS when I setup CI builds

#22Oh, I know something about this. Some people that made this are part of DragonSector [1] polish hacking group that broke DRMs in trains quite recently [2]. Sadly I joined company after there were long gone. Really surprised seeing this posted here as it was pointed out, the repo is pretty old and archived.

One person, IIRC, don't think anyone other than q3k was involved in CodiSec, and I think he left the company before proper development on Veles started (I think he was present when first talks about were happening and gave a lot of inspiration though, but isn't in credits for first open source version)

#23Not sure how new the tool is because it was new in 2017... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15966021
There was a major push for development back in 2015-2016, back before it was open sourced, but AFAIK it went dead pretty soon as internal funding dried up.. Looking at github commit log, it seems it died by mid 2018. First time I had to setup CI on a Mac, and what a horrible experience it was (Windows was comparatively easy, though finding out that starting with Windows Core wasn't best option took some time to learn…

Could you share some details what was horrible?
I've created pipelines for Linux, macOS and Windows, and think that Windows is by far the worst of all three to setup anything related to CI.

One of the issues was making builds that worked on OS versions older than the build host, general annoyances of admining macOS, fragility of the environment (this was before image based upgrades)

Since this is an old tool and it fails to deal with large files, I made a completely new version from scratch a while ago, using a completely different rendering approach that's more like how you'd render a volumetric data set like an MRI scan. It loads the file and processes it into a 256x256x256 volumetric data set, which is then rendered using shaders. As a result, the file size doesn't matter for rendering, only…
You should add some screenshots!
I added a few screenshots of different files right now.
