correct idiom for realloc to avoid leaking memory if allocation fails fixed memory leak in the output function gdimagedestroy must be called after gdimagepngptr thanks andrew michaelson january 16th 2019 following yesterday release of libansilove 1 1 0 i m happy to announce that ansilove 4 0 0 has finally been released you can download it here this is the first release of ansilove which is actually using libansilove this makes the codebase cleaner and much easier to maintain changelog switch to using libansilove add a new switch d to toggle dos aspect ratio add initial support for pablodraw 24 bit ansi sequences ansilove now generates only one output file when r or r options are used display scale factor when r or r options are used allow to specify the number of columns for ansi and tundra files restrict maximum allowed number of columns to 4096 check asprintf return value and error if allocation fails bugfixes and improvements in the sauce parser refactor font selection processing refactor rendering mode processing use openbsd style 9 for function prototypes and declaration add missing headers and remove unnecessary ones remove versioninfo simply print the header with version information when invoked with v remove showhelp show synopsis instead when invoked with h add a new example ansi thanks nail remove e switch examples are now listed in the man page instead make synopsis only display synopsis as it should be add an examples section in ansilove 1 pc fonts for code pages other than cp437 are now named using the cpnnn scheme albeit not documented anymore the previously used names will keep working january 15th 2019 libansilove 1 1 0 has been released you can download it here changelog only call gdfree if the png buffer was allocated thanks joris vink no need for buffer pointers to be const they re passed to functions taking non consts thanks joris vink introduce a maplen variable to allow tracking mmap size as we can t rely on the length variable because of sauce unmap ctx buffer on cleanup thanks joris vink check for the tundra24 string in tnd files header split fonts data to have one include file per font use macros instead of hardcoded values in the tundra loader use x instead of integer value for the start of sgr sequences always check that seqtok is not null before using it move the include guards to the top of header files add format validation checks for the xbin loader increment ansi_buffer by more than one element at a time when using realloc add initial man page documenting the ansilove_ctx and ansilove_options structures happy new year 2019 december 7th 2018 back in october i received an anonymous mail tipping me about 16colo rs a new online ansi gallery using ansilove it s really fantastic to see ansilove used at such a scale and it helped uncover a few rendering issues which have been fixed since i strongly encourage you to visit the site as it is quite an improvement compared to all galleries we ve had in the past and the search functionality actually works well november 16th 2018 we are extremely happy to announce that libansilove 1 0 0 has finally been released you can download it here the code was split from ansilove c 3 0 9 in december 2017 and almost 200 commits have been made since that release to transform the conversion code into a reusable c library a new version of ansilove c will be released soon to take advantage of the library april 19th 2017 ansilove php 1 12 has been released you can download it here ansilove php is now deprecated version 1 12 will be the

published on github this is especially handy for viewing text files online on bbs or ms dos programs archives there is a video showing example usage here once again thanks to andy for making this happen happy new year 2014 a bit in advance november 24th 2013 ansilove has been ported to javascript by andrew herbert check out the ansilove js project page on github ansilove js allows rendering ansi art and all the artscene formats supported by ansilove directly in the browser on top of that it also supports ansi animations rendering something i always wanted to add in the php version but could never achieve due to the fact the gd library for php do not support outputting animated gif files you can try it online by yourself there is an online converter available and a demo gallery showing the animation capabilities this is definitely a fantastic release and i would like to personally thank andy for this porting effort july 17th 2013 today marks 10 years since i started working on ansilove for the record it was originally started to convert my ascii and ansi artworks to png images in order to create the gallery on my artscene and demoscene site which went live in september 2003 it later evolved to be the general purpose converter and library combo it is nowadays and the first open source release happened in early 2006 ten years and eleven releases later i m still maintaining this codebase and will definitely keep committed to this project if you want to keep up to date regarding ansilove development please star the repository on github lastly i would like to take the opportunity to thank all the artists past present and future who submitted artwork for ansilove and helped making the releases so colorful happy summer 2013 and to the next 10 years 3 october

cubon spidy and spot on other news ansilove is now on github as well for those who would like to test the development version https github com ansilove ansilove php version 1 09 is coming in the following days stay tuned may 27th 2011 although the site has been updated a few times i realize it has been a long time since my previous post here almost two years have gone by so what s new you may ask the download section now has its own page instead of the previous redirection to the sourceforge download page i also added a bbs nostalgia section including some screen captures from some old french bbses i used to call during the second part of the nineties i m now also hosting an artpacks archive which is a mirror of the sixteen colors archive the synchronization is not an automated process so i will update the archive from time to time whenever new packs or recovered lost ones are added to the repository once again if you used to be involved in artscene and you happen to have old backups from that era in your possession please help us recovering any lost gems which are still missing and nowhere to be found online this would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance lastly for those interested in keeping in touch i m now present on twitter september 25th 2009 ansilove php has reached the 5000 downloads milestone this month which is quite an achievement considering this tool is aimed at a very specified audience i m very pleased to see ansilove getting more widely used and appreciated within the community and would like to thank everyone who contributed to this
