Celebrating 20 Years of Vienna RSS

I bounced around RSS clients in the early Mac OS X years, and certainly used Vienna for a while. It was noteworthy to me because it was open-source—something that was comparatively rare for fully featured, well designed applications on Mac OS X at the time. Congrats to all involved for keeping the project going for 20 years.

I am building gcc-15.1.0 on my iMac G4 (Tiger) machine. It is on stage2, which is a good sign.

It will include C, C++, Fortran, Modula-2, Objective C, and Objective C++ compilers.

It will depend on my new PowerPC Mac OS X modernization library, libpcc: github.com/ibara/libppc

I'll write a blog post about how to use it once it is all compiled; my goal is to produce a turnkey solution that just works(TM), including assembler, linker, and other utilities, as recent as possible for PowerPC.

And libppc can be instantly extendable to incorporate more C11 and later features. Hopefully others in the retro Mac community are interested in building that up with me.

My ultimate goal is to build some flavor of WebKit some day and have a modern web experience (even if slow, and possibly using X11). But in the meantime we will probably build a lot of excellent modern software to keep these machines going.

Took advantage of the long week-end to make a new release of my personal project: QuickDraw viewer, a tool to visualise and convert QD images used on old Macintosh computer into something modern like PDF or PNG.

This was mostly a maintenance release, switching to Swift 6 and adding the relevant synchronisation annotations. It's far from perfect but it works. I also improved the localisation, and some the documentation.

A friend sent me this screenshot of FCPX running on OS X Mavericks:
1. Everything is compartmentalized; sections, subsections, content, tools
2. Clear on/off state for controls
3. Even with icons lacking color, they have detail; far clearer than SF Symbols could ever be
4. Buttons have borders; you can tell what is a button vs. symbol (representing a status)

This is what Dark Mode should have been; a "lights out" version of standard window chrome. Not just black.

Overrode NSTableHeaderView and NSTableHeaderCell yesterday to get an Aqua appearance by custom drawing them myself in their respective draw functions... but refined it a lot more today!

(I removed most of the UI to call out the table view headers a bit more in this video)

Maaaaaan, AppKit is so fucking fun to use and make shit with.
