Happy New Year 2019.

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.

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.

Ansilove/PHP 1.12 has been released. You can download it here.

Ansilove/PHP is now deprecated, version 1.12 will be the last release.

Users are encouraged to migrate to Ansilove/C which replaces the command line converter, and to Ansilove.js for doing "on the fly" conversions on web pages. See the downloads section for more details.

ChangeLog:

• Adding a new example ANSi (Thanks Otium)
• Adding a new example ASCii (Thanks Konami)
• Adding a new example ANSi (Thanks Andy Herbert)
• Adding a new example ANSi (Thanks TCF)
• Adding a new example XBin (Thanks Enzo)
• Relicensed under the BSD 2-Clause license
• Use env to find PHP
• Switch examples pages to HTML5
• Add deprecation notices

After moving to its own domain last year, the site has now also been switched to HTTPS and redesigned. We are now using Stefan's excellent BlockZone font and Luciano's header logo.

Thanks to both of you for making the new version possible.

Ansilove/PHP 1.11 has been released. You can download it here.

ChangeLog:

• Fixed a bug in the TUNDRA renderer
• Fixed inconsistency when using Amiga fonts: bold characters are now displayed only in CED and WorkBench modes
• Removing PHP warning about date.timezone settings when logging errors
• Removing PHP warning displayed when input file doesn't exist
• Added 3 example ASCiis (Thanks to: Plur, Spear, Knocturnal, Sk!n)
• Added 9 example ANSis (Thanks to: Knocturnal, Grymmjack, Noches, Avenging Angel, Enzo, BYM, Filth, Rad Man)

I'm very pleased to announce that we now have an Ansilove extension for Firefox written by Andrew Herbert which leverages Ansilove.js and allows to view text-mode art directly in Firefox! It is available on the official Firefox Add-ons site, and the source code is 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!

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.

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

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!

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.

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 project in any way!

I'm currently working on version 1.08, which will include new and improved Amiga fonts as well as a lot of requested features and improvements.
