Switching to new Visual Studio after 15 years

Published by on July 23rd 2023.

In the past weeks, I have been updating the source code of RWPaint so that it can be compiled using new version of Microsoft Visual Studio. In today's stream I will be talking about what it will mean for you and me in the future.

Using a modern development environment would allow me to use libraries that are using features from the updated C++ standard (for example the JPEG XL library), new compiler makes RWPaint a bit smaller and faster (it can better use new instructions in recent CPUs), maintaining the code should be easier. On the other hand, compatibility with older Windows will be limited.

I am so glad Vlasta that you are willing to remaster all applications. If you can, please add more advanced features to RealWorld Cursor Editor, so that I can make extremely advanced cursor animations with multiple animation effects. Please do that.
