As I have gotten back into publishing open source code, the age-old question arose: where do I host the source code?

My original solution was GitHub. I moved away from it several years ago, because I felt that it was far too powerful of an entity, especially as a subsidiary of Microsoft. They have had outage issues and claiming CoPilot wrote all the things. On top of that, I keep reporting malware and they keep not doing anything about it. So, I am not about to hand over more stuff to them if I can avoid it.

For a while, I was using GitLab. They weren’t bad, but they still worried me with some of their decisions.

Now? I am using Codeberg. I like their non-profit status. Many people will appreciate that they are based in Europe, or that their primary social media presence is on Mastodon. I do not have very sophisticated needs from a source repository, and they cover those needs nicely. I do worry a bit about what happens if they get slammed with a DDoS or other attacks, but otherwise, I feel better about using them than I do using their huge competitors.

Only two brand-new artifacts this wave:

• androidx.compose.remote:remote-testing
• androidx.glance.wear:wear-tooling-preview

But there are over 900 updated artifacts — a list can be found here!

The cw-json repository now has version 0.3.0 of kmp-jsonpointer and kmp-jsonpointer-kxs. The primary change is the addition of Relative JSON Pointer support, based on one of the draft specs. You can now use + on a JsonPointer with a String, and you get back a RelativePointerResult type based on whether the String represents a relative reference to an object, an object key, or an array index. Also, - lets you calculate a Relative JSON Pointer between two JsonPointer objects.

The Dokka documentation has been updated for 0.3.0.

The cw-json repository now has version 0.2.0 of kmp-jsonpointer and kmp-jsonpointer-kxs. The primary change is the addition of URI fragment encoding of a JSON Pointer, based on RFC 6901. Call JsonPointer.fromFragment() to create a JsonPointer given a fragment, and call toFragment() on a JsonPointer to get the fragment encoding for it.

The Dokka documentation has been updated for 0.2.0. I think I have the Dokka versioning plugin set up properly to allow me to host past and current versions of the docs — we will find out when I publish 0.3.0. 😅
