Neon v2 goes open source! 28 August, 2008 at 11:36 pm
After more than a year since the last “news” on the Neon v2 website, some big news indeed: Neon v2 has gone open source! (First read about here: “Neon v2 goes open source” by Soledad Penadés). Neon v2 being the software that I use for mixing visuals, of course, which is why I’m excited.
This happened at the beginning of August, apparently – I wish I knew about this a few weeks ago… but better late than never. I’ve recently been considering the need for a change to some different software to cope with some new demands, but maybe, just maybe, I can make some changes in the now-available program to do what I want.
A bit of a big ask, perhaps… when I tried the version 2.5 alpha, it basically didn’t work on my machine. If I can make it to work, at least, things could start to get very interesting. A quick look at the info.txt file for the Subversion repository suggests Visual Studio 2005 (among other things) may be required. With luck, Visual Studio Express 2008 will do the job. With good luck, that is.
