Boolean Soup updated! (ALSO HAPPY BIRTHDAY FIONA THREAD)
Yep, for the first time in a century the site has been updated. ![]()
Thanks to the new "openish" code and the new bug tracker we've fixed lots of outstanding bugs that have been plaguing the site for ages.
The were no features in this release, it was purely to tidy up some rough edges and to get used to having the site in version control.
HOWEVER...!
Since the BBCode parser has been completely replaced with a much faster and much more extendible one, we do have a new feature - source code highlighting!
It's one that has been long overdue as being needed. Simply define your language as the option in your code tags and you're away!
class testing:
def method(self):
print "hello", "world"
hiya = testing()
hiya.method()
BEGIN
look_its_div();
exit("lol", 0);
END
PROCESS look_its_div()
BEGIN
LOOP
FRAME;
END
END
The code highlighter is courtesy of GeSHi, we have support for every language listed on the site, just try it out.
There is currently no Fenix, but there is DIV (see above) so feel free to get the GeSHi code and make a new syntax definition based on this one.
Thanks to Frimkron, Rince, Htbaa, Woody, Ecko and everyone else to helped push us to carry on with the site.
Now it's your time!! (lmbo) Use the bug tracker to submit any feature requests or other bugs.
Div-Arena Backup Found!
The one and only Mike Green has made an appearence on the forums to let us know that a fully working copy of Div-Arena.com, downloads and all, has been found (on an old hard disk no less!)
Its a perfect snapshot of the site at the moment it was taken offline a few years ago. So if you ever uploaded any games, wips or tech demos to the DIV site and have since lost your only backups and want them back, or maybe if you're just feeling a little nostalgic about those masterpieces you made, be sure to stop by this thread and leave a note for Mike. He'll send you your work, but nothing's going to be given out without the author's permission!
Fenix Wiki
Over the year Fenix Wiki has evolved into a great repository of Fenix knowledge, attracting people from allover the world - and it's still growing. Many functions (like Blendops), variables (like Reserved), etc have been documented and can be read about. There is also a number of tutorials available and a fully documented Network.DLL. Navigating has become easier too, with the use of navboxes.
But it's still not completed and it needs people to add content! Do you have a tutorial lying around or do you want to make one? Maybe know how a certain functions works or know a cool trick with it? Add it!
Everything is welcome, so head over to http://www.fenixdocs.com.
Merry New Year
Merry new year!
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas everyone.

Server move
Our host is moving to a new data center and connecting to a new network tonight (night from November 11 to November 12). A downtime of 1-3 hours is expected.
In other news, come into the chatroom some more, we miss you! For those of you generally too busy to idle long enough to catch someone else, maybe all hop in every monday 5-11 PM GMT?
Bennu forums
As most of you know Juan is developing a Fenix fork named Bennu. Now an official forum has emerged at http://www.bennugd.org, and best of all is that the top forums are English, and that this default internet language is seriously being supported next to Spanish. Information no longer needs to be second hand for those of us who don't speak Spanish.
On the forums you can already sign up for betatesting and Juan offers insight in the changes he is making, so go there already!
