  1. Aptivi Development Toolkit (ADT) branding logo revealed!

    Since the first release of Aptivi Development Toolkit (ADT) on March 2026, the toolkit has seen numerous improvements, including the addition of custom hooks and other features. With the release of version 1.1.0.0 that added custom hooks, we’re so excited to set a bright future for this toolkit.

    This toolkit not only simplifies the build process, but also streamlines project management, such as cleaning binaries, pushing binaries to repositories, and so on, with custom vendor scripts as the medium to increase the range of projects that can use ADT. It also works with GitHub Actions and other CI solutions, not just on your local machine, to ensure that your projects build successfully on such environments, both online and offline.

    We are so excited to reveal the new logo of ADT, which you can now see below!

    This new logo is available in the updated branding kit, which you can download here.

    Learn more about this new logo here.

  2. Aptivi Development Toolkit v1.1 is now available!

    Earlier this year, we’ve released the first version of Aptivi Development Toolkit (ADT) after months of planning and execution, with the older platform-specific scripts as the medium for our plans. This version was made for developers to integrate the toolkit to their projects to make the build system more predictable and consistent across platforms. This toolkit also provided some basic Git operations, such as creating commits and pushing them.

    Since the initial March release, we’ve worked towards improving the toolkit by adding features while focusing on improvements that made the toolkit more reliable. Now, we are excited to announce a new version of ADT, which is version v1.1.0.0!

    This version of ADT adds two new features, as well as several improvements being made to the toolkit to increase its reliability while preserving usability. The following changes were made since the release of v1.0.2.0:

    • Added custom actions
    • Added listing remote branches
    • Attribute and type validation is now enforced
    • Push progress is now clearer
    • Fixed submodule changes causing git push fails

    This version of the development toolkit will be rolled out to all our projects soon.

    To learn more about this version of ADT, as well as the upgrade process in your project, please consult the Newsroom here.

  5. Colorimetry and Calendrier demos are now available!

    When we started 2026, we’ve introduced two new libraries that are built for the .NET ecosystem, such as C# projects that work in various contexts. While Colorimetry was introduced to provide more applications, such as web and mobile applications, an ability to utilize Terminaux’s method of processing colors, Calendrier was introduced to provide a wrapper for some of the most common calendars.

    Starting from today, we have introduced two new demonstration sections that target both of these libraries. Those sections allow you to try out these libraries straight from your web browser, without having to install a .NET SDK to try them out, thereby saving time.

    Those demonstrations can be found by visiting our official website and navigating to Demos, or by clicking on the below button.

    Try them out

    To learn more about those demonstrations, you can visit this Aptivi Newsroom article here.

  6. Aptivi Development Toolkit (ADT) is now official!

    Our earlier announcement talked about how we’ve finalized the development of the new toolkit and how it would replace the older script-based toolkit. We have stated that the older script-based toolkit suffered from the following problems:

    • Maintenance burdens: The older toolkit raised maintenance concerns, since we have to make sure that the toolkit’s features work properly in both Windows and Unix by maintaining two shell types and keeping them in sync.
    • Structure inconsistency: Users were required to provide a script file for each action on Windows, while they were required to provide functions that implement a specific action, all in one script, on Unix.
    • Complex problems required complex solutions: Since the older script-based toolkit used batch files and Bash scripts, problems that were more complex required complex and potentially fragile solutions.
    • Readability issues: The scripts suffer from readability issues, due to lots of variety needed for this toolkit to happen, such as argument processing for an action. This makes maintenance harder and more time consuming.

    Today, we are very excited to announce that the all-new toolkit, Aptivi Development Toolkit (ADT), is now available!

    This toolkit solves the above problems by using Python as the scripting language due to its coherence and efficiency. By making the implementation of vendor scripts easier and more readable, long-term maintenance is guaranteed. This careful study has resulted in a toolkit that allows you to implement complex problems more efficiently, while maintaining readability.

    Here are some of the key features of how ADT will transform your development experience when working on projects:

    • Python instead of shell scripts: We have advocated into using Python 3.x in the development toolkit as it’s available on all major platforms, such as Windows, macOS, and Linux. It also simplifies the way you implement your vendor scripts to reduce maintenance burden and to make your scripts more convenient to work with.
    • Built-in report system: The development toolkit provides you an “internal report” facility that allows you to generate a report about your project to a text file either locally or on a remote SSH server. This lets you get extensive details about your projects effortlessly.
    • Built-in basic Git integration: ADT also contains the Git integration, which allows you to perform some of the most common Git operations, including committing, pushing, and so on. This is not a drop-in replacement for Git and its command-line interface, as it only focuses on the basics.
    • Conventional commits: The Git integration’s commits use conventional commits that we’ve described in our contribution guidelines. Alternatively, you can use the standard git commit command if you want to opt out from conventional commits.
    • Cloneable as a Git submodule: ADT respects the old script-based toolkit’s goals by making it cloneable as a submodule to make the toolkit focus on only one project. This also allows you to maintain different revisions of ADT across different Git repositories.

    To add ADT as a submodule to your project, use git submodule add https://github.com/Aptivi/tools.

    Please note that you’ll have to obtain Python 3.10 or greater to be able to use this toolkit without any problems.

  8. Stage 2 of the new Aptivi rebrand is done!

    We have earlier mentioned the three stages of the Aptivi rebrand, and Stage 1 was finished on December 31st of the last year. It was a massive update from the start, which involved replacing the old branding and its colors with the new branding and the colors. This affected all sites, applications, and other assets that we have worked on.

    Now, we are very excited to announce that the second stage, which was the hardest stage of all, is now finished! We have done many layout changes to the website and the blog from responsive design to redesigned elements.

    We are now showing the latest posts at the bottom of each article, which allows quick access to what’s new. This is going to be a quality of life change to those who are reading our blog site, as you’re doing now. We’ve removed the “Latest posts” sidebar panel to move them to the bottom of the whole article, while preserving the “Breaking News” panel in the same sidebar.

    As for responsiveness, we’ve made your mobile experience more meaningful by making the site elements more responsive to mobile screens that are usually narrow. This responsiveness for mobile devices has been applied to the main site, the blog site, and the API documentation site.

    Additionally, we’ve done many improvements to how our sites consume the screen real-estate. Instead of taking up half the screen with just the background in the two edges, we’ve increased the width of the content component for every page of our site, including the API documentation and the blog.

    Here’s the clear and concise rollout timeline that we’ll go through by the end of February 12th, 2026:

    • Stage 1 (complete): This stage involves changing the color style and the logo used in our official Aptivi assets, such as our website, our blog, and our products’ API documentation sites.
    • Stage 2 (complete): This stage describes the hardest part of all, which is the complete structural redesign of just about all the assets, except for the API documentation.
    • Stage 3: This stage talks about our intent of releasing the final package using the brand new logos and colors, and making it include the official press kit and the Affinity Studio v3 + SVG source files (for those who prefer scaled versions), after finalizing the logo usage policies.

    We will work on Stage 3 in parallel with Terminaux 8.1 and Nitrocid 0.2.0 to make sure that our press kit is finalized by the end of Stage 3. Once the press kit has finalized, we’ll release it under an extractable ZIP file to maintain cross-platform support.

  9. Aptivi branding redesign stage 1 complete

    We have now applied the color accents that were also showcased in this article. After that, we’ve discussed how we’re going to rollout this new design to various assets, such as the website and the blog. Stage 1 of the rollout is now complete, and we have successfully rolled out the new design for the website, the blog, and the API documentation.

    As our excitement about this news branding is already high, here’s the clear and concise rollout timeline that we’ll go through by the end of February 12th, 2026:

    • Stage 1 (complete): This stage involves changing the color style and the logo used in our official Aptivi assets, such as our website, our blog, and our products’ API documentation sites.
    • Stage 2: This stage describes the hardest part of all, which is the complete structural redesign of just about all the assets, except for the API documentation.
    • Stage 3: This stage talks about our intent of releasing the final package using the brand new logos and colors, and making it include the official press kit and the Affinity Studio v3 + SVG source files (for those who prefer scaled versions), after finalizing the logo usage policies.

    The second stage is the hardest of all, and it involves a complete structural redesign of all the assets found in both the blog and the website, which requires careful planning and implementation. All of this will have to be taken into account, which will be time-consuming, because high quality redesigns require time to cook in the oven. We don’t want to distribute half-baked assets, applications, and other high-quality program.

    Are you excited for the New Year 2026?

  10. Aptivi branding redesign stages

    We have earlier showcased the new Aptivi branding, and we’ve now applied the color accents that were also showcased in this article. After that, we’ve discussed how we’re going to rollout this new design to various assets, such as the website and the blog.

    Major redesigns like this are time-consuming, because we have to preserve our own branding values, while also entering to a new dimension, which is a pathway to a new modernity that better describes the “Prism of the Tech Future.” When we’ve entered this dimension, this means that we’ve successfully managed to preserve those values while making a redesigned logo we’ve showcased.

    As our excitement about this news branding is already high, here’s the clear and concise rollout timeline that we’ll go through by the end of February 12th, 2026:

    • Stage 1: This stage is already in progress as of the time of writing, and it involves changing the color style and the logo used in our official Aptivi assets, such as our website, our blog, and our products’ API documentation sites.
    • Stage 2: This stage describes the hardest part of all, which is the complete structural redesign of just about all the assets, except for the API documentation.
    • Stage 3: This stage talks about our intent of releasing the final package using the brand new logos and colors, and making it include the official press kit and the Affinity Studio v3 + SVG source files (for those who prefer scaled versions), after finalizing the logo usage policies.

    Today, the blog has been updated to use the new color palettes, which is progress in itself. Tomorrow, we’ll update the site to use the new branding assets and to use the new color palettes. On December 31st, the API documentation will be updated sequentially as a staged, controlled rollout, and will be live in their respective GitHub Pages sites.

    Are you excited for the New Year 2026?
