Nitrocid 0.1.2 has officially become EOL

Nitrocid 0.1.2, which was released on February 2025, has ended its official support as of February 12th of this year. When Nitrocid 0.2.0 gets released, this means that we have ended support for Nitrocid 0.1.2 as we move forward.

Nitrocid 0.1.2 provided more features, such as SMultivar, Pomodoro timer, commands, and much more, alongside many improvements that were shipped with this version of the simulator. It was a third major release for the 0.1.x version series that came after 0.1.1 and 0.1.0.

If you want to continue getting official support, consider these two methods:

• Upgrade to Nitrocid 0.2.0, taking breaking changes into account.
• Downgrade to Nitrocid 0.1.0, but with all updates applied, such as Nitrocid 0.1.0 Service Pack 6.

Users who continue using Nitrocid 0.1.2 will no longer get official support, and updates will officially end at version 0.1.2.33. This means that no security updates will be made for this version.

Nitrocid 0.1.0 Service Pack 6 announcement

The release of Nitrocid 0.2.0 has just happened, but all of that is not enough for this huge milestone.

Today, we are announcing the availability of the sixth service pack of Nitrocid 0.1.0! This service pack is not a small collection of bug fixes, but it’s a massive transformation!

We have integrated all features of 0.1.2, especially the best features that made it to that version when we first released it! This was done as part of our plan to make continuity possible with the addition of all the features from that version, with our promise that bug fixes related to those features will be made.

Nitrocid 0.1.0 Service Pack 6 is now available, but we’ll need to remind you of the hot features that Nitrocid 0.1.2 provided.

Modern design

Nitrocid KS 0.1.2 used Terminaux 6.1 to provide you with a modern design that aligns with today’s standards. This service pack uses Terminaux 8.1 to integrate many improvements made to ensure that you get the speediest experience yet. Instead of using non-curved rectangles in borders, we’ve used the curved borders in rectangles to make every single interactive TUI, be it The Nitrocid Homepage or the interactive settings TUI, more attractive than before. This uses the appropriate Unicode character set to render those curved corners.

More TUIs

We have added more interactive TUIs that allow you to use your favorite things more easily, such as the following interactives:

• FTP
• SFTP
• Mail manager
• Mod manager

In addition to that, we’ve made improvements to the existing TUIs, such as the live timezones that refresh every second in the left selection pane. TUIs will continue to be improved in future Nitrocid and Terminaux releases as they closely interface with each other.

Packaging improvements

We had introduced the Windows Installer, powered by the WiX 5.x toolset, as we are making experiences more intuitive during the development of 0.1.2. In addition to that, we had introduced support for PKGBUILD files, and they’re available in the Arch Linux AUR. Nitrocid 0.1.0 Service Pack 6 continues to offer both the Windows Installer package for Windows users and the Arch Linux AUR package that you can install with your AUR helper in an Arch Linux installation.

Nitrocid 0.1.0 Service Pack 6 is now available for download. Try it out today; we’re open to feedback!

Reviving old Nitrocid Documentation

While we are gathering information about how we plan to finalize the documentation for the upcoming Nitrocid release, we’ve discovered an interesting way to revive the old Nitrocid documentation. Before we get into details into how we did it, here’s some background information about the original Nitrocid documentation.

When version 0.0.6 was still in development, we did it as part of the executable using embedded resources. You can see the resultant “manual page” files here, before the migration to GitHub Wiki started at around 2019 before the release of 0.0.8. The documentation then stayed on GitHub Wiki until 2022, when we had planned to move the docs to DocFX during the development of 0.0.23.x.

However, during development of 0.0.24.x, we’ve discovered that the documentation needed a rework, and that libraries at the time had no documentation. The only documentation that was provided at the time was the API docs, and that, in our opinion, wasn’t enough, because the API docs don’t usually provide detailed information about the functionality of the library.

So, when 2023 started, we’ve begun a project that focuses on a complete rewrite of the Nitrocid documentation, which was part of our plan of the Nitrocid 0.1.0 release. During the beta release, we’ve brought the GitBook documentation online. That was after careful choosing of the documentation frameworks: whether to continue using DocFX or to switch to another doc framework (GitBook, Read The Docs, etc.) was our question.

Modernity of our docs and simplification of our workflow was our requirements, and GitBook has been carefully chosen after considering its capabilities. The current GitBook documentation can be found here. This migration has caused us to shut down the Wiki section in our GitHub as we were telling people that the migration was done.

Fast forward to today, as we no longer have backups of the old wiki for versions 0.0.23.x and older, we’ve decided to run a Git clone on the Wiki repository of Nitrocid to check to see if we can fetch them. Here’s the command:

 $ git clone https://github.com/Aptivi/Nitrocid.wiki.git 

Instead of getting an error or getting an empty repository, we got a full history of the wiki that was active from 2019 to 2022. This gave us a brand new project to do during the “Final Touches” stage of 0.2.0 as part of the documentation preservation project under the Archived Manuals GitHub organization, making February 12th the biggest milestone yet.

We will study the structure of the commits and release archived documentation under GitBook when each version is discovered. This release is going to be asynchronous to the 0.2.0 release plan.

We have learned that when you disable the Wiki on GitHub, the repository that contains the wiki itself won’t be deleted. For example, deactivating Nitrocid’s Wiki section on GitHub won’t remove the Nitrocid.wiki.git repository. Therefore, this is done on purpose to make restoration easier, in case you ever want to turn the Wiki section back on.

To clone the wiki repository when the Wiki section is disabled, just run this command:

 $ git clone https://github.com/<owner>/<repo>.wiki.git 

You can interact with it just like any other Git repository.

Final reminder for Nitrocid 0.1.2 EOL

As Nitrocid 0.2.0 becomes closer to the final release, we’re here to remind you that Nitrocid 0.1.2, which was released on February 2025, will end its official support on February 12th of this year. When Nitrocid 0.2.0 gets released, this means that we have ended support for Nitrocid 0.1.2 as we move forward.

Nitrocid 0.1.2 provided more features, such as SMultivar, Pomodoro timer, commands, and much more, alongside many improvements that were shipped with this version of the simulator. It was a third major release for the 0.1.x version series that came after 0.1.1 and 0.1.0.

Nitrocid 0.2.0 has entered the final touches stage!

Nitrocid 0.2.0, which is an anticipated release of the next major version of Nitrocid after v0.1.0 version series that provides a plethora of improvements and new features, has finally entered the “Final Touches” stage! We are very close to the final release of Nitrocid 0.2.0 and Terminaux 8.1, while the latter comes after to tomorrow! We are very excited to have moved forward to this level, because without Terminaux, none of this would have been possible.

Nitrocid 0.2.0 has one goal: to make the user interface more useful and more modern with the help of the new features that Terminaux 7.0, 8.0, and 8.1 provided. The development of 0.1.3 had introduced a shift that led to the release of the technical preview of 0.2.0, which provided the “core” of the release. Since then, the release candidate focused on adding new features while providing existing improvements, and the final release finishes the mission of being feature-complete. The release candidate now looks like this:

We believe in transparency, so we’ve provided the live release plan project that is available on GitHub as per this link.

The final touches stage starts today, and we’re working on fixing as many bugs as possible to ensure that we release 0.2.0 in the cleanest way possible!

We are still firm on the release date, and it’s February 12th, assuming that things go smoothly when the final updates and bug fixes are done to the final release. In the past announcements of Nitrocid 0.2.0, we announced the date several times, and it felt far. Now, it’s getting closer and closer as we’re maintaining the final touches to Nitrocid 0.2.0 and finalizing its changelogs, which is expected to be done by the end of January.

We will not move the date forward to ensure that many last-minute bugs are fixed, especially due to the breaking nature that Terminaux 8.1 provides over Terminaux 8.0.

Get Ready for Nitrocid 0.2.0!

We have been working on Nitrocid 0.2.0 since early February of the last year, when we were planning to release it as 0.1.3, which was another patch release on top of the 0.1.0 series. Changes made to the kernel and to the build system led to changing the plan for the release to 0.2.0, which will be released on February 12th.

Right now, we are at the last few stages for this version of Nitrocid, which means that we are now preparing for the final release to make sure that any last-minute bug are caught. This has now become a priority to make a gateway towards the stable final release, which will be worked on.

Here are some of the features that will make it to the final release of Nitrocid 0.2.0:

Terminaux 8.1

In the tech preview release of Nitrocid 0.2.0, we were fixated on making sure that the latest version of Terminaux was used. Our plan went fine, so we went ahead to create Terminaux 8.0 for the release candidate and Terminaux 8.1 for the final release. While Terminaux 8.1 still didn’t get released, we are just a few days away from releasing it, making sure that Nitrocid 0.2.0 gets released with this version of Terminaux.

This incorporates major improvements that happened between Terminaux 6.1 and 8.1, from performance enhancements and rendering improvements to API cleanups and input system refinements. All of this were important for Nitrocid 0.2.0, and this version wouldn’t have happened without Terminaux 7.0, 8.0, and 8.1.

Widget Canvas

Widget canvas is now available in both your login screen and your home screen, which lets you make infinite number of pages of widgets to get more information effortlessly. Signing in to your Nitrocid account is not required to obtain this amount of information, so you can take a look at more than just date and time.

Widgets have also been improved with support for a variety of widgets, including RSS feeds, date, time, decorative widgets like text, and custom widgets that your mods use. This takes customization, along with a redesigned The Nitrocid Homepage, to a whole new level.

Two-factor authentication

Additionally, Nitrocid 0.2.0 now lets users set up two-factor authentication to install an extra layer of security to the user. This allows users to set up a second login factor so that they get prompted for the six-digit PIN each time they sign in to their user account, provided that they’ve logged in with the correct password.

The implementation of the two-factor authentication feature supports major authentication apps, such as Google Authenticator and Authy, and you can easily generate QR code for you to be able to set it up right from your phone, whether it’s running Android or iOS.

Many more

There are many more features that were added to Nitrocid 0.2.0, and we are awaiting the day of the release to excite you with the huge milestone that’s going to define the history of Nitrocid!

Nitrocid 0.1.0.64 and 0.1.2.30 released!

After a large gap between now and the last patch released for the two supported series, version 0.1.0.x and 0.1.2.x, we’ve now released Nitrocid 0.1.0.64 and 0.1.2.30. They bring general improvements and introduce support for .NET 10.0 to benefit from the improvements that were included after .NET 8.0. To align with our goals for the release candidate of the upcoming Nitrocid, we’ve released those two updated versions of Nitrocid to ensure that migration of your mods becomes smoother.

Those two versions of Nitrocid not only add support for .NET 10.0, but also utilizes the latest version of the framework, which means that you can now finally use features of .NET 10.0 that weren’t there in the older .NET. It also adds long-awaited fixes for some of the most critical bugs, such as the remote procedure call function not working properly and a fix for the character leak bug in splashes.

We’ve decided to build those two versions of Nitrocid against .NET 10.0 to make them as the “launchpad” of the migration of your mods to API version 4.0, whose release candidate will be released on December 25th. Most of your settings, when upgrading to Nitrocid 0.2.0 RC, will be moved over, as most of them are backwards compatible, though not all of them. For example, speed dial settings will require manual configuration changes to preserve the sites.

Generally, Nitrocid 0.1.0.64 will include the following changes that are not limited to:

• Migrated the framework to .NET 10.0
• Fixed unit tests being stuck due to the splash screen function
• Updated Terminaux

Nitrocid 0.1.2.30 also contains the following changes:

• Migrated the framework to .NET 10.0
• Fixed unit tests being stuck due to the splash screen function
• Fixed some TUIs not starting

We apologize for the lack of updates regarding the state of both Nitrocid 0.1.0 and 0.1.2, but it was out of our control when we had to wait for .NET 10.0 to be released to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Noble Numbat for the PPA build. Now, we are back on track!

Nitrocid 0.2.0 will let you add and edit contacts!

We are currently working on the next generation version of Nitrocid KS, and introducing features to this version of Nitrocid is something that we’re working on in preparation for the release candidate, which is expected to come as early as December 25th, 2025 and as late as the last week of January 2026. We are fully confident that the release candidate will excite you by introducing a whole new set of features that will truly make Nitrocid KS in your style.

One of those features that we’re working on is the ability to add and edit the contacts. The contacts manager TUI has earned a new feature that supports adding and editing the contacts, and it makes your job easier than never before. Before, it was a read-write yellow pages for your contact numbers, just like shown below:

In the 0.1.0 version of Nitrocid, there was a way to import contacts, but there was no way to directly add new contacts and edit existing contacts within this TUI. VisualCard, back then, didn’t support adding and editing card items. Now, we’ll utilize all the VisualCard features to support this feature, just like your regular contacts app on your phone.

Starting from 0.2.0, you can add a new contact by pressing A in the main screen of the contacts TUI. From there, a new contact will be made and an infobox will open, allowing you to perform edits on the brand new contact. You can add new information, edit them, and delete them. You can also edit existing contacts by pressing F11 on a contact you wish to edit, as well as F12 to save the contacts list.

For convenience, we’ve added automatic saving for your contacts when confirming the edits on any of the contacts, including addition, editing, and removal. This makes sure that you don’t hesitate to exit the contacts manager immediately after you edit one of the contacts.

The release candidate of Nitrocid 0.2.0 will be released in the abovementioned date range.

Nitrocid meets .NET 10.0!

.NET 10.0 is now live this week, and we are in the process of migrating Nitrocid to this version of the framework. This makes Nitrocid benefit from new features and many more improvements that make this program better than ever. This migration is important to shape up the next generation of Nitrocid that will succeed the API versions v3.0 and v3.1.

We have migrated the main branch of Nitrocid KS to this version of .NET in preparation for the final release, and this main branch tracks this next generation version that will be released early next year. However, this may be too much for the mod authors who aren’t ready to migrate to .NET 10.0 yet.

We feel it, so we’ve decided to create a new version of Nitrocid 0.1.0.x and 0.1.2.x that will upgrade the codebase to .NET 10.0 while fixing test-related bugs and issues along the way. This is to let the mod authors get the time to migrate their mods to .NET 10.0 before we release the next generation Nitrocid KS.

You will be able to take advantage of .NET 10.0 features that are introduced, such as the new C# 14.

The new versions are currently pending release, and we are awaiting the .NET 10.0 packages to land to the Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Noble Numbat or later (#2130891) for the Nitrocid KS Ubuntu PPA, with no estimated timeline as to when. Once they get released, we will release those versions.

Development of Nitrocid 0.2.0 starts!

The official development of Nitrocid 0.2.0 didn’t start officially, and we were preparing for Terminaux 7.0, which we’ve released to empower the fastest implementation of the terminal library yet, while being full of useful features. We are very excited to announce that the official development of Nitrocid KS 0.2.0 has really started.

Nitrocid KS 0.2.0 will bring many features that will completely transform the user experience in ways that you’ve never seen before. Improvements will also land to the final release to reduce the number of bugs and to integrate several improvements to different areas.

Nitrocid KS 0.2.0 will be released early next year, if everything goes well, with the only release candidate expected in January of the next year. We are grateful that we’ve opened the source of Nitrocid KS for developers to test the current state of the v0.2.0 and to report bugs and feature suggestions.

Please note that we now require Visual Studio 2026 Insiders and .NET 10.0 RC1 SDK to build Nitrocid KS 0.2.0.

Nitrocid 0.1.0 Service Pack 5 and 0.1.2 Service Pack 2 released!

We are finally excited to announce two service pack versions of Nitrocid KS after a long time, and those versions upgrade 0.1.0.x to the fifth service pack with some improvements regarding the splash, while also upgrading the 0.1.2.x series to the second (and the last) service pack that brings in quality of life improvements.

Today, we are excited to announce their availability under the 0.1.0.59 and the 0.1.2.25 versions, which can be downloaded in their own section here. The development of 0.2.0 didn’t start yet, but we are in the process of starting it up as we shift our plans to the next-gen version, with no specific ETA for the development start. However, we promise that 0.2.0 will be the biggest release series after the 0.1.0.x series that started in March 2024.

Nitrocid 0.1.0 Service Pack 5

The fifth service pack of 0.1.0 is under the 0.1.0.59 version, further enhanced by the 0.1.0.60 version we’ve released yesterday to update the OpenMoji emoticons from version 15.0 to 16.0 as you can see here. It brings in updated emoji icons, alongside newly added icons.

The fifth service pack contains the following changes:

• Made SetCursor*() functions modifiable
• Fixed splash closing
• Backported improvements from 0.1.2 for games
• Help shows usages in command list

This makes your user experience more natural and intuitive tha before, but, in the next service pack, it’s going to be quite huge in regards to changes, and the reasons are explained in the second service pack of 0.1.2.x.

You can download Nitrocid 0.1.0.60 here.

Nitrocid 0.1.2 Service Pack 2

As you can see, the Nitrocid 0.1.2.x version series has a new addition today, and that resembles the second service pack of this series, with 0.1.2.25 as the version. This version of Nitrocid brings the most important change, and we’ll explain it briefly below.

Terminaux 7.0 was released this August to bring many improvements in different areas of the library, including rendering images that became faster, making infoboxes that became more flexible, and managing shells that became more powerful than ever. Nitrocid 0.2.0 Tech Preview used Terminaux 7.0 to demonstrate those improvements with the necessary code refactors needed to align with the requirements.

We are excited to announce that Nitrocid 0.1.2 now uses Terminaux 7.0, and this dependency will be moved over to 0.1.0 as Nitrocid 0.1.2 becomes EOL in the middle of November. As a separate note, Terminaux 5.4.x will become EOL this September.

You can download Nitrocid 0.1.2.25 here.
