| JetBrains have decided to support boxes
with a free license for their C/C++ IDE CLion. That's really nice - thank you! |  |
Version 1.1.2 is out. Version 1.1.2 is only a maintenance release. There are no new features and no bug fixes, but a few new box designs and several changes to the way that boxes is built. So version 1.1.2 should be easier to build on more platforms.

The boxes website moved to GitHub. The address and all URLs stay the same, except that
.shtml extensions are now plain .html. The new website is based on Jekyll and features a responsive design by Scott Emmons.
Now we have the power of GitHub available for the website, too! Just check out the gh-pages branch to get going.
The boxes sources moved to GitHub!
This will hopefully make maintaining boxes much more efficient. Issues, feature requests, and contributions are now handled via GitHub. Also, development-related documentation will eventually be moved to GitHub. Everything else on this website stays the same for now.
Ron Aaron provided a Windows port of the current boxes version 1.1.1! Get it from the download page. Many thanks Ron Aaron! Thanks also go to boxes user Jared Cooperband, who tracked down Ron’s current contact details and convinced him to work on boxes again.
Version 1.1.1 is out. Version 1.1.1 is essentially a maintenance release which incorporated patches to the documentation by Salvatore Bonaccorso. There are no substantial changes to the code. See what’s new in the change log.
Boxes in the press: boxes was covered by nixCraft in an
article with video.

“boxes provides boundless entertainment.”That’s exaggerated, but very nice.
Version 1.1 is out. Version 1.1 is essentially a maintenance release, which solves all compilation and compatibility issues reported to the author. This mainly affected modern Linuxes. I took the opportunity to also apply all patches that had been submitted, and added tab handling options for leading tabs (see what’s new). Get it from the download page.
Now, I am looking for help with the binary distributions, which should be brought up to level 1.1. Any contributions are greatly appreciated!
A new code snapshot is available on the download page. Most notably, it includes Andreas Heiduk’s (@asheiduk) patch for compilation with present-day flexes.
