Development Status

This is a personal repository based on the only extant source code I can find for CircleDock, which is this SourceForge page. I created the repository, cleaned up the existing code so that it can be compiled and run easily with modern versions of VS2019, and put it on GitHub. While I can say with certainty that there were more advanced versions of this software available online in the past, I cannot find any freely available source code newer than this, and because of that, cannot comment on features that CircleDock did or did not have at some point. I am not going to decompile code written by someone else and put it onto GitHub. I can promise that all of the commits that I create are based on my own work, and not on any code newer than what is found here.

That being said, there is a compiled version of 0.9.2 alpha 8 available from the same SourceForge page with code that is more complete than the code in this repository. The code in this repository is only barely functional.

As of Sept 30, 2020, I have tried to contact the email addresses listed at the WikiDot site to ask what, if anything, I need to do to continue development without getting into legal trouble. If I receive a response, I will place it here.
