Last month, we presented SourceSquare - your free open source scanning engine. Today, we are proud to release an update of SourceSquare.

SourceSquare 1.1 contains mostly graphical improvements, and a few bug fixes that our users kindly complained about :

  • The waiting view is now much more dynamic
  • We display the number of files being scanned, and an estimation of the time left
  • In the treemap, the tooltip on each "square" now displays its number of files and number of open source files.
  • Some "squares" could not be clicked on to drill down and see the errors. (thank you Bob for noticing this!)

    Java 6 is not required any more: it now works with Java 5

This open source project is hosted on GitHub, so now you can browse all fixed issues for more details.

To see an example of what SourSquare looks like, check out the scan of our website with SourceSquare, which is based on Drupal and contains a lot of open source. (It is rated Open Source Jedi Knight!)

And then, download SourceSquare to run it on your own source code!
The installation is very simple: all you need is a Java Virtual Machine and an Internet connection. No registration required. Just download, run and find out if you are an open source freak or not!
