DS developer Ant512 is sending out word that the Woopsi developer’s kit has just been updated to version 0.25. If you’re a first-time reader wondering what this is, Woopsi is a GUI development library patterned after the AmigaOS windowing system. Ant512 built Woopsi to give fellow DS coders a means of creating their own user interface (UI) for their homebrew projects. As for the changelog since version 0.24 (the previous release):
