We've been working relentlessly the last six months ! We've been so busy the past 12 tipi releases we that we mostly didn't have time speak about the incredible progress and definitely newsworthy progress we have made towards a stable and awesome CMake Remote Build developer experience.

Last week we released v0.0.53 "Prolific Pronghorn" which is the best tipi release so far.

We now have the fastest 🚀 Windows MSVC builds (possibly on earth 🌍) by relying on a linux-based MSVC setup ( look-out for a lightning talk from us at the CppCon 2023 to learn what it takes to enable tipi build . -t linux-wine-msvc -j128 ).

With our latest release you can even run remote Windows builds from macOS M2 as we now support that scenario officially. And finally we made Ninja driven builds 🥷 the default.
