XOOPS 1.3.9 released!
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=261713
The XOOPS team is pleased to announce the release of XOOPS 1.3.9 If you
are already running XOOPS2 RC2 or a first time user, please read
http://www.xoops.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=700 This release
includes a number of security based enhancements which fix possible
cross site script and SQL injection vulnerabilities. Therefore all
1.3.8 users are STRONGLY ADVISED to upgrade as soon as possible. It
also includes an upgrade script that will modify one of the database
tables to enhance performance of database access. - Full Package
http://www.xoops.org/modules/mydownloads/viewcat.php?cid=16 For new
users that would like to use XOOPS 1.3.x for some reason instead of
XOOPS2 ;-). This package contains entire XOOPS 1.3.9 source and a
several number of language packages. - Patch Files
http://www.xoops.org/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?lid=341 ->
[tar.gz]
http://www.xoops.org/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?lid=342 ->
[zip] For those who already have XOOPS 1.3.8 running. This package
contains only the files that have been modified from XOOPS 1.3.8. To
upgrade from 1.3.8, overwrite the old files with the new ones, then

DataVision 0.7.4 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=261734
DataVision 0.7.4 is now available from SourceForge at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=33343 DataVision is an Open Source reporting tool similar to Crystal Reports. Reports can be designed using a drag-and-drop GUI. They may be run, viewed, and printed from the application or exported as HTML, XML, PDF, LaTeX2e, DocBook, or tab- or comma-delimited text files. The output files produced by LaTeX2e and DocBook can in turn be used to produce PDF, text, HTML, PostScript, and more. Changes: * Moved from MinML to MinML2 XML parser. * Output app version number when printing stack traces. * If a SQL table or column name can't be found, look for it again while ignoring schema names. * Stop running a report after the first Ruby script error. This way, you won't see the same error message over and over. Bug fixes: * Parameters, formulas, and user columns can now appear in suppression procs. * Fields, parameters, formulas, and user columns are now found within suppression procs or the report's startup script when a report is looking for them. This fixes a few related problems. * The suppression proc edit command now appears properly in the Undo and Redo Edit menu items.
GLE -- alpha blending in version 3.1.0
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=261419
GLE is a library of C functions that draw extruded surfaces, including
surfaces of revolution, sweeps, tubes, polycones, polycylinders and
helicoids. GLE uses the OpenGL(R) API to perform the actual rendering.
The new version 3.1.0 includes new varients of existing functions that
allow alpha-blending (transparency) to be used. Any subroutines that
used to take RGB arguments now have analogous *_c4f() versions that
take RGBA (alpha) colors. A simple demo showing alpha transparency can
be found in the examples/alpha.c file. Also in the 3.1.0 release: -- a
minor memory leak fix -- other minor, forgetable fixes You can get our
latest release here:

ToscanaJ 1.0 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=261403
After having tested the last release for a while on a workshop, we now consider the current version of ToscanaJ stable enough to be called a 1.0 release. Development will of course go on, but this version gives you a rather complete feature set for creating and deploying conceptual systems based on simple relational databases. The feature list esp. of ToscanaJ as the main viewer component exceeds what has been there before, hopefully opening new applications for Formal Concept Analysis. As usual you will find more information in the change log and release notes. A copy of our latest release can be found here: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=37081&release_id =143007

Increasing Fuel Mileage With Hydrogen?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/20/0232253
cr0sh asks: "I was recently looking into the costs and availabilty
associated with small, hydrogen fuel cells (results: they are still
expensive), when I came across this site about the [0]Hydrogen-Boost
[Warning: Pop-ups]. Looking at this site, it seemed like just another
in the long line of scamming 'get more mileage/power' engine products
out there, but it intrigued me enough to continue looking into it. I
eventually came upon another site on [1]hydrogen experiments. A little
more searching revealed this one about [2]constructing your own
Hydro-Boost device, which goes into detail about how you would build
such a system. None of these sites answered the big questions, however:
'does it work?', and 'if so, how well?'. I also wanted something a
little more authoritative. So, back to digging...which came up with
this [3]paper from OSTI [PDF]. The very first line of the abstract of
this paper reads 'It is well known that hydrogen addition to
spark-ignited (SI) engines can reduce exhaust emissions and increase
efficiency.' This paper seems to advance the notion that such a system
like the 'Hydrogen Boost' system may actually work. Does Slashdot think
such a system would work? If so, how it could be improved, especially
given today's rapidly rising gasoline prices, here in America?"

Making The GPL Easier For Companies To Swallow http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/20/012224
stupidNewbie writes "There is a new GPL "wrapper" gaining momentum on Capitol Hill. Dubbed O-STEP, the [0]Open Source Threshold Escrow Program allows vendors to license their products until so many millions are made, then agree to release the code under GPL. This sounds like a good bridge for companies looking to tap into the strengths of open source distribution." Starting from zero, it can certainly gain momentum quickly -- sounds like a good idea though. Links

ErfurtWiki is a small Wiki engine implemented in PHP which stores its pages in a MySQL database or via a flat file backend. The Wiki source parsing is rather complete but is very extensible. It stands out from other Wikis in that it does not define the whole page layout itself; instead it allows for very quick integration into an existing Web site.
