Tcl/Tk 8.4.3 release
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=278739

Can we help you?X

    Tool Command Language (Tcl) is an interpreted language and very     portable interpreter for that language. Tcl is embeddable and     extensible, and has been widely used since its creation in 1988 by John     Ousterhout. The Tcl Core Team is pleased to announce the 8.4.3 releases     of the Tcl scripting language and the Tk toolkit. This is the third     patch release of Tcl/Tk 8.4. Tcl/Tk 8.4.3 Release Announcement May 20,     2003 The Tcl Core Team is pleased to announce the 8.4.3 releases of the     Tcl scripting language and the Tk toolkit. This is the third patch     release of Tcl/Tk 8.4. More details can be found below. We would like     to express our gratitude to all those who submit bug reports and     patches. This information is invaluable in enabling us to identify and     eliminate problems in the core. Where to get the new releases:

  • Tcl/Tk 8.4.3 sources are freely available as open source from the Tcl Developer Xchange web site at: http://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/8.4.html This web page also contains additional information about the releases, including new features and notes about installing and compiling the releases. Sources are always available from the Tcl SourceForge project's file distribution area: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10894 Windows, Linux, Solaris and HP-UX binaries are available from: http://www.activestate.com/Tcl For additional information:
    • Please visit the Tcl Developer Xchange web site: http://www.tcl.tk/ This site contains a variety of information about Tcl/Tk in general, the core Tcl and Tk distributions, Tcl development tools, and much more. Thank you for your contributions:
      • As usual, this release includes contributions from the Tcl community. We have a page honoring these contributors at: http://www.tcl.tk/software/tcltk/contributors.html Summary of Changes since Tcl/Tk 8.4.2:
        • The following were the main changes in Tcl/Tk 8.4.3. A complete list can be found in the changes file at the root of the source tree. The more complete ChangeLog is also included with each source release. This is a patch release, so it primarily included bug fixes and corrections to erratic behavior. Below are only the most notable changes. * Correct case-insensitive unicode string comparison in Tcl_UniCharNcasecmp * Corrected loading of tclpip8x.dll on Win9x * Correct Tcl_SubstObj handling of \x00 bytes * Correct wide int issues in 'format' * Remove assumption that file times and longs are the same size * Allow Tcl to differentiate between reparse points which are symlinks and mounted drives on Windows * Bad command count on TCL_OUT_LINE_COMPILE * Store pointers to notifier funcs in a struct to work around some platform linker issues * Load correct (non-)debug dll for dde or registry * Fixing ObjMakeUpvar's lookup algorithm for the created local variable * Make sure that tclWideIntType is defined and somewhat sensible everywhere * Corrected inconsistent results of [string is integer] observed on systems where sizeof(long) != sizeof(int) * Substantial changes to the Windows clock synch phase-locked loop in a quest for improved loop stability * Made changes so that the "wideInt" Tcl_ObjType is defined on all platforms, even those where TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG is defined. Also made the Tcl_Value struct have a wideValue field on all platforms. Potential incompatibility for TCL_WIDE_INT_IS_LONG platforms because that struct changes size *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY *** * Catch any errors returned by the Windows functions handling TLS ASAP instead of waiting to get some mysterious crash later on due to bogus pointers * Correct
          'glob -path {[tcl]} *', where leading special character instead lists
          files in '/'. Bug only occurs on Windows where '\' is also a directory separator. * Fixed memory leak in threaded allocator on Windows caused by treating cachePtr as a TLS index * Ensure cd is thread-safe * Correct mem leak on closing a Windows serial port * Prevent string repeat crash when overflow sizes were given * Worked around the issue of realpath() not being thread-safe on Mac OS X by defining NO_REALPATH for threaded builds on Mac OS X * Correct handling of the gb2312 encoding by making it an alias of the euc-cn encoding and creating a gb2312-raw encoding for the original. Most uses of gb2312 really mean euc-cn. * Corrected another putenv() copy behavior problem when compiling on Windows and using Microsoft's runtime * Stop buttons from being very wide when a tk_messageBox has a lot of content on Unix * Fixed crash in [winfo server] on Mac OS X * Correct compound button display in the disabled state * Correct crash when generating postscript for a single-line polygon (point) with no color * Updated French message catalog * Use gb2312-raw as the alias for gb2312* charset fonts on unix -- Tcl Core Team and Maintainers Jeff Hobbs, Tcl Core Release Manager

SCons 0.14 adds Java support, Autoconf-like functionality http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=279029

    SCons alpha release 0.14 is now available for download. SCons is a     software construction tool (build tool, or substitute for Make)     implemented in Python, based on the winning design in the Software     Carpentry build tool competition (in turn based on the Cons build     tool). This release most notably adds support for Java builds (javac,     javah, rmic and jar), and adds integrated Autoconf-like functionality     for finding #include files and libraries. This release also contains     significant performance improvements from previous releases. IMPORTANT:     Release 0.14 contains the following interface changes: - Tool     specifications no longer take a "platform" argument. - Emitter     functions in Builders are now passed Node objects, not strings, for all     targets and sources. - New TargetSignatures() and SourceSignatures()     functions have been added to replace SetBuildSignatureType() and     SetContentSignatureType(). - The Export() function and the exported     variables argument of SConscript() now search for variables using the     same rules as Python: local first, then global. - The SetJobs() and     GetJobs() functions have been deprecated in favor of using     SetOption('num_jobs', num) and GetOption('num_jobs'). - Callable     expansions of construction variables in a command line now take a     fourth "for_signature" argument that is set when the expansion is being     called to generate a build signature. - Construction variables for     building a target are now frozen when the Builder is called; later     changes to the Environment do not necessarily affect how the target is     build. See the release notes for more information about these changes.     This release adds the following features: - Support for the Java tools     javac, javah, rmic and jar has been added. - A Configure() function has     been added that supports a lot of functionality similar to Autoconf. -     A new PLATFORM construction variable stores a string representing the     platform on which SCons is being run. - Dependencies may now be     specified on in-core Python values. - Help text can now be sorted     arbitrarily. - New $TARGET and $SOURCE attributes: ".posix" expands to     a path name with forward slashes as separators, even on Win32 systems;     ".srcpath" expands to a path to the source of a file in a BuildDir;     ".srcdir" expands to a path to the BuildDir itself. - A new clear()     method resets a Node's state for re-use by continuous integration build     interfaces. - Support for using Ghostscript to convert Postscript to     PDF files has been added. - A stand-alone "Alias" function has been     added. - Import('*') will now import everything that's been Export()ed.

  • New SetOption() and GetOption() functions support setting and fetching various command-line options within an SConscript file. - The Tool() function now adds tool names to a $TOOLS variable, which may be used to examine what tools are available. - The C preprocessor "#import" statement is now supported. - Newly-built .dll files can now be registered with the Windows registry using regsvr32. - An IDL scanner has been added. - A builder for Windows type library (.tlb) files from IDL files. The following fixes have been added: - Cygwin fixes: Use the .dll extension for shared libraries; don't use -fPIC when compiling shared libraries; use 'rm' to remove files; use MSVC '@' syntax for linking long command-lines. - The SYSTEMROOT environment variable on Win32 systems is now automatically propagated to the execution ENV environment. - Remote CVS file names are now checked out using Posix-style path names. - Trying to expand an out-of-range subscript for a construction variable like $TARGETS or $SOURCES now interpolates the null string. - SCons now correctly links or duplicates files in subsidiary BuildDir() directories. - SCons now reports "Cleaning targets ..." when the -c option is used. - The "Entering directory" message now quotes the directory name exactly like Make does. - Export() now works correctly for local Python variables, and can accept a dictionary as an argument. - PDB files now get put in a BuildDir() correctly. Performance has been improved as follows: - Unnecessary redundant signature calculations for command lines and Nodes have been eliminated. Development tests suggest this may speed up builds up to 30% or more.

Python 2.2.3 rc 1
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=279300

    The first and hopefully only release candidate for Python 2.2.3 is now     out. See http://www.python.org/2.2.3 for details. We expect Python     2.2.3 final to be released within a week of this announcement.

DocBook XSL Stylesheets V1.61.2 released http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=279457

    Major bug fix for 1.61.1 and accumulated enhancements and fixes from     previous releases.

TuxTyping 1.5.0 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=277737

Can't find what you're looking for?X

    After over a year of development with no releases, we are pleased to     present Tux Typing 2 "Preview" release. Most of the internals have been     rewritten with a focus on extensibility and internationalization.     Creating a language pack is now as simple as creating a file for     translations (lang.po file), maybe finding a font [1], setting up how     the keyboard maps to the characters [2], and finally creating some word     lists. TuxTyping is an educational typing tutorial game for children     starring Tux, the Linux Penguin. It is graphical and requires SDL. It     is free software copyrighted under the Gnu GPL. There is a new style of     game "Comet Zap" and the start of tutor components with the new     "Practice" mode. We really look forward to getting feedback about what     parents/teachers/students/kids think about the new work. This release     has a few rough edges, but we feel that it is time to let the world see     what has been happening with Tux Typing. We have forums, mailing lists,     and most importantly windows and linux builds are available at     http://tuxtype.sf.net We are already hard at work at 1.5.1 and hope to     have it released soon making it even easier for translators and users!     Thanks, Jesse Andrews - jdandr2@uky.edu Calvin Arndt -     calarndt@tux4kids.net Notes: [1] We are using a font that has support     for many languages (Dansk, English, French, Spanish, ...) So if the     included font works with your language, you don't need to find a new     font. [2] for instance in the default (English) language pack, we set     up the game so if the student presses 'A' or 'a' it both works for "A".

JGraph Geneva (v2.1.1) released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=275839

JGraphpad Salamance (v2.1.1 RC3) released http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=276899

    JGraphpad is the first free diagram editor for Java that offers XML,     Drag and Drop and much more. This release (Salamance) offers full     TikiWiki integration, remote diagrams and libraries, custom cell     properties, overview with panner, right-button panning, accepts files,     urls, images and text via clipboard/drag and drop, exports GXL to     clipboard, new graph explorer tool with automatic layout, enhanced GXL     import, image export, and major and minor bug fixes, such as incorrect     cell order after grouping, slow painting and Mac OS X, and status bar     not working.

AOLserver 4.0 beta 6 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=276881

The Changing Definition Of 'Kilogram'
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/05/27/023252

    [0]DrLudicrous writes "The NYTimes is reporting that the     platinum-iridium standard mass for the kilogram is [1]shedding at an     appreciable rate -- at least compared to other reference masses. The     Pt-Ir cylinder is kept in France, and measured annually, and the slight     discrepancy is important because the kg is an SI base unit- thus other     quantities such as the Volt are based on it. A new standard is being     sought- the two frontrunners are counting the number of atoms in a     perfectly spherical single crystal of silicon, and another technique     uses a device known as the Watt balance."

Investigating Artificial Black Holes
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/05/27/0130257

Confused? Frustrated?X

    Robber Baron writes "I remember years ago watching a cartoon in which     an inventor had managed to create 'portable holes.' Now along those     lines, according to [0]this story in the [1]Christian Science Monitor,     scientists are on the threshhold of developing the 'do-it-yourself     black hole' (Well, no, it's not quite do-it yourself as you need a     pretty large collider to pull it off.) They're hoping to use the new     [2]Large Hadron Collider at the [3]European Center for Nuclear Research     to create many tiny black holes and observe the Hawking Effect as they     dissipate. Keep your shotgun handy though, as they are more than likely     going to open up a portal into another dimension and all sorts of     nasties are going to come pouring out." Links

E.U. Agrees To Launch Galileo Satellite Location System http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/05/26/2335202

    waimate writes "The European Union [0]today decided to go ahead with     Galileo, the constellation of 30 satellites which will compete with the     U.S. GPS system. The U.S. abolished [1]selective availability three     years ago partly to make GPS more useful for all mankind, but also to     dissuade other countries from developing their own navigational     satellite system, and thus be dependant on the U.S. for both peaceful     and military purposes. Since the demise of the Russian [2]GLONASS     system, GPS is the only game in town. Evidently recent events make     Europe feel less comfortable about such things, and so they're building     their own. Good thing for commercialization of space, or bad thing for     world peace?"
