FreeFrame 1.0 Release
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=299439
Well after a lot of work, we're there - public release of FreeFrame 1.0
- the new realtime video effects plugin format for VJ software. FreeFrame allows plugin developers to develop one plugin that will work in a variety of video programs. Today's FreeFrame release coincides with the release of versions of VJamm and Resolume featuring native support for the standard. We are also releasing today plugin developer kits for C++ and Pascal developers, in addition to sample host code for application developers wishing to support the standard. For more general info on FreeFrame please visit the FreeFrame website: http://www.freeframe.org ... and for technical info / downloads the SourceForge FreeFrame site: http://sourceforge.net/projects/freeframe/ The FreeFrame file release package at this address is the general windows download for FreeFrame 1.0 - this contains the latest versions of Petes Plugins - a fully featured FreeFrame plugin set from Pete Warden and the Resolume plugin pack. Watch out for further FreeFrame 1.0 releases over the coming months. http://www.vjammpro.com http://www.resolume.com http://www.petewarden.com Russell VJamm
Release 0.3.5 now available.
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=299671
The Anti-Spam SMTP Proxy (ASSP) Server project aims to create an open source platform-independent SMTP Proxy server which implements whitelists and Bayesian filtering to rid the planet of the blight of unsolicited email (UCE). This release fixes two bugs. One affects all servers that support the CHUNKING directive (specifically MS Exchange) and causes the truncation of the last 100 bytes of each message sent by another CHUNKING server. The second is a very minor bug that could reduce spam detection in some circumstances. All Exchange (or other CHUNKING server) users are recommended to upgrade immediately. To upgrade, simply replace assp.pl and rebuildspamdb.pl. (The docs are updated too.) Hopefully, this will be the last release before 1.0.0. https://sourceforge.net/projects/assp/ John
PCGen 5.3.3 is available
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=299732
PCGen is a Java-based RPG character generator and maintenance program
that works on all platforms (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, etc). All
datafiles are ASCII so they can be modified by users, and are available
through the pcgendm project. An XML conversion is underway. We're very
pleased to announce that with this release we now include Sword and
Sorcery's Relics and Rituals! Thanks to all the volunteers who put the
data together and to Tir Gwaith who saw it through to completion and
got the publisher's approval on it! Mac OS X users - if you quit PCGen
using close or quit, your preferences will not be saved. The preference
files are only saved if you use the File->Exit menu item to exit PCGen.
This is a java issue (our thanks to Conor for finding the reason for
this long-standing issue!) This is a rather significant release - the
monkeys have been busy since the last release! Read over the lists of
changes to see what all has changed, but I'd like to highlight a few of
them. A *drastic* improvement in speed has been effected by Jayme Cox,
with some assists from Frugal and Scott Ettelsworth. Jayme made use of
code Greg Binglemen put in there quite some time ago - and the results
are wonderful! Felipe and Frugal maintain the Output Sheets excellence
by squashing every single bug that has been reported and continuing to
give the output sheet monkeys new toys to play with! Jonas has moved us
to using the latest pdf generation libraries, which has made the output
sheet monkeys even happier! If you use the pdf character sheets (which
are way cool!) you will need to download an updated pdf library:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pcgen/pdf_new.zip?download unzip the
above library into your pcgen's lib folder. We hope to have the 3.5 SRD
(System Resource Document) ready for PCGen in 3-4 weeks. After that
time we will move PCGen to be based upon java 1.4, which means that
releases after that will require users to download java 1.4. We've been
encouraging users to install java 1.4 since it runs faster than java
1.3. Those on Mac OS 9, Mac OS X (10 - 10.1) will need to upgrade to
Mac OS X (10.2 or higher) in order for their machine to handle java
1.4. For users who have trouble getting the 3 zip files to unzip
properly, we have some OS-specific installs that should help minimize
the chance of install related errors. Links to these installs can be
found at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pcgen/files/Alternate%20PCGen%20Releases/
These are the same PCGen everyone else uses, just packaged with
installers which target Windows and Mac OS X users specifically.
Typically there is a lag between when the official release is done and
when these special installers are ready. We always recommend that users
install new versions of PCGen in a 'new' directory. Below is a list of
everything that has been addressed in this release. If you reported one
of these, please verify that it is was addressed properly. PCGen is
available at http://pcgen.sourceforge.net , and the main discussion
group is at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pcgen . If you wish to
discuss making your own custom lst files for use with PCGen, the data
monkeys have made their home at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pcgenlistfilehelp and they pride
themselves in being able to field all questions about the data - from
very basic to very advanced. All three zips are required to run PCGen:
pcgen533_part1of3.zip, pcgen533_part2of3.zip and pcgen533_part3of3.zip.

NUNit 2.1 Beta 2 Released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=299686
NUNit is a Unit-testing framework for all .Net languages. This release includes separate configuration files for use with .NET versions 1.0 and 1.1. Both versions are copied and the correct config for the current system is installed ready for use. A sample config file for use with tests built against NUnit 2.0 is included. Substantial changes have been made to error and exception reporting. The exception type is listed along with all inner exceptions. In the console runner, this includes a full stacktrace. The full trace for exceptions that are caught by the GUI runner is now available under the Tools | Exception Details... menu item. This release has been verified to install and run under Windows 98. The feature of watching for changes in the assemblies and reloading them automatically is disabled in this environment. We haven't tested under Windows ME, but believe it will work in that environment as well. https://www.sourceforge.net/projects/nunit
ai.planet v0.9.4 released!
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=299198
ai.planet is a virtual world for artificial intelligence. Developers can study and visualize algorithms in a versatile 3D environment. Version 0.9.4 Released August 5th 2003 http://aiplanet.sourceforge.net This new version of ai.planet includes multicolored trees, that evolve over time by producing varied fruits, which are randomly mutated by small degrees. Improved creature AI gives new predator/prey relationships. Interface improvements include a tool repeat button, jump button, new features on the populations form. There is a new Move tool to pick up objects with the mouse, reposition them, and throw them. Although the Ladybugs aren't always successful, if they are given a good environment they can last indefinitely, as this population survived well over 2.5 million ticks. Birds are now better at mating, and Hawks are better at catching the birds. Note: There is no selection pressure on the tree color, so they can and will change into any color. Also be aware of the known bugs, if you find a new one please report it. http://aiplanet.sourceforge.net

Will Classic Games Disappear Forever?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/08/08/1544238
Knightfall writes "Who doesn't remember pumping tons of quarters into
games like Joust and Tron? I shudder at the thought of what could have
become of that large quantity of money. Well, it seems remembering
those games may soon be all that is left. As companies are dropping
support, but not property rights to our old favorites, many are in
danger of vanishing forever. There are a few trying to prevent this
though. An article in [0]Wired tells a little about it. I for one still
find these games, on a pure gameplay level, better than most anything
out there currently. What can we do to prevent them from no longer
being available?"

Free Software as a Public Good
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/08/08/142255
[0]acone asks: "Have any national governments taken measures to
subsidize open source projects? I'm aware that many have endorsed Linux
in particular, and free software in general, but I was wondering about
actual funding. I ask because the notion of a good built and maintained
by the community almost inevitably suggests that such be treated as a
public good. Many of the public goods we now take for granted--such as
police, public libraries, and public fire departments--were
historically provided either by private enterprises or by
loosely-organized volunteers, neither of which have proven nearly as
effectively for the common goods as their current government-run
equivalents. An excellent example is the organization of the police
force, libraries and fire department in colonial Philadelphia, in which
these services became established in a very grassroots manner, then
gradually gained acceptance as something that the state should provide.
This pattern looks temptingly applicable to free software. In addition
to the current, community-based mechanisms in which free software is
developed, wouldn't it be beneficial to have dedicated groups of
professional free software developers, paid by national governments to
serve the overall interests of society? Seems to me like such would be
a Good Thing."

[2]Wired magazine article, the United States' largest food companies

radio identification devices by portraying the technology as an
essential tool for keeping the nation's food supply safe from
terrorists. This will give them blanket immunity from all law suits
related to the product."
