Turck MMCache for PHP version 2.4.0 is released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=312236
Turck MMCache is a PHP Accelerator, Optimizer, Encoder and Dynamic Content Cache. It increases performance of PHP scripts by caching them in compiled state, so that the overhead of compiling is almost completely eliminated. Also it uses some optimizations for speed up of PHP scripts execution. Turck MMCache typically reduces server load and increases the speed of your PHP code by 1-10 times. It has been tested with PHP 4.1.0 - 4.3.3 under Linux and Windows with Apache 1.3 and 2.0. Support for incomlete classes in mmcache_get() was implemented. Checking of proper PHP version was added. include('x.php'); include_once('x.php') bug with php-4.3.3 was fixed. Improper "Cannot redeclare ()" error was fixed. Caching of files with absolute path but without drive on Windows was fixed. This release was tested with PHP 4.3.3 and php5-200309021330.
Aqsis Renderer 0.8.0 (stable) available
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=312126

acx100 driver version 0.2.0pre2
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=312160
Open Source Linux driver for wireless network cards (DWL-520+ PCI, DWL-650+ CardBus, GL-2422MP mini-PCI etc.) that are based on the entirely undocumented Texas Instruments ACX100 chip, for modern kernel versions (2.4.x - 2.6.x). BSD support planned. Hi all, I just committed version 0.2.0pre2 of the driver. Changes since last version: 2003.09.21
- 0.2.0pre2 released - fix ringbuffer increment screwup - fix capability flags announcing: it's not particularly healthy to ask 11Mbps APs for PBCC support... - better handling of regulatory domains:
- scanning/association fixes for reported problem - read default regulatory domain setting from EEPROM - add missing unregister_netdev(), might eventually perhaps fix reported issue - improvements in the CardBus layer support - make link quality display show real percentage levels, not broken dBm levels (sorry, really couldn't find out how to convert values given to proper dBm!) - compile fixes for arm-linux (not tested yet due to lack of CardBus on iPAQ, but if someone implemented USB support I could actually test the driver on my XScale devel board!) - EXPERIMENTAL_VER_0_3: doubled driver init speed and killed CPU hogging - vastly improved scripts - huge README update - rename function names, remove some unused functions, docu cleanup *** Due to severe SourceForge public CVS lag, it may take a day for the changes to arrive. *** A tar archive can be found at http://rhlx01.fht-esslingen.de/~andi/acx100/ Enjoy, and read those README's. 0.2.0pre1 had more problems than we'd ever had wished, so this release has still more protocol fixes than previous versions. Hopefully this will relatively soon put an end to incompatibility issues... Oh, and please make sure to vote for both Software Suspend (swsusp) and APRadar on http://www.linuxfund.org Linux power management is still rather horrible, even in Linux 2.6.x series (too many notebooks still have way too much trouble there), so we need every kind of additional boost for this that we can get. Since Nigel Cunningham urgently needs funding, this is a no-brainer. (compared to this, other funded projects seem to be rather "poor", yet they are still rated higher!) APRadar is a KDE-based tool to do hotspot management. Still in its infancy, but quite promising. (and yes, I should finally add proper wireless tools AP scanning support for ACX100 which is required for APRadar, since I've been planning to do this for about two months now...) If you fail to vote (properly), then I'll immediately revoke your acx100 driver license... Andreas Mohr

http://www.soft3.net/pages/pictures_e.phpFulfilling the Promise of XML-based Office Suites? http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/09/22/2315236
[0]brentlaminack asks: "Almost a year ago [1]Tim Bray of XML fame [2]
said 'when the huge universe of MS Office documents becomes available
for processing by any programmer with a Perl script and a bit of
intelligence, all sorts of wonderful new things can be invented that
you and I can't imagine.' Now that [3] MS has dropped the ball on the
XML Office front, and [4] StarOffice has fulfilled its XML promise,
where are all those 'wonderful new things?' Is anybody out there
writing Perl/Java/whatever programs to take advantage of StarOffice
XML? Could this be an opportunity for Free/Open/Libre software to
leapfrog MS Office in real productivity as XML proponents have promised
all along?" What kinds of new and wonderful things can you come up
with?

[0]dmehus writes "VeriSign's Naming and Directory Services division has
[1]written to ICANN President and CEO Paul Twomey regarding the recent
[2]advisory concerning VeriSign's [3]DNS wildcard redirection service.
In the letter, VeriSign's Rusty Lewis says that they are open to
independent and objective technical concerns expressed by various
Internet bodies; they have formed their own "independent" panel of
industry leading experts to produce its own, separate report; and they
will not voluntarily suspend SiteFinder. It's a very terse response,
and frankly, I'd have expected more from them. Slashdot readers are
encouraged to visit [4]ICANNWatch for in-depth, expert discussion on
this and other issues."

Linux Crypto Packages Demolished
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/09/22/2127236
SiliconEntity writes "Cryptographer and security expert [0]Peter Gutmann has [1]demolished several Linux security software packages in a recent posting to the [2]cryptography mailing list. He says, 'It's possible to create insecure 'security' products just as readily with open-source as with closed-source software. CIPE and vtun must be the OSS community's answer to Microsoft's PPTP implementation. What's even worse is that some of the flaws were pointed out nearly two years ago, but despite the hype about open-source products being quicker with security fixes, some of the protocols still haven't been fixed.'"

waaka! writes "[0]Hydrogenaudio has just wrapped up a [1]listening test
of various audio codecs at 64kbps. Check out [2]the results, where
[3]Ogg Vorbis performed quite well, scoring significantly better than
[4]WMA, [5]RealAudio and [6]QuickTime AAC, and kept pace with [7]MP3Pro
and [8]HE-AAC (AAC with the SBR extensions that MP3Pro uses). Clearly,
though, no codec can honestly claim 128 kbps MP3 quality at 64 kbps.
The charts at the end show entries for 128kbps LAME MP3 and 64kbps FhG
MP3, but these are used as high and low anchors for reference, as MP3
is really out of its league at bitrates such as these."

Cyrillic Projector Code Finally Cracked
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/09/22/205244
[0]SimuAndy writes "An international group of cryptographers, the
Kryptos Group, [1]announced this week that the decade-old [2]Cyrillic
[3]Projector [4]Code has been cracked, and that it deciphers to some
classified [5]KGB instructions and correspondence. The Cyrillic
Projector is an encrypted sculpture at the University of North Carolina
in Charlotte, that was created by Washington DC artist [6]James Sanborn
in the early 1990s. It was inspired by the encrypted [7]Kryptos
sculpture that Sanborn created two years earlier for CIA Headquarters.
The message on the Cyrillic Projector has turned out to be in two
parts. The decrypted first part is a Russian text encouraging secret
agents to psychologically control potential sources of information. The
second part appears to be a partial quote from classified KGB
correspondence about the Soviet dissident Sakharov, with concerns that
his report to the [8]Pugwash conference was being used by the Americans
for an anti-Soviet agenda."

Chinese government that [1]their attempt to create regional standards
for computers and communications, including standards using Linux-based
software, may be doomed to failure, since 'such a strategy might
protect local companies and markets in the short term, [but] it would
make it more difficult for Asian companies to participate in world
markets.' This is in reaction to earlier Slashdot-covered stories about
an [2]Asian software consortium and China [3]disallowing foreign

[3]Comcast claims this is an attempt to create better speeds for their
average users, but you can't help but wonder how much of this is in
response to the RIAA's subpoenas. Interestingly enough, there is no set
limit, but just a subjective limit of 'more than the average user.' The
World Tech Tribune [4]has an article on the same topic."
