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.

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

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

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

How to Force Previewing?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/08/08/1931216
An anonymous user writes: "I'd like to see an option added to enable a

submission before they post it, but there is no way for this

'submit' when I wish I'd previewed first. I know that a 'force post

currently running the LiveJournal server code and works quite well at
this. I'm interested in attempting to set up slash for personal use
(the Livejournal code is running for personal use as well), and herein
lies the question. Can slash be run on the same server in another
VirtualHost without having a separate apache installation/process and
doing some fancy trick with mod_rewrite? Or am I asking too much? I
will be happy to provide any further info anyone needs through e-mail
(the e-mail link above is NOT spam-armored at all).
QubitNews is finally launched!
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/07/24/0030227
QubitNews: News and Inforation from the Quantum Community. This is
conceived as a meeting-point for the community working in the fast
developing field of Quantum Information and Computation. This is an
open and free project devoted to the exchange of information in this
field.: news, stories, announcements, comments of scientific work,
debates, polls, forums, etc... Many aspects of your work that cannot
appear in scientific journals may find a place here. The main feature
of QubitNews is that it is dynamical: you are wellcome to participate
and modify the look and feel of this site. You may become an anonymous
user, site user or an Author. Visit the homepage and consult the
documents About, FAQ, How-To and GettingStarted. It may be useful,
helpful and a lot of fun.
Tuxedo.org Now running Slashcode
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/07/23/2014232
Tuxedo.org is now running Slashcode. I should have done this a couple
of years ago... Most recent story is Linus Torvalds Comments on SCO
Lawsuit and Linux. Hope you all enjoy the new site! --Chuck Peters
Best hosting service for Slash?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/07/23/1449209
I'm going to be doing some "big things" with Slashcode but am
interested in going through someone to set up Slashcode and the server,
so that I can just right in and start building the site. What are the
best hosting services out there? Will they set up Slash for me? What
kinds of experiences have people had?
Dissociated Press goes Slash
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/07/23/1442252
After a bit of poking and prodding, I've converted Dissociated Press to
Slashcode (2.2.6). Works great!
So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish!
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/06/13/1816237
All things come to an end and its been a wonderful ride. Today is my
last day at OSDN and this will be the last thing I will be posting on
Slashcode. It has been fun working on Slash for the last few years and
I have enjoyed working with the Slash community (tf32, ACS, vladinator,
ericdano, and many more that I am forgetting). On Monday I start work
for MySQL so I will be a bit busy for a while but I expect you will
still see Slash stuff coming from me in the future. I will continue to
be in #slash for a while, and you can still always reach me via email.
The best of luck with you and your sites, it has been great!

After much kicking and screaming, yet another Slash Site! The Spotted
Rabbit with news and events for Sussex County NJ, and Orange County,
NY. It still looks a lot like basic slash, but I'm new to this, and
we're working on it! --Ken Hall
