Release notes: http://moodle.com/doc/?frame=release.html Downloads: http://moodle.org/download/ MegaMek is June POTM http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=281659 The good folks at SourceForge.net and Linux Magazine have declared MegaMek the June, 2003 Project of the Month! To celebrate, the project's developers are scrambling to kill all bugs (priority 4 and greater) and release the next stable version: v0.29. We ask all players to download the latest developement snapshot (currently v0.29.21) and help us find any bugs hiding in the code and confirm that the recent fixes have fixed the old bugs (see history.txt or the release notes to see what bugs have been fixed). Gimp-Print 4.3.15 (development) http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=281411 Gimp-Print 4.3.15, released June 1, 2003, is a development release of this package. Like all development releases, this version is considered unstable and should only be used by those individuals tolerant of the likelihood of problems. Individuals desiring a stable release of Gimp-Print should use the latest 4.2 release. Gimp-Print is a suite of printer drivers that may be used with most common UNIX print spooling systems, including CUPS, lpr, LPRng, or others. These drivers provide high quality printing for UNIX (including Macintosh OS X 10.2 and newer) and Linux systems in many cases equal to or better than proprietary vendor-supplied drivers, and can be used for many of the most demanding printing tasks. This software includes the Print plug-in for the Gimp, and Ghostscript and CUPS drivers, including Foomatic data. This package requires libxml2 2.5 or above. You may need to install a package named "libxml2-devel" or the like on many distributions. The Print plugin for the Gimp requires the Gimp 1.2 (later versions of the Gimp are not supported). You may need to install a package named "gimp-devel" or the like on many distributions. The CUPS driver requires CUPS 1.1.15 or higher. You may need to install a package named "cups-devel" or the like on many distributions. The Foomatic data will work with either Foomatic 2.x or 3.x. Foomatic 3.x has additional capabilities that this package detects and takes advantage of. The IJS-based GhostScript plugin driver requires GNU Ghostscript 6.53 or later, ESP Ghostscript 7.05 or later, or APFL GhostScript 7.04 or later. It also requires that glib 1.2 be installed. You may need to install a package named "glib-devel" or the like on many distributions. Users of Macintosh OS X 10.2 and above can use this package, as the printing system is based on CUPS, which is supported by Gimp-print. Note that Macintosh OS X 10.0 and 10.1 (including 10.1.5) cannot use this package. Please read the README file for full instructions on installing this package. Gimp-Print 4.3.15 contains the following major changes over Gimp-Print 4.3.14: 1) The code for handling ink shades and drop sizes has been extensively overhauled; results should be much more consistent. In particular, the same balance between ink shades is now used at all resolutions for a given printer, and the driver always tries to use the smallest ink drop size it usefully can. The result is that colors should be much more uniform across different resolutions with the same printer (particularly with variable drop size printers), and output should be smoother. It is likely (although this has not been verified) that printing is faster, too. There may still be some issues; please report any problems. Internally, this is implemented by means of a new "channel" architecture, which is responsible for conversions of this type. 2) A long-standing build problem whereby the package will not build on systems that already have Gimp-Print 4.2 or earlier versions of Gimp-Print 4.3 installed has been fixed. 3) The existing Line Art image optimization has been renamed to Uncorrected, which is a better description of its effect. There is a new Threshold mode, which simply computes a threshold value (either on or off for each color). 4) The default image optimization mode is now Photographs (which has the best color correction) rather than the old Line Art (which as noted above is now called Uncorrected). 5) An experimental driver for the Olympus P-300 has been added. This driver has significant limitations; the size of an image much closely match the size of a print from this printer. 6) The Fast and Very Fast dither algorithms are significantly different from before. The Fast dither algorithm now uses the same dither pattern previously used by the Very Fast algorithm, and the Very Fast algorithm only uses the largest drop size. The Ordered algorithm should now run as fast as the Fast algorithm did before. 7) This package now uses gettext 0.11 internally. phpMyAdmin 2.5.1 released http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=281435 The development team is pleased to present you version 2.5.1, which aims to stabilize the 2.5.x series. phpMyAdmin is a tool written in PHP intended to handle the administration of MySQL over the WWW. Currently it can create and drop databases, create/drop/alter tables, delete/edit/add fields, execute any SQL statement, manage keys on fields. Slashdot Rescue Mission For European Space Industry http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/06/03/2322221 [0]metz2000 writes "The New Scientist reports that the European Space Agency (ESA) has pledged hundreds of millions of Euros [1]to guarantee its independent access to space. Europe also looks set to co-operate with the Russian Space Agency. Looks like the space industry is hotting up again. How will NASA react to this news after being the dominant space agency over the past three decades? A lot of money is going into rocket technology also; with this and the 'European version' of GPS are we heading towards a future conflict across the Atlantic?"

'Ninety-five percent of attacks happen after a patch for a known software vulnerability has been issued' says Scott Charney, chief trustworthy computing strategist at Microsoft. Basically, Scott is promoting the idea that Microsoft can do a better job, in many ways, so people will trust and be able to install patches quickly. Microsoft has a [2]transcript of Scott Charney's talk on their site." As reader [3]sweeney37 summarizes, " Microsoft's plan is to reduce the patch installers from eight to two, they want to have one patch installer specifically for the OS side and one specifically for the applications." Sweeney37 points out this [4]InformationWeek article on the planned change.

The SPV stands for Sound, Pictures, Video and you can download games like Doom or listen to MP3s on the speaker or even chat to your friends using the built-in MSN Messenger. But for all that the SPV features, there is no Bluetooth support. It still looks like a killer phone and I like that it is smaller than the PocketPC phones currently on the market."

What's particularly amazing is that the trio began filming the project when they were twelve and finished six years later when they were eighteen. Now, fifteen years after the project was completed, word of the film's existence has gotten out and audiences who have seen it have reportedly been stunned by the trio's ingenuity, with none other than "RotLA" director Steven Spielberg giving Zala, Lamb, and Strompolis a big thumbs-up. The complete film isn't available online, but a [4]trailer that gives a bit of the feel of the finished project can be viewed. [5]The Austin Chronicle also has [6]a story on the project."

DSPAM 2.6.0.65 http://freshmeat.net/releases/124872/ DSPAM is a server-side anti-spam agent for UNIX email servers. It masquerades as the email server's local delivery agent and filters/learns SPAM using a Bayesian statistical approach which provides an administratively maintenance-free, self-learning Anti-Spam service. Each email is broken down into its most interesting tokens, each assigned a spam probability. All probabilities are then combined to produce a statistical probability of spam. This approach, applied to a mature corpus of email, has the potential to yield a 99.5% success rate with only 0.03% chance of false positives. Enrapture 0.3 http://freshmeat.net/releases/124912/ Enrapture is an OpenGL-based 3D space/RPG game. It takes its influences from the old master piece Elite. F-Script 1.2.4 http://freshmeat.net/releases/124856/ F-Script is an Open Source scripting environment for Mac OS X. F-Script is based on Smalltalk syntax and concepts, but instead of using Smalltalk's object model and frameworks, it uses Apple's Cocoa object model and frameworks to provide interactive and scripting access to Cocoa objects. It also introduces a brand new model for high level object oriented programming (including sophisticated object query capacities), based on an advanced integration between object techniques and array technology. Finally, it sports an innovative object browser for graphical interactions with Cocoa objects: interactively invoke methods on Cocoa objects, or on your own custom Objective-C objects, without writing a line of code. File::Scan 0.55 (Development) http://freshmeat.net/releases/124855/ File::Scan allows users to make multiplataform virus scanners which can detect Windows/DOS/Mac viruses.

The only architecture currently supported is i386. g4u 1.10 http://freshmeat.net/releases/124869/ g4u ("ghost for unix") is a boot-floppy/CD that allows one to easily clone PC harddisks by using FTP. This is often done to deploy a common setup on a number of PCs. The floppy/CD offers two functions: it uploads the compressed image of a local harddisk to a FTP server, and then it can retrieve that image via FTP, uncompress it, and write it back to disk. Network configuration is fetched via DHCP. As the harddisk is processes as a image, any filesystem and operating system can be deployed using g4u. GAUL 0.1844 http://freshmeat.net/releases/124842/ The Genetic Algorithm Utility Library (GAUL) is a programming library for evolutionary algorithms. Both steady-state and generation-based evolution is supported, together with the island model. GAUL supports the Darwinian, Lamarckian, and Baldwininan evolutionary schemes. Standard mutation, crossover, and selection operators are provided, while code hooks additionally allow custom operators. It provides data structures and functions for handling and manipulation of the data required for a genetic algorithm. Additional stochastic algorithms are provided for comparison to the genetic algorithms. Much of the functionality is also available through a simple S-Lang interface. gm4lin 1.2.3 http://freshmeat.net/releases/124894/ gm4lin is a Linux driver for the serial port GM-45 (and GM-10, but calibration is wrong for that one) radiation detector. The driver is able to handle virtually any number of detectors connected to a single computer and to log data to the screen, to ASCI files or to a MySQL database (local or remote). Average activity and pulse mode with a fake RC decay are available in order to come as close as possible to common analog radiations detectors. This is console-only software. Group-Office 1.05 http://freshmeat.net/releases/124848/ Group-office is Web-based office suite written in PHP that is extensible with modules. It features user management (optionally synchronized with system and Samba), module management, an e-mail client, a file manager, a scheduler, and project management. gSoko 0.4.2 http://freshmeat.net/releases/124927/ gSoko is GTK+ clone of Sokoban, a puzzle game where you have to push boxes over special squares.

Slashcode Handling logging issues http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/04/22/0533218 I'm using cronolog for my apache logs, and I really, really like it. I'd like to be able to use it on the slash logs as well, which become large and cumbersome over time with many sites running on a server. How do you all handle your logs? What do you use for log rotation? How long do you keep logs? Is anyone using cronolog, or something like it with slash? RSS to Story? http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/04/21/1727241 Hi, I'm looking for a way to grab remote RDF and post them as stories. portald seems only to handle blocks. I'm aware of the elixus.org, and the RSS2Story plugin in their patch of slashcode, but I can't get the plugin installed, and it seems to be left unfinished. So is there any other way to do this? launch of slash site "stupidsecurity.com" http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/04/18/2133212 Announcing the opening of StupidSecurity.com. The site is meant to be a chronicle of idiotic and deceptive "security" measures. From the "three questions" that the airlines finally stopped asking to the closing of Meigs Airport in Chicago supposedly for security reasons, we want YOUR gripes about security measures that are just plain dumb! I'd welcome submissions (the stupider the better!), comments, complaints, and praise! MySQL 4.1+ http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/04/16/1639224 I want to start using MySQL 4.1 to take advantage of the new Spatial extensions in MySQL to further enhance my plugin. I saw the recent story referring to using MySQL 4, but no direct mention of experience with versions 4+. Any tips or recommendations? Should I make the upgrade only on my development box, or is using 4+ okay. Any experience with 4.1, which is alpha? Section-specific Quick Links http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/04/16/1540217 I'm in the process of setting up a intranet Slash 2 site for a company. With the aid of the Crow Book I've got everything installed and with the L'n'F that they want, and we are in the process of adding some initial content and getting the blocks running the way they want. However, we're having problems getting section-specific quick links blocks to work. Example: I have a section called legal, and a block called legal_qlinks which has different links to index_qlinks. index_qlinks shows up on the homepage as I expect, but nothing is displayed in the right "frame" if I click no the section title under an article. What am I doing wrong? The Crow Book (page 127) suggests that this should work. Need help building Slash templates http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/04/13/1634251 I have comps for a site I want built in Slash. While I have worked with Movable Type, building Slash templates is a whole different beast. I need someone to help me convert my comps into a functioning Slash site. If you have these skills, please drop me a line with your rates and scheduling availability. You can see what the site will look like here. --Markos Preventing duplicates from being posted http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/04/10/2021250 I'm getting sick of seeing duplicate posts all the time on Slashdot. I have a feature-request/enhancement that I would like to request for slashcode. It would be nice if before a moderator submits a story to check all of the URLS in that post and match it with the previous weeks/months stories for the same URL. If there is a match, throw up a warning saying that this story is a possible duplicate. This will help the moderator out too, since they wouldn't have to read every story on slashdot in the past two weeks. What do you think? Is this doable? --Min Idzelis Vorlonspace Is Back http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/04/08/0415234 Announced back in October last year, Vorlonspace was launched as a Babylon 5 discussions site. In late January, the site went down and was taken off the YASS list. It is now back up and the premise has changed from Babylon 5 to a general sci-fi discussion site which has generated more interest. Adding ispell after slash is installed http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/04/08/0414234 Hi, I read the (archived) thread at: http://ask.slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=02/03/22/1 724238&mode=thread and I have "Running Weblogs with Slash", so I know that "... Slash 2.2 has added an ispell compatibility mode. If the ispell program exists and points to an ispell binary, the Edit Story page will include a list of potentially misspelled words.)" (thanks blagger), but I don't know how exactly what to add, and into what directory,. I installed freebsd 5.0, then built and installed the slashcode port, and now I've installed ispell. I then tried adding symlinks to ispell into various directories, including /usr/local/slash/bin, and restarting my browser and the freebsd box. Nothing obvious changes. Can someone tell me exactly which file to put where to enable spell-checking? I'm running slash-2.2.6 on Freebsd 5.0. Thanks... P.S. Sorry if I misspelled anything, but... Shouldn't Slash Be Represented at OSCOM 3? http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/04/02/171253 I found out that OSCOM 3, The Open Source Content Management Conference, is taking place in Cambridge, MA, from May 28-30. I was surprised to see that Slash does not appear to be represented in any way. I posted a story to CTDATA suggesting that our community try to represent itself in some fashion. If anyone wants to discuss how we can influence the organizers of this conference to include a Slash presentation, please email me at dave_aiello at ctdata.com.
