* Finally tracked down the VERY nasty slowdown (at times up to a minute or
more) some users have been experiencing. It turns out that one of the
recent versions of glibc has a bug in its regex code when dealing with
non-multibyte characters (ie. most of the time). This came to a head because
I upgraded to slackware-current, which has this version of glibc. Great.
Thanks to Mark Eichen for pointing me towards several Debian bug tracker
items about other programs having this same problem.
* Added a new directory "contrib" which will be used for anything that users
contribute that is not patched into the main distribution.
* XSLT transform courtesy of Mark Eichin, to convert devtodo XML databases into
colour PDF's. This is contrib/xslt-example.1.
* XSLT contribution for converting devtodo XML databases into HTML, courtesy of
Daniel Peterson. This is contrib/xslt-example.2.
* I have created an amalgam of the above two XSLT contributions that will
output a HTML page with colourised items. Completed items are struck out.
This is a dodgy hack, so if anybody has any enhancements it would be much
appreciated.
* Changed filename of src/todo.cc to src/main.cc so that devtodo will compile
under environments where case is not relevant in filenames (ie. Cygwin under
M$ Windows).
* Added a small PERL script to generate a todo database from a ChangeLog file
that's in the same format as that used by devtodo. In the contrib directory.
eg. changelog2todo > changelog.todo && devtodo --database changelog.todo
* Added two new events: "load" and "save". This can be used in conjunction
with one of the above XSLT files by putting something like the following in
your ~/.todorc (assuming you have libxlst installed - www.xmlsoft.org):
on save exec xsltproc $HOME/etc/todo-html.xslt $TODODB > `dirname $TODODB`/.todo.html
Which will basically generate a .todo.html file every time a devtodo database
is modified and saved.
* Fixed a few minor man page bugs.
(the contrib/ files described here go under ${PREFIX}/share/examples/devtodo
when installing from pkgsrc)
The libffi library provides a portable, high level programming
interface to various calling conventions. This allows a programmer to
call any function specified by a call interface description at
run-time.
Some programs may not know at the time of compilation what arguments
are to be passed to a function. For instance, an interpreter may be
told at run-time about the number and types of arguments used to call
a given function. Libffi can be used in such programs to provide a
bridge from the interpreter program to compiled code.
Ffi stands for Foreign Function Interface. A foreign function
interface is the popular name for the interface that allows code
written in one language to call code written in another language. The
libffi library really only provides the lowest, machine dependent
layer of a fully featured foreign function interface. A layer must
exist above libffi that handles type conversions for values passed
between the two languages.
Taken from the dbench README file:
Netbench is a terrible benchmark, but it's an "industry
standard" and it's what is used in the press to rate windows
fileservers like Samba and WindowsNT.
In order for the development methodologies of the open source
community to work we need to be able to run this benchmark in
an environment that a bunch of us have access to. We need the
source to the benchmark so we can see what it does. We need
to be able to split it into pieces to look for individual
bottlenecks. In short, we need to open up netbench to the
masses.
To do this I have written three tools, dbench, tbench and
smbtorture. All three read a load description file called
client.txt that was derived from a network sniffer dump of a
real netbench run. client.txt is about 4MB and describes the
90 thousand operations that a netbench client does in a
typical netbench run. They parse client.txt and use it to
produce the same load without having to buy a huge lab. They
can simulate any number of simultaneous clients.
OpenPBS is a generic network queuing system.
The Portable Batch System (PBS) is a flexible batch queueing and
workload management system originally developed for NASA. It operates
on networked, multi-platform UNIX environments, including
heterogeneous clusters of workstations, supercomputers, and massively
parallel systems. Development of PBS is provided by Altair Grid
Technologies.
In rc.d/pgsql call pgsql_initdb directly for initial database
setup, rather than trying to determine the script location
from $0 and calling '$rcd_dir/pgsql initdb'. The previous
form broke when called from /etc/rc.
* kerberos4 fix (it got bumped during a kerberos 5 update)
penrose -mono now more interesting
updated -showfps. It should work better now. It stops working when
it jumps from the password window.
mandelbrot -pow and -sin options added. Kind of slow, so not in
fullrandom. Best if used with -binary. No idea if the new options
are correct mathematically.
allows lifefile to be bigger in life and life3d. (This allows
the "-mode life3d -rule B6/S567 -lifefile ../etc/barrierg.3dlife".
(If a glider could escape from the barrier without damaging it, it
would prove that glider guns in 3d life are possible since the
barriers create a local Conway's B3/S23 life.))
converted lyapunov,mandelbrot,swirl,tube to the xscreensaver way of
doing things for writeable modes. Stuff no longer used or never used
taken out with the help of lint.
xmlock and Xlockup (by Thad Phetteplace tdphette@dexter.glaci.com).
Only works on Sun. Will sort of work on Linux for
detecting mouse movement only. See xmlock.c. Default timeout is set
at 0 (off) so this will not cause a problem if it does not work.
Jouk Jansen's patch for Alpha (slightly changed).
wire restarts when static
lyapunov was left out of writeable modes in random.c
spline fix, when in random mode it could core dump.
maze fix thanks to guillem.hernandez@bt.com, for large resolutions as in
a dual headed configured as one 2560x1024 screen.
version-less distfile changing. Found during recent bulk build.

Kobo Deluxe (formerly SKobo) is an SDL port of Akira Higuchi's game XKobo.
It adds sound, smoother animation, filtered high resolution support, a more
intuitive menu driven user interface, joystick support and other features,
and runs on most of the major operating systems.
Changes:
- grepmail is now orders of magnitude faster for mailboxes which have very
large (>30MB) emails in them
- "grep" is now used to find the start of emails, if it is installed. For
mailboxes with large emails in them, this can speed things up by about 5x.
- Reduced memory consumption by about 3 times.
- -- now marks the end of options and the beginning of folders (Thanks to
Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org> for the idea.)
- -f now reads patterns from a file like GNU grep does. (Feature suggestion by
Darxus@chaosreigns.com)
- Added smail compatibility. (Thanks to Roy <qroy@ghg.net> for the patch.)
- The "**" prefix on warnings has been changed to "grepmail:"
- Date specifications without times (e.g. "today") are interpreted as midnight
of the given day instead of the current time of that day. (Bugfix and
initial patch by Reuben Thomas <rrt@sc3d.org>.)
- Fixed -i when used with -Y--it was always case sensitive. (Bugfix by Michael
C. Toren <mct@toren.net>)
- Updated t/functionality.t to avoid running gzip-related test cases when gzip
is not installed on the system.
- Improved some error messages so that they prepend "grepmail: " as they
should
- Cleaned up some warnings about ambiguous hash values (Thanks to Philip
Douglass <philipsd@sf.net> for pointing them out in a bug report.)
- Added a warning about the version of perl required for new pattern features
(Thanks to Philip Douglass <philipsd@sf.net> for the bug report.)
- -t flag is now -j
- Fixed broken Gnus support
- Improved test case for Gnus
* Changes since 1.2.0-beta5
** command return status
If a command the user executed (with the exec command) returns with a
non-zero exit status, the command and exit status are reported in a
message.
* Changes since 1.2.0-beta4
** new commands unmanage and clrunmanaged
Instead of editing conf.h you can use these commands to dynamically
add (and clear) the unmanaged window list.
* Changes since 1.2.0-beta3
** new command line argument --screen
Now you can specify the screen you want to manage. By default
ratpoison manages all screens on the display.
** new command line argument --display
Now you can specify the display to connect to.

PAG is a ncurses based game that allows you to create your own
maps and play with them, it have few features like moving-platforms,
enemies, and few rules to open/close doors, items like air, life
points, jump, etc.
Collection.
This package provides a shared library and a replacement for
sysctl(1) (when needed i.e. when the original one is statically linked)
so that the real version numbers and strings of the running NetBSD
kernel as returned by sysctl(3) and uname(3) are overridden by
those fixed during compilation.
This is useful for -among other things- building packages in
sandboxed/chrooted environment for a different NetBSD release than the
system hosting the sandbox/chroot.
Changes:
* New commands:
+ vm-create-imap-folder
+ vm-delete-imap-folder
+ vm-rename-imap-folder
* vm-edit-message-end: try to positoin the cursor in the message
window roughly where it was in the edit window.
* vm-read-imap-folder-name: allow vm-imap-make-session to return
nil without crashing. Also, bind vm-imap-ok-to-ask non-nil so
that vm-imap-make-session will interactively prompt for a
password.
* added menu entry to Folder menu for vm-visit-imap-folder.
* vm-imap-normalize-spec: convert auth method to * instead of the
IMAP folder name.
* vm-imap-get-message-flags: fixed flag retrieval so that it
actually works now.
* vm-handle-file-recovery-or-reversion: find an IMAP spec for the
buffer so that the spec is passed to the 'vm' command instead
of the buffer-file-name. This fixes a wrong-type-argument
error under M-x recover-file when done on a IMAP cache folder.
* tapestry.el: in tapestery-window-edges check for existence of
face-width and face-height in addition to window-pixel-edges.
* search for BASE64/QP encoder/decoder programs and set the
encoder/decoder program variable based on what we find.
* vm-mf-default-action: if object is convertible to a displayble
type mention the conversion that will happen in the action
string.
Handle hw.model frmatting from hp300
On gcc3 -frename-registers still causes problems for xdm with _some_
-march=XXX values. Next time I might just listen to fredb first...
Dnstracer determines where a given Domain Name Server (DNS) gets its
information from, and follows the chain of DNS servers back to the
servers which know the data.
Its behaviour is similair to ntptrace(8), which does it for the NTP
protocol.
This version is based on PLplot-5.2.1, which is a large step forward
compared to PLplot-5.0.4 that yPlot was based on before. For example,
the egregious rendering bugs in example 8 (doc/x08.i) are now long
gone, and the revised doc/x08.i and doc/x11.i show off some new
contouring functionality that is now available with PLplot 3D
plotting. The doc/x??.i examples from yPlot produce identical results
to the corresponding C examples from PLplot which is an excellent test
of the yPlot interface to PLplot. Note the yPlot API changes and
additions in the CHANGES file.
This only lists new features, there are many bugfixes.
* Apply a patch provided Kawamura Masao, relating to (a) errors in
the documentation of file locations and (b) a programming error
hidden behind an unset precompiler flag.
* Add `sed' RPN operator, to work on strings
* Add `skewness' and `kurtosis' RPN operators, to work on columns
* In the documentation, change the names of some variables to be
clearer: `ll_x' is now written `xleft', etc.
* Add RPN binary operators `and', `or' for logical operations,
along with negation operator `not'
* Add `draw arc' command
* Add `set x axis labels' and `set y axis labels' commands.
* Permit specification of `pt' units for `draw label', `draw box',
`draw symbol at', and `draw line from'.
* Add `set clip to curve' command. _Caution:_
this needs extension, and may have a bug if called twice in
succession [but is this with an intervening `set clip off']
* Add `group' and `end group' commands, in preparation for SVG
output. So far these commands do nothing, and are basically just a
signal that users should not create commands with these names
since Gri will need them soon.
* Add `..xinc..' and `..yinc..' builtin variables.
* Make the `open' command accept URLs as filenames.
The source for version 3.1 contains the first official release of the
Tcl/Tk-based version of xcircuit. At this time , everything in the
original program has been implemented in the Tk GUI. The Tcl version
has the greatest amount of command-line control, and can be run
exclusively from the command line (e.g., from a script). A
command-line argument "-exec" has been added to facilitate running
xcircuit in "batch mode".
Starting with version 3.1 revision 10, XCircuit has been made an
official part of the EDA environment including Magic, IRSIM, Netgen,
and Tclspice. Revision 10 addresses interoperability among these
applications, including use of XCircuit in conjunction with Magic for
Layout-vs.-Schematic (LVS) verification. A Magic tutorial on using
XCircuit, Magic, and Netgen together for LVS is in the works. Note
that this EDA environment requires that all applications be compiled
with Tcl/Tk.
From this point, the embedded Python interpreter interface will not be
further developed, except for essential bug fixes and such.
