Version 5.5 of Q, the equational programming language, has been released. This release sports some bug fixes in the GGI module and examples. The Windows package now comes with the latest GGI from CVS, including Peter Ekberg's much improved DirectX driver.   Q-Synth 1.3 has been released as well. Q-Synth is a library of Q scripts for interfacing to realtime software synthesizers (especially James McCartney's SuperCollider, also available from SourceForge) using CNMAT's OSC protocol. This release fixes some Windows compatibility issues, and a Windows package is now provided.  More information about the Q project can be found on the Q website at http://q-lang.sourceforge.net  You can download the latest versions here: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=96881&package_id=103965 https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=96881&package_id=115655  Enjoy!

There is a fascinating article on Groklaw called Searching for Openness in Microsoft's OOXML and Finding Contradictions. One of the most relevant comments in the article is "So, they plan to be the only one in the Linux world that can actually interoperate with Microsoft. How do you think they will achieve that? By sharing? On the contrary, they already market themselves as uniquely interoperable, which means they get to interoperate and you don't, unless you are their paying customer."  There is also the Novell comment, "Only Novell has Microsoftâs endorsement as its partner to drive Linux-Windows interoperability."

JXplorer is a fully functional ldap browser written in java with a pluggable architecture, plug in security providers, ldif support, i18n support, online help, user configurable html forms for data display and much, much more. A stable release candidate for JXplorer 3.1 is now available for download; if it checks out it will become the 3.1 release. This release includes a bunch of new security goodies, such as improved SSL handling with browser-like detection of server certificates, optional client side password hashing, and kerberos support.    Otherwise, a number of bug fixes and some internal code refactoring.  If the second release candidate is good (the first had a minor gui problem with kerberos passwords) I'll make the OS specific install packages and re-release in a week or so!  You can find this release candidate here:  https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=55394&package_id=52565

Not since SCO has there been a company so reviled by the open source community as Novell following its deal with Microsoft.  Already there are some clear signs of the negative effects of that anger: senior coders have left the company; Novell has posted a loss for the most recent quarter; and there are calls for a boycott of Novell products â to say nothing of imminent changes to the GNU GPL that might well nullify the entire Novell-Microsoft deal.  Some people are rubbing their hands in glee at the thought of Novell crashing and burning completely, but such a development could actually turn out to be one of the worst things to happen to free software.

Travis Swicegood is teasing us with some output from a script in his latest blog post:   So my free time of late (what there is of it) has been spent on a project that's getting really close to v0.1 release. In other words, its first functional release. If you've ever run a test using the PEAR installer or know what a .phpt file looks like, you might be able to guess what I've been up.   Keep an eye on his blog for more information on his "secret project".

Welcome to a new on-line column here at LinuxJournal.com, "Linux Products Insider".  I'm James Gray, Products Editor at Linux Journal.  After the spam has been deencrusted and hucksters repelled, I'll use this space to update you on the latest and greatest products and services that I find using my secret channels.  This week, I had the chance to take part in a press conference with Mark Shuttleworth, Founder of Ubuntu.  Read on to learn why Shuttleworth's is so fired up about the new Ubuntu 7.10 "Gutsy Gibbon" (available this week), as well as why he thinks Ubuntu is so darned successful.  read more

In a new post, Matthew O'Phinney sharing a handy new tool that he discovered - exuberant ctags - that lets you magically click on a class of function name and move to its declaration.   I found exuberant ctags, a library which can be used to generate an index file mapping language objects to source files and the line in the source file where they are declared. Contrary to its name, it's not just for the C language; it currently supports 33 different programming languages, including PHP.   He also includes a usage example in the post, specifically for getting the tool up and working in your Vim installation (via a bash script). Then it's just a matter of issuing a :set command to point at the correct file and you're one keystroke away from the function/class declaration of your choice.

Just been doing some heavy translation from German to English. Which lead to writing a simple command line tool for translating via Google - waste time to save time in other words. Getting a prototype up from scratch took about 15 minutes (which sheds a light on blog spam I guess). Have cleaned it up a bit and dropping it here in case anyone can use it.
