552655
SMPlayer is a complete front-end for MPlayer, from basic features like playing videos, DVDs, VCDs to more advanced features like support for MPlayer filters, edl lists, and more.   Most important changes since 0.5.62:   * Added support for pls playlist files.  * Better accuracy on subtitle selection. Fixes problems with mp4 embedded     subtitles. Requires mplayer svn r25158 or above.  * Now the screensaver and powersave on Windows is really turned off, even on    Windows Vista.  * The cache setting is independent for each type of media.  * Added an option which allows to fix the problem of loud volume on startup    (requires a patched mplayer).  * (Windows) The file associations code has been improved. Now it should work    better in Windows Vista as well as other versions of Windows.  * New option Video->Add black borders, which replaces the letterbox options     in Video->Aspect ratio.  * (Windows) Work-around for a mplayer bug: now filenames with characters     outside the local codepage can be opened, by passing to mplayer the short     version of the filename. This can be enabled in Preferences->Advanced.  * Now the H.264 loop filter can be disabled for High Definition videos only    (720p and above).  * Possibility to update the video while dragging the time slider.  * New icons for the default theme.  * SSA/ASS subtitles can also be resized during playback. Requires at least     mplayer r25843.  * Now it's possible to zoom out the video image.  * New Help->About dialog.  * New option Help->FAQ which will show the FAQ.  * Bugfix: the colorkey is passed properly to mplayer.  * Added the Finnish and the Korean translations.

ZIG is an easy-to-use, client-server networking and execution framework written in C++. Release v1.3.2. fixes a few more bugs on v1.3.1 (released yesterday), including a very old memory leak on buffer_c class (thanks to Milan Mimica).   Also new is that now ZIG releases are broken into three different packages: sources package ('zig'), docs ('zig-documentation') and the Win32 binary for the "minigame" example game ('zig-minigame').  Please see the changelog / CHANGES.TXT up to version 1.3.0 since that version introduces API changes that break code.  The latest release can be found here: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=61409&package_id=118720

Chris Hartjes has posted again about the "rebirth" of a Zend Framework component he's worked on - the Zend_Service_Audioscrobbler.   So, dear readers, I received some nice emails and comments from those you have used Zend_Service_Audioscrobbler, along with having a nice email conversation with Wil Sinclair from Zend.   He still wants to "rip things up and start over", but has decided on a slightly different route - mapping the older function calls to the new ones via a __call catch and including a message stating that the older function call would be deprecated.

In a follow-up to a previous blog post, Alexey Zakhlestin shares a few more thoughts on the project and the proper object hierarchy's going for.   actually, I changed it completely 3 times already in my thoughts. I finally "see the light"(tm) and will implement it on a weekend. I think about converting SCGI-part to a simple "driver" and move all http-related stuff to a separate driver-agnostic set of classes. This way, I would be able to implement FastCGI as anther driver without altering applications. If you have any better ideas - let me know.   He also includes a link to another sample application that uses the functionality to create a pie chart (including some benchmarks) with the help of the eZ components framework.

(InfoWorld) - Users are being advised to upgrade to newer versions of the RealPlayer and Helix Player multimedia products because of a critical security flaw. The flaw could allow an attacker to gain control over a user's PC using a buffer overflow vulnerability, a memory problem that can allow unauthorized code to run on a machine, according to iDefense Inc. The vulnerability was discovered last October but publicly disclosed Tuesday on iDefense's Web site. Affected versions of the software include the 10.5 "gold" RealPlayer and any 1.x version of Helix Player, according to the French Security Incident Response Team (FrSIRT). FrSIRT categorized the problems as "critical," adding that a denial-of-service attack is also possible. RealPlayer users should receive notification of a "critical update," advising them to upgrade toÂ the beta version of a new release, version 11, said Lewis Webb, a spokesman for RealNetworks. The new version can be downloaded from the RealPlayer Web site, although the site does not mention the security problem. Current versions of Helix Player, an open-source version of RealPlayer, are available on itsÂ developer Web site. For a successful attack, a user would have to be tricked into downloading from a Web site a malicious SMIL (synchronized multimedia integration language) file, a format used in rendering media, iDefense said.

Travis Swicegood has made a new release of the successor to the PEAR RunTest package for PEAR2 - the new PHPT.    Since this is usable and PEAR2 is still being worked out, I've decided to release this as a standalone package for the time being with the intent of bundling it with Pyrus or including it directly in PEAR2 when PEAR2 is realized.   This provides the majority of the functionality provided by PEAR's pear run-tests command via its own phpt command and it can even provide pear style output.    Examples of its use are included as well as the method to download this latest version (via a PEAR channel, of course) or through the package's web page. Issues found with the software can be posted to the project's Google code page.

KGuitar is powerful KDE-based music tabulature editor with support of guitar, drums, classic note scores, MIDI synthesizer output, chord, scales, modes, melody and rhythm construction and analysis tools, lots of tab effects, Guitar Pro files import.   After a long period of silence, I'm pleased to announce KGuitar 0.5.1 - a major bugfix release that covers most of issues for the last few years :)      * Compatiblity fixes: added support for autoconf 2.61, automake 1.10, gcc 4.2. Removed last bits of qt2->qt3 transition deprecations. Internal structures refactoring.     * Added zoom level (Ctrl Minus, Ctrl Plus), introducing multiple bars per row, automatically tuning to available window width;     * Finally introduced new exception-based framework for converters load/save. Makes converters much more bullet-proof and easier to write and debug.     * Guitar Pro import undergone major rewrite. Now it properly loads all gp4 files I have. Guitar Pro v3 and v5 formats are coming next. Anyway, Guitar Pro loader is now much more helpful about what errors it gets and less crash-prone. It detects and helps debug problems it encounters.     * Lots of displaying, mouse and keyboard control, printing fixes and prettifying. Track pane now has a header and it's synchronized with track list. Melody editor now has trapezoid and shark fin inlays.     * New QMap-based API for song metainformation - stores not a fixed number of fields, but key=value pairs.     * Misc things: project transitioned to Subversion.  As always, comments and especially bug reports are welcome. Also keep in mind that KGuitar is now registered at http://www.ohloh.net/projects/8959?p=KGuitar - so, take a look there too :)
