Adobe Systems is announcing on Thursday plans to release source code for its high-performance remoting and messaging technology via an open source product called BlazeDS.The technology is leveraged in enterprise rich Internet applications, Adobe said.Adobe's remoting allows for connecting of Flex clients to Java server business logic. The messaging software enables building of real-time or data push applications.Through the open-source effort, developers can connect to back-end distributed data and push data to Adobe Flex and Adobe AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime) applications. The Adobe Flash Player is used on the client side."We've seen more and more of our customers who are using Flex technologies are building more sophisticated applications," said Phil Costa, Adobe director of product management for Flex and ColdFusion. "To support the growth of that developer community, we're releasing these low-level technologies as an open-source project so a larger community of developers can get access to them."BlazeDS, which stands for data services, allows developers to add connectivity to rich Internet applications for collaboration and data-push functionality. Developers also can connect rich clients to server applications, including Java and Adobe ColdFusion components, Adobe said.Remoting is primarily used to make remote requests against existing server logic, while the messaging technology is used most often to stream data out to the client. These previously were available to enterprises only as part of the company's LiveCycle Data Services ES offering. Also being contributed to open source is Adobe's AMF (Action Message Format) protocol specification, which has been a proprietary binary data protocol. Remoting uses AMF to access server-side business logic.Adobe's implementation of remoting runs in Java, but the company also is working with an open-source project called AMF PHP to implement the same protocol in PHP.BlazeDS will be offered under the Lesser GPL version 3 license in early-2008. BlazeDS and AMF are available as public betas on Adobe Labs. Using BlazeDS requires client libraries, which are included in the Flex SDK and Flex Builder.Adobe may in the future provide a native AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) client to work with its newly open sourced technologies.Adobe also plans to offer Adobe LiveCycle Data Services Community Edition, a subscription service featuring builds of BlazeDS and access to Adobe support services.The enterprise-level LiveCycle Data Services ES (Enterprise Suite) includes capabilities for building customer engagement applications that require messaging, advanced client-server data synchronization and conflict detection and resolution. Offline data management services also are featured.??

With the release of HIT Lab NZ's OSGART (OpenSceneGraph + ARToolKit) framework imminent, I'm pleased to announce a release of the GPL-licensed ARToolKit v2.   Download ARToolKit 2.72 at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=116280  ARToolKit 2.72 contains a number of improvements over previous releases, with several of these focussed on the video capture libraries. Wayne Piekarski and Hartmut Seichter have substantially updated the Linux video input and added Pointgrey and Gstreamer video capture.  Those of you trying to integrate ARToolKit's coordinate system with existing OpenGL drawing will be pleased to see versions of the OpenGL projection and modelview matrix creation functions which now return right-hand coordinate systems.  Integration with OpenSceneGraph is the focus of our current and future work in the area of advanced graphics capabilities atop ARToolKit. However, this release also updates libARvrml so that it binds correctly to the recently updated OpenVRML 0.16.1.  There are a number of smaller improvements, bug fixes and reference documentation updates included. Please download the release and have a look at the readme and changelog.  We have also added more explicit direction on ARToolKit licensing to the Readme. Please be aware that the GPL-licensed ARToolKit cannot be used in a closed-source product. Closed-source licenses to ARToolKit Professional are available from ARToolworks in return for financial support of ARToolKit development efforts.  If you find bugs in this GPL release, please post in ARToolKit's bug tracker on SourceForge at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=116280&atid=674305. This is the preferred forum for bug reports. Patch submissions are also welcomed.  And yes, bugs fixes and other improvements are available between official ARToolKit releases by checking out the source from Sourceforge ARToolKit CVS repository using anonymous CVS. A simple tutorial on how to get the ARToolKit source using a CVS GUI tool is at http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=25731&group_id=116280.  Thanks to all the contributors to this release.  Philip Lamb HIT Lab NZ

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 :)

(InfoWorld) - Adobe Systems on Tuesday is announcing Adobe Captivate 2, an upgraded version of its Flash-based software for developing computer-based demonstrations and interactive simulations. Geared to e-learning professionals, trainers, and others who provide computer-based instruction, Captivate 2 generates interactive content in Flash and does not require users have programming knowledge or multimedia skills, Adobe said. New in version 2 are workflow enhancements for developing scenario-based training that visually branches out to different learner paths depending on the user's choices. A simulation wizard in version 2 helps in developing "soft skills" simulations, adding content to placeholder slides and setting up branching with point-and-click functionality. Soft skills are skills relating to the ability to communicate with other people, such as in customer support, Adobe said. A placeholder slide is an empty slide to help authors get started with presentations. A zoom capability in version 2, meanwhile, lets users zoom into specific areas of the screen. "Adobe Captivate is a tool that empowers people," to do things they could not do before, said Silke Fleischer, product marketing manager for Adobe Captivate. Flash video can be imported into Captivate presentations. Captivate 2 content can be integrated with other e-learning systems such as Macromedia Breeze, Macromedia Authorware, and Questionmark Perception. Available on October 5, Adobe Captivate 2 costs an estimated $599. Registered users can upgrade for an estimated price of $299.

Wav2MP3 Wizard is the lightest, easiest and one of the fastest Audio Converting programs. Select your files, convert them to MP3/OGG and decode them back, using one of the 10 easy pre-setup profiles, or make your own! High quality audio in just seconds! The Wav2MP3 Wizard team after a long period of work is proud to bring you the brand new v3.1, with fully automated batch encoding, proving to be one of the fastest and easiest audio conversion software available!   Take a more detailed look at what changed since version 3.0:  * REMOVAL: Removed the ID3Tag options from the Main dialog as they were pretty useless and confusing; default values for ID3Tags can still be set by the File Dialog (see Help File for more) * IMPROVEMENT: Fully automatic batch (multiple files) encoding, not requiring you to click OK between files * ADDITION: Added the File dialog; by double-clicking on any file on the list you can view all its ID3Tag properties as well as select its destination after encoding * ADDITION: Ability to change all ID3Tag information in all files in the list with a few clicks, or clear them * ADDITION: All ID3Tag information is copied from the Main form to the File form (appears when double-clicking on a file in the list) * IMPROVEMENT: Separated Options dialog in tabs (suggested by Paul Jay Schrenker) * CHANGE: There is no "Enable/Disable Multiple Files", as the list always appears now; the program can detect whether the list contains one or more files but acts the same * CHANGE: There is no "Show Save As... dialog before encoding" option, as the user can select where he wants each file to be saved by double-clicking on it on the list; change made for the capability of automatic batch encoding * REMOVAL: Removed color-fading * OCX COMPONENT CHANGE: Now using msdxm.ocx instead of amovie.ocx, due to limited capabilities and bugs of the latter * CORRECTION: List is not cleared after encoding, but is still cleared if user clicks on Cancel button * BUG CORRECTIONS: Corrected bugs on file selection, Main dialog being disabled to user, ID3Tags being disabled after adding more than one file to list and many other minor bugs * IMPROVEMENT: Cleaned up the code, removed all unused entries for smaller size and faster use * ADDITION: Added German language * OTHER: Some other fixes and additions I can't remember after all this time...   NOTES:  * The released versions do not mention in their helpfile that the German language has been added, although the installer does. This has been considered a minor mistake, and will be fixed in the next release.  * Notice that we will not be releasing the Light Version of the source code anymore. The packages that will be available are: Installer, Zipped and Source.  The latest installer can be found here: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=90441&package_id=95185  Enjoy another version of Wav2MP3 Wizard!  *The Leftos Open-Source Development Group*
