IT++ 3.99.0 development release
607293
IT++ is a C++ library of mathematical, signal processing and communication system routines/functions. Its main use is in simulation of communication systems or for performing research in the area of communications.   It has been over 10 months since the first release of IT++ 3.10.x stable series was released. During this period a lot of new functionality and improvements have been committed to the main branch (trunk) of the IT++ SVN repository. Therefore, we decided to publish a set of development releases as 3.99.x series before preparing a new stable branch 4.0.x.  Since IT++ 3.99.0 is a development release, some interfaces might be changed in future versions. Moreover, some interfaces have changed with respect to the stable 3.10.x series. For a brief summary of new features, modifications and bug-fixes please have a look at the release notes: - http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=37044&release_id=135334  The source packages with IT++ 3.99.0 development release can be downloaded using the following links: - http://downloads.sourceforge.net/itpp/itpp-3.99.0.tar.gz - http://downloads.sourceforge.net/itpp/itpp-3.99.0.tar.bz2  The reference documentation in HTML format is also available as packages for download.  If you spot any problems or errors in this release, please ask for help on the IT++ Help forum.

As mentioned by the Zend Developer Zone, Ed Finkler has posted the latest version of his Inspekt security tool.   Although downloads have been on the Google Code site for a bit, I recently put up a new build of Inspekt. This could probably be described as a late alpha release, with most proposed features implemented.   Also included in this new edition are full API documentation for the application, some documentation on its basic usage and, of course, the source of this latest release.

Movie & video, book, images, software (games & program) and music cataloger / database. Uses online web services (amazon, imdb, musicbrainz and many others). Skinnable, highly customizable, PDF and HTML reporting. Allows your to design your own modules.   A new version? So soon? Although I am against releasing version after version within a short span of time here is the brand new 3.1.30 version two weeks after the previous release. The product is slowly recovering from the high impact changes of the 3.1 version. This version again contains crucial fixes. Data Crow is slowly but surely maturing. I have again chosen to create an in between release (this is the 3.1.30 version instead of the 3.2 version) as I want you to benefit as soon as possible from these bug fixes.   There are also a few changes and new functionality to be found in this version. The File Renaming functionality is the biggest addition and is the first tool which manipulates data outside of Data Crow.   Please read the change log for detailed information on this release.

This is release 0.3.1 of ReactOS, an open source effort to develop a quality operating system that is compatible with applications and drivers written for the Microsoft Windows NT family of operating systems (NT4, 2000, XP, 2003).   Mainly, the work focused on rewriting certain parts of the ReactOS Core (kernel, HAL, bootloader, etc). Read through the changelog, and you will see the amount of changes in this release!  Please don't forget this is an alpha-stage operating system, which means it is not suitable to replace your main OS. Also, this release is aimed to be run mostly in virtualizers / emulators (like QEmu, VMWare, Parallels, etc): because of the big amount of changes, our development team was not able to test/fix all problems which arise when running ReactOS on real hardware.  Press-release: http://www.reactos.org/en/news_page_34.html  Changelog: http://www.reactos.org/wiki/index.php/ChangeLog-0.3.1  Download packages are here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6553&package_id=6629&release_id=492696  ReactOS website: http://www.reactos.org

Ilia Alshanetsky has noted that the latest release canidate for the PHP 5.2.x series, PHP 5.2.5RC1, is now available for download.   This RC includes a fair number of fixes since our last release and predominantly works on improving the stability of the 5.2 tree as well as including a small number of minor security fixes. I'd like to ask everyone to test this release against your code and setups, we are aiming for a quick release cycle and user feedback is critical for a successful release.

Christian Stocker has an update on his blog today that Windows users will be happy to hear:   Frank Kromann applied some patches yesterday to the PECL sources of the uploadprogress extension to make it compile under Windows (almost the same as by SteveH provided in a comment of my post yesterday). Therefore, thanks to the pecl4win site, a compiled dll is now already available. Get it here (untested by me..)   He also mentions some documentation that was asked about concerning the package (and the patches), but notes that he "can't promise anything any time soon".

Paul Jones, developer of the Solar Application Framework, has posted the latest version of said software. Details for the release can be found in this blog posting over on his site.    Last night, I released version 0.24.0 of Solar, the simple object library and application repository. Solar is a PHP 5 framework for rapid application development.   You can read the change notes for a full run-down, but there are a few changes in particular that I want to highlight.    He points out changes in the form of two major packages:  Solar_Request - a new class developed to handle the request information for a script (get/post/cookie/etc) Solar_Session - a new class to handle the sessions in an application, complete with read-once "flash" support  He also mentions a small change to the built-in Ajax support for the handling of the "edit" view.
