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 :)

In a new post, Elizabeth Smith talks about "perverting Windows" to work with desktop PHP applications via an interesting library - Winbinder.   Writing desktop applications with PHP is considered to be idiotic by many people, but personally I think it's a lot of fun and can be useful. [...] There are more solutions for desktop apps with PHP than people probably realize. [...] So why isn't there a Win32 GUI wrapper for PHP? Well, there is...kind of.   She mentions a few issues she has with the Winbinder software - including lacking support for PHP5 and non-threadsafe code. She's falling back more and more on the "I can write an extension for that" mentality, though and has plans for the future:   Eventually I hope to have a WinUi, WinGdi, and WinSys (processes, threading, registry, et al) to put in pecl. There are some win32 only extensions in PECL, but win32std is the only one I've actually had use for, or even got working properly, and there's no agreement among them in naming convention, API design, or even functions vs. classes. So here I am, playing.

The new version 1.7 of wxSQLite3 - a thin wrapper for the SQLite database for wxWidgets applications - now supports the current version 3.3.10 of SQLite. Support for BLOBs as wxMemoryBuffer objects and for loadable extensions has been added. Optional support for key based database encryption is also included.    Version 1.7.1 fixes a bug in the key based database encryption feature (The call to sqlite3_rekey in wxSQLite3Database::ReKey could cause a program crash, when used to encrypt a previously unencrypted database).  The wxSQLite3 file release contains the doxygen generated documentation. The file release for Windows additionally contains version 3.3.10 of the SQLite DLL in 3 different flavors: the original unmodified DLL, a DLL including support for accessing database meta data, and a DLL supporting optional database file encryption using 128 bit AES encryption.

The new version 1.7.2 of wxSQLite3 - a thin wrapper for the SQLite database for wxWidgets applications - now supports the current version 3.3.12 of SQLite. The wxSQLite3 API is now independent of optional features; it can be checked at runtime for which optional features wxSQLite3 was compiled. Since on Linux support for loadable extensions is not compiled into SQLite by default it has been made optional in wxSQLite3 as well.   The wxSQLite3 file release contains the doxygen generated documentation. The file release for Windows additionally contains version 3.3.12 of the SQLite DLL in 3 different flavors: the original unmodified DLL, a DLL including support for accessing database meta data, and a DLL supporting optional database file encryption using 128 bit AES encryption.

Franklin N. Tessler  awards Keynote â08 four and a half stars in his recent review of the latest version of the presentation application. He reports that this ânew version of Keynote retains an uncluttered interface that makes it easy to put together polished presentations with a minimum of fuss, while introducing features that boost efficiency.â Those include the Format Bar, Picture Frame, Instant Alpha, and the new Smart Build feature, which Tessler says âis another huge time-saver that lets you show a series of images without putting them on separate frames or using builds to display them one-by-one.â

Jim Plush has posted an offifical release announcement about his latest contribution to the PHP community - a debugging tool combining PHP (through the myBIC framework) and the Firefox FireBug extension.   I put together a couple pieces of technology to give the PHP community a debugger/profiler that should make life easier in the "web2.0" world. Are you tired of echo'ing print statements in your ajax calls? Writing to log files? Firing up big ol debuggers just to see what the value of some array is? Well look no further than the new MyBic PHP Debugger.   The tool is a smaller part of his larger MyBIC framework and can do things like writing log files, echo information back out to the screen, and communicate information back out to the Firefox user. There is a standalone version of FireBug that will be posted for those that don't want to have to install an entire framework to use it.   Keep an eye out (here and on his blog) for the links to the release when it's posted. In the meantime, you can check out a screencast [mov] of the package in action or just the screenshots in the blog entry.
