Liferea (Linux Feed Reader) is a GTK desktop news aggregator for online news feeds and weblogs. The project focus is on simplicity and easy installation.   This is a bugfix release. It fixes a compilation problem when using GtkHTML2 with the 1.4.2 tarball. It also fixes the broken HTTP authentication and the silent loss of the update interval unit when changing it in the feed properties dialog.

Jikes is a great compiler but they could really benefit from better project management.  This bug  has been open for greater than 3 years now with no resolution.  One of the developers sent me a *private* email (without commenting or closing the bug) this this could be fixed by avoiding the use of symlinks but wasn't sure. Of course this email was sent more than 2 years ago so I have no decent way of finding it.  Adding insult to injury is the fact that IBM won't let me comment on the bug without an account.  The only problem is that my account won't activate.  In a nutshell if you want to use incremental compile with jikes you need to specify relative paths not full paths.  For example if y ...

In my last blog post, I mentioned the work on rubinius (then at a 0.7 release and now at 0.8) and JRuby.  I also promised I&#8217;d follow up on them.  Here&#8217;s what&#8217;s been going on so far.

Ilia Alshanetsky posts today about the proposed "Month of PHP bugs" that Stefan Esser is proposing:   It would be interesting to see what issues he discovers, hopefully most of them have already been reported to the PHP Security Team, in which case the upcoming 5.2.1 release will provide a resolution path for affected users.   Hopefully, as Ilia states, the bugs will not turn out to be zero-day vulnerabilities and will instead be smaller issues. Either way, a bug-fix patch will probably soon follow.   Either way, I have to look at this as a free security audit of PHP by someone with a clue about security and ultimately, in the long run it will only make PHP better, even if March is going to be rather busy.

Lorenzo Alberton has posted some updates about the PEAR packages that he maintains to his blog today including MDB_QueryTool, Mail_Queue2, MDB2, and Translation2.   Even if lately I've been coding way more in C/C++ than in PHP, I still keep an eye on PEAR developement: I reckon in the last month I've closed a bug a day, on average. And after my last call for help about my PEAR packages, I'm also pleased to announce that someone did indeed offer a hand. I'm happy to welcome not one, but two new developers!   Each of the items has links to their PEAR homepage and a few quick words on where the package stands (including developers involved or wanting to get involved). He also reminds developers out there that they can help out too if they want to jump in and get into PEAR.

A GTK/python frontend to the news leecher "hellanzb" providing most functionalities available from the "hellanzb daemon" and Drag and Drop file-enqueuing.Hellanzb can be obtained through your distro's package manager or at http://www.hellanzb.com   looks like hellagui only worked for me. There was a major bug : if no config file was present, hellagui would crash on start.  Now, if a developer, even of such a lowly glade hack as this one, says "this is working" and has even got screenshots to prove it, and the package doesn't work for you, it's very probable that there is some weird bug he (the developer, in this case me), missed.   It seriously doesn't hurt to just drop a small mail stating "sorry dude, but your application is just a pile of bugdung and it crashes". I'll even welcome "U 5vXX0r. it Cr4sh3d" messages ... If there is a shell output, even better. If not I'll survive and ask myself WHY it crashed and then fix it.  Anyway ... this version should work ... please DO tell me if it doesn't.

New from the PEAR blog today is an announcement about the official released of the latest version of the PEAR installer - 1.6.0.    This release fixes a number of major regressions introduced in PEAR 1.5.2 that were not fixed in PEAR 1.5.3 or PEAR 1.5.4, and is recommended for immediate upgrade.   The march to Pyrus, the next generation installer for PEAR, and the repository of packages designed for Pyrus (PEAR2) continues.  Maintenance on 1.x will continue to contain bug fixes and security fixes, but the pace of new features is going to slow considerably.    PEAR users can either download the latest package from the main PEAR site or just issue a "pear upgrade PEAR" command from their system to pull it down from the default PEAR channel.
