wxWidgets 2.7.0 released
475830
The wxWidgets team is pleased to announce a new release of the mature cross-platform C++ application framework.   This is the first version in the new 2.7 series. Please notice that this series is called "development" and not "stable" solely because compatibility is not assured among between different 2.7 series versions but there are no known issues with the stability of the programs using this version.  There have been many changes since the 2.6 series, please see the change log file included in the distribution for more details. The most significant additions to the GUI part of the libraries were:      - AUI (advanced user interface) library providing dockable windows and much more     - richtext library implementing wxRichTextCtrl     - New wxComboCtrl and wxOwnerDrawnComboBox controls     - New wxTreebook book-like control     - New wxColour/Dir/File/Font/PickerCtrls     - wxHyperlinkCtrl control  https://sourceforge.net/projects/wxwindows

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.

According to this new post on Pierre-Alain Joye's blog today, a new version of the GD graphics library has been release - version 2.0.34.   It took a lot of work to get this version released. Version 2.0.34 is a bug-fix-only release (all known security issues have been fixed), and upgrade is strongly recommended. It is also my very first GD release (hopefully, the first of many to come), and marks the official freeze of the 2.0.x tree, only security-related fixes will be made on this tree from now on. Please find the release announcement here.   He also invlites any language binders to contact him about hosting for a project if it's not available.

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.

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*

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
