We are pleased to announce the availability of Fnorb 1.2 Release Candidate 1 for download at http://sourceforge.net/projects/fnorb/ Fnorb 1.2 RC1 incorporates a number of changes required to make Fnorb a true pure Python based ORB. This includes a pure Python IDL parser and pure Python CDR processing. Work has also been done to make Fnorb usable with Python 2.x and Jython. This release candidate marks the first new Fnorb release in over two years and is just the start of our efforts to breathe new life into Fnorb. We hope you enjoy it.

ANN: pyro 3.0 beta 1
by Irmen de Jong June 16, 2002

June 16, 2002

I've released the first beta of Pyro 3.0. It has some very exiting new features over the previous release (2.8); major speed increase, SSL support, safe XML pickling, authentication, timeouts, and much more. If you're interested in helping me improve Pyro 3.0, download it from http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/pyro Please read the change log carefully (available on request, but it's also in the manual in the distribution), and test it to the max! Please remember, it is still a beta release so there will be some rough edges, and there are still a few issues that need to be resolved for the final 3.0. Check the Pyro mailing list to stay up-to-date. Irmen de Jong - irmen(at)users.sourceforge.net What is Pyro?: Pyro is an acronym for PYthon Remote Objects. It is a basic Distributed Object Technology system written entirely in Python. With this, it closely resembles Java's Remote Method Invocation (RMI). Pyro is small, simple, fun and free!

wxDesigner RAD tool
by Robert.Roebling＠t-online.de June 13, 2002

June 13, 2002

Hi, I'd like to announce an update of wxDesigner, a commercial dialog editor and RAD tool for the free wxWindows GUI library and its popular Python bindings "wxPython". wxDesigner and wxWindows are available for Windows, Linux/Unix, MacOS 8/9 and MacOS X. wxDesigner has support for creating truely cross- platforms dialogs in little time. Additionally, it has support for bitmaps/icons, menus and toolbars using a simple interface. Its RAD features include creation of skeleton apps, files, classes, adding event handlers, menu event handlers and getters. wxDesigner writes out source code directly in C++, Python or Perl. Alternatively, it can write XML files in wxWindows' resource format for dialogs. Internationalization can be done easily using GNU gettext and related tools - wxDesigner itself is available in English, German, French and Spanish. The new release is mostly a maintainance release, the main new feature is an integrated context- sensitive help system. Apart from this, lots of of bugs have been fixed and the interface has been improved in several areas. More information, including screenshots and an evaluation version for downloading is available from: http://www.roebling.de More info about wxWindows and wxPython from: http://www.wxwindows.org http://www.wxpython.org Regards, Robert -- Robert Roebling, MD <robert(a)roebling.de>

ANN: MayaVi-1.2 released
by Prabhu Ramachandran June 12, 2002

June 12, 2002

Hi, This is to announce the availability of the MayaVi Data Visualizer version 1.2. MayaVi is a free, easy to use, scientific data visualizer. It is written in Python and uses the Visualization Toolkit (VTK) for the graphics. It provides a GUI written using Tkinter. MayaVi is free and distributed under a BSD license. It is also cross platform and should run on any platform where both Python and VTK are available. For more information, downloadable sources and binaries, screenshots, installation instructions, documentation etc. visit the MayaVi home page at: http://mayavi.sourceforge.net Also bundled with MayaVi is a VTK pipeline browser written in Python and a new utility module that makes using VTK easier from the interpreter. New in this release: (*) Changed license from GPL/LGPL to BSD. [1] (*) Added an integrated data picker. Thanks to Jose Paulo for initial contributions. (*) Added a light control toolkit (contributed by Raymond Maple). This lets you configure 8 different lights using a GUI. (*) Added a CellData to PointData filter. (*) Fixed bad problem in the lookup table editor that would freeze MayaVi under Win32. (*) The scalar/vector range can be set to predetermined values. A visible range for data can also be specified. Anything outside this range is made transparent. (*) Added --display and --geometry command line options and a new help menu. (*) Geomview OOGL export option (thanks to Jeremy Gill). (*) RPM and Debian packages are available in addition to source and binary releases for Win32 and GNU/Linux. PDF docs are also available at the site. [1] Please don't flame me on the license change issue. I posted about it on the MayaVi-users list and gave it considerable thought. You can read the original post here: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=694778&forum_id=1824 It seemed that moving to BSD would be the best possible option. Have fun! prabhu
