Aug. 31, 2009

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 We are proud to announce the hopfully last beta of Pida 0.6. [1] It was a long time since beta2 and a lot of changes happened since then: == Core Highlights == • multiprocessing language plugins Language plugins can now use a multiprocessing infrastructure which allows expensive operations to be done on other cpu cores. This increases the speed of plugins like python_lint and python dramatically and do not make the gui sluggish anymore. • project file caches Projects now have a filecache which allows fast queries to filenames and filetypes. The QuickOpen plugin provides a gui for this, allowing the user to open files to which parts of the name, path or filetype are known • very precise feature selection from LanguagePlugins • better filemonitor support • new documentation (needs some gui work tho) • lot of speedups • lot of usability enhancements • lots and lots of fixes == New Plugins == • RegexpToolkit - helps you develop and analyze regular expressions • QuickOpen - fast file opener for project files • WayPoint - autogenerates waypoints when you surf and edit files and allows to jump back and forth [1] http://pida.co.uk/blog/0.6beta3 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJKnGPYAAoJEFYpgV2Roepc2d4P/3VSMxAd1r3UJNS6p6jpDOLm bES6zm0RFZmsCYdFab/WEroD24vCgO4jdmgV9woQoobuO1lecTiSGYIpbq3HcXFs qEhiAD7jo4QdR+6josXe3crUbbUPanH4J3O4+MReOfNR+w/x3w9rT+zVGxwBa7GP oxiFYWD9BaufHJxqVaAfRN00sGCUGVXVLwdOL2OA3T10F5hNzy9zMTKvUVjWJePG K7xzuLeDyaxxBoZ54gMT5tg9RnCKnDfStT6qeETvRH/NkxcjFG2HJSoMkD6KtLY4 MzTJ0YbFvzp9MLxPEY/918frio5bvClRaExBdo6pOsuiIMzRrPudUlAn2fqP6Qkx BXJRfLoXYEWmpUzzpC2zwik7ZzP2z/AwSDzJZR7ie2yKoVayGApmOeEEcePZMJUI K2LicEcP7WdVMmzBRQcuW7A6KVlzWhhMsPig+dPiONaXDBeOncy+LXfx/9tqZ1rN 5GsrYUc94md0I7hhmo/YdYj214FKkerq5gAtwgvQBgqSo+iNL5Pu/tlGPj2b9Ph1 sZnaA2LfoiEzBIifiAD/rIY8pFcN5jCRTj44ntWWnvGQ+hAQwhjrNehrtdHaQGWD wpaUy4TB5OlW1FFdp7dwEarTCdUqYRiVAvXrATw2g71WvVaSutEHwpNlnfFeT3tc 9fLIivMy5nnsK5W/HNf0 =Ctpz -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

RunPON 0.4
by Davide Alberani Aug. 30, 2009

Aug. 30, 2009

RunPON 0.4 can be downloaded from here: http://erlug.linux.it/~da/soft/runpon/ http://bitbucket.org/alberanid/runpon/ (mercurial repository) In this version: introduced a .INI configuration file and a GUI to handle it. Morevover, it's possible to keep track of the cumulative connection time. RunPON is a small Python program useful to run the pon/poff scripts. It shows the elapsed connection time and periodically checks if a given network interface is still active. It can run as a stand-alone application (with a status icon in the tray) or as a Gnome panel applet (and compatible panels). Obviously, modifying its configuration, it can run any program you like. It's still under heavy development. If you want to help, please contact me at: da (AT) erlug.linux.it -- Davide Alberani <alberanid(a)libero.it> [GPG KeyID: 0x465BFD47] http://erlug.linux.it/~da/

ANN: cssutils 0.9.6b4
by Christof Hoeke Aug. 29, 2009

Aug. 29, 2009

what is it ---------- A Python package to parse and build CSS Cascading Style Sheets. (Not a renderer though!) about this release ------------------ 0.9.6b4 is a bugfix release. main changes ------------ + BUGFIX: Issue #29 fixed. Double defined namespaces are replaced with a single (the last one) now. - IMPROVEMENT: ``cssutils.resolveImports`` now keeps media information when to be resolved @import rule uses these. It wraps the imported rules in an @media rule which uses the same media information from the @media rule in the original sheet. An xml.dom.HierarchyRequestErr may occur if an imported sheet itself contains @imports with media information or other rules which are not allowed in a @media rule like @namespace rules. In that case cssutils cannot resolve the @import rule and logs a WARNING but keeps the original @import. license ------- cssutils is published under the LGPL version 3 or later, see http://cthedot.de/cssutils/ If you have other licensing needs please let me know. download -------- For download options see http://cthedot.de/cssutils/ cssutils needs Python 2.4 or higher (tested with Python 2.6.2, 2.5.2, 2.4.4 and Jython 2.5 on Vista only) Bug reports (via Google code), comments, etc are very much appreciated!
