GLE -- alpha blending in version 3.1.0
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=261419

    GLE is a library of C functions that draw extruded surfaces, including
    surfaces of revolution, sweeps, tubes, polycones, polycylinders and
    helicoids. GLE uses the OpenGL(R) API to perform the actual rendering.
    The new version 3.1.0 includes new varients of existing functions that
    allow alpha-blending (transparency) to be used. Any subroutines that
    used to take RGB arguments now have analogous *_c4f() versions that
    take RGBA (alpha) colors. A simple demo showing alpha transparency can
    be found in the examples/alpha.c file. Also in the 3.1.0 release: -- a
    minor memory leak fix -- other minor, forgetable fixes You can get our
    latest release here:
    https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5539&release_id=

ToscanaJ 1.0 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=261403

    After having tested the last release for a while on a workshop, we now
    consider the current version of ToscanaJ stable enough to be called a
    1.0 release. Development will of course go on, but this version gives
    you a rather complete feature set for creating and deploying conceptual
    systems based on simple relational databases. The feature list esp. of
    ToscanaJ as the main viewer component exceeds what has been there
    before, hopefully opening new applications for Formal Concept Analysis.
    As usual you will find more information in the change log and release
    notes. A copy of our latest release can be found here:

A Slightly-Softer Microsoft Shared Source License

    RadBlock writes "Microsoft Watch has a story on a [0]recent change in
    Microsoft's shared-source licensing... I guess the main difference is
    that programmers do not have to send back any changes made to the
    source code. But they can't combine any of the Microsoft code with
    other software. Here's the [1]full text of their new license
    agreement." The article claims that Microsoft is "inching closer — at
    least in spirit — to the GNU GPL" with these license tweaks, but it
    doesn't look that way to me.

    Wonderland Galeon brings the Wonderland (also called Bluecurve) visual
    style to Galeon. Icons are included for almost all the available
    buttons. 

xmms-alarm 0.3.3 
http://freshmeat.net/releases/116787/

    xmms-alarm is a plugin which allows XMMS to be used as an alarm clock.
    It features alarm start time, sleep time (so the alarm will stop after
    a while), volume fading time, loading a seperate playlist for the
    alarm, executing a shell command when the alarm goes off, and the
    option to choose a starting volume when fading. 

XSLjoke 1.0 (Stable)
http://freshmeat.net/releases/116710/

    XSLjoke is an XSL/XML transformation class for PHP, using Sablotron as
    a PHP extension library. Currently, it seems to be the only one able to
    work with Sablotron >= 0.97 and PHP. It has been tested with PHP
    4.3.1, but should work with any PHP version since 4.2.0. 




Slashcode
Upgrading
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/15/2012236

    I just wanted to suggest that someone out there who's rather good with
    Slash write a How-To on Upgrading to the latest CVS, or upgrading to
    the latest release, or both! It'd sure help me out. (a simple how-to in
    the comments to this article would help a great deal as well!) 

Misusing backSlash as Instant Messenger
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/13/1712245

    We just recently noticed, that backSlash is (in 1.x as well as 2.x) a
    very fine instant messenger between authors who just have web access or
    not liking IRC or ICQ. Just start a new story, put the message (up to
    50 characters) in the title field, and hit preview. Immediately your
    message is shown to all logged in authors when they load the next Slash
    page. And if you then have the submission list open with it's refresh
    of 900 seconds (the default valalue), you always have the newest
    messages even without hitting the reload button. It also proofed to be
    useful to send replies or ACK messages to acknowledge, that the message
    has been read. But be careful not to submit those messages as stories.
    This can be awkward. (So there's even a little bit of thrill when using
    this type of IM... ;-) 

What is the Mysterious future and why did it show
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/12/1952234

    Currently Slashdot has an article posted "in the Mysterious future"
    showing on the main page. What up with dat? 

SSL and slashcode fulltime
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/11/0737249

    Does anyone know if Slash works with SSL (not just for auth. but full
    time https)???? I need this and I'm not sure where to go from here.
    Current setup: Linux 8.0 / apache 1.3 / latest slash. (works very
    well). Some links and instructions would greatly be appreciated.
    thanks, -Kam. 

Streetnoise.org - Your Daily Political Roller Coaster
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/10/1820238

    Without further ado, here are the fruit of my last 12 weekends. The
    site runs on 2.6.6 and I probably won't touch it until there is a more
    decent upgrade strategy. Let me know if you like it and if you're
    interested in politics, please don't be shy and post a story when you
    run into something outrageous (which is easy these days). 

New Features!
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/10/0322236

    So bunch of new features are in the latest CVS. Including image and
    file support int stories. Other hight lights include: Slash::Relocate,
    an href tool that changes all of your links on your site to
    relocateable links. Coming soon to this will be a task to track if the
    link is dead or not (and give you an alternate link to google if it
    is). Slash meta language. Now in stories (and soon in Journals) you can
    use custom slash links to do all sorts of nifty little things. If you
    notice the story before this one with the like to you will noticed the
    hyper link to their homepage. Plus if you are logged in it will show
    you your Zoo Relationships. Finally, we now have image and file support
    with stories. Here is with his cat. Multi page documents are now
    supported by using the SLASH tag language. Bunch more that I am
    probably forgetting.... 

Storing Variable Calues
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/10/0216217

    Another questions about template editing, but more specifically about
    grabbing everything in an existing site that you've optimized and
    converting that information into something you can use in a theme. I've
    asked questions previously about templates and boxes (thanks to
    lottadot and ), but now I'd be interested to find out if I can grab
    things like site variables and menu alterations and stuff like that
    from the database, and put them in a form that is convenient to install
    in a new site. My guess is that it'll be in the form of some sql
    queries that need to be run on initial installation (in the sql_prep
    and _dump files in the theme)? Can anyone help me out? Is there an easy
    way to do it? If there isn't, why hasn't this been implemented? 

Innodb and Slash
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/09/1952228

    I'm wondering if people are using Innodb with Slash. The big issue
    seems to be converting tables that have FULLTEXT on them (like
    stories). Anyone know if there are any advantages to having Innodb
    tables? 

File Management System?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/09/0559213

    Krow added Blob support for stories. That is great, however, it stores
    all the info into a database. How hard would it be to design a plugin
    that works more like the gallery plugin for slash. IE: To be able to
    add PDF/Mp3s/Images, etc, into a story or comment, but have it stored
    in a directory or something rather than the database. 

Privatized user journals?
http://slashcode.com/article.pl?sid=03/03/07/1824248

    Is there any way to privatize user journals? I've noticed on the new
    slashdot site that the ability to privatize your journal is offered if
    you're a paid subscriber, is this a feature available in slashcode? If
    not, any ideas on how to implement this? --TorinEdge
