XOOPS 1.3.9 released!
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=261713
The XOOPS team is pleased to announce the release of XOOPS 1.3.9 If you
are already running XOOPS2 RC2 or a first time user, please read
http://www.xoops.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=700 This release
includes a number of security based enhancements which fix possible
cross site script and SQL injection vulnerabilities. Therefore all
1.3.8 users are STRONGLY ADVISED to upgrade as soon as possible. It
also includes an upgrade script that will modify one of the database
tables to enhance performance of database access. - Full Package
http://www.xoops.org/modules/mydownloads/viewcat.php?cid=16 For new
users that would like to use XOOPS 1.3.x for some reason instead of
XOOPS2 ;-). This package contains entire XOOPS 1.3.9 source and a
several number of language packages. - Patch Files
http://www.xoops.org/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?lid=341 ->
[tar.gz]
http://www.xoops.org/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?lid=342 ->
[zip] For those who already have XOOPS 1.3.8 running. This package
contains only the files that have been modified from XOOPS 1.3.8. To
upgrade from 1.3.8, overwrite the old files with the new ones, then
point your browser to 138_to_139.php and follow the instruction

DataVision 0.7.4 released
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=261734
DataVision 0.7.4 is now available from SourceForge at
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=33343 DataVision
is an Open Source reporting tool similar to Crystal Reports. Reports
can be designed using a drag-and-drop GUI. They may be run, viewed, and
printed from the application or exported as HTML, XML, PDF, LaTeX2e,
DocBook, or tab- or comma-delimited text files. The output files
produced by LaTeX2e and DocBook can in turn be used to produce PDF,
text, HTML, PostScript, and more. Changes: * Moved from MinML to MinML2
XML parser. * Output app version number when printing stack traces. *
If a SQL table or column name can't be found, look for it again while
ignoring schema names. * Stop running a report after the first Ruby
script error. This way, you won't see the same error message over and
over. Bug fixes: * Parameters, formulas, and user columns can now
appear in suppression procs. * Fields, parameters, formulas, and user
columns are now found within suppression procs or the report's startup
script when a report is looking for them. This fixes a few related
problems. * The suppression proc edit command now appears properly in
the Undo and Redo Edit menu items.
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:

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:

Increasing Fuel Mileage With Hydrogen?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/20/0232253
cr0sh asks: "I was recently looking into the costs and availabilty
associated with small, hydrogen fuel cells (results: they are still
expensive), when I came across this site about the [0]Hydrogen-Boost
[Warning: Pop-ups]. Looking at this site, it seemed like just another
in the long line of scamming 'get more mileage/power' engine products
out there, but it intrigued me enough to continue looking into it. I
eventually came upon another site on [1]hydrogen experiments. A little
more searching revealed this one about [2]constructing your own
Hydro-Boost device, which goes into detail about how you would build
such a system. None of these sites answered the big questions, however:
'does it work?', and 'if so, how well?'. I also wanted something a
little more authoritative. So, back to digging...which came up with
this [3]paper from OSTI [PDF]. The very first line of the abstract of
this paper reads 'It is well known that hydrogen addition to
spark-ignited (SI) engines can reduce exhaust emissions and increase
efficiency.' This paper seems to advance the notion that such a system
like the 'Hydrogen Boost' system may actually work. Does Slashdot think
such a system would work? If so, how it could be improved, especially
given today's rapidly rising gasoline prices, here in America?"

Making The GPL Easier For Companies To Swallow
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/03/20/012224
stupidNewbie writes "There is a new GPL "wrapper" gaining momentum on
Capitol Hill. Dubbed O-STEP, the [0]Open Source Threshold Escrow
Program allows vendors to license their products until so many millions
are made, then agree to release the code under GPL. This sounds like a
good bridge for companies looking to tap into the strengths of open
source distribution." Starting from zero, it can certainly gain
momentum quickly -- sounds like a good idea though.

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

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
