GNU FreeDink v1.08.20090918 and DFArc v3.4

2009-09-22 Thread Sylvain Beucler
GNU FreeDink is a humourous 2D adventure/action game.

It's a portable and improved version of the Dink Smallwood game which
was released as Free Software by its author Seth A. Robinson.

FreeDink can run the original game as well as its extensions called
Dink Modules or D-Mods for short.

FreeDink also comes with a game editor called FreeDinkedit, so you can
create your own world!


This new version v1.08.20090918 includes, among others:

- New logging system

- New architecture: PSP (playstation portable)

- Dink doesn't crash on very long lines in dink.ini or DinkC scripts

- Add support for contextual translations

- Toggle fullscreen works on more platforms (not just X11)

- NSIS (NullSoft Install System) script to generate a complete ms woe
  installer (with FreeDink, DFArc and freedink-data); it also can
  cross-compile from GNU/Linux.

Get it at:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/freedink/freedink-1.08.20090918.tar.gz
MD5:  0a7bc1e249c03538f5d51472fc73e0f4
SHA1: 413c277d1efb1ab6833f8f944ae99989f8b12283

It is worth noting that the PSP, a widespread game console, suffers
from what we call tivoization: the firmware refuses to load any
executable that was not signed by Sony.  Playing other executables
(homebrews) requires unlocking the firmware using a number of
tricks described at http://www.freedink.org/doc/psp/ .

This is quite a problem, and increasingly difficult to bypass.


DFArc is a graphical game front-end to play and manage D-Mods.
It was never properly announced on this list :)

Get it at:
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/freedink/dfarc-3.4.tar.gz
MD5:  69d3115b7d0c6c8e1a3db2b5e16e21fc
SHA1: ee576c178767cff1463a50250a573834c63ee365


Other FreeDink components include:

- freedink-data: game data released this year under the free zlib
  license (except for 3rd-party sounds) + some free replacements for
  the sounds

- Windinkedit: alternative windowed editor
  (C+Python+Gtk port, currently in hiatus)


FreeDink is packaged in several distributions including Debian,
Fedora, ArchLinux, OpenSUSE and FreeBSD, making it easy to install all
the related packages at once.


How to help:

- Provide more free replacements for the sounds
  http://www.freedink.org/doc/sounds/

- Translate the game in your language (with the Translation Project):

Zile 2.3.12 released

2009-09-22 Thread rrt
I am happy to announce the release of Zile 2.3.12,
the tiny Emacs clone.

This release fixes the +LINE command-line action, which was broken a
few releases ago, and makes a cosmetic fix to temporary buffers.


Zile's web page is at http://www.gnu.org/software/zile/

The signed source can be obtained from ftp.gnu.org and its world-wide
mirrors:

GNU Source-highlight 3.1.1 (with Library)

2009-09-22 Thread Lorenzo Bettini

GNU Source-highlight 3.1.1 has been released.  It is available from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/src-highlite/ and mirrors of that site (see
list of mirror sites at http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html).

GNU Source-highlight, given a source file, produces a document with
syntax highlighting.

Since version 3.0, source-higlight also provides a *C++ highlight
library* that you can use in your programs!

You can also find details about new features of source-highlight on my
blog, in this area:
http://tronprog.blogspot.com/search/label/source-highlight.

At the moment this package can handle

* Ada
* Autoconf files
* C/C++
* C#
* Configuration files (generic)
* Bib
* Bison
* Caml
* Changelog
* Css
* Diff
* Flex
* Fortran
* GLSL
* Haskell (new)
* Haxe
* Html
* ini files
* Java
* Javascript
* KDE desktop files
* Latex
* Ldap files
* Logtalk
* Log files
* lsm files (Linux Software Map)
* Lua
* Makefile
* M4
* ML
* Oz
* Pascal
* Perl
* pkg-config files
* PHP
* Postscript
* Prolog
* Properties files
* Python
* RPM Spec files
* Ruby
* Scala
* Shell
* S-Lang
* Sql
* Tcl
* Texinfo (new)
* XML
* XOrg conf files

as source languages, and

 HTML
 XHTML
 ANSI color escape sequences
 LaTeX
 Texinfo
 DocBook

as output format.

Language definition files and output language definition files, which
are part of source-highlight distribution, can also be downloaded
independently from, respectively:

* http://www.gnu.org/software/src-highlite/lang_files/
* http://www.gnu.org/software/src-highlite/outlang_files/

Source-highlight depends on the Boost regex library
(http://www.boost.org/) so you need to install this library (boost
libraries are usually shipped with most distributions).

Source-highlight can also generate cross references; in order to do this
it relies on GNU Ctags, http://ctags.sourceforge.net.

Version 3.1.1

   * access to static global LangDefManager, LangMaps is provided
 through the class Instances
   * mechanism for setting a global data dir value (e.g., to ensure
 consistency in a library) and for checking settings
   * library utility functions to retrieve .lang and .outlang files
   * fixed default output format to html.outlang not html.lang
   * SourceHighlight class return the output file extension
   * the background color for the document is kept empty if it is
 not specified in the style file
   * SourceHighlight.setLineNumberDigits: to
 explicitly set the number of digits for line numbers
   * utils.h file is installed in the header directory
   * white is a standard color in style files
   * language definition file for Texinfo
   * language definition file for Haskell (thanks to Sergey Astanin)

Visit the Source-highlight home page at
http://www.gnu.org/software/src-highlite

Anonymous CVS access is also available.  Please visit
http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/src-highlite/
where you can find detailed descriptions of how to access the CVS
(read-only).  Release-candidate versions are available
through CVS.

Bug reports should go to bug-source-highli...@gnu.org.

The following mailing lists are available:

* help-source-highli...@gnu.org, for generic discussions about the
program and for asking for help about it (open mailing list),
http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-source-highlight
* info-source-highli...@gnu.org, for receiving information about
new releases and features (read-only mailing list),
http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-source-highlight

if you want to subscribe to a mailing list just go to the URL and follow
the instructions, or send me an e-mail and I'll subscribe you.

cheers
Lorenzo
