Subject: Announcing speakup v-0.08, speech output for Linux
Date: Tue, 23 Nov 1999 23:42:17 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
Announcing the eighth alpha release, speakup v-0.08
Speakup is a screen review package for the Linux operating system. It
allows you to hear all output directed to the console and move around
the screen using the typical screen review functions.
This is an alpha release which means it is by no means complete.
It is quite usable in it's current incarnation though, with the
blaring lack of cursor output support. That means in an editor it
doesn't read each line as you move up and down the screen. It tracks
the cursor so you just need to do a say current line but it doesn't do
it all by itself. There is more to be said for cursor tracking and
speaking than meets the ear at first glance.
Speakup is a set of kernel patches which means you should have some
experience with kernel compiling. It currently works on the Linux
development kernels 2.2.7 or 2.3.x and above. At this release we are
at kernel 2.2.13 or 2.3.18 development.
What's new in v-0.08? Read the Changes file included in the tar
archive for full descriptions of my changes. Speakup now has
accompanying utilities load_spk for loading and dumping its configuration
settings. Speakup has a totally new device driver mechanism which
reduces the size of the driver code. Speakup now supports a number of
various synthesizers including the DoubleTalk PC, the LightTalk and
DoubleTalk LT, the Accent PC and SA/Transport, and last but not least
the Speakout. The current version is now configurable within the make
config system which will make installation much more straight forward.
The new features are go to position X or Y, to allow placement of the
reading cursor at any point on the screen. Pronunciation of
punctuation and control keys such as alt, shift and control.
Uninterruptable keystrokes set in the config file for loadspk. There
are also a number of bug fixes.
There is a mailing list for speakup which you are welcome to join if
you are interested in it's on going development. You can subscribe to
the mailing list by sending a message to listserv@braille.uwo.ca with
a line in the body of the message like this:
subscribe speakup (YourFirstName YourLastName)
The mailing list is currently a very low traffic forum so you probably
won't be overwhelmed with mail.
The official speakup distribution point is
ftp://ftp.braille.uwo.ca/pub/linux/speakup. The ftp area includes all
of the current speakup files and utilities. It also includes a
subdirectory containing older versions of speakup. There is a new
directory tree which contains the base debian installation disks with
speakup already installed, as well as boot images for Redhat and
Slackware. So if you have a doubleTalk card you can down load the
disk images and install your entire system with speech. The
installation disks currently contain speakup version-0.07. There is
also a Linux kernel image "linux" which contains speakup and the
drivers usually included in the Debian kernels. There are images
available for Slackware users as well. We will hopefully have boot
disks and or kernel images available for the newly supported synths in
the near future..
We are in the middle of writing a set of web pages for speakup. You
can check them out at http://www.braille.uwo.ca/speakup. We would
like to hear what you think of them and will gladly consider
recommendations on their improvement. We have what we consider a way
cool logo for the speakup project as well, it would be nice to hear
your opinions on that also.
Speakup is written by Kirk Reiser and Andy Berdan. It is covered by
the GPL (GNU Public License).
So, like I think that's about it. If you have any questions feel free
to write me at kirk@braille.uwo.ca. If you have any of the synths now
covered by speakup, we could really use your feedback. If you are
just diing to get involved in a software project, boy do we have a
bridge to sell you! 'grin'

Subject: Important Bugfix Release -- The Hoard multiprocessor memory allocator, version 1.3.1
Date: Tue, 23 Nov 1999 23:33:35 GMT
=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
This release fixes a serious bug caused by the newest version of libc
(2.1.2, included with Red Hat 6.1). A call to malloc() inside of atexit
resulted in deadlock. I've now included a patched version of atexit that
solves this problem.
Announcing release 1.3.1 of Hoard, a fast, scalable and memory-efficient
allocator for multithreaded applications on multiprocessors. Hoard
solves the heap contention problem caused when multiple threads
simultaneously call malloc() and free() (or new and delete).
Hoard scales linearly up to at least 14 processors and has guaranteed bounds
on memory consumption. You can use Hoard without changing any of your
source code: just link it in. Linking with Hoard can result in a
*dramatic* speedup of your application.
Supported systems include Linux, Solaris, IRIX (with pthreads and
sproc support), Windows NT, and with this release, the BeOS.
Hoard is distributed under the Lesser GNU Public License, so you may
freely distribute any application linked with Hoard. You can download
Hoard from the Hoard home page:

* Added a /steam command which puts a fizzle in your balloons.
* Added a /love command which puts littl hearts in your balloons.
* Added some color to SYSTEM messages so they stand out some.
Sat Nov 20 02:03:49 EST 1999 Beta 0.8 in progress
* When turning the log on or off, it will let the user know in the
text chat window.
Wed Nov 17 23:06:26 EST 1999 Beta 0.8 in progress
* Implemented colors within the chat. The colors will not appear
in the chat baloons, they will appear in the TextChat window
when it is opened. They will be stripped from the text which
appears in the main window user balloons. Please see the help
(which I have not written yet) on using colors. If you were ever
a mIRC user, you already may know how to use colors.
Mon Nov 15 22:48:41 EST 1999 Beta 0.8 in progress
* Calvin found a bug! It relates to failed avatar downloads. A
vairable used to show an avatar is in progress was not available
to the failed function.
