Subject: makepp-1.10--powerful, compatible reimplementation of make
Date: Sun, 25 Feb 2001 00:05:29 GMT

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====


Make++ (or makepp) is a significant improvement on the capability of GNU
make, yet it uses a compatible syntax and can work with your old
makefiles.  Version 1.10 of makepp is now available.  This version fixes
a few bugs and improves compatibility with GNU make.

You can download it from the linux archive on ibiblio.org, or from the
makepp home page at

  http://LNC.usc.edu/~holt/makepp

Here's the README from the distribution:
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Make++ (or makepp) is a drop-in replacement for GNU make which has a
number of features that guarantee more reliable builds and allow simpler
build files.  It supports almost all of the syntax that GNU make
supports, and can be used with makefiles produced by utilities such as
automake.

makepp at present works only on Unix/linux systems, since it currently
depends on fork() and Unix filename and directory conventions.
Suggestions for porting and code contributions are welcome.

makepp is written entirely in perl.  It requires version 5.005 of perl
or better.  It's distributed under the terms of the perl Artistic
License, which means that it's freely available to anyone for just about
any purpose.

For the latest distribution, manual pages, and information about mailing
lists, please see the makepp home page, http://LNC.usc.edu/~holt/makepp.

Features:
    
o Makepp supports almost all makefile syntax that GNU make supports.
  Makepp is compatible enough with GNU make and stable enough to compile
  large packages, such as KDE 2.0.  (For details, see the manual section
  on old makefiles).

o Makepp automatically scans C/C++ sources for include files.  The
  implementation is flexible enough that support for other languages can
  be easily added.

o Makepp remembers the build command, and rebuilds if the command has
  changed, even if none of the files have changed.  This is useful if
  you change command line options (e.g., adding -DDEBUG or -g)--you
  don't have to do make clean.

o By default, makepp rebuilds if any dependency files have changed
  (even if they are still older than the target).  For example, if you
  replace a file with an older version, makepp knows to recompile.  This
  also means that makepp is not bothered by clock synchronization
  problems.  (If necessary, you can tell it to recompile only if the
  target is older than a dependency.)

o Makepp has a better system for handling makefiles spread across several
  directories.  makepp loads several makefiles simultaneously (keeping
  the variables and default directories separate), and it will realize
  automatically that a file needed by one makefile is built by a
  different makefile.  Recursive invocations of make are no longer
  necessary (but are still supported for backward compatibility).

o Makepp won't recompile if only comments or whitespace in
  C/C++ sources have changed.  This is especially important for header
  files which are automatically generated by other programs and are
  included in many modules.  Even if the date has changed because the
  file was remade, makepp won't recompile as long as the file's contents
  haven't changed.

o Makepp won't mix output from separate processes when running compilation
  commands in parallel.

o Makepp writes a log file explaining all of its build decisions,
  showing what each file depended on and what changed to cause each rule
  to be executed.  This makes debugging your makefiles much easier.

o Wildcards refer not only to files which already exist but to
  files which don't exist yet but which can be made.  Thus you can
  specify 
  
    libmine.so: *.o

  and the compilation will work properly even if none of the
  .o files exist yet.

o Makepp can automatically separate your source and object directories,
  even if your makefile is not written that way.  (This is like VPATH
  but is completely transparent, even for include files.)  Makepp can
  also build separate copies of your program with different compilation
  options or on different architectures, automatically keeping the
  output files separate--you don't have to modify your makefiles at all.
        
o You can ask makepp to infer what object files are necessary for
  your program if your source files follow the simple convention that
  the implementation of all the classes and functions in a .h file is
  contained in a .cxx, .cc, .C, or .cpp file of the same name.  This can
  often avoid the use of .a files.

o Makepp won't be confused by multiple names for the same file.  It realizes
  that xyz.o, ./xyz.o, and ../objects/xyz.o are the same file, and if
  you load a makefile in a subdirectory, it will recognize that
  references in that subdirectory to ../xyz.o refer to the same file as
  xyz.o in the main build directory.  It also won't be confused by soft
  links in directory names.

o Makepp supports filenames with special characters like space or ":".  Just
  put any filenames with special characters in single or double quotes.

o Makepp supports more easily understood synonymns for the cryptic
  symbols $@, $<, $^, etc.

o You can define your own text processing functions in perl if
  the default ones are not sophisticated or convenient enough.
  You can also embed perl code to manipulate the make variables directly
  in your makefile.

Why not cons?  cook?  bake?  icmake?  jam?

These are good make utilities too, with some of the same features,
especially those relating to reliable builds.  I wrote makepp because
(at the time) cons wasn't flexible enough.

makepp is likely to work with existing makefiles, because it tries hard
to emulate all the features of the standard make implementations while
nonetheless being safer.  It has been tested successfully on several
large systems of makefiles, including large projects controlled by
autoconf and automake.  And you don't have to learn any new syntax or
write any new files to use makepp; you can probably use your old
makefiles (with possibly only minor modifications).  On the other hand,
you can take advantage of makepp's additional features to simply your
makefiles.

Subject: qflib 0.98.0 - new version of free Java library released
Date: Sun, 25 Feb 2001 00:08:43 GMT

=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====


After a long wait, the new release of our free Java library is finally
available (see below for changes).

Download shortcut: http://www.qfs.de/en/download.html

Sometimes things simply don't go as planned. After the new release of
qflib got delayed initially, the work on our Java GUI test tool qftest
(see http://www.qfs.de/en/projects/qftest/index.html) required ever
more enhancements of qflib, so we just weren't able to get a well
tested release out the door.

It didn't help either that almost nobody wanted to help with beta
testing, so if you are using qflib and would like to see new releases
arrive on a more regular basis, please consider registering as a beta
tester for future updates (just send mail to qflib@qfs.de).

What is qflib?
==============

One of the key factors in the development of our products is the
reusability of their components. For that reason, many parts have been
separated into a library which has grown into a project of its own
under the name of qflib.

Packages include:
  - elaborate logging system with tool support
  - configuration management for user settings
  - lots of GUI stuff, especially a JTable extension that supports
    sorting and filtering with only a few lines of code
  - a collection of miscellaneous utilities, e.g. a command line
    parser, a thread pool, an extension to ResourceBundle and many
    more

Apart from the source code, complete Javadoc API documentation is
available as well as introductory documentation and examples in
English and German.

Detailed information and the current version are available at
http://www.qfs.de/en/projects/qflib/index.html

Changes in version 0.98.0
=========================

This release took far too long, so it includes quite a lot of changes.
Also included is a new demo for the option package in the demo directory.

New features:

- - The logging system has been redesigned to separate the issues of
  filtering, writing and formatting into specialized classes and
  interfaces. This time the changes are fully backwards compatible.
  Special thanks to Oliver Brandt of ATecoM GmbH who provided most of
  this code. Based on this there is now support for writing messages
  to a log file that is limited in size, starting a new one when it
  fills.

- - The LogSetup class in the util package can be used to set up the
  various aspects of the logging system through a wide range of
  command line arguments.

- - The option package has undergone a major overhaul:
  - Things look and behave nicer and there is better support for
    enabled/disabled edits and groups.
  - TextOptionEdits can have their own JScrollPane.
  - The new EditorOptionEdit can be used, among other things, to display
    and edit HTML.
  - RadioOptionGroups now can have a frame and title of their own.
  - The TextOption class now has static methods split and join to
    convert between a string array and a multi line string.
  - The OptionGroup/OptionEdit tree hierarchy has been made public
    and can be traversed.
  - OptionDialogs are now based on the new ModalDialog class so the
    buttons of an OptionDialog are now configurable.

- - A new common base class for message and option dialogs is introduced
  with gui/ModalDialog. It simplifies configuration of the buttons of
  a dialog.

- - The new class MultiMap is an implementation of the Map interface
  that stores more than one value per key. Initially written mainly as
  a base for the MRUCache (see below) it already proved its usefulness
  many times.

- - Based on the MultiMap, the new class MRUCache stores only a limited
  number of resources, keeping the most recently used ones when it
  starts to overflow. This is similar in a way to a WeakHashMap, but
  also works with JDK 1.1.

- - ExtensionFileFilter is a generic implementation of an extension
  based file filter that can be used with AWT, Swing and File.list().

- - The EventQueue now uses a trick to get inside the AWT event queue
  thread even for JDK 1.1. This means that the ExceptionHandler will
  now work for JDK 1.1 along with the other EventQueue hacks. There
  also is a new hack that fixes Alt-... keybindings for some Motif
  based JDKs (eg. IBM's JDKs for Linux), so menu shortcuts will work
  again.

- - Commands may now signal the CommandDistributor that they don't
  require a handler. This avoids UnhandledCommandExceptions for message
  type commands.

- - The ArgsParser has new methods to set default values for command line
  options and to ease evaluation of the parse result.

- - For better comformance with similar methods in option/OptionSet and
  util/ArgsParser, MapResourceBundle.getInteger has been deprecated and
  replaced with getInt.

- - util/MessageCollector now has an instance mechanism to associate
  collectors with the current thread.

 - A little utility called gui/EventQueueMark can be used to
   distinguish artificial events from user-generated ones.

 - The new config/RelativeDialogConfigWrapper class stores a dialog's
   location relative to some other window instead of its absolute
   position on the screen.

Bugs fixed:

- - SwingUtil.withEvents used together with qflib's EventQueue had
  problems under JDK 1.2. This lead to a deadlock in qflog when loading
  log files.

- - The EventQueue tab hack is now applied only for events with the
  SHIFT mask set. Otherwise using Alt-tab to switch to a Java window
  could cause generation of an artificial tab key input event.

- - SortedTableHelper now cancels table editing automatically when the
  sort order or the filter settings change.

- - The LevelTreeSelectionModel had a bug that caused a
  NullPointerException when the root of a tree was visible.

- - A timing problem in gui/MultiPane could cause the initial divider
  setting to override the saved and restored setting.

- - Message.showMessage now displays custom objects after the message
  instead of before.

- - log/TreeFilter could not be compiled without the JUnit framework.

- - The constant FATAL_ERROR in util/MessageCollector is now 3 (it was
  accidentally defined as 0).

- - showPopup in gui/SwingUtil didn't work if the parent component was
  itself a window. It also had a bug in constraining the popup to the
  window.

- - The Configurator had a bug in remove, that caused unregistration of
  the Configurable to fail.

- - When restoring the state of a JToolBar, the JToolBarConfigWrapper
  now takes care of the toolbar's orientation.

A few more feature adds and more bug fixes:
http://www.ntlug.org/~ccox/impress/impress/src/CHANGES

ImPress is a Tcl/Tk based desktop publishing and layout package.
It also supports presentations and it can run inside or
outside of a web browser.
  
 To download visit:
 http://www.ntlug.org/~ccox/impress/
  
 Read the documentation at:
 http://www.ntlug.org/~ccox/impress/impress/src/doc/impdoc.html


1.1-b7
- ------
 
o  Documentation changed to use JPEGs to avoid the Unisys noose.
 
o  Added OPTIONS file to distribution to describe the options
   that can be tweaked inside of ImPress (in lieu of having
   a utility to manipulate these).
 
o  Included Tk patch file so Tk can be capable of producing roughly
   WYSIWYG (sure wish this could be part of the Tk core).
   $ cd tk8.3.2/generic
   $ patch -p0 <tkFont-patch.diff
 
o  Improved understanding of what the opened document is when
   doing a "Save As".
 
o  Improved delay time in raising top level windows by explicitly
   raising them above ".".  (doesn't work in all cases...)
 
o  Improved kderc parsing.  Supports KDE2. (Doesn't support
   themes... but I know I can get most of that working...more later)
 
o  Fixed template bug.  Template parsing did not take into account
   that templates are saved with a dpi setting.  Need to push/save existing
   dpi, process template, and pop/restore dpi.
 
o  Fixed bug which causes text window to lower when opening a file
   for data.
 
o  Fixed bug where the FontFamily name is forgotten.... causing the
   Text Requestor to not be able to give the last font setting.

Andamooka hosts open content books for reading, annotation, and discussion. 
 Books include C++, Python, and Java programming books, KDE 2.0 
Development, GTK+/GNOME Application Development, Learning Debian, The 
Cathedral & The Bazaar, and Underground.

Andamooka Collections have been implemented.  Users can create collections 
of pages from the open content available on Andamooka.  These collections 
can be read online and shared with others.  For example, a system 
administrator might want to create documentation for the users s/he 
supports.  S/he can assemble relevant chapters from several open content 
books and annotate the pages to "localize" the documentation, creating a 
single, high quality, reference for local users.
