Subject: xmlppm 0.96 -- a fast, effective XML compressor
Date: Thu, 24 May 2001 21:24:04 GMT

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


xmlppm 0.96 -- release announcement
- -------------------------------------


What is xmlppm?
- ---------------

Xmlppm is an XML-specific compressor based on the state-of-the-art PPM
text compression algorithm.  Xmlppm can compress XML files from 5% to
20% better than bzip2 (which typically does better than gzip).  Xmlppm
also compresses better than the "plain" version of XMILL, another
XML-specific compressor (although it may be possible to do better with
XMILL by fine-tuning its command-line options).

New in version 0.96
- -------------------

This is a major upgrade.  Xmlppm now uses a much more efficient,
effective underlying text compressor, namely Dmitry Shkarin's PPMDG
implementation.  As a result, xmlppm is now *faster* than bzip2, within
a factor fof 2 of gzip, *and* compresses better than the old version. 
Of course, files compressed with 0.96 are not compatible with files
compressed with 0.95, but them's the breaks.

Xmlppm is currently in an alpha state; I feel that it is "close to" a
stable state (hence the rather high release number), but could be
wrong.  Bug reports would be incredibly helpful.  So would ideas for how
to make the programmer most useful for XML developers.

The source of xmlppm is available online at Sourceforge under the terms
of the GPL.  Xmlppm still needs improvement and testing before it will
be reliable enough for general use.  Development assistance would be
incredibly helpful also.


How does it work?
- -----------------

Xmlppm uses expat to parse the input document into a sequence of SAX
event handler calls.  Each event handler sends information that
encodes the event to one of four text compressors (using the PPM text
compression algorithm), one each for a symbol table, element tag
stream, attribute tag stream, and plain text stream.  Separating the
encoded event information this way avoids the problem of "dilution"
where a single model tries to adapt to multiple different sources mixed
together.  On the other hand, breaking the data up can harm compression
by breaking patterns that cross over from the element to attributes or
character streams.  To make up for this, xmlppm tells the models about
symbols from other streams that are inferrable from context and so
don't need to be encoded or decoded.

This is a rather terse description; see the xmlppm web page,

http://xmlppm.sourceforge.net/

for more information.

Getting xmlppm
- --------------

The source release and CVS tree are at

http://sourceforge.net/projects/xmlppm/

To compile xmlppm, you will also need the expat XML parsing library
installed.

Xmlppm is known to work on Windows NT and i386 Linux, and I would guess
that it works on other Unix platforms as well, but I have not tested it.


Thanks to Bill Teahan, Alistair Moffat, and Dmitry Shkarin for allowing
me to make use of their arithmetic coding and PPM implementations and to
place them under the GPL as part of xmlppm.  Thanks also to the expat
developers.

Subject: Heroes 0.11: a GPL game a-la Nibbles, just better.
Date: Thu, 24 May 2001 21:30:25 GMT

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


I am pleased to announce the conjoint release of Heroes 0.11
and its complementary data package, Heroes-data 1.1.

Heroes is similar to the "Tron" and "Nibbles" games of yore, but
includes many graphical improvements and new game features.
In it, you must maneuver a small vehicle around a world and collect
powerups while avoiding obstacles, your opponents' trails, and even
your own trail.

There are five game modes available.  Quest is the classical
Nibbles, in Death Match you start with very long tails a must kill your
opponents, in Kill'em All you must run over lemmings moving on the
ground, in Time Cash or Color modes you must collect money or pyramids
of color.  Heroes features 12 original sound tracks, 94 levels (in 10
different tile sets) plus a level editor.

You are invited to visit the following links:
  home page:    http://heroes.sourceforge.net/
  screenshots:  http://heroes.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html
  download:     http://heroes.sourceforge.net/download.html

Notes:
 a) This is a source code release, the `download' page also lists
    binary packages which might not be up-to-date yet.
 b) Heroes 0.11 requires Heroes-data 1.1 (released conjointly)
    and will NOT work with Heroes-data 1.0.

NEWS in this version merely carry bug fixes,
see the NEWS file for details.

HELP!  Heroes development is open to anyone and we welcome any
contribution.  In the hypothetical case you would like to spend some
time on the source code and don't know what to do, please, ask the
mailing list: there is presently some (non-boring) tasks that needs to
be done and for which understanding the full source tree is not a
prerequisite.

Subject: New Kernel RPMs with crypto support available
Date: Thu, 24 May 2001 21:24:26 GMT

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


Hello,

I have compiled ready-for-use RPM packages for the 2.4.3 linux kernel,
taken from the mandrake-devel 2.4.3-27 version, and including the
international cryptographic patch (http://www.kerneli.org).

These packages bring to the linux kernel support for on-the-fly
encrypted filesystems, a feature comparable to what tools like
Scramdisk or PGPDisk do on other proprietary OSes.

This packages are experimental and non-official, they are not
supported by Mandrakesoft.

This packages were made on a Mandrake 8.0 system and are fully
compatable with it. They should be as well compatable with Mandrake 7.2
systems or recent RedHats, but this is yet untested.

******************************************************************************
Willing to promote the use of the decentralized, anonymous, encrypted,
peer-to-peer Freenet network, I have decided that I would upload the current
and upcoming releases of my crypto-kernel stuff to Freenet only, where it 
can
be easily downloaded from -- provided you have installed a Freenet client on
your system of course!

To grab a Freenet client and see how the marvel works ;-) take a look at:
http://www.freenetproject.org

You will need a Java machine in working order, Sun JDK:
jdk-sun-1.2.2-3mdk.i586.rpm gives good results with Freenet (and brings
Java support to Konqueror as well...)
(You may experience trouble if you try running Freenet with Kaffee, but your
mileage may vary)
******************************************************************************
Once you have a Freenet installation in working order on your system, get 
the
following key thru fproxy:

freenet:MSK@crypto/linux/kernel/2.4.3-27mdkcrypto//

or the equivalent:

freenet:MSK@SSK@j3sufQahxpFZoRGh3JQsQNpF-vQQAgE/crypto/linux/kernel/2.4.3-27mdkcrypto//

You'll be presented with a web page that will allow you to download all the
necessary files.

(To access fproxy, once a Freenet node is running on your system, just open
your favourite web browser, and request the URL http://127.0.0.1:8081
- From there you can request the key mentioned above)
******************************************************************************

Your feedback and comments are welcome.

Subject: LEAP RDBMS v1.2.5.2
Date: Thu, 24 May 2001 21:25:13 GMT

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


This post is to announce the release of v1.2.5.2 of the LEAP RDBMS, 
precompiled Linux and FreeBSD distributions, and a completely redesigned 
home page that is hopefully much clearer and more informative.

LEAP is a free relational database management system (RDBMS) that is
sed by an increasing number of universities around the world as a part
of their database courses. LEAP fully supports the relational algebra,
and the behavioral components of the relational model. It is intended
as a teaching tool and foundation for further work.

Full information, download details, a demonstration, and online user
guides, are all available from the LEAP web pages:

http://leap.sf.net

or:

http://sf.net/projects/leap

LEAP is under constant development, and supports a wide range of
Operating systems including Linux, Solaris, HP-UX, Windows 95/NT, AIX
and others. LEAP is distributed under the terms of the GNU General

Subject: ASPSeek 1.2.0 search engine software released
Date: Thu, 24 May 2001 21:25:27 GMT

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


Hello,

After a few months of development, we are happy to announce
new stable release of ASPSeek - 1.2.0.

Changes since 1.0.x branch are:

* UNICODE storage mode, that makes it possible to deal
  with many languages/encodings at once. Even multibyte
  encodings are supported, such as Chinese.
* Improved speed of indexing a lot due to new database
  format and better thread concurrency
* SQL backend architecture with plug-in database drivers
* Oracle 8i support as a backend
* External converters support to deal with DOC, PDF, PS and any
  other data types
* Some new template sections and variables, that means even
  more configurable s.cgi output
* More portability/compatibility with various UNIX variants

We recommend anybody who's using 1.0.x to upgrade to 1.2.0 now.
Brief upgrade info can be found in README file from 1.2.0 tarball.

Download new version from http://www.aspseek.org/ as usual
