Subject: Vstr 0.9.21 (string library in C)
Date: Mon, 13 Jan 2003 15:11:05 CST
About
=====
Vstr is a string library designed for network communication, but
applicable in a number of other areas. It works on the idea of
separate nodes of information, and the length/ptr model and not the
termination model of "C strings". It does dynamic resizing of strings
as you add/delete data.
It can also do automatic referencing for mmap() areas of memory, and
includes a portable version of a printf-like function (which is ISO
9899:1999 compliant, and includes support for i18n parameter position
modifiers).
Other convienience functions are also included, so you can: easily
split data from a string into sections (similar to perl's split
function); and get string data from a socket or put data to a
socket.

Subject: K15 0.4.0 released
Date: Mon, 13 Jan 2003 15:11:09 CST
Reply-To: andreabergia@yahoo.it
Hi everyone,
I'm announcing the new release of K15, a fifteen game for KDE.
It requires KDE 3.x to build (It builds on KDE CVS and 3.0.1), automake 1.6
and autoconf 2.54.
It's a stable release, and it includes the translation in italian.
You can download it from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=70142&release_id=133202
This release fix some bugs, and build on KDE 3.0 systems. Now the user can
select a pixmap or a color for the background of the field, instead of only
a pixmap. This make draw much faster.

From: "Remi Delon" <remi@cherrypy.org>
Subject: CherryPy-0.8 released
Date: Mon, 13 Jan 2003 15:11:13 CST
We're pleased to announce the release of CherryPy-0.8.
This release adds a brand new HTTP server that supports SSL, XML-RPC,
threading, forking and process pool.
The documentation has also been improved: the tutorial now has a section
about deploying a CherryPy server for production and several HowTos have
been added.
==========================================
About CherryPy:
CherryPy is a Python-based tool for developing dynamic websites. It
uses many powerful concepts together, which makes it unique in its
approach to website development.
CherryPy sits between an application server and a compiler. You write
source files, compile them with CherryPy and CherryPy generates an
executable containing everything to run the website (including an HTTP
server).
It is released under the GPL license.
CherryPy has been used in production for more than a year and it has proven
fast and robust.
Key properties/features of CherryPy are:
- Based exclusively on Python (runs everywhere Python runs)
- Delivers fast, robust, and scalable websites
- Developers can use OOP as well as AOP (Aspect Oriented Programming)
concepts to develop web sites
- True separation of content and presentation
- Simple but powerful templating language
- "HTML editor safe" templating language (templates can go back and forth
between designers and developers)
- Powerful standard libraries to make your life easy
Other properties/features are:
- Can be linked to many databases (Oracle, Sybase, MySql, PostgreSql,
...)
- Can run behind another webserver (Apache, ...)
- Easy clustering and load-balancing set up for high-traffic websites
- Built-in caching capability
- SSL support (based on PyOpenSSL)
- XML/XSL support (based on 4Suite)
- Built-in XML-RPC support
Remi.
