Date: 24 Jun 2003 20:10:01 GMT
Announcing the 0.3 version update of the YAWL word list package. This is
with the intention of -- and it already has -- encourage to development
of anagramming word games for Linux.
Why indeed is there even a need for Yet Another Word List? The
notorious "linux.words" list, the public domain "Websters 2", the
ispell and cracklib dictionaries, not to mention various and sundry
purported Scrabble (R) lists are already available in electronic
form. None of these, though, are optimized for word game use and as
comprehensive as the YAWL. At 264,057 words, this list subsumes the
SOWPODS list beloved of international Scrabble (R) players. There
is no arbitrary word length cutoff, and even words longer than 20
letters find a place in the list.

BEAST/BSE version 0.5.3 is available for download at:
ftp://beast.gtk.org/pub/beast/v0.5
or
http://beast.gtk.org/beast-ftp/v0.5
This is a quick update to fix crashes upon script initialization
on some systems where short writes can occour.
BEAST (the Bedevilled Audio SysTem) is a graphical front-end to
BSE (the Bedevilled Sound Engine), a library for music composition,
audio synthesis and sample manipulation. The project is hosted at:
http://beast.gtk.org
This new development series of BEAST comes with a lot of
the internals redone, many new GUI features and a sound
generation back-end separated from any GUI activities.
The most outstanding new features are the track editor which allowes
for easy selection of synthesizers or samples as track sources, loop
support and unlimited UnDo/ReDo capabilities.
Note, the .bse file format hasn't fully stabilized yet, so
incompatibilities with future versions may occur, though we're
making every possible attempt to maintain backwards compatibility.
Overview of Changes in BEAST/BSE 0.5.3:
* Seperated core plugin loading from LADSPA plugin loading
* Fixed memory leaks in various places
* Added child process (bsesh) error monitoring
* Fixed bsesh (script) communication for systems with short writes
