Subject: ANNOUNCE: SCons goes beta w/release 0.90, adds Visual Studio support
Date: 26 Jun 2003 02:55:01 GMT
SCons is a software construction tool (build tool, or make tool) written
in Python. It is based on the design which won the Software Carpentry
build tool competition in August 2000.
SHAMELESS PLUG: Come attend the SCons BOF at the O'Reilly Open
Source convention, Thursday, July 10th from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m.
http://conferences.oreillynet.com/cs/os2003/view/e_sess/4346
Beta version 0.90 of SCons has been released and is available for
download from the SCons web site:
http://www.scons.org/
Or through the download link at the SCons project page at SourceForge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/scons/
RPM and Debian packages and a Win32 installer are all available, in
addition to the traditional .tar.gz and .zip files.
WHAT'S NEW IN THIS RELEASE?
IMPORTANT: Release 0.90 contains the following interface changes:
- SCons now checks for the existence of Microsoft Visual Studio on
disk before using it (to avoid getting misled by bogus stuff left
over in the registry). SCons might not find a copy of Visual
Studio if it's an older version that installed itself in a default
directory that we haven't seen before; please let us know if that
seems to be the case.
See the release notes for more information about these changes.
This release adds the following features:
- SCons now supports Microsoft Visual Studio .NET.
- SCons now support Microsoft Visual Studio project
(.dsp, .dsw, .sln and .vcproj) files.
- An M4 Builder has been added.
- Support for the Intel C Compiler (icl.exe) has been added.
- The SConf subsystem can now check for specific functions and types.
The following fixes have been added:
- Portability to non-GNU versions of lex and yacc has been improved.
- Library prefixes now work correctly in a subdirectory that matches
the prefix.
- Options are now saved as their actual value type (not all as
strings), values that contain single quotes are now stored
correctly, and any non-default Option values is stored regardless of
how it was changed.
- The temporary file name used to link long command line on Win32
systems now has a .lnk suffix (necessary for some tool chains).
- SCons now generates an error if a construction variable is
not the same form as a valid Python identifier.
- The "-h" option no longer requires the distutils package.
- Up-to-date messages now quote the targets like Make
(`backquote-quote') instead of with double quotes.
- SCons now correctly builds targets above the current directory
when the -u, -U or -D options are used.
- The -n option no longer updates the .sconsign file signatures.
- Import('*') to import all Export()ed variables now works properly.
- The SConf subsystem now works properly with the -n and -q options,
when using SConscriptChdir(), with paths containing white space, and
with Builders that return lists of nodes.
The documentation has been improved:
- A bug in the _concat() function documentation has been fixed.
- The no_import_lib construction variable is now documented.
- Added clarifying text that $*FLAGS variables do not automatically
contain their corresponding $_*INCFLAGS values.
- New features have been documented.
ABOUT SCONS
Distinctive features of SCons include:
- a global view of all dependencies; no multiple passes to get
everything built properly
- configuration files are Python scripts, allowing the full use of a
real scripting language to solve difficult build problems
- a modular architecture allows the SCons Build Engine to be
embedded in other Python software
- the ability to scan files for implicit dependencies (#include files);
- improved parallel build (-j) support that provides consistent
build speedup regardless of source tree layout
- use of MD5 signatures to decide if a file has really changed; no
need to "touch" files to fool make that something is up-to-date
- easily extensible through user-defined Builder and Scanner objects
- build actions can be Python code, as well as external commands
An scons-users mailing list is available for those interested in getting
started using SCons. You can subscribe at:
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/scons-users
Alternatively, we invite you to subscribe to the low-volume
scons-announce mailing list to receive notification when new versions of
SCons become available:

Subject: bogofilter-0.13.7.1 - new current release
Date: 26 Jun 2003 20:25:19 GMT
Bogofilter is a mail filter that classifies mail as spam or ham (non-spam)
by a statistical analysis of the message's header and content (body). The
program is able to learn from the user's classifications and corrections.
The statistical technique is known as the Bayesian technique and its use
for spam was described by Paul Graham in his article "A Plan For
Spam". Gary Robinson, in his weblog Rants, suggests some refinements for
improved discrimination between spam and ham. Bogofilter's primary
algorithm uses the f(w) parameter and the Fisher inverse chi-square
technique that he describes.
Bogofilter is run by an MDA script to classify an incoming message as spam
or ham (using wordlists stored by BerkeleyDB). Bogofilter provides
processing for plain text and html, supports multi-part mime message with
decoding of base64, quoted-printable, and uuencoded text and ignores
attachments, such as images.
Bogofilter is written in C. Supported platforms: Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris,
OS X, HP-UX, AIX, ...
******* ******* ******* ******* *******
Bogofilter-0.13.7.1 has been released on SourceForge.Net as the "new
current release". Bogofilter has very few and very minor
updates. Bogotune, however, has been significantly improved with bug fixes
and summary output reformatted for readability and for "cut and paste"
addition into bogofilter.cf.
