Subject: easibox-0.5.0 released
I've just released version 0.5.0 of my Easibox utility, which is
used to automate the creation of archive files (tar, tar.gz, tgz,
tar.bz2 and zip formats), typically for open source projects.
New features in Easibox 0.5.0
=============================
Version 0.5.0 adds new features to Easibox:
* Support for the .Z file type
* More intuitive treatment of hidden files, fixing what is arguably
a bug, or arguably bad user interface design.
Further information
===================
Easibox is written in Python and licensed under the GNU General
Public License; see file COPYING (which comes with the
distribution) for details.

From: j.anders@informatik.tu-chemnitz.de
Subject: NoteEdit 2.4.2
Version 2.4.2 of the musical score editor NoteEdit is available:
http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/~jan/noteedit/noteedit.html
New features:
- Problems with Flex-2.5.x fixed.
The new Flex begins to behave according to
its documentation. This causes problems during
file reading: All dotted notes are wrong.
This in turn leads to totally idiotic and unaligned scores.
- MusiXTeX export with choices for character coding:
1. selection the module fonts TeX (T2A, OT2, OT1...)
2. selection the locale file (latin1, cp1251, koi8-u, koi8-r...)
3. additional selection of package ucs for UTF-8
This sould make it possible to work with international
character sets. Don't ask me too much about this topic!
All I know is:
T2A + cp1251 + UTF-8 produces Russian (Cyrillic) texts.
T2A + ucs + UTF-8 produces Urkrainian texts.
If you have problems with your character set and you know
what to do: Let me know!
- In similar manner the LilyPond export dialog now
shows a choice between ASCII, latin1, utf8
and unicode text coding. Perhaps this can contribute
to internationalization.(?)
- a terrible slur bug which prevented saved .not
files from being loaded is fixed
- Restoring slurs in graces should work. This can lead to
problems for MUP users. The reason is: I want to keep
the NoteEdit storage format as MUP-able as possible.
Actually slurs over more than one note are made
by so-called "phrases" by giving the start and stop time
in terms of the current denominator
of the time signature.
For instance slur from 1st to 4th quarter in 4/4 measure:
1: 4c; 4d; 4e; 4f;
phrase 1: 1 til 3;
Unfortunatly, graces have all the same start time and
the main note has also the same start time:
1: [grace] 8c; [grace] 8d; [grace] 8e; 4f;
phrase 1 til 1
This gives nonsense. So, I "extended" the MUP syntax.
Of course, the result is not MUP-able.
- MusicXML in-/ouput further improved (Thanks to Leon Vinken):
+ is now more interchangeable with other systems (especially on
M$-Windows)
+ better handling of trills
+ better handling of dynamics (hairpins)
- Bugs fixed:
Among them - wrong LilyPond stem statements in
"no keep stems" case
- paste inserts a lot of nonsense rests
in multiple voices per staff case
