Subject: GNU Libidn 0.4.3 alpha released (fwd)
========== Forwarded message ==========
GNU Libidn is an implementation of the Stringprep, Punycode and IDNA
specifications defined by the IETF Internationalized Domain Names
(IDN) working group, used for internationalized domain names. The
library contains a generic Stringprep implementation that does Unicode
3.2 NFKC normalization, mapping and prohibitation of characters, and
bidirectional character handling. Profiles for Nameprep, iSCSI, SASL
and XMPP are included. Punycode and ASCII Compatible Encoding (ACE)
via IDNA are supported. A mechanism to define Top-Level Domain (TLD)
specific validation tables, and to compare strings against those
tables, is included. Default tables for some TLDs are also included.
Here are the compressed sources:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libidn/libidn-0.4.3.tar.gz (1.6)

a236838ae97200a91464e953e89699709ec5a2a1 libidn-0.4.3.tar.gz.sig
Noteworthy changes since version 0.4.2:
* Version 0.4.3 (released 2004-04-22)
** Fixed a bug in table processing code to prohibit control characters.
The problem was that the code used a code point of 0 to indicate end
of table, but if (as for table C.2.1) a range starts with 0, this
logic would fail. The end-of-table test is now that both the start
and end code points of the range is 0. Table C.2.1 is responsible for
prohibiting non-ASCII control characters, i.e. ASCII 0-31 and 127.
Before, libidn silently accepted such strings without complaining.
** A few test vectors for SASLprep were added.
** The pkg-config script no longer include a -R parameter.
** More translations.
Added Dutch (by Elros Cyriatan), and German (by Roland Illig).
** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version.

Subject: Musical MIDI Accompaniment 0.7
Date: 23 Apr 2004 10:20:15 GMT
I'm pleased to announce the release of my program
mma - Musical MIDI Accompaniment
version: Beta 0.7
MMA is a accompaniment generator -- it creates midi tracks
for a soloist to perform over from a user supplied
file containing chords and MMA directives.
MMA is very versatile and generates excellent tracks. It comes
with an extensive user-extendable library with a variety of
patterns for various popular rhythms, an extensive user manual,
and several demo songs.
MMA is a command line driven program. It creates MIDI files
which need a sequencer or MIDI file play program.
MMA is written in Python. You'll need version 2.2 of Python
for MMA to function.
MMA is supplied in 4 tar.gz archives. Included:
mma-bin -- the main script and library files).
mma-html -- documentation in HTML format.
mma-ps -- documentation in Postscript format.
mma-songs -- a collection of about 120 songs in MMA format.
If you get the entire download package it is well under 1meg in size.
MMA is currently in BETA. We are looking for lots of help in debugging
the program, creating songs for distribution, and new and improved
library files.
Best of all, MMA is free. It is released under the terms of the GNU
public license. It has been developed on a Linux platform, but should
be usable on just about any system.
MMA is available on my personal home page:
http://mypage.uniserve.com/~bvdp/mma/mma.html
If you have any questions or comments, please send them
to:
bvdp@uniserve.com
Enjoy!
Beta 0.7: new packaging, HTML docs, Solo/Melody tracks, dynamic track
allocation, general cleanups and a few new commands. Also, make
note of the NEW home site and my new email address!
Comments appreciated!
