Subject: PLT Scheme 207 available
PLT Scheme v207 is now available from
http://download.plt-scheme.org/
This version adds new collections, while work is going on for v300:
* PLoT is a new collection that provides an interface for drawing
plots. There is a basic interface for common plot types, as well as
an advanced one for creating custom types. See the relevant
help-desk manual for details.
* FrTime (Father Time) is a new language that supports the declarative
construction of reactive systems through signals (time varying
values). If this sentence doesn't excite you, just switch to the
FrTime language and evaluate this variable:
seconds
and this expression:
(build-list (quotient seconds 10) add1)
and watch.
* A new manual for the web server is available for installation
through help desk.
* A revised draw.ss teachpack supports functions for dealing with
clock events and key stroke events. This allows students to write
animations on day 1. See the revised documentation.
* ProfessorJ:
- The Full language version of ProfessorJ is released, for
experimental use. We do not yet support all language features
(including nested classes, switch, and labeled statements). The
Beginner language now supports super calls, see the ProfessorJ
Beginner language manual.
- ProfessorJ supports a draw.ss-equivalent package now (import
draw.*;). See the doc.txt file.
- ProfessorJ now includes two experimental, design-oriented wizards.
See the Special menu.
* Windows users will be pleased to know that double-clicking a Scheme
file will re-use an existing DrScheme process rather than starting a
new one.

Subject: DisOrder 0.10.2 - digital audio jukebox
I have released version 0.10.2 of DisOrder, a digital audio jukebox for
Linux systems.
There are too many changes since the last version announce in
comp.os.linux.announce to conveniently list here. Instead see the web
pages or the source tarball.
* About DisOrder
DisOrder allows multiple users to select tracks from a collection of
audio files, and have them played in order. If nobody chooses anything,
tracks can be picked at random. Playing tracks can be interrupted if
the listener(s) don't like them.
Features include:-
* Template-driven web interface
* Play any file format you can supply a player for
* Multiple track collections
* Command-line interface
* Select tracks or have them picked at random
* List current, queued and recently played tracks
* Hierarchical navigation through track collections
* Word search on filenames
* Calculates track lengths for known formats and estimates start
time of queued tracks
* Scratch unpopular tracks
* Convert track filenames into artist/album/title with regexps
* Plugins for various features:
o Calculating track length
o Choosing tracks for random play
o Sourcing tracks
o Event notification
o Playing tracks
* Supports multiple character encodings
* Volume control
* Edit track preferences via the web interface
DisOrder is written in GNU C and licenced under the GPL. It has only
been tested under Linux but could probably be run on other UNIX
platforms with a little effort.
