Subject: MMA - Musical Midi Accompaniment Beta 0.13
Date: Sun, 20 Mar 2005 13:01:29 CST
I'm pleased to announce the release of my program
mma - Musical MIDI Accompaniment
version: Beta 0.13
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 Python 2.3 (or later)
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-pdf -- documentation in PDF format.
mma-songs -- a collection of about 230 songs in MMA format.
If you get all four download packages the total size is still
less than 1.5 megabytes.
MMA is currently in final BETAs. We are hoping for a 1.0 release
in summer 2005. Right now we need 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
General Public License. It has been developed on a Linux platform,
but should be usable on just about any system. A detailed page now
exists on our web site on how-to install on a Windows system.
MMA is available on my personal home page:
http://mypage.uniserve.com/~bvdp/mma/index.html
If you have any questions or comments, please send them
to: bvdp@uniserve.com
Beta 0.13: Slash and custom chords, improved system macros, improved
warnings and many minor bug fixes.
Comments appreciated!

Subject: GnuPG 1.4.1 News (fwd)
Date: Sun, 20 Mar 2005 15:56:42 CST
========== Forwarded message ==========
Hello!
I forgot to insert the NEWS for 1.4.1; there are actually not that
many as those for the last release. Here we go:
* New --rfc2440-text option which controls how text is handled in
signatures. This is in response to some problems seen with
certain PGP/MIME mail clients and GnuPG version 1.4.0. More
details about this are available at
<http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-users/2005-January/024408.html>.
* New "import-unusable-sigs" and "export-unusable-sigs" tags for
--import-options and --export-options. These are off by
default, and cause GnuPG to not import or export key signatures
that are not usable (e.g. expired signatures).
* New experimental HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and FTPS keyserver helper
that uses the cURL library <http://curl.haxx.se> to retrieve
keys. This is disabled by default, but may be enabled with the
configure option --with-libcurl. Without this option, the
existing HTTP code is used for HTTP, and HTTPS, FTP, and FTPS
are not supported.
* When running a --card-status or --card-edit and a public key is
available, missing secret key stubs will be created on the fly.
Details of the key are listed too.
* The implicit packet dumping in double verbose mode is now sent
to stderr and not to stdout.
* Added countermeasures against the Mister/Zuccherato CFB attack
<http://eprint.iacr.org/2005/033>.
* [W32] The algorithm for the default home directory changed:
First we look at the environment variable GNUPGHOME, if this one
is not set, we check whether the registry entry
{HKCU,HKLM}\Software\GNU\GnuPG:HomeDir has been set. If this
fails we use a GnuPG directory below the standard application
data directory (APPDATA) of the current user. Only in the case
that this directory cannot be determined, the old default of
c:\gnupg will be used. The option --homedir still overrides all
of them.
* [W32] The locale selection under Windows changed. You need to
enter the locale in the registry at HKCU\Software\GNU\GnuPG:Lang.
For German you would use "de". If it is not set, GnuPG falls
back to HKLM. The languages files "*.mo" are expected in a
directory named "gnupg.nls" below the installation directory;
that directory must be stored in the registry at the same key as
above with the name "Install Directory".
* Add new --edit-key command "bkuptocard" to allow restoring a
card key from a backup.
* The "fetch" command of --card-edit now retrieves the key using
the default keyserver if no URL has been stored on the card.
* New configure option --enable-noexecstack.
Shalom-Salam,
Werner

Subject: GNU/Archimedes 0.0.3 released (fwd)
Date: Sun, 20 Mar 2005 16:06:52 CST
========== Forwarded message ==========
I am pleased to announce that GNU/Archimedes 0.0.3 has been released.
Archimedes is the GNU package to help in designing and simulating submicron
semiconductor devices.
It is a 2D Monte Carlo simulator which can take into account all the relevant
quantum effects by means of Bohm effective potential. It can simulate both
Silicon and GaAs materials which are the most relevant in the semiconductors
industry. The description of the device is very general and made by means of a
simple script language. Some interesting results have been obtained and are
available on the web page. A new version in which you can use the MEP (Maximum
Entropy Principle) model, to make the Monte Carlo simulations being faster, is
under construction and will be released as soon as possible.
It's available from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/archimedes/ [via http] and
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/archimedes/ [via FTP], and from the GNU mirrors
(list at http://www.gnu.org/prep/ftp.html).
The web page is http://www.gnu.org/software/archimedes.
