In my eternal quest to create more infrastructure and less content, I added a new server.  I've been wanting to try out Mac OS X Server for quite awhile, but it's expensive.  So is the hardware.  So when Apple came out with a Mac Mini with Server installed, I jumped on it.  The server is set up now, and I have most of the things working on it.  It'll take a little while to adapt everything to MySQL (or install PostgreSQL on the Mini), and I decided against the whole Firewall/VPN/NAT/DHCP combo right now (it really needs at least 2 ethernet interfaces, maybe 3, and WiFi doesn't cut it).  It could turn out to be a really handy box for a wide variety of applications.  It comes with wiki and blog​ software for intranets, although predictably I have no content on those yet.  I also tried out iWeb for the Home Page.

Tuesday, 14 April 2009 13:31:00
 Version 2.3 of the application is running now.  I've added some more Ext Javascript to the pages, including an admin app, an image gallery and this cool HTML editor in the edit page, so I can add a splash of color to my blog posts.  I also updated some parts of the Query/Search windows, specifically the keyword selection box.  I still need to add the "All" and "None" keywords.  Progress is being made.

Things still left to do:
...and anything else I can think of.

Monday, 23 March 2009 16:37:00

This is a work in progress. I just added the Ext JavaScript library, and wrote a function which takes the regular home page and goes through the DOM tree and puts a bunch of stuff into cute little collapsible boxes. I'll be doing more using DWR AJAX and Ext in other areas of the site as time goes on.

Update: Got the admin screen done (but you can't see that so you'll have to trust me).

v4l-utils is a collection of various video4linux (V4L) and DVB utilities. libv4l is an accompanying collection of libraries that adds a thin abstraction layer on top of video4linux2 (V4L2) devices. The purpose of this layer is to make it easy for application writers to support a wide variety of devices without having to write separate code for different devices in the same class. It consists of 3 different libraries. libv4lconvert offers functions to convert from any (known) pixel format to V4l2_PIX_FMT_BGR24 or V4l2_PIX_FMT_YUV420. libv4l1 offers the (deprecated) v4l1 API on top of v4l2 devices, independent of the drivers for those devices supporting v4l1 compatibility (which many v4l2 drivers do not). libv4l2 offers the v4l2 API on top of v4l2 devices, while adding support for the application transparent libv4lconvert conversion where necessary.

Changes: This development release combines utilities from the v4l-dvb mercurial kernel as v4l-utils with the previous libv4l into a common distribution. v4l-keytable has been renamed to ir-keytable, and now better supports IR. libv4l adds several laptop models to the list of upside-down devices. Pixart JPEG markers removal was fixed. The whitebalance and gamma defaults of various sonixj and sonixb based cams were improved. Gamma correction is now enabled by default on pac7302 based cams. Convert errors in the first few frames of a stream are now ignored.

Smaky is a system developed in Switzerland at the EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique F??d??rale de Lausanne).

Changes: Many improvements in the build scripts and Makefiles for Linux, *BSD, and Windows. For Windows, g++ is not needed anymore. The code was rewritten in C. Support was added for the Smaky .COLOR file format through the FUSE extension; the images are converted on the fly to the XPM (v2) format.

Surealived is a effective LVS (Linux Virtual Server) service tester. It is based on epoll and allows you to detect your hosts' state using HTTP, TCP, DNS, exec, and a universal LUA embedded tester. SSL is also supported. Testers are dynamic modules, and you can extend and write your own modules. You can also dynamicaly change the weight or set real states at run-time. Test states are injected into the kernel IPVS table using the ipvssync application. Configuration is highly extensible, so many testing protocols can be implemented easily.

Changes: The notify_up and notify_down hook scripts were added. Now surealived will trigger such a script when the expected virtual weight or number of reals is exceeded. Notifications are remembered in the notify dump file to prevent calling them twice.

HyperSQL is like the doxygen program with javadoc added - but for SQL. It hypermaps SQL views, packages, procedures, and functions to HTML source code listings, and it shows all the code locations where these are used. The internal "where used" functionality also scans C++ and Java source files. HyperSQL is written in Python for operating system independence.

Changes: This release adds two major features: Basic JavaDoc verification stuff (which allow you to define mandatory tags, for example) and calculation of "lines of code" and some more statistics. Results in both cases can be displayed in additional pages. Additionally, the "false positives" with "local where_used" have been hopefully fixed.

Zorba is a general-purpose XQuery processor implementing in C++ the W3C family of specifications. It is not an XML database. The query processor has been designed to be embeddable in a variety of environments, such as other programming languages extended with XML processing capabilities, browsers, database servers, XML message dispatchers, or smartphones. Its architecture employes a modular design, which allows customizing the Zorba query processor to the environment???s needs. In particular, the architecture of the query processor allows a pluggable XML store (e.g. main memory, DOM stores, persistent disk-based large stores, and S3 stores).

Changes: The following specifications are implemented in this version: XQuery 1.0 (with schema validation) (99.5%W3C tests success rate), XQuery Update (97.2%), XQueryX (98.5% success rate for XQuery 1.0 and 96.6% for XQuery Update), many XQuery 1.1 features (including try-catch, windowing and general FLWOR expressions), and XQuery Scripting Extension. This release includes support for data definition and manipulation (collections, indexes, and integrity constraints). It also extends the standard XQuery capabilities with a rich and extensible function library, including xqDoc, REST, JSON, CSV, Excel functions, email, introspection, file manipulation, and mathematical computations. Zorba 1.0 includes lots of bug fixes and performance improvements as well.

Yii is a high-performance, component-based PHP framework for developing large-scale Web applications. Yii comes with a full stack of features needed by Web application development. It is written in a strict OOP style and is easy to learn with its detailed tutorials. Its highly reusable components allows one to rapidly build up a Web application that is efficient as well as robust.

Changes: This is a major service pack to the previous 1.1.0 release. More than 20 bugs were fixed. Numerous new features were included, some of which are expected to further accelerate development speed using Yii. For example, the new CActiveForm widget allows developers to easily build HTML forms that support both client-side and server-side validation by writing validation rules only once. The CGridView widget now supports filtering. The Yii code generator tool will now generate the code implementing searching and filtering features.

Vendetta Online is a multi-platform 3D space-combat MMO for Windows, Mac, Linux/32 and Linux/64. The game permits players to interact in a vast online galaxy; fighting, trading, and mining their way to success. A "twitch" type real-time combat model makes true player skill the deciding factor instead of character advancement. Massive capital-ship battles shake the foundations of the major nations at war, while others struggle to push back the encroachment of the AI "Hives". A no-strings free trial is available.

Changes: Unaligned Station guards now help defend the conquerable station. Convoys really have cargo in them now. The visual mission timer on the HUD was fixed. It now counts down to zero and stays there until the mission ends. If the timer was created outside of a mission, it will go away when it reaches zero. Textured line effects now have a minimum screen size, so they don't glitter as much when they are far away.

Crabgrass is social networking, group collaboration, and network organizing Web application. It consists of a solid suite of group collaboration tools such as private wikis, task lists, a file repository, and decision making tools. Work is currently being done on a large user interface overhaul, better social networking tools, blogs, and event calendars, as well as better support for collaboration and decision making among independent groups.

Changes: This release marks a total visual layout rework, for cleaner and consistent workflow and fixed-width interface. The confusing ME section has been reworked and the dashboard has been killed: its functionality was put into other areas of the site. Multi-page select, search, and actions have been added along with view filters. New interesting pages and social activity feed were added. Private messages have been reworked to clean up the interface, have threading, and filter based on views. Crabgrass now allows browsing by location, which makes it much easier for users and groups to find one another.

FidoCadJ is a very easy-to-use editor, with a library of electrical symbols and footprints (through hole and SMD). Drawings can be exported in several graphic formats (PDF, EPS, PGF for LaTeX, SVG, PNG, JPEG). Although it is very simple and hence limited, it can be still considered an electronic design automation (EDA) program. FidoCadJ is inspired by FidoCad (without "J"), which was a vector graphic editor useful for electrical schematics and printed circuit boards. It uses a file format containing only 7-bit ASCII text, which is very compact and suited for copying and pasting with newsgroups and forum messages. This determined its success among the Italian Usenet community from the late '90s, as it is quite versatile for simple mechanical drawings as well.

Changes: This version is faster. The length of PCB tracks and lines are now shown interactively while they are being entered. The libraries were internationalized, with translations for Italian and English. In selection mode, shift click and drag shows an interactive ruler.

It's intended for small personal Web sites, notebooks, and other simple applications. Installation is very easy: just copy the file and create a directory.

Changes: A Russian translation was added. A bug in the ImageExt plugin was fixed. This bug prevented the plugin from working when not in the document root. PHP4 compatibility was fixed. Other small fixes were made.

Gnumeric is a powerful and easy to use spreadsheet using GNOME. Its goal is to provide a full featured spreadsheet and a smooth migration path for people and organizations currently using proprietary applications. It provides more sheet functions and greatly improved accuracy when compared to Microsoft's Excel. A plugin system lets you extend Gnumeric, adding functions, I/O formats, and real time data capabilities. The existing Python, Guile, and Perl plugins let you define complex functions. Gnumeric is capable of reading and writing MS Excel (XLS and Office Open XML), and reading Lotus, Applix, Quattro Pro, OpenCalc (ODF), XBase, DIF, SYLK, HTML, Psion, MPS, oleo, sc, misc. text formats, and its native XML. It can also generate Latex, HTML, and others.

Changes: Fixes were made for storing of error-literals in ODF, display of autocomplete suggestions, formatting of multirow cells in LaTeX export, a crash in excelplugin, cursor appearance, an ODF read problem, a rendering problem with iterated evaluation, a solver undo problem, a graph label problem, a GLPK solver issue, an ssindex crash, ODF export of intersection, and cell comment critical. Filter combos are not exported to ODF. A filter is applied on ODF import. Exported LaTeX files are protected from babel shorthands. The -Wstrict-prototypes compilation option was turned off for the stable series.

Secure Gateway is a small PHP login gateway. It is written to be simple to use and very secure. It can be plugged into an existing Web site by adding a couple of lines to each page. This was originally written as part of rewriting "Secure Portal".

Changes: The functionality of the gateway was extended so that you can turn the security on and off and even set it page by page. Simply by passing true or false to the verify_login function, you can turn it on or off. This allows you to protect your site but allow public access to specific pages for downloads or other similiar reasons. This functionality will be extended even further in the "secure portal" by allowing security based on access levels.

typhon is a slim and themeable OpenGL-based dashboard and program launcher. It's meant to be easily used on Linux HTPCs. It can be used as an emulator launcher and program launcher. It has optional PNG picture support for both background and preview pictures. There's also an optional autoscreenshotmode, which creates a preview picture of the launched app after a user-configured time. Everything can be configured by the user, including colors, whole color themes, font, font size (any TTF font will do), optional sound effects, optional 3d icons (using glut), and background and preview pictures. Already installed screensavers can also be used as backgrounds using compositing/ transparency. There are also several X11 functions that can be enabled/disabled, like hide/show mouse, enable/disable window decoration, show on all desktops, etc. typhon also works fine with compiz and can be controlled with the mouse and/or keyboard (and therefore also with remotes).

Changes: An emulator launcher and an auto screenshot option were added. sdl-mixer was fixed for SPDIF.

TongueTied is a Web based application that helps with the creation of keywords with support for multi-language or multi-region resources. One of the key features of TongueTied is that it allows static resources to be exported from the application and can import translations from resources into the application. The following formats are currently supported for both export and import: Java Properties, .NET Resources (.resx), CSV, and Excel. TongueTied integrates an optional work flow around a keyword to track changes to a translation and ensure the validity of that translation. Operators are allowed to query a translation if they believe it to be incorrect.

Changes: Incorrect configuration options were fixed.

M.A.M.E. Catalog / Launcher II (also referred to as QMC2) is the successor of one of the first XMAME GUI frontends available, QMamecat (derived from MAMECAT, which was text-only). QMC2 has been rebuilt from scratch as a Qt 4 project. Parts of the design and code were inspired by its predecessor. The new design was made as flexible as possible to minimize dependencies from frontend- and CLI-related MAME changes, which was a major deficiency of QMamecat. QMC2 uses a template-based MAME configuration scheme, which can easily be enhanced with additional command line options (defined in an XML template file).

Changes: Performance improvements were made for ROM state filtering and loading of all cached data. The ROMAlyzer now has built-in support for chdman which can be used to deeply verify, automatically fix, and/or update CHDs. There are new context menus for the main widget???s horizontal and vertical splitters. On X11 only, the embedder now includes a toggle switch to maximize the emulator window.

The Crossplex package of make macros simplifies the creation of embedded systems, and is powerful enough for large organizations to use for developing elaborate product lines. It allows you to organize many different products under a logical structure, making systems of any complexity easy to specify. When you have many different target platforms, each with multiple different software configurations, Crossplex keeps those configurations from stepping on each other, without requiring redundancy in your source tree. Crossplex allows you to use a single dependency tree encompassing both in-house software and third-party packages, and it is particularly suited to build automation. Crossplex makes it easy to shield your build from the host environment, setting all shell variables explicitly, and giving you complete control over the path that is used at any point in the build. This is nice when you want to support building on a variety of development platforms. Crossplex scales to your needs. You can dabble in the unpacking and patching features as you need them, or you can base your entire system from the ground up on the Crossplex framework.

Changes: Only previously applied patches are reversed in patches.mk so that patch-unrolling works even when source patches have changed. Spaces are removed from patch tag lists in patches.mk so that multiple patch tags don't confuse rules.

PDF OCR is a simple drag-and-drop utility that converts PDFs into text documents. It uses advanced OCR (optical character recognition) technology to extract the text of the PDF even if that text is contained in an image. This is particularly useful for dealing with PDFs that were created via a scan-to-PDF function in a scanner or photo copier. It uses the Tesseract engine to perform OCR, and currently supports English, French, German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Basque, and Vietnamese documents.

Changes: The community version will now convert the first page of a multi-page PDF rather than simply informing user to upgrade to Enterprise Edition for multi-page PDFs.

jmxsh is a fully scriptable command-line JMX client based on Tcl. It is simply a Tcl interpreter powered by Java/Tcl (with command-line history and editing provided by JLine) that has special command-line options for connecting to JMX servers and special Tcl commands for interacting with JMX servers. jmxsh is capable of simultaneously connecting to multiple JMX servers. There's also a "browse mode" for exploring the remote JMX namespace without knowing beforehand the names of MBeans or their properties. jmxsh and all its dependencies are distributed in a self-contained executable jar file for ease of use.

Changes: A jmx_list command was added for performing a regex search for attributes (though it is not well tested). The -T option was fixed.

Surealived is a effective LVS (Linux Virtual Server) service tester. It is based on epoll and allows you to detect your hosts' state using HTTP, TCP, DNS, exec, and a universal LUA embedded tester. SSL is also supported. Testers are dynamic modules, and you can extend and write your own modules. You can also dynamicaly change the weight or set real states at run-time. Test states are injected into the kernel IPVS table using the ipvssync application. Configuration is highly extensible, so many testing protocols can be implemented easily.

Changes: This release fixes a bug where a SSL session sometimes couldn't be established again, leading to servers being treated as offline. A complete SSL reconnect is now performed. A minor bug with the current max filedescriptors not being logged was also corrected.

Piccolo2D is a toolkit that supports the development of 2D structured graphics programs, in general, and Zoomable User Interfaces (ZUIs), in particular. A ZUI is a new kind of interface that presents a huge canvas of information on a traditional computer display by letting the user smoothly zoom in to get more detailed information and zoom out for an overview. It uses a "scene-graph" model that is common to 3D environments. This means that Piccolo maintains a hierarchical structure of objects and cameras.

Changes: Apache Maven is now used instead of Apache Ant. SWT support and SWT examples were refactored from extras into their own modules. Many Checkstyle, PMD, and FindBugs errors and warnings have been fixed. Unit test line coverage has been increased to 48%.

AZR3-JACK is a port of the free VST plugin AZR-3. It is a tonewheel organ with drawbars, distortion and rotating speakers. The original was written by Rumpelrausch T??ips. The organ has three sections, two polyphonic with 9 drawbars each and one monophonic bass section with 5 drawbars. The two polyphonic sections respond to events on MIDI channel 1 and 2, and an optional keyboard split function makes the bass section listen to the lower keys on channel 1. The three sections have separate sustain and percussion switches as well as separate volume controls, and the two polyphonic sections have separate vibrato settings. All three sections are mixed and sent through the distortion effect and the rotating speakers simulator, where the modulation wheel can be used to switch between fast and slow rotation, and the fast and slow rotation speeds themselves can be changed separately for the lower and upper frequencies.

Changes: This release fixes a crashing bug.

echinus is a lightweight window manager for X based on dwm's source code. It manages windows in tiled, maximized, and floating layouts. It is extremely small, rather fast, and supports Xft. It features nice titlebars, multiple desktops, theming support, a simple configuration file, the ability to switch desktops with the mouse wheel, X bitmaps for title buttons, and true transparency support (through xcompmgr). There is no need to recompile or restart X to change its configuration.

Changes: This is mostly a cleanup/bugfix release. Old xprop/xwininfo bugs were fixed (when they reported incorrect window properties). There's one new "feature": floating windows now raise on click without modkey. There are other things not seen from the user's point of view (but important).

Unifdef is useful for removing #ifdef'ed lines from a file while otherwise leaving the file alone. You specify which symbols are defined or undefined with -D and -U flags, and unifdef removes the corresponding ifdefs, and the enclosed code if appropriate. It's especially useful for removing those "#ifdef BROKEN" and "#ifdef PRIVATE" clauses from code before you release it. Unifdef acts on #if, #ifdef, #ifndef, #elif, #else, and #en??dif lines, and it knows only enough about C and C++ to know when one of these is inactive because it is inside a comment or a single or double quote.

Changes: Development has been moved from CVS to git, and the build system redone. The increased version number reflects the change in the release process.

FECpp is a C++ library implementing a fast forward error correction code, sometimes also called an erasure code. These codes are used to split input data into a set of n shares, with the property that if any subset of at least k shares survives, the original data can be recovered by the decoder. The number of share losses the code will tolerate can be parameterized during encoding, allowing the code to be adapted to to a variety of loss scenarios. FECpp is bit-for-bit compatible with several other FEC libraries.

Changes: A Python wrapper (using Boost.Python) is now included, as are several example and test programs written in Python. A bug that caused some decoded shares to be emitted more than once has been fixed.

aria2 is a utility for downloading files. The supported protocols are HTTP(S), FTP, BitTorrent, and Metalink. It has a powerful segmented downloading ability, downloading a file from multiple sources and multiple protocols and utilizing your download bandwidth to the maximum. It supports downloading a file from HTTP(S)/FTP and BitTorrent at the same time, while the data downloaded from HTTP(S)/FTP is uploaded to the BitTorrent swarm. Using Metalink's chunk checksums, aria2 automatically validates chunks of data while downloading a file like BitTorrent.

Changes: This release adds Metalink4 support and BitTorrent Local Peer Discovery. An aria2.changeUri XML-RPC method was added. It enables you to add/remove URIs to existing downloads dynamically. The user and password for the proxy server now can be specified on the command line separately. The code has been refactored based on profiler results, so aria2 now runs more efficiently than ever. Russian and Simplified Chinese translations were updated.

Ripcord is an attempt to create an RPC client and server around PHP's xmlrpc library that is as easy to use as possible. You can create XML-RPC, (simplified) SOAP 1.1, and simple RPC clients with one call and then call RPC methods as if they were local methods of the client. You can create a server with one call, passing it any number of objects whose methods it will publish and automatically document.

Changes: This release adds a workaround for a segmentation fault in xmlrpc_decode_request. It refactors the exceptions to use PHP's SPL Exceptions as a base and Ripcord_Exception as an interface.

StoneVPN is a system that makes it easy to create certificates and configuration files for use with an OpenVPN server for both Windows and Linux users. It has the ability to create a zip file and e-mail the entire package to a user. It uses pyOpenSSL and custom patches that allow it to manage a CRL file.

Changes: Certificates are no longer generated with an incorrect serial number (hex was written as decimal). A bug when listing all revoked certificates has been fixed. This release will check for the existence of crlfile before trying to parse it. There is a new option to generate an empty CRL file. All options have been grouped to make --help output look better.

jSmaTeP assists in the use of Java for processing import and export data by configuring a data structure rather than by programming it. The structure of the import data is specified in an XML file. jSmaTeP then generates a value object representing exactly one row or record in the import file based on a given XML data configuration. This means that if the import or export format changes, only the XML data configuration needs to be changed to match it.

Changes: Decoupled from using configuration from Apache XML Beans. Switched from jUnit3.x to jUnit4. A "default" configuration tag for fields has been added. The xsd directory has been moved under the resources directory.

Gnetworktester is an application that helps users in testing the quality of a network connection and in sending complaints on that to the network provider. A procedure of testing takes three steps: choosing the network nodes; automatic pinging of those nodes to collect statistics on packet losses, delays, and overall quality; and automatic report writing.

Changes: Bugfix release.

acgtools is a driver for the ACG HF MultiISO RFID reader written entirely in Python and including several developer tools, including EEPROM backup/edit/restoration for enabling some of the more exotic features supported by this hardware. There are also sample applications, notably an e-Passport reader.

Changes: This release removes the dependency on hal/dbus for device detection (when hal is not available, acgtools falls back to using a configuration file), updates the e-passport example application to decode facial image data and save that to a file, and includes support for retrieving a REQA answer on tag selection if this option is set in the EEPROM.

PAC provides a GUI to configure SSH and Telnet connections, including usernames, passwords, EXPECT regular expressions, and macros. It is similar in function to SecureCRT or Putty. It is intended for people who connect to many servers through SSH. It can automate logins and command executions.

Changes: This release can detach tabbed terminals into windows and vice-versa, revamps the "find in terminal" GUI, adds lots of rewritten code, recursively auto-accepts consecutive unknown ssh_hosts connections, adds a new set of user variables (next to the "OPTIONS" frame), has a new filesystem architecture (everything now goes into "/opt/pac"), lets users tweak the tab/window title by putting <TAB_TITLE:your new title:TAB_TITLE> anywhere in "Description", adds an autonomous ".tar.gz" package, removes "Undo" due to terrible bugs, adds many little GUI improvements, and makes minor bugfixes.

CarvFS is a user space FUSE filesystem aimed at computer forensic tools that process disk and/or memory dump images or other large data files. The filesystem allows CarvPath-aware tools to use CarvPath annotations as a way to designate partitions, files, alternate streams, processes etc. within a disk or memory image as a string, making them available trough the filesystem as a pseudo file that can be handed to other tools. This removes the need to copy the information out of the disk image and reduces storage requirements.

Changes: This release adds a new CarvFS module for mounting raw local block devices intended for triage tools and applications.

rsstool is a tool to read, parse, merge, and write RSS (and Atom) feeds. It has some other functions built-in like text, HTML, or property file output, or templates with custom tags to insert RSS feeds into pages that could be uploaded to a server that supports only static HTML.

Changes: This release adds a new field to the database structure, rsstool_media_duration (if rsstool finds durations for some kind of media in the feed, it will parse them into rsstool_media_duration, in seconds), --enc=ENCODING, which overrides the encoding specified in the RSS header (useful for some broken RSS feeds), --filter=LOGIC, sometimes referred to as implied Boolean LOGIC (use this to remove items from the RSS feed before output), --nosort, to not sort items by date (on by default), --parse=FILE|URL to generate an RSS feed from a random HTML document, some code cleanups and fixes, support for Atom 1.0 feeds (they worked before, but now it says so in the usage, too), and xmlget as a download on the Web site (accesses XML files using the XPath syntax). It deprecates the --joomla and --dragonfly options (replaced with scripts in contrib/) and --sqlold (and support for the other old database structures). It removes the --curl option (it is always the default now, if libcurl is available) and the --wget option (you may want to rely on the curl support or use wget from a script instead).

t-prot (TOFU Protection) is a filter which improves the readability of email messages and Usenet posts by hiding some of their annoying parts. The annoyances it handles include mailing list footers, signatures, TOFU, sequences of blank lines, and repeated punctuation. TOFU is an acronym that stands for "Text oben, Fullquote unten", a German reference to the practice of adding just a few lines of original text and quoting a complete message below them.

Changes: Some small documentation fixes have been applied.

WOSH (Wide Open Smart Home) is a message-oriented middleware for controlling and automating a smart home. It comes with working services and devices. WOSH is an open multi-platform C++ framework. Its architecture is service (bundles) oriented and designed for distributed (cloud) computing. WOSH ships with library source, many services, and some applications (a server, a trayicon remote controller, and a GUI full-controller). Some features provided by its micro-kernel are a multi-user system with access policies, a centralized database manager and system monitor, and automatic network management and masquerading (on TCP). Some of the implemented services are: multimedia audio playback, monitor and control of X10 devices, remote control using instant messaging, and a remote control using SMS and call notification.

Changes: This is a new milestone. It is more stable for allocations, threading and timeouts, logging, and state machines. Performance was improved by updating variant and using less implicit deep-copy. Scalability was increased with macros and clear interfaces. A lot of code has been redesigned to conform to the DRY paradigm. Standardization was applied to the code, such as containers "using" STL calls. The library architecture now uses static initialization and dynamic allocation. Networking now supports more libraries. Persistence is still work in progress.

autober is a language for generating BER decoders. It's different from an ASN.1 compiler in that it's much simpler and it only deals with BER-encoded messages. It is intended for smart card and RFID applications where much of the data stored on these devices is, in-fact, BER-encoded TLV data. The language is designed to be very similar to the template definitions found in the specifications for smart card and RFID applications.

Changes: This release generates a functioning C module for e.g. an e-passport EF.DG2 BER object (biometric information). It should work fine for other applications of similar complexity.
