News and Editorials
PostgreSQL 7.2 released
The final version of [12]PostgreSQL 7.2 [13]has been released. There
are many "enterprise friendly" changes from 7.1.X, some of them
include
* An improved vacuuming operation that does not lock tables.
* New support for transactions exceeding four billion counts.
* Optional OIDs.
* Histogram stats are performed during ANALYZE for better
optimizations.
* Support for MD5 encryption when dealing with passwords.
* A new table access statistics module for improved index usage
statistics.
* New support for international languages.
The [14]Release Notes contain a detailed description of the changes.
[15][postgresql.jpg] Those wishing to migrate to version 7.2 will need
to perform a dump/restore operation.
The full [16]PostgreSQL 7.2 Documentation is available online, in
addition, the [17]Developers-FAQ contains a lot of useful information.
Looking forward to version 7.3 and beyond, the [18]TODO List has a
long set of desired additions. The most urgently desired features
include replication of distributed databases and point-in-time data
recovery.
Audio Projects
Ogg Vorbis RC3 available. Release Candidate number three [19]has been
announced for the Ogg Vorbis open-source audio compression suite.
"This release features bitrate management, meaning that instead of
choosing one of several VBR modes, you can specify average bitrate,
put boundaries on the bitrates to emulate CBR (useful for streaming),
or the default VBR modes which have millions of possible quality
levels."
RX/Saturno DX7 Synthesizer Emulator (linuxmusic). This week,
linuxmusic features [20]RX/Saturno, a new (version 0.0.1) emulator of
the classic Yamaha DX7 6 operator FM Synthesizer.
Education
SEUL/edu Linux in education report #63. The latest SEUL/edu [21]Linux
in education report looks at work towards an open-source
implementation of the Schools Interoperability Framework (SIF) Zone
Information Server (ZIS). "To recap, the SIF is an XML schema proposed
by a consortium of software vendors to allow compliant programs to
exchange data. The ZIS is a 'gatekeeper' program that registers the
application programs as to what type of data they provide (each 'type'
can be registered to only one app at a time)."
Electronics
Icarus Verilog 0.6 released. Version 0.6 of the Icarus Verilog
electronic simulation language compiler [22]has been released. This
version features lots of bug fixes, better standards compliance, and
more. See the [23]release notes for all of the details.
Embedded Systems
Embedded Linux Newsletter. The [24]LinuxDevices.com Embedded Linux
Newsletter for January 31 is out. The bulk of the news this week is
from LinuxWorld.
Using GTK+/X as an Embedded GUI (ELJonline). Chuck Groom [25]explains
how to modify GTK+/X to build a custom GUI. "One of the reasons why
WinCE and Palm-sized PC devices did not initially do as well is that a
general-purpose GUI design borrowed from desktop paradigms is not
appropriate for embedded devices."
Peer to Peer
Smart & simple messaging (IBM developerWorks). Wes Biggs [26]discusses
SMS (Short Messaging System), a wireless message protocol. "Developing
wireless applications in the present environment can be frustrating.
Because device-independent code is still the exception rather than the
rule, today's successful projects tend to focus on narrowly defined
target audiences, where each user can be guaranteed to have the same,
or at least highly similar, wireless equipment. Despite recent trends
toward technology consolidation, there is no standard, or even de
facto standard, for deploying a wireless app."
Printing Software
AFPL Ghostscript 7.04 Released. A new version of AFPL Ghostscript
[27]has been released. Version 7.04 is a security and maintenance
release.
CUPS v1.1.13 is released. A new version of the CUPS printing system
[28]is available. "CUPS 1.1.13 adds support for the KOI8-R and KOI8-U
encodings, message catalogs for several Russian locales and for
Simplified Chinese, improvements for MacOS X (Darwin) and IRIX,
improvements to the PDF, PostScript, and text filters, status
reporting for IPP-based printers (paper out, etc.), and improvements
to the SAMBA driver export facility. The new release also fixes bugs
in the scheduler, the lpstat command, the CUPS API, and the pstoraster
filter."
Science
SQL Clinic Reaches 1.0 (LinuxMedNews). LinuxMedNews [29]reports on SQL
Clinic 1.0, an SQL interface for dealing with clinical data via a web
interface.
Standards
The Free Standards Group Releases Two Linux Standards Platforms. Here
is the [30]official announcement from the Free Standards Group on the
release of LSB 1.1 and Li18nux 1.0.
Joint POSIX/Single Unix Specification. The Open Group [31]has
announced version 3 of its [32]Single UNIX Specification document.
(Thanks to Andrew Josey.)
System Administration
Intro to cfengine for system administration (IBM developerWorks).
Teodor Zlatanov [33]illustrates the use of cfengine for automating
systems administration tasks. "Cfengine (configuration engine) is a
UNIX administration tool that aims to make the easy administrative
tasks automatic, and the hard tasks easier. Its goal is system
convergence from any state towards an ideal state."
Web-site Development
ht://Dig 3.1.6 released. A new version of the ht://Dig web site search
engine [34]has been released. "This new production version fixes a
number of important bugs and adds a few heavily-requested features. As
the latest stable release, it is recommended for all production
servers." See the [35]Release notes for all of the details.
Call Profiler - profile your Zope website. Version 1.2 of Call
Profiler, a Zope site optimizer tool, [36]has been released. Call
Profiler features a BSD style license.

Impressions on the Paris Linux Expo. Philippe Fremy [62]writes about a
real-time code writing experience from the Paris Linux Expo. "Then I
saw this magic thing: A live coding session by a truly talented KDE
core developer: David took his laptop and started coding under my
eyes. In five minutes, it was done: the 'URL' label on Konqueror would
accept a pasted URL and simply open it. Really great!"

sharing network, openin, OCamlAgrep, and IoXML.
Java
Building dynamic Web sites with mathematical content (IBM
developerWorks). Michael Juntao Yuan [89]writes about using LaTeX and
Java to add mathematical figures to dynamic web pages. "The Internet
and the Web were originally designed by scientists to exchange
scientific and mathematical research information. Ironically, after
more than 30 years of Internet and 10 years of Web development, there
is still no easy way to publish mathematics-intensive content on the
Web."
Using XDoclet: Developing EJBs with Just the Bean Class (O'Reilly).
Dion Almaer [90]introduces XDoclet on O'Reilly's xml.com. "Have you
developed an EJB? Have you been frustrated at having to create and
manipulate the XML deployment descriptors, as well as the interfaces?
I certainly have. I was recently working on an EJB for the Xbeans open
source project and I decided to use another open source tool --
XDoclet -- to generate the XML descriptors and interfaces for me."
Lisp
CL-PDF 0.3 brings Adobe Acrobat to Lisp. A common lisp library known
as CL-PDF version 0.3 [91]has been released. "This is an early version
of a Common Lisp library for generating documents in Adobe Acrobat
format. This small but powerful library is self-contained and does not
require Adobe tools such as Acrobat Distiller."

[93]an announcement for the first issue of [94]The Perl Review. The
first issue covers extreme programming, structured classes,
benchmarking, and more.
Beginning PMCs (Perl.com). Jeffrey Goff [95]discusses extensions to
the Perl 5 Parrot interpreter. "One of the best things about Parrot is
that it's not just for Perl implementors. Parrot 0.0.3 came with
support for extensible data types that can be used to implement the
types used in your favorite language. The mechanism by which these
types are extensible is called the PMC."
PHP
PHP Weekly Summary for February 4, 2002. The latest [96]PHP Weekly
Summary topics include manual translations, a safe_mode_include_dir
patch, Satellite in PECL, FreeBSD and CVS, a PHP 5 build system, the

alpha release; Zope 2.5.0; Python and Zope participants needed at The
O'Reilly Open Source Convention; and more in this week's
[97]Python-URL.
This week on the Daily Python URL. This week's entries on [98]the
Daily Python URL look at converting TrueType fonts to XML, doing
Church's lambda calculus, using the SimpleParse module, processing
meteorological radar data, and more. A python 3D museum display is

Tcl/Tk
Dr. Dobb's Tcl-URL! for Feb 4. This week's [102]Tcl-URL looks at
driving Excel from Tcl; SMTP authentication; explanations of names
paces; and more.
XML
Using tDOM and tDOM XSLT (IBM developerWorks). Cameron Laird
[103]writes about tDOM and tDOM XSLT on IBM's developerWorks. "Simple
benchmarks show that tDOM is one of the best-performing XML processors
currently available. Access through the Tcl 'scripting' language makes
for a particularly potent development environment -- fast in both
development and execution. A 'dual level' (or two-language) model of
development combines the advantages of Tcl and XSLT for different
aspects of XML manipulation."
Miscellaneous
Introduction to Make (O'Reilly). Jennifer Vesperman [104]introduces
Make on O'Reilly's Linux DevCenter. "Make is useful for system
administrators as well as developers. This article primarily discusses
Make as a compilation tool, but it can be effective for program
installation or system configuration changes."
oprofile-0.0.9 available. Version 0.0.9 of the oprofile profiler
[105]has been released. The [106]release notes show that support for
Linux 2.x kernels has been added, and an RTC mode is now available.
