Also new contributors joined, full list can be found in AUTHORS file. Another major update is, guioo widget library contributed by Artec Group. </p> <p> On the other hand, this release is a pre release for upcoming changes. There will be changes in core system, and graphics design for better handling overlay support, and for to improve porting capabilities. </p> <p> Cheers... </p> http://alperakcan.org/projects/fuse-ext2 <p> fuse-ext2 is a ext2 filesystem support for fuse. it's main purpose is to mount the linux drives on mac osx using mac-fuse. </p> <p> this is a bug fix release for loosing mount while browsing directories bug. </p> <p> Cheers! </p> http://alperakcan.org <p> i know, i am a bit lazy for releasing new versions for <a href="http://alperakcan.org/projects/xynth">xynth</a>, <a href="http://alperakcan.org/projects/fuse-ext2">fuse-ext2</a>, and <a href="http://alperakcan.org/projects/upnpavd">upnpavd</a> software projects. i recommend you to install and compile from current svn sources, for this purpose i've added the svn snapshot links for these projects to their download sections. </p> <p> <a href="http://xynth.svn.sf.net/viewvc/xynth/trunk.tar.gz?view=tar">http://xynth.svn.sf.net/viewvc/xynth/trunk.tar.gz?view=tar</a><br> <a href="http://upnpavd.svn.sf.net/viewvc/upnpavd/trunk.tar.gz?view=tar">http://upnpavd.svn.sf.net/viewvc/upnpavd/trunk.tar.gz?view=tar</a><br> <a href="http://fuse-ext2.svn.sf.net/viewvc/fuse-ext2/trunk.tar.gz?view=tar">http://fuse-ext2.svn.sf.net/viewvc/fuse-ext2/trunk.tar.gz?view=tar</a> </p> <p> thanks to sf, for their svn services. </p> http://alperakcan.org/projects/upnpavd <p> i've registered a new project for <a href="http://alperakcan.org/projects/upnpavd">upnpavd</a>, at sourceforge. from now you can reach the project details from <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/upnpavd">http://sourceforge.net/projects/upnpavd</a>, also. thanks to sourceforge for their generous services. </p> <p> viva sf! </p> http://alperakcan.org/projects/xynth <p> I've recieved an email from Andrei Birjukov on 18 Dec 2008, saying that they have been successfully using Xynth Windowing System for a long time on several ARM handlhelds at Artec Group <a href="http://artecgroup.com">http://artecgroup.com</a>. </p> <p> Original mail continues as follows; <p> We have extended the client library with a number of C++ classes to implement basic GUI elements: images, buttons, text, checkboxes, etc. The idea was to create a "skinnable" user interface that would run on a restricted Linux system (ca. 16mb ram, 16mb flash) while still enabling for some eye-candy. The whole UI is defined in a separate XML resource file. </p> <p> We have also optimized the server a bit, but that may be limited to ARM only. I will package our Xynth branch and send to you shortly if you are interested. </p> <p> Regards, Andrei </p> </p> <p> I've successfully merged (svn rev.1057) their generous contributions into the main line. You can checkout the latest revision and test both libguioo, and guioo demo application. <p> # svn co https://xynth.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xynth/trunk xynth<br> # make linux<br> # make all<br> # make install<br> # ldconfig<br> # xynth<br> # guioo<br> </p> </p> <p> Contributors list; <p> Andrei Birjukov<br> Anti Sullin<br> Jaanus Sepp<br> </p> </p> <p> Thanks again to Andrei, and Artec Group. </p> http://alperakcan.org/projects/fuse-ext2 <p> fuse-ext2 is a ext2 filesystem support for fuse. it's main purpose is to mount the linux drives on mac osx using mac-fuse. </p> <p> with this release you will be able to automount your harddrives and usb sticks. devices will be mounted read-only by default. write support is in development stage, and is not stable enough for daily users. </p> <p> Thanks to Erik Larsson -<a href="http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/">http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/</a>- for mac os x file system bundle help. </p> <p> Cheers! </p> http://alperakcan.org/projects/xynth <p> at last, i've started to port qt4 on xynth windowing system. although there is so much to do, i think first stable release of qt4 port will be in 1-2 months depending on my spare time. </p> <p> please feel free to watch svn, and review the porting steps. </p> http://alperakcan.org/projects/upnpavd <p> upnpavd is a multi application project which includes a upnp av mediaserver, upnp av mediarenderer and a upnp controller device. </p> <p> it is in very early stage. feel free to look at it, and comment. </p> http://alperakcan.org/projects/fuse-ext2 <p> fuse-ext2 is a ext2 filesystem support for fuse. it's main purpose is to mount the linux drives on mac osx using mac-fuse. </p> <p> Thanks to SourceForge for hosting this project '<a href="http://sf.net/projects/fuse-ext2">http://sf.net/projects/fuse-ext2</a>'. </p> <p> I hope it will be usefull for mac osx users. </p> http://alperakcan.org/ <p> At last, I have launched http://alperakcan.org.

For detailed ChangeLog you may want to look ChangeLog file in release. And also, this is a pre-release for 0.9.00 which will hopefully include new build system, new ports 'especially gtk+-2.10.x', improved widget set, much more documentation. <p> You may find all the latest files for this release at;<br> <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/xynth">http://sourceforge.net/projects/xynth</a><br> <a href="http://alperakcan.org/projects/xynth">http://alperakcan.org/projects/xynth</a> </p> <p> Enjoy! </p> http://alperakcan.org/documents/slackware%20linux%20on%20macbook Installing Slackware Linux 12.0 on Apple MacBook HOWTO. http://alperakcan.org/ the most important drawback of scp is, it can not resume a stopped transfer. here is the solution;<br> <br> for starting the transfer;<br> # scp source destination<br> <br> for resuming the transfer;<br> # rsync --partial --progress --rsh=ssh source destination<br> <br> OR;<br> <br> # alias scpr=rsync --partial --progress --rsh=ssh<br> # scpr source destionation<br> <br> have fun... http://alperakcan.org/documents/pptp%20vpn%20client%20on%20linux I added a new document about <a href="http://alperakcan.org/documents/pptp vpn client on linux">setting pptp vpn connection on linux</a>. this is not a big deal, but i know most of linux users can not connect their box to a remote pptp vpn server. and, i was one of them, too ;)<br> <br> I hope, you will find the document usefull.<br> Enjoy... http://alperakcan.org/projects/xynth/ Suddenly <a href="http://sourceforge.net">Sourceforge</a> has changed svn repository address. You should be able to checkout latest xynth sources with;<br> <br> $ svn co https://xynth.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xynth/trunk xynth<br> <br> New stable release date is somehow being late - main reason is lack of spare time -, and seems that it will be later than I expected. While waiting for the new release, feel free to use latest svn version. It should be stable enough.<br> <br> I am working on light weight widget library, core enhancements - especially build system -, and porting issues. Widget library is designed to be so small that you do not want to use ;), unless you are working on a real embedded device. For those waiting for a full featured widget library the gtk+-2.10.x port is on development after a very long delay, I hope next release will have the <a href="http://www.gtk.org">gtk</a> port.<br> <br> Cheers!
