<title>upnpavd version 0.0.1 is out!</title>
<link>http://alperakcan.org/projects/upnpavd</link>
<description>
&lt;p&gt;
version 0.0.1 includes a working mediaserver, and a console client as
controller device. you can use mediaserver for to share your media
content to the local network, which is the main purpose of v0.0.1
release, but the controller client will not mean much for daily
users.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
if you want to use/test the controller client, you will need the
&lt;a href="http://pupnp.sourceforge.net/"&gt;libpupnp package&lt;/a&gt;.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
on the other hand, upnpavd project is now being rewritten from scratch
with slight changes in the api design, and removing the dependencies for
external libraries. you may want to keep updated with
&lt;a href="http://upnpavd.svn.sf.net/viewvc/upnpavd/trunk.tar.gz?view=tar"&gt;svn trunk&lt;/a&gt;.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
enjoy...

<title>LibGuiOO Widget Library for Xynth merged!</title>
<link>http://alperakcan.org/projects/xynth</link>
<description>
&lt;p&gt;
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 &lt;a href="http://artecgroup.com"&gt;http://artecgroup.com&lt;/a&gt;.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Original mail continues as follows;
&lt;p&gt;
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.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
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.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Regards,
Andrei
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
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.
&lt;p&gt;

<title>Fuse-Ext2 version 0.0.2 is out!</title>
<link>http://alperakcan.org/projects/fuse-ext2</link>
<description>
&lt;p&gt;
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.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
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.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Thanks to Erik Larsson -&lt;a href="http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://macntfs-3g.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;-
for mac os x file system bundle help.
