Halyard 0.5.32
Free and open source scriptable multimedia engine more>> Free and open source scriptable multimedia engine
Halyard is a free and open source scriptable multimedia engine. Halyard currently runs on Windows, but it should be portable to other platforms (at the moment Halyard has a highly-experimental port to Mac OS X).
Halyard is based on PLT Scheme, wxWidgets and the Quake 2 Engine. It includes a rudimentary IDE based on Scintilla.
At the moment, Halyard is almost entirely undocumented, and the toolset is in heavy flux as we prepare for our next project. Be warned! There are lots of known bugs.
NOTE: For detailed building instructions on the Mac platform go HERE.
Enhancements
- In this release, we replace Halyards offscreen drawing routines with Cairo. Cairo is a fast, portable 2D graphics library, used by Firefox, Gnome and many other open source projects.
- Bug fix: Diagonal lines now work on transparent overlays
- Bug fix: Opaque images now on transparent overlays
- New: draw-oval and draw-oval-outline
- New: %graphic% now takes :scale, :scale-x and :scale-y parameters
- New: draw-graphic and measure-graphic now take :scale-x and :scale-y parameters

ImageMagick 9.6.0
Free software suite for the creation, modification and display of bitmap images. more>> Free software suite for the creation, modification and display of bitmap images.
ImageMagick can read, convert and write images in a large variety of formats. Images can be cropped, colors can be changed, various effects can be applied, images can be rotated and combined, and text, lines, polygons, ellipses and Bezier curves can be added to images and stretched and rotated.
ImageMagick is a nice tool suite for the creation, modification and display of bitmap images.
ImageMagick is free software: it is delivered with full source code and can be freely used, copied, modified and distributed. Its license is compatible with the GPL. It runs on all major operating systems.
Most of the functionality of ImageMagick can be used interactively from the command line; more often, however, the features are used from programs written in the programming languages Perl, C, C++, Python, PHP, Ruby, Tcl/Tk or Java, for which ready-made ImageMagick interfaces (PerlMagick, Magick++, PythonMagick, MagickWand for PHP, RMagick, TclMagick, and JMagick) are available.
This makes it possible to modify or create images automatically and dynamically.
ImageMagick supports many image formats (over 90 major formats) including popular formats like TIFF, JPEG, PNG, PDF, PhotoCD, and GIF.
Main features:
- Format conversion: convert an image from one format to another (e.g. PNG to JPEG).
- Transform: resize, rotate, crop, flip or trim an image.
- Transparency: render portions of an image invisible.
- Draw: add shapes or text to an image.
- Decorate: add a border or frame to an image.
- Special effects: blur, sharpen, threshold, or tint an image.
- Animation: create a GIF animation sequence from a group of images.
- Text & comments: insert descriptive or artistic text in an image.
- Image identification: describe the format and properties of an image.
- Composite: overlap one image over another.
- Montage: juxtapose image thumbnails on an image canvas.
- Motion picture support: read and write the common image formats used in digital film work.
- Image calculator: apply a mathematical expression to an image or image channels.
- High dynamic-range images: accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from the brightest direct sunlight to the deepest darkest shadows.
- Large image support: read, process, or write mega- and giga-pixel image sizes.
- Encipher or decipher an image: convert ordinary images into unintelligible gibberish and back again.
- Threads of execution support: ImageMagick is thread safe and many internal algorithms are already threaded to take advantage of speed-ups offered by the dual and quad-core processor technologies.
Enhancements
- Fixed a small memory leak (8 bytes) in TransformImages().
- Render to Cairo surface rather than a GDK buffer when rendering SVG.
- Identify now reports both actual and reported image depths
ToDoS 0.5
ToDoS is a simple system for keeping track of todo items using the StarBrowser more>>
ToDoS is a simple system for keeping track of todo items using the StarBrowser.
After installing you should use MagicKeys to bind a shortcut key to the action #mgDefineNewTodo:, you can then press the shortcut key in all text editors in VisualWorks to quickly add a todo item you just thought of. (MagicKeys is automatically loaded when you load ToDoS.)
GlyphWiki Drawfont Tool 0.1.1
Program comprised of a canvas capable of drawing East-Asian character glyphs more>> Program comprised of a canvas capable of drawing East-Asian character glyphs
GlyphWiki Drawfont Tool is written in Python, using GTK+ and Cairo, comprised of a canvas capable of drawing East-Asian character glyphs registered at the GlyphWiki project and so-called drawfonts which draw them in a specific style.
System requirements:
- intltool 3.6
Enhancements
- Released version 0.1.1.
src/glyphwiki/database.py:
- Added support for glyph versions, as defined in the GlyphWiki dump.
- (e.g. u4ee5 points to the latest version, but u4ee5@1 may be used
- to reference version 1 of that character.
- Switched from "dump.txt" to "dump2.txt", which contains all versions of
- characters defined at GlyphWiki. This is necessary because some characters
- reference specific versions of other glyphs.
Shoebot 0.1
An open source pure Python graphics robot more>> An open source pure Python graphics robot
Shoebot is a pure Python graphics robot. It takes a Python script as input, which describes a drawing process, and outputs a graphic in a common open standard format (SVG, PDF, PostScript, or PNG).
Shoebot has a simple text editor GUI, and scripts can describe their own GUIs for controlling variables interactively. Being pure Python, it can also be used as a Python module, a plugin for Python-scriptable tools such as Inkscape, and run from the command line.
Comparing to graphics coding alternatives like Drawbot, Nodebox and Processing, Shoebot is light and flexible because it does not depend on an interface engine for rendering, although it has one too.
Shoebot has a simple command-line interface which makes it potentially suitable for computationally intensive uses such as webserver image generation. It also has the ability to be called from external Python scripts without effort.
Shoebot does interactive rendering with the Cairo graphics engine, coupled with a simple, experimental, GTK user interface.
A GNU/Linux system is recommended, but Shoebot is cross-platform so you can take small steps to a fully free software system. Shoebot has been successfully tested on an Intel Mac running Mac OS X Leopard, Debian Etch, Fedora 9, and Ubuntu Hardy.

SeaMonkey 2.0 Alpha 1 / 1.1.12
Web-browser, email and newsgroup client, IRC client, HTML editor more>> Web-browser, email and newsgroup client, IRC client, HTML editor
SeaMonkey is a web-browser, advanced e-mail and newsgroup client, IRC chat client, and HTML editor. All inside one application.
The SeaMonkey project is a community effort to deliver production-quality releases of code derived from the application formerly known as "Mozilla Application Suite".
Whereas the main focus of the Mozilla Foundation is on Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird, our group of dedicated volunteers works to ensure that you can have "everything but the kitchen sink", and have it stable enough for corporate use.
System requirements:
- PowerPC processor (266 MHz or faster recommended)
- 64 MB RAM
- 100 MB of free hard disk space (significantly less space is required if you reduce the cache size)
Enhancements:
- SeaMonkey switched to Toolkit, the same backend Firefox uses internally. Due to this change SeaMonkey is now much closer to Firefox as far as user profiles, add-ons and functionality of user interface elements are concerned.
- The default location of user profiles has changed. Legacy profiles, e.g. from SeaMonkey 1.x, are migrated automatically, excluding third-party add-ons (extensions and themes). The old profile will not be touched (instead, copies are made).
- The new Add-on Manager allows to install, update, disable and remove extensions (add-ons), themes and plugins using the same mechanisms Firefox uses. This should ease extension management and development considerably.
- Gecko, the rendering engine used in SeaMonkey, has seen many improvements since the version used in the last stable release. Changes range from a better graphics backend (Cairo/Thebes) to improved support for fonts, CSS, DOM and JavaScript. SeaMonkey 2.0 Alpha 1 passes the Acid2 test and most of Acid3.
- Most of the icons in the default theme have been exchanged for newer images that fit better with the look of modern desktop environments.
- Support for Windows 95, 98, Me and NT 4 was dropped. GTK 2.10 is now required on Linux/UNIX. Support for Mac OS X 10.3 ("Panther") was also dropped.
Celestia 1.4.1
Celestia is a free real-time space simulation that lets you experience our universe in three dimensions more>>

All travel in Celestia is seamless; the exponential zoom feature lets you explore space across a huge range of scales, from galaxy clusters down to spacecraft only a few meters across.
A point-and-goto interface makes it simple to navigate through the universe to the object you want to visit.
Enhancements:
- Windows: Added time zone selection to set time dialog
- Windows: Fixed hard to read text in set time dialog (bug was only present for certain Windows shell appearance settings.)
- Changed maximum number of eclipse shadows in OpenGL 2.0 path from two to three; if max is exceeded, clamp to three rather than not rendering the shadows at all.
