About: The Advanced Bash Scripting Guide is both a reference and a
tutorial on shell scripting. This comprehensive book (the equivalent of
about 646 print pages) covers almost every aspect of shell scripting. It
contains over 300 profusely commented illustrative examples, and a number
of tables. Not just a shell scripting tutorial, this book also provides an
introduction to basic programming techniques, such as sorting and
recursion. It is well suited for either individual study or classroom use.
Changes: This release adds an important bugfix update and a fair amount of
new material.

Communications :: Email :: Filters
About: B's Harmaa is Postfix policy server that implements greylisting and
sender policy framework. What differentiates it from other similar programs
is its unique autowhitelist feature. When a request for delivery of a
message is received by Postfix via SMTP, the triplet CLIENT_IP / SENDER /
RECIPIENT is built. If it is the first time that this triplet is seen or
if the triplet was first seen less than one minute ago, then the message
gets rejected with a temporary error. Spammers often will not try again
later, even though it is required per RFC.

spheres and other quartics, cubic patches, heightfields, boxes, torii,
blobbies, algebraic surfaces, constructive solid geometry (CSG), and a
variety of light sources. Support code is provided for doing tiling, bump
mapping, noise based texturing, camera based motion blur, and depth of
field.
Changes: This release fixes some bugs in polygon tiling, a bug which would
sometimes cause incorrect shadows with multiple lightsources, and also adds
some speed and accuracy improvements to the patch rendering. A new shader,
Bumpy, has been added to the examples area.

flexible. The number of core instructions are very limited while it offers
a simple interface so the host application can register its own extension
commands easily.
Changes: Dynamic arrays were implemented in the core and in the pascal
precompiler. The directory tree was restructured. Now everything compiles
with and without gpmi. A script to download external libraries was added.
Minor cleanups were made for memory leaks, bugs, and compiler warnings.

About: kdetv is a KDE application to watch TV on the desktop. Features
include deinterlacing (DScaler algorithms), three view modes, a channel
scanner, the ability to import the channel files of three other TV
programs, teletext and closed caption decoding, and an easy-to-use
graphical user interface. The application supports remote controls using
KDELIRC, a component shipped in KDE 3.2. kdetv requires KDE libraries
version 3.2 or above, a TV tuner card with video4linux or XVideo-input
support, and an ALSA or OSS compatible mixer device.
Changes: A "black screen" issue on some systems after other video
applications have been running was fixed. The correct aspect ratio is set
on displays with non-rectangular pixels. The kv4lsetup utility was renamed
to kdetvv4lsetup to avoid conflicts with the avifile library. A snapshot
function was added to the DCOP and KDELIRC profile. A "Reveal hidden text"
function was added to the Teletext plugin.
