This is embarrissingly the first snapshot in the 1.7 unstable series of cairo, leading to the eventual release of cairo 1.8, currently planned for late September. This snapshot comes four months after the 1.6.4 release. We have done a really bad job on getting development stapshots out this cycle, but hopefully all the API changes for 1.8 are now finished and the remaining weeks will be spent on bug-fixing. There is more than 400 commits worth of changes in this snapshot, and those can use some testing. Read on! Text, text, and more text! - -------------------------- The dominant theme of this release, and 1.8 in general, is improvements around cairo text API. Here is a high-level list of changes with text handling: User fonts - ---------- This is new API allowing the user of cairo API to provide drawings for glyphs in a font. This is most useful in implementing fonts in non-standard formats, like SVG fonts and Flash fonts, but can also be used by games and other applications to draw "funky" fonts. See test/user-font.c and test/user-font-proxy.c for usage examples. This is based on early work by Kristian Høgsberg. Thanks Kristian! show_text_glyphs - ---------------- This new API allows the caller of cairo to mark text glyphs with their original text. The PDF backend implements this new API and latest Pango master uses it. The result is (when bugs are fixed) that complex text can be copied out of pangocairo's PDF output correctly and reliably. There are bugs to fix though. A few poppler bugs, and some more in cairo and pango. To test show_text_glyph, just grab pango master and this cairo snapshot and print text in gedit. Open in acroread or evince, select all, copy, paste in gedit and compare. The Arabic text with diacritic marks is particularly showing bad. Try with pango/pango-view/HELLO.txt if you are brave enough. The Indic text is showing improvements, but is still coming out buggy. LCD subpixel filtering using FreeType - ------------------------------------- FreeType 2.3.5 added support for various LCD subpixel filtering, and fontconfig 2.6.0 added support for configuring LCD filter on a font by font basis. Cairo now relies on FreeType and fontconfig for subpixel filtering. This work is based on David Turner's original patch to cairo, maintained and tested by Sylvain Pasche and others. Thanks all! Toy font face constructor and getter - ------------------------------------ Mostly for API completion, but also useful for higher level (like Pango) to hook into what the user has set using cairo_select_font_face(), making that toy API a bit more useful. FreeType: respecting FC_FT_FACE - ------------------------------- Previously it was impossible to instruct cairo to do emboldening on a font face object created from an FT_Face. Cairo now respects and uses the FC_FT_FACE fontconfig pattern element, so emboldening can be achieved by using cairo_ft_font_face_create_for_pattern() and a carefully crafted pattern using FC_FT_FACE and FC_EMBOLDEN. PS/PDF: More efficient output - ----------------------------- Adrian Johnson has been busy fixing all kinds of bugs in PS and PDF backends, as well making them generate much more compact output by avoiding things like re-emitting the color or linestyle on every drawing operation. Thanks Adrian! Xlib: Dithering - --------------- Cairo now does simple dithering when rendering to legacy X servers. This is mostly visible with 8-bit visuals. Xlib: Avoid rendering glyphs out of surface bounds - -------------------------------------------------- This seemingly harmless change manifested a bug with OpenOffice.org 3 versions where OO.o was passing bogus surface extents to cairo, resulting in no text rendered in OO.o. Please contact your distro's OO.o maintainers if you see this bug and point them to the following URL: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16209 Xlib: Improved performance with Xrender-less X servers - ------------------------------------------------------ Cairo now performs better on remote, Xrender-less X servers by being smarter about using X core protocol facilities instead of falling back to doing all rendering on the client side. Directfb: backend improvements - ------------------------------ The directfb backend, though still unsupported, has seen a good deal of improvements. Thanks Vlad! Bug fixing and optimizations - ---------------------------- Countless bugs have been fixed and optimizations made, many of them thanks to Chris Wilson. Thanks Chris! API additions - ------------- cairo_show_text_glyphs This is a new text rendering API. Being a more advanced version of cairo_show_glyphs(), it is aimed for use by higher-level text toolkits like Pango, and enables better text extraction from output generated by backends like PDF and SVG. The PDF backend already implements it, and the upcoming Pango release will use it. To make that API work, a bunch of other additions were made: cairo_glyph_allocate cairo_glyph_free cairo_text_cluster_t cairo_text_cluster_allocate cairo_text_cluster_free cairo_has_show_text_glyphs cairo_user_font_face_create This is the "user" font face constructor, accompanied by a variety of method signatures, getters, and setters for a callback-based font backend: CAIRO_FONT_TYPE_USER cairo_user_scaled_font_init_func_t cairo_user_scaled_font_render_glyph_func_t cairo_user_scaled_font_text_to_glyphs_func_t cairo_user_scaled_font_unicode_to_glyph_func_t cairo_user_font_face_set_init_func cairo_user_font_face_set_render_glyph_func cairo_user_font_face_set_text_to_glyphs_func cairo_user_font_face_set_unicode_to_glyph_func cairo_user_font_face_get_init_func cairo_user_font_face_get_render_glyph_func cairo_user_font_face_get_text_to_glyphs_func cairo_user_font_face_get_unicode_to_glyph_func cairo_scaled_font_text_to_glyphs We were previously reluctant to provide this function as text-to-glyphs support in cairo was limited to "toy" font functionality, not really interesting for real-world text processing. However, with user-fonts landing, this API is needed to expose full access to how user-fonts convert text to glyphs. This is expected to be used by text toolkits like Pango, as well as "proxy" user-font implementations. cairo_lcd_filter_t cairo_font_options_set_lcd_filter cairo_font_options_get_lcd_filter These add the possibility to choose between various available LCD subpixel filters. The available filter values are modeled after what FreeType provides. cairo_toy_font_face_create cairo_toy_font_face_get_family cairo_toy_font_face_get_slant cairo_toy_font_face_get_weight These provide access to functionality and settings provided by cairo_select_font_face(). cairo_scaled_font_get_scale_matrix cairo_surface_get_fallback_resolution For API completeness. Various new values for cairo_status_t enum Known issues: - - Type3 fonts generated by cairo's PDF backend may show up in poppler/Evince in a different color than expected. This is fixed in poppler master branch. This mostly affects cairo user fonts. The test case test/user-font.c demonstrates this. - - User fonts using other fonts in their rendering are currently embedded in PDF as fallback bitmap glyphs. This will be (hopefully) fixed before 1.8. The test case test/user-font-proxy.c demonstrates this. What is cairo ============= Cairo is a 2D graphics library with support for multiple output devices. Currently supported output targets include the X Window System, quartz, win32, and image buffers, as well as PDF, PostScript, and SVG file output. Experimental backends include OpenGL (through glitz), XCB, BeOS, OS/2, and DirectFB. Cairo is designed to produce consistent output on all output media while taking advantage of display hardware acceleration when available (for example, through the X Render Extension). The cairo API provides operations similar to the drawing operators of PostScript and PDF. Operations in cairo include stroking and filling cubic Bézier splines, transforming and compositing translucent images, and antialiased text rendering. All drawing operations can be transformed by any affine transformation (scale, rotation, shear, etc.). Cairo has been designed to let you draw anything you want in a modern 2D graphical user interface. At the same time, the cairo API has been designed to be as fun and easy to learn as possible. If you're not having fun while programming with cairo, then we have failed somewhere---let us know and we'll try to fix it next time around. Cairo is free software and is available to be redistributed and/or modified under the terms of either the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) version 2.1 or the Mozilla Public License (MPL) version 1.1.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ===================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Moderate: condor security and bug fix update Advisory ID: RHSA-2008:0814-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise MRG for RHEL-5 Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2008-0814.html Issue date: 2008-08-11 CVE Names: CVE-2008-3424 ===================================================================== 1. Summary: Updated condor packages that fix a security issue and several bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise MRG. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: MRG Grid for RHEL 5 Server - i386, x86_64 3. Description: Condor is a specialized workload management system for compute-intensive jobs. It provides a job queuing mechanism, scheduling policy, priority scheme, and resource monitoring and management. A flaw was found in the way Condor interpreted wildcards in authorization lists. Certain authorization lists using wildcards in DENY rules, such as DENY_WRITE or HOSTDENY_WRITE, that conflict with the definitions in ALLOW rules, could permit authenticated remote users to submit computation jobs, even when such access should have been denied. (CVE-2008-3424) Bug fixes: * the /etc/condor/condor_config file started with "What machine is your central manager?". The following line was blank, instead of having the "CONDOR_HOST" option, causing confusion. The "What machine..." text is now removed. * condor_config.local defined "LOCK = /tmp/[lock file]". This is no longer explicitly defined; however, lock files may be in "/tmp/", and could be removed by tmpwatch. A "LOCK_FILE_UPDATE_INTERVAL" option, which defaults to eight hours, has been added. This updates the timestamps on lock files, preventing them from being removed by tools such as tmpwatch. * when a "SCHEDD_NAME" name in condor_config ended with an " ( -at -) ", the system's hostname was appended. For example, if "SCHEDD_NAME = test ( -at -) " was configured, "condor_q -name test ( -at -) " failed with an "Collector has no record of schedd/submitter" error. Now, the hostname is not appended when a name ends with an " ( -at -) ". In High Availability (HA) Schedd deployments, this allows a name to be shared by multiple Schedds. * when too few arguments were passed to "condor_qedit", such as "condor_qedit -constraint TRUE", a segfault occurred. Better argument handling has been added to resolve this. * due to missing common_createddl.sql and pgsql_createddl.sql files, it was not possible to use Quill. Now, these files are included in "/usr/share/condor/sql/". * "condor_submit -dump ad [file-name]" caused a segfault if the [file-name] job contained "universe = grid". * previously, a condor user and group were created if they did not exist, without specifying a specific UID and GID. Now, UID and GID 64 are used. The effect of this change is non-existent if upgrading the condor packages. If an existing condor user and group are manually changed, problems with file ownership will occur. Configuration changes (from the Condor release notes - see link below): * a new CKPT_SERVER_CHECK_PARENT_INTERVAL variable sets the time interval between a checkpoint server checking if its parent is running. If the parent server has died, the checkpoint server is shut down. * a new CKPT_PROBE variable to define an executable for the helper process Condor uses for information about the CheckpointPlatform attribute. * STARTER_UPLOAD_TIMEOUT now defaults to 300 seconds. * new variables (booleans) PREEMPTION_REQUIREMENTS_STABLE and PREEMPTION_RANK_STABLE, configure whether attributes used in PREEMPTION_REQUIREMENTS and PREEMPTION_RANK change during negotiation cycles. * a new GRIDMANAGER_MAX_WS_DESTROYS_PER_RESOURCE variable, with a default value of 5, defines the number of simultaneous WS destroy commands that can be sent to a server for type gt4 grid universe jobs. * now, VALID_SPOOL_FILES automatically includes the "SCHEDD.lock" lock file for condor_schedd HA failover. * the default value for SEC_DEFAULT_SESSION_DURATION has been changed from 8640000 seconds (100 days) to 86400 seconds (one day). Important: these updated packages upgrade Condor to version 7.0.4. For a full list of changes, refer to the Condor release notes: www.cs.wisc.edu/condor/manual/v7.0/8_3Stable_Release.html condor users should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues. 4.

Hello Webmasters and News Posters, NEW CONTENT (CPU & Chipset) - Intel Atom vs. VIA Nano Platform Comparo QUOTE: "While we concentrate on this sector, the focus is now moving towards the lower end of the spectrum. VIA has really cornered this market in the past when it came to ultra compact PCs; EPIA has been VIA’s biggest success and with the evolution of the VIA processors, each generation has gotten just that little bit more capable. Now Intel has seen just how popular this is, we finally have some competition in this sector. Today we will be pitting the Atom platform against the Nano platform. Who has the best performance and energy savings? – Well, we don’t know yet, but by the end of this we will have an informative answer to that. Let’s move on and check out the platforms individually before we get into the testing phase."

Today Mark takes a look at the Sapphire HD 4870 512 MB. SNIP: With the recent release of the new ATI 48XX GPU's we've seen something that we haven't seen for a while: Ati GPU's in a direct head to head competition with the offerings from NVIDIA. Not only in a price for performance standpoint, like usual, but from a performance standpoint. The ATI 4870 GPU has been putting out synthetic benchmark numbers that rival the GTX-260; up and coming 4870x2 offerings are sure to put the GTX-280 by the side of the road from a performance standpoint. We are lucky enough to have a Sapphire HD 4870 on hand to test, and today we're going to see if ATI has indeed managed to pull one out of the hat to level the playing field with the current offerings from NVIDIA. http://www.bjorn3d.com/read.php?cID=1320 A post on your site would be great if you can. Thank you, Scott -----------------------------------------

The Toughpower 1,500W PSU features one of the highest output capacities of any PC power supply on the market today. However this is a 230V edition with limited availability in North America - that didn't stop us from reviewing it and putting all that power to the limits! URL: http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=600 Quote: "Why anyone would actually want (let alone need) a 1,500W power supply is a very good question, but if you are in the market for a very high output PSU, the Toughpower 1,500W deserves consideration. The Toughpower 1,500W PSU exhibited very good voltage regulation along with good efficiency. Active PFC, modular sleeved cables, and a 5-year warranty are all nice-to-have features. On the down side the unit gets quite warm, the fan noise is loud and the AC ripple approaches maximum allowable values at high loads." Thanks for a post!

iPhone Golf App Plum Caddy Available in the iTunes App Store - Published on 08/11/08 Plum Amazing, a company dedicated to iPhone and iPod touch software development, announced their first mobile application Plum Caddy is now available in the iTunes App Store. Plum Caddy was created for every golfer who has an iPhone or iPod touch and wants to have convenient golf mapping, scoring and statistics. Denver, CO - Plum Amazing is pleased to announce their first applications, Plum Caddy for the iPhone and iPod Touch is now available in the iTunes App Store. Plum Caddy is the premiere golf mapping and scoring application for the multi touch platform of the iPhone and iPod touch. Plum Caddy can be used on any golf course in the world to track strokes, putts and other golfing statistics. Plum Caddy provides an attractive and intuitive interface for keeping track of your score, as well as the locations of each shot. The user can use the touch interface to place where their shot went on a map of the hole and track the number of strokes and other statistics. If the user has a 3G iPhone then presently the GPS can be used to display the distance between shots in the very near future it will offer rangefinder abilities. By remembering every shot on every hole on every course ever played, Plum Caddy provides the golfer with instant historical information, such as club used and location of any shot. Statistics are available at any time during or after a round. In August, the online complement of Plum Caddy called Plum Clubhouse, will become available. One part of Plum Clubhouse will be the golf course construction kit which can create real and accurate maps of any course in the world. Once a user creates a map and saves it then that map will become available to all other members of Plum Clubhouse and downloadable to their iPhones. These maps are not templates but accurate GPS capable maps that will allow seeing each hole with the locations of boxes, hazards, fairway boundaries, and range finding from the golfers position to any of these items. Plum Clubhouse will also add other features like more archiving, scoring and social options which will be revealed over time. Plum Caddy is only $10 which is on par with the price of a few golf balls yet it provides scoring, mapping, GPS, histories for the iPod Touch, iPhone and new 3G iPhone. Plum Caddy is essential for any iPhone using golfer. Golf courses, golf equipment manufacturers and golf sponsors are welcome to contact Plum Amazing for details on partnership.

Pubblog.com announces the release of MailSteward 8.0.5 - Published on 08/11/08 MailSteward is the ultimate email archiving solution for the Mac. MailSteward archives email in a relational database for easy access and safe backup of all your email. Whether you manage a business, are an independent professional, or just a person with a lot of email, for legal reasons, business reasons, and personal reasons, it is essential to be able to safely archive and easily search your email. Murfreesboro, Tenn - Pubblog.com announces the release of MailSteward and MailSteward Pro, version 8.0.5. This version adds the ability to index any and all fields in a MailSteward database for faster searching. Also, preferences and settings are now associated with individual databases, so that each database has its own settings for what to archive, what fields to index, saved searches, and other options. MailSteward is the ultimate email archiving solution for the Mac. MailSteward archives email in a relational database for easy access and safe backup of all your email. Whether you manage a business, are an independent professional, or just a person with a lot of email, for legal reasons, business reasons, and personal reasons, it is essential to be able to safely archive and easily search your email. On April 12, 2006 the United States Supreme Court laid down new rules that require companies, government agencies, and public school districts to have systems for retrieving email and other electronic data that might be needed for evidence in a court case. The new rules were updated later that year in December. This means that, if you are in charge of a school district's, or company's information technology, you are legally required to set up and maintain a system for archiving email, and for enabling quick and easy access to it. There are a few products and services available for accomplishing this responsibility. According to an excellent article in Education Week's Digital Directions magazine, a school district in New Jersey spent over $50,000 on a system for archiving their email. There is a very informative article on the CompuThink website about the new rules, including links to the actual text of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. For smaller school districts and companies the available solutions are likely to be too expensive and complicated for them to implement. MailSteward Pro is a Macintosh-based solution that is easy to set up and maintain, providing automatic archiving and sophisticated searching of large volumes of email. For organizations that are running their own mail server, MailSteward Pro can be set up to automatically archive all incoming and outgoing email. If the mail server is configured to put copies of all email coming in or going out, into a particular directory, MailSteward Pro can then be configured in the Settings to always import any email that exists in that directory. For organizations that are not running their own mail server, each individual in the organization can have a copy of MailSteward Pro that is set up to automatically, on a schedule, archive their email into a central MySQL database on a network server.

Hello everyone, Kingston HyperX 2GB PC3-14400 XMP " A few months ago, I reviewed a DDR3 kit from Kingston that supported 1800MHz operation at fairly fast timings. It was criticized by some that the modules did not include XMP information to aid in easy system setup. Fast forward to the current market and the KHX14400D2K2/2GX delivers XMP support.

Greetings, Overclockers Online has posted a new review. A news post would be greatly appreciated. Title: Biostar TPower I45 at Overclockers Online Link: http://www.overclockersonline.net/?page=articles&num=1921 Quote: Overall I am impressed with Biostar's latest TPower offering, the I45.
