audioconvert 0.3.0! the new super script to convert audio files is out! : )

hi gals, hi dudes : )

i was advised to post here about my new program to easily convert even a 
large bunch of audio files with a couple of clicks! it's a nautilus 
script! you can download it at 
http://freshmeat.net/projects/audioconvert. here are the features:

audio convert is a script that converts between WAV, Ogg, MP3, MPC, FLAC, 
APE, AAC, and WMA files. It has an easy-to-use interface that makes it 
possible to fill in the tags for a few formats, copy the tags from input 
files into the new files, and choose the quality of compression. The 
script was initially designed for the Nautilus file browser and can be 
easily installed into Nautilus by copying it to the nautilus-scripts 
directory. You can then right- click on files and choose "audio-convert" 
from the "scripts" menu. The script is also known to work on rox or 
directly from a shell.

this release focuses on:

aac support added. now you can convert from any format to aac and from aac 
to any format! with metatags editin' and copyin', from or too aac, now 
supported!

i hope you guys really enjoy its functionality and features! and let me 
know about suggestions, bugs, and if you want to contribute to a 
translation in your own language! we already support many, but some are 
outdated, so do contact me about translations! : )

ciao! : )

ANNOUNCE: Gtk2Hs version 0.9.10 released

Gtk2Hs - A GUI Library for Haskell based on Gtk+

Version 0.9.10 is now available from:

http://haskell.org/gtk2hs/download/

An installer for Windows is available. A package is available for
Gentoo. Packages for other platforms should become available soon
(hopefully including Fedora Core, Debian, Darwin, FreeBSD and OpenBSD).

Changes since 0.9.9:
      * New bindings for the cairo vector graphics library. This
        provides a easy-to-use vector graphics API (using a PDF-style
        drawing model) with high quality output for multiple backends
        (screen, print and image files).
      * Completion of Pango, the text layout and rendering engine of Gtk
        +. We now provide all functions that end users should ever need
        for rendering text, ranging from type-setting whole paragraphs
        down to breaking up attributed text into several runs. All
        offsets into Haskell strings are transparently translated into
        UTF-8 offsets used in Pango, thereby alleviating much of the
        grief of dealing with Unicode.
      * new Gtk+ 2.8 APIs are bound
      * many bugs fixed
      * various minor documentation improvements
      * an installer for Windows is available again
      * the mozembed HTML rendering component can now be built against
        the FireFox libraries if the appropriate developer files are
        present.

Other news since the last release announcement:
      * Paolo Martini won a $4500 grant under the Google Summer of Code
        programme for a project to add bindings for the cairo vector
        graphics library to Gtk2Hs.
      * Gtk2Hs is being used as part of the practical element of
        Functional Programming courses at the University of Oxford in
        England and the University of Jyväskylä in Finland.

Gtk2Hs feature highlights:
      * automatic memory management
      * Unicode support
      * nearly full coverage of Gtk+ 2.8
      * bindings for the cairo vector graphics library
      * support for the Glade visual GUI builder
      * bindings for several Gnome modules:
                GConf, Gnome's system for storing app preferences
                SourceView, code editor widget with syntax highlighting
                the Mozilla browser rendering engine in a widget
      * extensive API reference documentation
      * multi-platform support with native look
      * LGPL licence

Platforms and requirements:
      * builds from source on Linux, Windows, MacOS X, FreeBSD, OpenBSD
        and Solaris
      * builds with GHC 6.4.x, 6.2.x, 6.0.x and 5.04.x
      * works with Gtk+ version 2.0 through to 2.2, 2.4, 2.6 and 2.8
      * optional cairo support requires cairo 1.0 or later, however
        using cairo in conjunction with Gtk+ requires Gtk+ 2.8.x or
        later
      * optional Gnome support requires Gnome 2.0 or better
      * optional Mozilla support requires Mozilla 1.4 or FireFox 1.0 or
        later with the appropriate development files.

Goals for the 1.0 release:
      * a stable API for the 1.0.x series
      * greater coverage of the Gtk+ API (we're about 90% there now)
      * support for the OpenGL 3D rendering API
      * introductory and other tutorials
      * packages for all popular platforms

Please report all problems to gtk2hs-devel <at> sourceforge.net
Contributions and feedback are also most welcome.

To lower the barrier to contributions, the development version of Gtk2Hs
is now available via darcs:
darcs get http://haskell.org/gtk2hs/darcs/gtk2hs

Guikachu 1.5.6: GNOME Resource editor for PalmOS projects

Dear users of both large and small computing tools,

A new unstable release of Guikachu is available.

About Guikachu
--------------
Guikachu is a GNOME application for graphical editing of resource
files for PalmOS-based pocket computers. The user interface is
modelled after Glade, the GNOME UI builder.

Catch it all from http://cactus.rulez.org/projects/guikachu/

Features
--------
  * Uses GNOME-VFS, you can load files from anywhere, e.g. from the
    Web, from an SMB share, from a tarball.
  * Exporting to/importing from PilRC .rcp files
  * Support for non-Palm PilRC targets (like the eBookMan)
  * Support for the following PalmOS resource types:
 	- String and string list resources
 	- Dialog resources
 	- Menu resources
 	- Form resources
 	- Bitmap resources
 	- Per-application resources (e.g. version number)
  * WYSIWYG Form Editor, with drag & drop capability and visual resizing
  * Flexible, complete undo support
  * Sample file with sample GNU PalmOS SDK-based application
  * Documentation (a complete user's manual)

About this release
------------------
This release is part of the 1.5 development branch, so it's all about
crazy experimentations and not about providing a polished, well-tested
product. However, 1.5.6 now contains everything planned for our next
stable release, 2.0, so please help us by trying it and reporting
problems.

New in this release:
Completely reworked the menu editor, based on valuable input from the
GNOME Usability Workgroup.

Guikachu uses the GNOME 2 platform, particularly the GNOMEmm and GTKmm
C++ bindings. To actually create the PalmOS resource files, you will also
need PilRC (part of the GNU PalmOS SDK) to compile the .rpc files
produced by Guikachu.

Beware of bugémons!

         Cactus

ANNOUNCE: Spam Trainer 0.1.4

===========
What is it?
===========

Spam Trainer makes it easier for GNOME users to train spam filtering
software (e.g. SpamBayes or SpamAssassin) that "learns" how to tell the
difference between real email (ham) and unsolicited messages (spam).

Simply drag and drop your email messages onto the spam/ham icons and
Spam Trainer will do the rest!

===========
What's new?
===========

* If a training script is unsuccessful it can now exit with a
   non-zero exit code, causing Spam Trainer to display an error
   dialog to the user.

* Minor usability improvements.

============
Requirements
============

* Mono (any 1.x release should suffice)
* Gtk#

===================
Where can I get it?
===================

More information (including screenshots) is available here:
http://spamtrainer.sourceforge.net/

Source packages are available here:
