ANN: BatMon 0.4

B A T T E R Y    M O N I T O R  0.4
-----------------------------------

WHAT IS IT:

Battery monitor is a small utility that displays the status of your 
laptop battery (charge/discharge and status). I works best with linux 
2.6 kernels and ACPI, but now has also support for 2.4 kernels and APM.
It runs also on FreeBSD thanks to patches by Chris Vetter.

What is new in 0.4 ?
- enhanced graphics
- bug fixes
- carhging/discharging display with icon
- support for APM and workarounds for missing/bogus values
- support for 2.4 kernels

WHERE:

Battery Monitor is part of GAP, the GNUSTEP Application Project 
(http://www.nongnu.org/gap/). Specifically its pages are:

<http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/gap/batmon-0.3.tar.gz> for a direct

ANN: PRICE 0.9.0

P. R. I. C. E.  0.9.0
---------------------

I released a new version of price, 0.9.0, today.

What is PRICE?
It stands for Precision Raster Image Convolution Engine and is an 
application that is capable of filtering and processing images. It is 
available on both GNUstep (thus linux, netbsd, freebsd, openbsd, 
solaris) and Macosx (tested from 10.1 Puma and up). It is multi-document 
based and can open all standard images supported by gnustep (tiff, png, 
jpg to cite some). It is capable of doing standard operation like 
crop&scale or brightness&contrast as well as more advanced operations 
with frequency-based filters or median filters or customizeable edge 
tracing.

Where to find it?
http://price.sf.net
where you will find also some online documentation which you will 
probably need to understand better how to use the program.

PRICE is GPL'd and each filter is a separate class with well-defined 
interfaces so I encourage the reuse of them in other applications.

What are the news?
- fixes to build on current glibc and current compilers with 
optimizations enabled.
- new, unified, PRFilter architecture which simplifies all the 
controllers and unifies parameter passing with an Array
- all PRTransform actions (rotations, flips, transposition) now support

What are the news?

The 0.9.0 version had some dirty code with handling a window outlets and 
window resize notification which caused crashes on GNUStep, while it 
worked on the Mac.
This has been addressed and 0.9.1 is thus a bug-fix release.
