[ANN] Pida 0.6beta3


We are proud to announce the hopfully last beta of Pida 0.6. [1]

It was a long time since beta2 and a lot of changes happened since then:

== Core Highlights ==
• multiprocessing language plugins
    Language plugins can now use a multiprocessing infrastructure which
    allows expensive operations to be done on other cpu cores. This
    increases the speed of plugins like python_lint and python
    dramatically and do not make the gui sluggish anymore.
• project file caches
    Projects now have a filecache which allows fast queries to filenames
    and filetypes. The QuickOpen plugin provides a gui for this,
    allowing the user to open files to which parts of the name, path or
    filetype are known
• very precise feature selection from LanguagePlugins
• better filemonitor support
• new documentation (needs some gui work tho)
• lot of speedups
• lot of usability enhancements
• lots and lots of fixes

== New Plugins ==
• RegexpToolkit - helps you develop and analyze regular expressions
• QuickOpen - fast file opener for project files
• WayPoint - autogenerates waypoints when you surf and edit files and
  allows to jump back and forth

CVE-2009-2701: Releases to fix ZODB ZEO server vulnerability

A vulnerability has been found in the Zope Object Database (ZODB) Zope
Enterprise Objects (ZEO) server implementation that allows any file
readable by the server to be read by clients and any file removable by
the server to be removed.

The vulnerability only applies if

- you are using ZEO to share a database among multiple applications or
  application instances,
- you allow untrused clients to connect to your ZEO server, and
- the ZEO server is configured to support blobs.

The vulnerability was introduced in ZODB 3.8.

Overview
--------

This vulnerability is addressed by updates to ZODB.

A new release of ZODB is available here:

  http://pypi.python.org/pypi/ZODB3/3.8.3

(There is also a new development release at
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/ZODB3/3.9.0c2.)

If you are using blobs, we recommend updating any ZEO storage servers
you're running to ZODB 3.8.3 (or ZODB 3.9.0c2).  These versions
support ZEO clients as old as ZODB 3.2. It isn't necessary to update
client software (such as Zope application servers).

[ANN] Pida 0.6beta3

Pida is an IDE (integrated development environment).
Pida is different from other IDEs in that it will use the tools you
already have available rather than attempting to reinvent each one. Pida
has unique features like a pluggable editor component supporting Vim,
Emacs and Medit currently.

We are proud to announce the hopefully last beta of Pida 0.6. [1]

ANN: PyBindGen 0.12 released

PyBindGen is a Python module that is geared to generating C/C++ code that
binds a C/C++ library for Python. It does so without extensive use of either
C++ templates or C pre-processor macros. It has modular handling of C/C++
types, and can be easily extended with Python plugins. The generated code is
almost as clean as what a human programmer would write.

It can be downloaded from:

        http://code.google.com/p/pybindgen/

Bug reports should be filed here:

        https://bugs.launchpad.net/pybindgen

=== pybindgen 0.12 ===

    - Now we can catch C++ exceptions and translate them into Python

    - New API to add container iteration powers to wrapped C++ classes

    - Unary minus operator support (J. Michael Owen)

    - CppMethod: is_pure_virtual=True should imply is_virtual=True

    - More polish for numeric operators with non-class right operand

    - Virtual methods regressions fixed

    - gccxmlparser: don't try to wrap private/protected operators

First release of pyfsevents

Hello!

I am proud to announce the first release of pyfsevents, a C extension
providing a Python interface to the FSEvents API.
FSEvents is an Apple framework for Mac OS X >= 10.5 allowing
monitoring of file system events on Mac OS platforms.

* URL:
      http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyfsevents
* Mercurial repository:
      http://bitbucket.org/nicdumz/fsevents/

This extension was developed during a Google Summer of Code project
[1] for Mercurial, to improve its inotify extension [2]

As it is its first release I would welcome warmly any kind of feedback
on that extension.
Tests, code comments, feedback on the offered API, its documentation,
distribution, etc... Anything, please let me know :)

Pydev 1.5.0 (Pydev Extensions open sourced)

Hi All,

Today, Aptana is proud to announce that Pydev and Pydev Extensions
have become a single plugin, with all the available contents open
source (and freely available for anyone) in the 1.5.0 release (it's
the same as 1.4.8 but with all the code open source).

With that, Aptana believes in providing a better service and growth
path for Pydev (which will still be actively maintained by Aptana),
enabling anyone to provide contributions to the previously closed
source product, while providing its Cloud customers a better service.

Note for those already using Pydev or Pydev Extensions:

The update site has been changed (see:
http://www.pydev.org/download.html for more details) and if you had
a previous install of Pydev Extensions, you need to uninstall it
before installing the new version of Pydev.

Note for developers:

Pydev is now available under git (at github), and its previously used
subversion will be disabled. Instructions on getting the source code
from the new location is available at:
http://www.pydev.org/developers.html

Best Regards,

--
