Joomla to get vendor certification program

noreply@blogger.com (Gee TEE) — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 08:33:00 +0000

Joomla developers are establishing an accreditation program to certify extensions built for the open source content management system (CMS) platform.

Code quality, security, design, usability and accessibility will be tested in the Jentla Software Certification program, named for the Queensland-based Joomla CMS vendor.

Jentla founder Damian Hickey is working with Joomla founder Andrew Eddie on the certification program, Hickey which hopes will build a "brand of trust over specialty Joomla extensions".

Eddie is designing the tests, and will be the program's first certifier while training others for the task. Jentla has dedicated five developers to administer the process.

"We'd like to develop a certifications marketplace," Hickey told iTnews of the vendor's role in the process. "A community finds it difficult to drive something like that."

Hickey names Microsoft's SharePoint as a competitor. Others include products by Oracle and IBM, as well as open source media platform Plone.

"Open source products have really come of age," he said. "We launched the Jentla Software Certification program to ... create the level of quality assurance our larger customers expect from their web CMS."

Jentla plans to launch online, self-service code quality and security tests in September.

The remaining tests will be conducted manually by a specialist team from October. It is expected certification will cost in the order of $1,000.

Rackspace And NASA doing their bit For Open Source Cloud Platform

noreply@blogger.com (Gee TEE) — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 08:29:00 +0000

Rackspace Hosting has officially launched OpenStack, an open-source cloud platform that it hopes will drive the uptake of cloud apps, prevent vendor lock-in and encourage cloud interoperability.

Currently the second largest provider of cloud hosting services, Rackspace has donated the source code that powers its Cloud Files and Cloud Servers public-cloud offerings to the OpenStack project. NASA is also donating code, and vendors including Citrix and Dell are supporting the project.

Speaking to eWEEK Europe UK, Fabio Torlini, head of Cloud EMEA at Rackspace, said that the announcement is a win for Rackspace and a win for the industry. “At the moment, we have just short of 100,000 cloud customers,” Torlini said. “Essentially, we have three cloud products, the first of which is Cloud Files, which is a cloud storage platform that already has 1 petabyte of data.

“Our second cloud offering is Cloud Servers, which has 60,000 virtualised servers, and the third product is Cloud Sight, which is a cloud computing platform that allows customers to upload their own code such as a blog etc.”

These offerings are hosted in the US, with the UK set to see the arrival of Cloud Files and Cloud Servers in October or November this year.

But if these products are so successful, why donate your code and launch an open source cloud offering?

“We already have two really large and popular cloud platforms,” said Torlini, “but we are now giving our code away so that people can replicate those services. We are doubling our cloud users at the moment and are doing well, but overall we think cloud offerings are not gaining as much traction as possible. So yes, going open source opens us up to more competition, but we think we can differentiate ourselves and grow the overall market.”

“Right now there are no competitors to this,” said Torlini. “The closest is Amazon with EC2, but that is a closed platform.”

And OpenStack has gained some big name partners, including the US space agency NASA, which already operates its own cloud computing service called NASA Nebula.

According to Torlini, at the OpenStack launch on Monday, the OpenStack Object Storage (i.e. Cloud Files) will be available immediately for download and replication at OpenStack.org.

“Any organisation will be able to turn physical hardware into massively scalable and extensible cloud environments using the same code currently in production serving tens of thousands of customers and large government projects,” said the company.

Paint.NET 3.5.5

noreply@blogger.com (Gee TEE) — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 01:10:00 +0000

Paint.NET is a freeware raster graphics editing program for Microsoft Windows, developed on the .NET Framework. Originally created as a Washington State University student project, Paint.NET has evolved from a simple replacement for the Microsoft Paint program, which is included with Windows, into a powerful editor with support for layers, blending, transparency, and plugins.-wiki

Paint.NET's TYPE: Freeware
Paint.NET's DOWNLOAD: Direct download from FH
Paint.NET's SIZE: 3.51 MB
Paint.NET's GOOGLE HITS: 27 Millions +

Features

	Simple, intuitive, and innovative user interface Every feature and user interface element was designed to be immediately intuitive and quickly learnable without assistance. In order to handle multiple images easily, Paint.NET uses a tabbed document interface. The tabs display a live thumbnail of the image instead of a text description. This makes navigation very simple and fast. The interface is also enhanced for Aero Glass if you are using Windows 7 or Vista.

	Performance Extensive work has gone into making Paint.NET the fastest image editor available. Whether you have a netbook with a power-conscious Atom CPU, or a Dual Intel Xeon workstation with 8 blazingly fast processing cores, you can expect Paint.NET to start up quickly and be responsive to every mouse click.

	Layers Usually only found on expensive or complicated professional software, layers form the basis for a rich image composition experience. You may think of them as a stack of transparency slides that, when viewed together at the same time, form one image.



	Active Online Community Paint.NET has an online forum with a friendly, passionate, and ever-expanding community. Be sure to check out the constantly growing list of tutorials and plugins!

	Automatically Updated Updates are free, and contain new features, performance improvements, and bug fixes. Upgrading to the latest version is very simple, requiring only two clicks of the mouse.
	Special Effects Many special effects are included for enhancing and perfecting your images. Everything from blurring, sharpening, red-eye removal, distortion, noise, and embossing are included. Also included is our unique 3D Rotate/Zoom effect that makes it very easy to add perspective and tilting. Adjustments are also included which help you tweak an image's brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, curves, and levels. You can also convert an image to black and white, or sepia-toned.

	Powerful Tools Paint.NET includes simple tools for drawing shapes, including an easy-to-use curve tool for drawing splines or Bezier curves. The Gradient tool, new for 3.0, has been cited as an innovative improvement over similar tools provided by other software. The facilities for creating and working with selections is powerful, yet still simple enough to be picked up quickly. Other powerful tools include the Magic Wand for selecting regions of similar color, and the Clone Stamp for copying or erasing portions of an image. There is also a simple text editor, a tool for zooming, and a Recolor tool.



	Unlimited History Everybody makes mistakes, and everybody changes their mind. To accommodate this, every action you perform on an image is recorded in the History window and may be undone. Once you've undone an action, you can also redo it. The length of the history is only limited by available disk space.

	Free! Paint.NET doesn't cost a dime.

Features :

As with LimeWire, FrostWire is written in Java, and is therefore capable of supporting multiple platforms.
While LimeWire is available in both free and paid versions, FrostWire is released only as a free version, the Windows version of which comes bundled with the Ask.com toolbar. FrostWire includes much of the functionality of LimeWire's free version, as well as a few of LimeWire Pro's payment based upgrades.
FrostWire provides a chatroom, which is absent in LimeWire. However, LimeWire includes an instant messenger using the XMPP protocol and allows the user to share with individual friends in the messenger which is a feature not found in FrostWire. Starting from version 4.13.1.7, the chat feature displays advertising to help pay for the required servers.
Connections are encrypted with TLS by default unless it is disabled at the preferences. This feature was included in order to obfuscate connections and therefore prevent ISPs from successfully monitoring their clients when they connect to the Gnutella network. Users tend to disable this obfuscation method due to its high CPU usage.
FrostWire also includes a "Stop Search" feature, which is useful if you found a preferred download and do not want to lose it in the other results that pop up.

MySQL is owned and sponsored by a single for-profit firm, the Swedish company MySQL AB, now a subsidiary of Sun Microsystems. As of 2009 Oracle Corporation began the process of acquiring Sun Microsystems.MySQL is often used in free software projects that require a full-featured database management system, such as WordPress, phpBB and other software built on the LAMP software stack. It is also used in very high-scale World Wide Web products including Wikipedia, Google and Facebook

MySQL 5.1.46 Improvements:

#InnoDB Plugin Notes:

* InnoDB Plugin has been upgraded to version 1.0.7. This version is considered of General Availability (GA) quality. The InnoDB Plugin Change History may contain information in addition to those changes reported here.

* In this release, the InnoDB Plugin is included in source and binary distributions, except RHEL3, RHEL4, SuSE 9 (x86, x86_64, ia64), and generic Linux RPM packages. It also does not work for FreeBSD 6 and HP-UX or for Linux on generic ia64.

#Functionality added or changed:

* There is a new system variable, skip_name_resolve, that is set from the value of the --skip-name-resolve server option. This provides a way to determine at runtime whether the server uses name resolution for client connections. (Bug#37168)

# Bugs fixed:

* Security Fix: Privilege checking for UNINSTALL PLUGIN was incorrect. (Bug#51770)
* Partitioning: Partition pruning on RANGE partitioned tables did not always work correctly; the last partition was not excluded if the range was beyond it (when not using MAXVALUE). Now the last partition is not included if the partitioning function value is not within the range. (Bug#51830)
* Partitioning: The insert_id server system variable was not reset following an insert that failed on a partitioned MyISAM table having an AUTO_INCREMENT column. (Bug#50392)
* Partitioning: Foreign keys are not supported on partitioned tables. However, it was possible via an ALTER TABLE statement to set a foreign key on a partitioned table; it was also possible to partition a table with a single foreign key. (Bug#50104)
* Partitioning: GROUP BY queries performed poorly for some partitioned tables. This was due to the block size not being set for partitioned tables, thus the keys per block was not correct, which could cause such queries to be optimized incorrectly. (Bug#48229) See also Bug#37252.
* Partitioning: REPAIR TABLE failed for partitioned ARCHIVE tables. (Bug#46565)
* Replication: TRUNCATE TABLE performed on a temporary table using the InnoDB storage engine was logged even when using row-based mode. (Bug#51251)
* Replication: When using temporary tables the binary log needs to insert a pseudo-thread ID for threads that are using temporary tables, each time a switch happens between two threads, both of which are using temporary tables. However, if a thread issued a failing statement before exit, its ID was not recorded in the binary log, and this in turn caused the ID for the next thread that tried to do something with a temporary table not to be logged as well. Subsequent replays of the binary log failed with the error Table ... doesn't exist. (Bug#51226)
* Replication: If the master was using sql_mode='TRADITIONAL', duplicate key errors were not sent to the slave, which received 0 rather than the expected error code. This caused replication to fail even when such an error was expected. (Bug#51055)
* Replication: When run with the --database option, mysqlbinlog printed ROLLBACK statements but did not print any corresponding SAVEPOINT statements. (Bug#50407)
* Replication: CREATE EVENT statements were padded with “garbage” characters when written to the binary log, which caused a syntax error when trying to read back from the log. (Bug#50095)
* Replication: Column length information generated by InnoDB did not match that generated by MyISAM, which caused invalid metadata to be written to the binary log when trying to replicate BIT columns. (Bug#49618)
* Replication: The value of Slave_IO_running in the output of SHOW SLAVE STATUS did not distinguish between all 3 possible states of the slave I/O thread (not running; running but not connected; connected). Now the value Connecting (rather than No) is shown when the slave I/O thread is running but the slave is not connected to a replication master. The server system variable Slave_running also reflects this change, and is now consistent with what is shown for Slave_IO_running. (Bug#30703, Bug#41613, Bug#51089)
* EXPLAIN EXTENDED crashed trying to resolve references to freed temporary table columns for GROUP_CONCAT() ORDER BY arguments. (Bug#52397)
* For InnoDB Plugin, bit fields were causing problems with concurrency on SMP systems because of word-packing issues. (Bug#52360)
* The optimizer could attempt to evaluate the WHERE clause before any rows had been read, resulting in a server crash. (Bug#52177)
* For LDML-defined collations, some data structures were not initialized properly to enable UPPER() and LOWER() to work correctly. (Bug#51976)
* On Windows, LOAD_FILE() could cause a crash for some pathnames. (Bug#51893)
* Invalid memory reads occurred for HANDLER ... READ NEXT after a failed HANDLER ... READ FIRST. (Bug#51877)
* After TRUNCATE TABLE of a MyISAM table, subsequent queries could crash the server if myisam_use_mmap was enabled. (Bug#51868)
* If myisam_sort_buffer_size was set to a small value, table repair for MyISAM tables with FULLTEXT indexes could crash the server. (Bug#51866)
* In LOAD DATA INFILE, using a SET clause to set a column equal to itself caused a server crash. (Bug#51850)
* A problem with equality propagation optimization for prepared statements and stored procedures caused a server crash upon re-execution of the prepared statement or stored procedure. (Bug#51650) See also Bug#8115, Bug#8849.
* The optimizer performed an incorrect join type when COALESCE() appeared within an IN() operation. (Bug#51598)
* The server crashed when the optimizer attempted to determine constant tables but a table storage engine did not support exact record count. (Bug#51494)
* The server could crash populating the INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PROCESSLIST table due to lack of mutex protection. (Bug#51377)
* Use of HANDLER statements with tables that had spatial indexes caused a server crash. (Bug#51357)
* With an XA transaction active, SET autocommit = 1 could cause side effects such as memory corruption or a server crash. (Bug#51342)
* Following a bulk insert into a MyISAM table, if MyISAM failed to build indexes using repair by sort, data file corruption could occur. (Bug#51307)
* CHECKSUM TABLE could compute the checksum for BIT columns incorrectly. (Bug#51304)
* A HAVING clause on a joined table in some cases failed to eliminate rows which should have been excluded from the result set. (Bug#51242)
* The type inference used for view columns caused some columns in views to be handled as the wrong type, as compared to the same columns in base tables. DATE columns in base tables were treated as TIME columns in views, and base table TIME columns as view DATETIME columns. (Bug#50918)
* The YEAR values 2000 and 0000 could be treated as equal. (Bug#49910)
* Performing a single in-place ALTER TABLE containing ADD INDEX and DROP INDEX options that used the same index name could result in a corrupt table definition file. Now such ALTER TABLE statements are no longer performed in place. (Bug#49838)
* mysql_upgrade did not detect when CSV log tables incorrectly contained columns that could be NULL. Now these columns are altered to be NOT NULL. (Bug#49823)
* If a stored function contained a RETURN statement with an ENUM value in the ucs2 character set, SHOW CREATE FUNCTION and SELECT DTD_IDENTIFIER FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.ROUTINES returned incorrect values. (Bug#48766)
* The server crashed when it could not determine the best execution plan for queries involving outer joins with nondeterministic ON clauses such as the ones containing the RAND() function, a user-defined function, or a NOT DETERMINISTIC stored function. (Bug#48483)
* A query that read from a derived table (of the form SELECT ... FROM (SELECT ...)) produced incorrect results when the following conditions were present:
- The table subquery contained a derived query ((SELECT ... ) AS column).
- The derived query could potentially produce zero rows or a single NULL (that is, no rows matched, or the query used an aggregate function such as SUM() running over zero rows).
- The table subquery joined at least two tables.
- The join condition involved an index. (Bug#47904)
* The optimization to read MIN() or MAX() values from an index did not properly handle comparisons with NULL values. This could produce incorrect results for MIN() or MAX()when the WHERE clause tested a NOT NULL column for NULL. (Bug#47762)
* Killing a query during the optimization phase of a subquery could cause a server crash. (Bug#47761)
* The query shown by EXPLAIN EXTENDED plus SHOW WARNINGS could produce results different from the original query. (Bug#47669)
* Renaming a column of an InnoDB table caused the server to go out of sync with the InnoDB data dictionary. (Bug#47621)
* MyISAM could write uninitialized data to new index pages. Now zeros are written to unused bytes in the pages. (Bug#47598)
* Setting myisam_repair_threads larger than 1 could result in the cardinality for all indexes of a MyISAM table being set to 1 after parallel index repair. (Bug#47444)
* In debug builds, if the listed columns in the view definition of the table used in an INSERT ... SELECT statement mismatched, an assertion was raised in the query cache invalidation code following the failing statement. (Bug#46615)
* For a query that selected from a view and used an alias for the view, the metadata used the alias name rather than the view name in the MYSQL_FIELD.table member. (Bug#41788)
* mysql_upgrade did not create temporary files properly. (Bug#41057)
* It was possible for DROP TABLE of one MyISAM table to remove the data and index files of a different MyISAM table. (Bug#40980)
* If the arguments to a CONCAT() call included a local routine variable, selecting the return value into a user variable could produce an incorrect result. (Bug#40625)
* SHOW CREATE VIEW returned invalid SQL if the definition contained a SELECT 'string' statement where the string was longer than the maximum length of a column name, due to the fact that this text was also used as an alias (in the AS clause). Because not all names retrieved from arbitrary SELECT statements can be used as view column names due to length and format restrictions, the server now checks the conformity of automatically generated column names and rewrites according to a predefined format any names that are not acceptable as view column names before storing the final view definition on disk. In such cases, the name is now rewritten as Name_exp_pos, where pos is the position of the column. To avoid this conversion scheme, define explicit, valid names for view columns using the column_list clause of the CREATE VIEW statement. As part of this fix, aliases are now generated only for top-level statements. (Bug#40277)
* While looking for the shortest index for a covering index scan, the optimizer ignored that a clustered primary key read the entire table. (Bug#39653)
* mysqlbinlog had a memory leak in its option-processing code. (Bug#38468)
* The test for readline during configuration failed when trying to build MySQL in a directory other than the source tree root. (Bug#35250)

Paint.NET 3.5.5 Beta 3

noreply@blogger.com (Gee TEE) — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 01:20:00 +0000

Paint.NET is a freeware raster graphics editing program for Microsoft Windows, developed on the .NET Framework. Originally created as a Washington State University student project, Paint.NET has evolved from a simple replacement for the Microsoft Paint program, which is included with Windows, into a powerful editor with support for layers, blending, transparency, and plugins.-wiki

Features

	Simple, intuitive, and innovative user interface Every feature and user interface element was designed to be immediately intuitive and quickly learnable without assistance. In order to handle multiple images easily, Paint.NET uses a tabbed document interface. The tabs display a live thumbnail of the image instead of a text description. This makes navigation very simple and fast. The interface is also enhanced for Aero Glass if you are using Windows 7 or Vista.

	Performance Extensive work has gone into making Paint.NET the fastest image editor available. Whether you have a netbook with a power-conscious Atom CPU, or a Dual Intel Xeon workstation with 8 blazingly fast processing cores, you can expect Paint.NET to start up quickly and be responsive to every mouse click.

	Layers Usually only found on expensive or complicated professional software, layers form the basis for a rich image composition experience. You may think of them as a stack of transparency slides that, when viewed together at the same time, form one image.



	Active Online Community Paint.NET has an online forum with a friendly, passionate, and ever-expanding community. Be sure to check out the constantly growing list of tutorials and plugins!

	Automatically Updated Updates are free, and contain new features, performance improvements, and bug fixes. Upgrading to the latest version is very simple, requiring only two clicks of the mouse.
	Special Effects Many special effects are included for enhancing and perfecting your images. Everything from blurring, sharpening, red-eye removal, distortion, noise, and embossing are included. Also included is our unique 3D Rotate/Zoom effect that makes it very easy to add perspective and tilting. Adjustments are also included which help you tweak an image's brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, curves, and levels. You can also convert an image to black and white, or sepia-toned.

	Powerful Tools Paint.NET includes simple tools for drawing shapes, including an easy-to-use curve tool for drawing splines or Bezier curves. The Gradient tool, new for 3.0, has been cited as an innovative improvement over similar tools provided by other software. The facilities for creating and working with selections is powerful, yet still simple enough to be picked up quickly. Other powerful tools include the Magic Wand for selecting regions of similar color, and the Clone Stamp for copying or erasing portions of an image. There is also a simple text editor, a tool for zooming, and a Recolor tool.



	Unlimited History Everybody makes mistakes, and everybody changes their mind. To accommodate this, every action you perform on an image is recorded in the History window and may be undone. Once you've undone an action, you can also redo it. The length of the history is only limited by available disk space.

	Free! Paint.NET doesn't cost a dime.

HijackThis 2.0.4

noreply@blogger.com (Gee TEE) — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 01:15:00 +0000

HijackThis, sometimes abbreviated HJT, is a freeware enumerating tool for Microsoft Windows originally created by Merijn Bellekom, and later sold to Trend Micro. The program is notable for targeting browser hijacking methods - rather than relying on a database of known spyware. It scans a user's computer quickly, and displays browser hijacking locations, showing what entries are there. HijackThis is used primarily for diagnosis of browser hijacking, as uninformed use of its removal facilities can cause significant software damage to a computer. HijackThis does not remove or detect spyware, it only lists most common locations where browser hijacking activity can occur. Browser hijacking can cause malware to be instituted on a user's computer.
