Hexglass v1.0.0 (from http://news.warpevents.eu/) |
HexGlass is a Tetris-like puzzle game based on a hexagonal grid. Ten different types of blocks continuously fall from above and you must arrange them to make horizontal rows of hexagonal bricks. Completing any row causes those hexagonal blocks to disappear and those above move downwards. The blocks gradually fall faster and the game is over when the screen fills up and blocks can no longer fall from the top.

Agena - a new procedural programming language (from http://news.warpevents.eu/) |
Hello, I would like to introduce you to a new language called Agena. Agena is an easy-to-learn procedural programming language designed to be used in scientific, educational, linguistic, graphical, and many other applications, including scripting. The syntax resembles very simplified Algol 68 with elements taken from Maple, Lua and SQL. You may download Agena, its sources, its manual from http://class='extlink'http://agena.sourceforge.net Agena binaries are available for Mac OS X, Windows, Solaris, Linux, OS/2 & eComStation, Haiku, and DOS. I will be very happy if you take the time to send me any useful feedback. Thank you. -> URL: http://news.warpevents.eu/en/home/news_archive/newsdetails/archive/2010/september/article/agena_a_new_procedural_programming_language.html -> comments: 0 [ Version for printing ] [ Send via eMail ] |

New GBM (Generalised Bitmap Module) releases (from http://news.warpevents.eu/) |
I have finished a new release of most GBM modules with several enhancements. The main improvements are:
- Multithreading and SSE support for the resampling scaler which makes full use of current Multicore CPUs - Improved quality of the resampling scaler - RAW Camera read support for all GBM modules and plugins - GBM Mozilla plugin can now be installed as XPI package - GBM Mozilla plugin keyboard handling improvements - Several bugfixes and optimizations, libpng update - A Windows version of the GBM Mozilla plugin is now available
Please note that the installation steps for the GBM Mozilla plugin have changed (see included documentation).
GBM plugin 1.41 for Lucide 1.20 and higher ------------------------------------------ This is a plugin for the Lucide document viewer available for eComStation that extends Lucide for the support of reading all bitmap formats supported by GBM.DLL.
Get the package gbmos2plugins_lu141_moz141_bin.zip or the WarpIN installation package (see below).
GBM plugin 1.41 for Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox/SeaMonkey ------------------------------------------------------ This is a plugin for the Webbrowsers Netscape, Mozilla, Firefox and SeaMonkey available for OS/2 and eComStation that extends them for the support of reading all bitmap formats supported by GBM.DLL.
Get the package gbmos2plugins_lu141_moz141_bin.zip or the WarpIN installation package (see below). There is also a Mozilla XPI installer package available separately (included in WarpIN package).
GBM.DLL 1.70 and GBM command line tools --------------------------------------- The Generalised Bitmap Module (GBM) is a library capable of loading and saving bitmap files in a variety of popular and less popular bitmap file formats. Programs may be written to use this code, and thus be able to access a variety of file formats without actually knowing what format the pictures are in, or any details about file format itself. It comes with a useful set of command line bitmap manipulation tools.
Get package gbmos2_170_bin.zip or the WarpIN installation package (see below).
Enhanced GBMV/GBMV2 Version 1.56 -------------------------------- GBMV2 is a fast and simple bitmap viewer and editor for the OS/2 and eCS Presentation Manager. GBMV is a simple bitmap viewer.
Get package gbmos2pm156_bin.zip or the WarpIN installation package (see below).
GBM.DLL REXX adapter library (GBMRX 1.14) ----------------------------------------- GBMRX.DLL is a REXX adapter DLL for OS/2 and eComStation which REXX programs may use to load or save all bitmap file formats supported by the GBM.DLL (to/from a file). Almost full feature set of GBM.DLL is provided by the REXX API. I/O remapping is not supported due to language restrictions. Some image manipulations can be done like scale, reflect, rotate.
Get package gbmos2rx114_bin.zip. It is also included in the WarpIN installation package (see below).
Notes for eComStation 1.2/1.2R users: ------------------------------------- Please read the installation instructions. eCS 1.2/1.2R ships with an old GBM.DLL (1.12) which prevents loading of the new GBM.DLL (1.70). Please follow the instructions to use the new GBM.DLL for all programs as well as for eCS WPS features like bitmap previews.
The homepage of GBM for OS/2 and eComStation -------------------------------------------- >- comprehensive documentation (also included in the download archives) - developer tutorials on how to use GBM libs in your own programs - download of all sources and binaries
Download from Hobbes -------------------- http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/h-search.php http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/h-search.php http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/h-search.php http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/h-search.php
WarpIN installation package (GBM.DLL, GBM command line tools, GBMV2, GBMRX, GBMDLGRX, GBM plugins, J2K codec, Doc): http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/h-search.php
Full source code: http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/h-search.php

Lzip v1.11 (from http://news.warpevents.eu/) |
Lzip is a lossless data compressor based on the LZMA algorithm, with very safe integrity checking and a user interface similar to the one of gzip or bzip2. Lzip decompresses almost as fast as gzip and compresses better than bzip2, which makes it well suited for software distribution and data archiving. Lziprecover is a data recovery tool for lzip compressed files able to repair slightly damaged files, recover badly damaged files from two or more copies, and extract undamaged members from multi-member files. 2010-09-16 Antonio Diaz Diaz
* Version 1.11 released. * Added new option `-0’ which produces a compression speed and ratio comparable to those of `gzip -9’. * fast_encoder.h fast_encoder.cc: New files. * main.cc: Match length limit set by options -1 to -8 has been reduced to extend range of use towards gzip. Lower numbers now compress less but faster. (-1 now takes 43% less time for only 20% larger compressed size). * encoder.cc: Compression of option -9 has been slightly increased. * lziprecover.cc: Added new option "--merge" which tries to produce a correct file merging the good parts of two or more damaged copies. * lziprecover.cc: Added new option "--repair" for repairing a 1-byte error in single-member files. * decoder.cc (decode_member): Detect file errors earlier to improve efficiency of lziprecover’s new repair capability. This change also prevents (harmless) access to uninitialized memory when decompressing a corrupt file. * lziprecover.cc: Added new option "--force". * lziprecover.cc: Added new option "--output". * lziprecover.cc: Added new option "--split" to select the until now only operation of splitting multimember files. * lziprecover.cc: If no operation is specified, warn the user and do nothing. * main.cc: Fixed warning about fchown’s return value being ignored. * decoder.cc: "-tvvvv" now also shows compression ratio. * main.cc: Set stdin/stdout in binary mode on MSVC and OS2. * New examples have been added to the manual. * testsuite: "test1" renamed to "test.txt" * Matchfinder types HC4 (4 bytes hash-chain) and HT4 (4 bytes hash-table) have been tested and found no better than the current BT4.
