theodp writes “Nicholas Carr is not pleased that Apple has applied for a patent to extend DRM to tennis shoes and other articles of clothing. Apple apparently views tennis-shoe DRM as a way to head off a potential plague of sneaker hacking. ‘Some people,’ the patent application observes, ‘have taken it upon themselves to remove the sensor from the special pocket of the [iPod-linked] Nike+ shoe and place it at inappropriate locations (shoelaces, for example) or place it on non-Nike+ model shoes.’”

Pandoc is a Haskell library for converting from one markup format to another, and a command-line tool that uses this library. It can read markdown and (subsets of) reStructuredText, HTML, and LaTeX, and it can write markdown, reStructuredText, HTML, LaTeX, DocBook, OpenDocument XML, RTF, ODT, GNU Texinfo, MediaWiki markup, and S5 HTML slide shows. Pandoc extends standard markdown syntax with footnotes, embedded LaTeX, and more. A compatibility mode is provided for those who need a drop-in replacement for Markdown.pl. Included wrapper scripts make it easy to convert markdown to PDFs and Web pages to markdown documents. It has a modular design where the addition of a new input or output format requires only the addition of a reader or writer module.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
This release adds four new output formats: OpenDocument XML, GNU Texinfo, ODT, and MediaWiki markup. Pandoc’s markdown now supports a new delimited (or “fenced”) code block syntax, with optional syntax highlighting.

Changes:
Due to the different cases of usernames in log files, all usernames are now converted to lower case, which will also simplify filtering and improve porting to Cygwin. The sort order in the user’s fullurl report is correct now. A new option for placing every site into a separate file in a user’s fullurl report has been implemented. If the month and year of the start and end of the period are the same, then user graphics reports are built using a month scale, not year. Earlier, there was simply a check whether the period was not longer than 30 days, but there are months with 31 days. Minor code optimizations have been implemented.
NovaTK is an object-oriented, cross-platform GUI toolkit. One of the focuses of NovaTK is to facilitate rapid development of cross-platform applications requiring fewer lines of code.

needed; you can work with dictionary files
directly. It uses Unicode, meaning that words and
articles all are in UTF-8. There are two index
levels, compression, and tools to convert from
text files to .dct and vice versa. A Perl/Tk version, libsdict, a C library framework, and a Symbian version are available.
License: GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)
Changes:
Support for variable short index levels was added.
A history API was implemented. Zlib sources were
dropped (dynamic linking with -lz is done
instead). Full support for UTF-8 console and color
support were added, and other changes were made in
Sdict CLI. Code cleanup was done.
view3dscene is a browser for VRML (1.0 and 2.0)
and X3D, and a viewer for other 3D model formats
(3DS, MD3, Wavefront OBJ, and Collada are
handled). It supports viewing the scene in the
“Examine” mode and walking in the virtual world
with features such as collision detection and
gravity. Rendering is done using OpenGL. A
built-in ray-tracer allows the generation of
images with more effects (like shadows and
mirrors) and conforming precisely to the VRML 97
lighting specification. The program can also
convert files from 3DS, MD3, and other formats to
VRML and pretty-print VRML files.
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)
Changes:
The main new features are X3D support and an events mechanism. Many new nodes related to events were implemented: four basic sensor nodes, linear interpolation nodes, and X3D event utilities. The implementation of existing features was improved to take events into account: binding nodes, routing events to GLSL shaders, controlling Inline and InlineLoadControl, and prototypes. MovieTexture is handled, with an extension to load image sequences with full alpha channel. Recording movies is possible. Other new features include Extrusion, BlendMode, KambiInline nodes, new X3D triangles/quads primitives, and HAnim nodes.

a torrent with several files was fixed. The save
directory bug was fixed.
The Castle is a first-person shooter game in a
dark fantasy setting. Your main weapon is a sword,
so the fight is mostly short-range. Three main
levels are included, packed with creatures, items,
and sounds. A couple of bonus levels are also
available, like the classic DOOM E1M1 level
reimplemented in VRML. The game engine is based on
VRML, OpenGL, OpenAL, and all shadows are done by
the shadow volumes approach.

GNU ccScript offers a class extensible threaded embedded scripting engine for use with the Common C++ GNU package. This engine is also used in Bayonne (the GNU telephony server), and in TOSI (FreeBSD and GNU/Linux PBX integration servers). This engine differs from traditional scripting systems in that it is used to script near real-time state-event systems through deterministic callback step execution rather than the linear and non-deterministic fashion of embedded script libraries such as tcl, and libguile.
License: GNU General Public License v3
Changes:
Templating was introduced into the core ccscript
language. This allows one to rapidly define and
apply commands for common event handlers easily to
multiple scripts.
