Azureus is a powerful, full-featured, cross-platform bittorrent client.   Azureus 3.0.3.0 brings the version numbering back into line and should reduce confusion over which 2.x version maps to which 3.x version.  Existing 2.x users will get the classic UI, while new and existing 3.x users will get the Vuze client UI, with the option to switch back to the 2.x UI if you choose.  1. What's new in Azureus 3.0.3.0     Noteable changes in this version:     1.1 Experimental Support for LibTorrent Extension Protocol Handshake    * Provides a bridge between Azureus' Peer Exchange and LibTorrent's     1.2 Disk Space Indicators on the Torrent Open Dialog    * Requires Java 1.6     1.3 (Vuze User Interface) Embedded Media Player    * With an embedded media player, we can better guarantee that content downloaded from vuze.com can be played on your system.     1.4 Other Noteables    * Speedup hash-checking by ~30% / less CPU usage    * Bug fixes!

Greg Beaver talks about a big push that he's making towards PEAR2 by working hard on an integral piece of the puzzle - the Pyrus installer.   I'm churning out code to turn its installer, Pyrus, from vaporware into actual code. Along these lines, there has been significant progress.  The code has been developed on PHP 5.2, but will most likely target PHP 5.3 with the introduction of namespaces.  Pyrus completely revamps the way things are done.   Greg mentions some of the functionality the installer will use including XMLReader/XMLWriter, namespaces and bits of functionality from the Standard PHP Library (SPL). He's released what he's developed so far via a PEAR channel with no other dependencies.

A highly critical security hole has been reported in the X Pixmap (libXpm) technology shipped with Solaris and JDS for Linux, which could allow someone to run code on your system if a modified X Pixmmap (.xpm) image is loaded.

Pierre-Alain Joye ha posted some great news about the Zip PECL package today on his blog - it's finally reached stable.   Zip is stable since two releases. I lacked the time to report it :) Three bugs were important. Once PHP 5.2.0 is out, I will focus on the new features. Write stream support, unicode (php6+ support), pattern based addition/extraction and crypting functions.   The three bugs he mentions were a problem with zipArchive::addFile, comment/cdir problems with new archives, and setting properties in extended classes.   You can check out the homepage for the project here or just view the Changelog for complete updates.

Matt Terenzio: "Why we wouldn't use XMPP as the basis for a decentralized microblogging platform?" Good question. I'd like to play with some simple systems on XMPP. I tried to get started with some scripts connecting to Google's Jabber server over the weekend but wasn't able to get a conversation going. I'll try again soon.

XML which is UTF-16 encoded is supposed to have a prolog (first two bytes) called a BOM  of FF FE to signal that the feed you're about to parse is multibyte.  The only problem is that (and get this) Xerces doesn't support this prolog!  "Exception in thread "main" org.apache.commons.feedparser.FeedParserException: org.jdom.JDOMException: Error in building from stream: Content is not allowed in prolog.: Content is not allowed in prolog."  Sam Ruby was nice enough to put out a bunch of unit tests  for UTF-16 and they won't even parse within Xerces.  ...  Nevermind... this was *my* bug... Boy is my face red!

Tycho:  It's floating around now, out there on the Wub, and it calls to you.  Or maybe it does, I don't actually know.  In any case, it can be got from 3D Downloads, the Fileplanets, GamersHell, or WorthDownloading.  Download it from mulltiple sites simultaneously for a naughty thrill.  God only knows how this would run on my Vista rig at home, but it's a Vista rig, so you can probably guess.  (CW)TB

Here's a screen shot of the HTML source.  Looks like it's trying to serve some kind of ActiveX control. Happy to be using a Mac.  PS: Scoble just showed up and TM works on his cell phone so there's something weird going on.

Christian Stocker has an update on his blog today that Windows users will be happy to hear:   Frank Kromann applied some patches yesterday to the PECL sources of the uploadprogress extension to make it compile under Windows (almost the same as by SteveH provided in a comment of my post yesterday). Therefore, thanks to the pecl4win site, a compiled dll is now already available. Get it here (untested by me..)   He also mentions some documentation that was asked about concerning the package (and the patches), but notes that he "can't promise anything any time soon".
