stdnoj is a cross-platform C++ class library that
includes classes for using portable strings,
databases, SMTP, POP, NNTP, arrays, files,
directories, logging, email, and sockets. While
templates are used, no reliance upon STL or other
(traditionally error-prone) technologies has been
used, which increases portability between
compilers.
Changes:
This is the first release of the source code for
this library to the general public. Many
portability changes were made.

XPath, and XSLT recommendations that does not
require additional libraries. It allows you to take
advantage of XML/XSLT technologies even if your
provider does not support it. The DOM API features
standard names for methods and properties and
should be compatible with future releases of PHP. The
library allows the execution of PHP code on the fly,
and inserts result into a DOM tree or attribute value.
Changes:
A with replacing and inserting nodes was fixed.

DokuWiki 2005-02-06 (Default branch)
02/07/2005 01:17 AM
DokuWiki is a standards-compliant, simple-to-use
Wiki mainly aimed at creating documentation of any
kind. It is targeted at developer teams,
workgroups, and small companies. It has a simple
but powerful syntax which makes sure the datafiles
remain readable outside the Wiki, and eases the
creation of structured texts. All data is stored
in plain text files, so no database is needed
Changes:
This release changes the file encoding to UTF-8.
Upgraders need to read
http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:utf8update. Many
smaller bugs were fixed. Text alignment in tables
was added, and the last editor information and
summaries are now available for old revisions,
too.
phpWebTickets 2005-01-30 (Default
branch)
phpWebTickets 2005-01-30 (Default
branch)
02/01/2005 09:46 PM
phpWebTickets is a partial rewrite of phpSupport
by Chris S. It sports a templated design using
Smarty, cleaned up code, and added features.
Features will be added after the initial movement
to Smarty and code cleanup have occurred, but
small improvements will most likely sneak their
way in there during the migration.
Changes:
A majority of the actions are now using Smarty. An
option was added to assign a default user to new
tickets. Many cosmetic changes were made to the
default layout. General code cleanup and
beautification was done.

04/15/2005 03:24 PM
trend is a general-purpose, efficient trend graph
for "live" data. Data is read in ASCII format from
a file or continuously from a FIFO, and is played
in real-time into a multipass trend (much like a
CRT oscilloscope). trend can be used as a rapid
analysis tool for progressive or time-based data
series together with trivial scripting.
Changes:
x-axis grid lines are now correctly aligned in scrolling mode. Binary
input support was implemented. hist-spec now uses "x" instead of "*"
to avoid globbing.

The Frink Language 2005-03-22 (Default
branch)
03/30/2005 06:15 PM
Frink is a calculating tool and programming language designed to help
you in the real world. It tracks units of measurement throughout all
calculations and ensures that answers are correct. It converts
between systems of measurement and has a huge library of physical
data. It handles conversions between time zones, currencies, and
historical values of the U.S. dollar and the British pound,
translates between several languages, does date/time math, and more.
Changes:
This release fixes a problem in displaying floating-point
approximations to rational numbers when the numbers involved were very
large (larger than 10^308 or so.) Previously, the approximation could
display something rather useless, like "approx. NaN", "approx. Inf",
or "approx. 0.0". This did not affect the correctness of any
calculations, but rather solely affected the user-displayed "helpful"
approximation, which sometimes wasn't helpful. In addition, an
experimental installer for the Nokia 9300 and 9500 (and other Series
80 devices) was added.

Barcode Writer in Pure Postscript
2005-03-29 (Default branch)
03/29/2005 09:16 AM
Barcode Writer in Pure Postscript implements the printing of many
barcode formats entirely within level 2 PostScript, so that the
process of converting the input string into the printed output is
performed by the printer itself. This avoids the need to re-implement
the barcode generation process whenever your language needs change.
The project supports most major barcode formats including EAN-13,
EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, ISBN, Code 128 (A, B, and C), Code 39,
Interleaved 2 of 5, Postnet, Code 2 of 5, and Codabar.
Changes:
A bug in the calculation of Code 93 barcode length
when using extended full ASCII characters was
fixed.

To make FogBugz work on Unix as well as Windows,
we needed a PHP version. Rather than do a one-time port, we built a
compiler that automatically generates a PHP version from the ASP
source code. Read all about it in today's part III

Hiring
Until now we've been hiring rarely and quietly, but lately our
sales are so strong we can't quite keep up.
My old theory of hiring was to post a job listing on Monster or
Craigslist and then sort through the massive pile of unqualified
applicants in hopes of finding the needle in the haystack.
That hasn't worked so well. In the future I'm going to try putting
up semi-permanent job
listings for all the kinds of people we might hire on the Fog
Creek website and see if that gets us a slower trickle of more
qualified job applicants.

Gadzooks, we've been busier
than ever here at Fog Creek World HQ. For some reason I thought it
would be a good idea to sell
Mike Gunderloy's (excellent) FogBugz book alongside FogBugz
itself, but since we've never shipped any physical products before,
that meant a whole lot of new code in the online store for package
tracking, shipping addresses, choose a shipping method, inventory
stuff, etc. etc., and I'm now spending too much time trying to figure
out shipping and debugging the packing slip code... the joke is on us,
because the reason we wrote our own store code in the first place was
because all of the off-the-shelf ecommerce packages were too focused
on physical delivery and didn't have any kind of mechanism for selling
downloads and licenses.
It's ok. I complain a lot but what I love about a software startup
is that when you're bored writing code, you can fool around with stuff
like the USPS web site and ordering padded envelopes.
Watch this site for a new five-part series on the process of
creating FogBugz 4.0, coming soon!

We use FogBugz extensively internally to
handle company email, and the process of using FogBugz ourselves
("eating our own dogfood") motivated us to add Bayesian spam
filtering, and a "snippets" feature to make it easy to enter common
phrases and even entire messages in replies to frequently-asked
questions.
In today's
installment of The Road to FogBugz 4.0, a look at two new features
that came out of dogfooding.
March 14, 2005
March 14, 2005
03/14/2005 05:44 PM
Apparently, the reason I was misinformed about
And and Or shortcircuiting is that
it was changed during the beta after a lot of people screamed.
A better example would have been the elimination of
Set and default properties.
Understand, please, that it's not that people mind the changes.
Change is good.
Nobody thinks the Set statement was a good thing.
I once spent a whole day in Mark Igra's office (in 1992 Mark was
the program manager for Object Basic which became VBA) begging
him to get rid of default properties and the Set
statement, kicking and screaming and using every rhetorical device at
my disposal, but the Basic team absolutely refused to do anything that
would break working code, and in those days, there was a tiny amount
of working code from Access 1.0 that already used default properties
and the Set statement, and it could not be broken.
Mark was right and I was wrong and Set remained. By the way, I'm
pretty sure default properties were Adam Bosworth's fault; I'll have
to ask him this week at the O'Reilly conference. Adam was the designer
of Access 1.0. They wanted to be able to say
recordset("fieldname") to get the value out of a
column, not recordset("fieldname").value.
But here's the thing. If you have a million line code base that's
mission critical, as many companies do, and VB suddenly changes, as it
did, you have a choice: keep using VB 6 or spend a lot of time
(=money) upgrading to VB.NET. If you keep using VB 6, eventually new
things will come out that will not be supported from VB 6, and
you'll be stuck using the yucky old VB 6 IDE until the end of time.
Already most of the big component vendors are doing all the new
components as .NET components, not OCXes.
If you spend the money to upgrade to VB.NET, well, you just spent a
lot of money to stand still. And companies don't like to spend a lot
of money to stand still, so while you're spending the money, it
probably makes sense to consider the alternatives that you can port to
that won't put you at the mercy of a single vendor and won't be as
likely to change arbitrarily in the future. So as soon as people with
large code bases start hearing that they're going to have to work to
port their apps from VB to VB.NET with WinForms, and then they start
hearing that WinForms isn't really the future, the future is
really this Avalon thing nobody has yet, they start wondering whether
it isn't time to find another development platform.
I'm heading off to California now. Remember, pizza and beer
reception on March 18th from 6:00 to 7:30 pm in Berkeley, at the
