Software project news and other things.

Psi libpwmd7-dev patch

I’ve updated the Psi patch to work with changes in the libpwmd7 API. You can find it here.

XChat libpwmd patch updated

I’ve ported the xchat patch to libpwmd7. You can find it here.

Pidgin libpwmd7-dev patch

I’ve made a patch for libpwmd7-dev to the Pidgin instant messenger. You can download it here..

libpwmd7-dev and application patches

I have some updated application patches for the development version of libpwmd and am getting them ready for others to test pwmd 3.0 and libpwmd 7.0 against.

This was inspired by new exim, QTM and fetchmail releases. Maybe I will even update the libpwmd6 patches, too.

Update: I’ve updated some, but not all, of the application patches for the development version of libpwmd7: fetchmail, exim mail server, and qtm. If you use these applications and also use pwmd, please test these patches.

CBoard 0.6

After a few years of inactivity, a new version of CBoard has been released. This version no longer sends SIGINT to the chess engine. It used to be that there was no problem when sending this signal. But somehow it breaks engine IO when sent.

This version also has a faster move history validator. You can download it here.

New QPwmc repository

The QPwmc GIT repository has moved from the ‘next’ branch of pwmdedit to it’s own repository.

QPwmc development

I’ve been updating qpwmc-git (in development and formally known as pwmdEdit) to use the new features of libpwmd-git and pwmd-git. I’ve added a newly published QPwmc page and also has some screenshots to show the progress.

PWMD 3.0 development

The next branch of the pwmd git repository contains what will be version 3.0 of pwmd. It has quite a few changes and enhancements along with new requirements for building. Please send feeback to the pwmd mailing list.

New Exim 4.74 patch

Version 4.74 of Exim has a few changes to how modules are built. This new libpwmd patch contains the required build fixes and also sleeps one second when looping over EPWMD_FILE_MODIFIED.

Signed-off-by: and git

I have just discovered what the Signed-off-by: line in a git commit means to most people. I assumed that it was the person who committed the commit and not necessarily the person who wrote it. This is a mistake on my part. It should be considered the person who wrote or submitted the patch. So when you see these lines in previous git commits please think of them as the Author: name and email and not mine own.
