Psi 0.10 / 0.11 RC2
Psi is a program for connecting to the Jabber messaging network. more>>
Psi is the premiere Instant Messaging application designed for Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS X and GNU/Linux. Built upon an open protocol named Jabber, Psi is a fast and lightweight messaging client that utilises the best in open source technologies.
The goal of the Psi project is to create a powerful, yet easy-to-use Jabber/XMPP client that tries to strictly adhere to the XMPP drafts.and Jabber JEPs. This means that in most cases, Psi will not implement a feature unless there is an accepted standard for it in the Jabber community. Doing so ensures that Psi will be compatible, stable, and predictable, both from an end-user and developer standpoint.
This does not mean that Psi will never have "cool new features". The dev team and community are power-users who look to Psi to keep up with the times. We always want to hear what the users of Psi would like, and if a feature that the dev team wishes to implement does not have an accepted standard, or would diverge from an existing one, we can work together to see the standards changed to accomodate everyone.
Perhaps you have been considering Jabber, but dont want to abandon your friends? Jabber technologies are highly extensible, so Psi is able to interoperate with other, proprietory messaging systems such as AOLs ICQ and Microsofts Messenger. You can keep in contact with your friends, regardless of whether they use AIM, ICQ, MSNM or YahooM. Its even possible to use Internet Relay Chat! *
Unlike other IM clients, Psi is small, fast and responsive. It uses a graphical toolkit called Qt, which takes on the appearance of whichever operating system you run it on. For this reason, Psi doesnt use skins. Wed rather it blend with your desktop like any other application.
Psi has full support for Unicode. Unicode allows Psi to send and receive messages in other languages, even ones that arent based upon the English letterset. In fact, you are able to use Psi in your choice of eight different languages, with more on the way!
Cross-platform compatibility is important to the Psi development team; we believe that you should be able to use whichever operating system you wish. In keeping with this belief, we have a version for each of the three major OSs. The images on this page show Psi running on Microsoft Windows XP, Apple MacOS X and GNU/Linux/KDE3.
Whats New in 0.10 Stable Release:
- The default text input line in the chat dialogs starts at one line tall, and grows as necessary.
- The Roster can now be automatically resized to fit all contacts.
- The menu bar is now available on the roster.
- Tabbed chat windows were implemented.
- On Windows and Mac OS X, selected text may be automatically copied to the clipboard.
- Mac OS X builds now enjoy Growl(.info) support.
- Photos are now available in the VCard dialog.
- Roster and chat dialog now support transparency.
- GPG passphrases are now cached during the entire Psi session.

RSSOwl | RSS / RDF / Atom Newsreader - RSSOwl is a free RSS / RDF / Atom Newsreader written in Java using SWT as graphic library.
RSS ("Really Simple Syndication" or "Rich Site Summary") is a document specification
that gives users the power to collect and organize Web-based news and information in
a more efficient manner. Applications that collect data from RSS-compliant sites are
called RSS readers or "aggregators". RSSOwl is such an application. It lets you gather,
organize, update, and store information from any compliant source in a convenient, easy
to use interface, save selected information in various formats for offline viewing and
sharing, and much more.
Why "Owl"? The owl is a traditional symbol of wisdom, and a quiet, efficient hunter. Youll find
RSSOwls "big eyes" a big help when scanning the Webs vast array of RSS resources.
Top12 Features why you should use RSSOwl:
o High performance and native Look and Feel that uses the operation-system GUI theme
o Great platform support: Use RSSOwl on Windows, Linux, Mac, Solaris
o Import/Export newsfeeds with OPML (Outline Processor Markup Language)

Enhancements:
Version 1.2.4
The RSSOwl Team is happy to announce that RSSOwl 1.2.4 is now available for download. Among minor new features and a couple of bugfixes, this release comes with better support for Windows Vista, the ability to use Mozilla as embedded Browser on Windows and some improvements to the embedded Browser on Mac OS X. See the changelog for a complete list of changes.
For a detailed list of changes that also include a lot of bugfixes, take a look at the changelog at http://www.rssowl.org/CHANGELOG.txt.
If you want to benefit from many new cool features, you should give RSSOwl 2 a try. Its currently in beta stadium but already fully functional. Visit http://boreal.rssowl.org for more details.
May the Owl be with you,
Ben
Version 1.1.2
We are happy to announce the second bugfix-release for the 1.1 branch. With an update to the latest SWT
version, two of the most annoying Browser bugs on windows got fixed. Say goodbye to the dialog that kept
popping up, in case the visited webpage contained erroneous JavaScript. The other bugfix helps for Blogs
that show images in their Newsitems. In some cases, RSSOwl showed just a blank, empty page when clicking
on one of these.
On the feature side, RSSOwl 1.1.2 is bringing two new update intervals: 30 Minutes and 6 Hours.
In addition it is now possible to hide the small Toolbar that is placed in the Favorites Tree by accessing
its context-menu and unchecking the "Toolbar" entry.
See the Changelog at http://www.rssowl.org/CHANGELOG.txt for a complete list of changes.
May the Owl be with you,
Ben

Mac::PropertyList 1.29
Mac::PropertyList is a Perl module to work with Mac plists at a low level. more>>
SYNOPSIS
use Mac::PropertyList;
my $data = parse_plist( $text );
# == OR ==
my $data = parse_plist_file( $filename );
# == OR ==
open my( $fh ), $filename or die "...";
my $data = parse_plist_fh( $fh );
my $text = plist_as_string( $data );
my $plist = create_from_hash( %hash );
my $plist = create_from_array( @array );
my $plist = Mac::PropertyList::dict->new( %hash );
This module is a low-level interface to the Mac OS X Property List (plist) format. You probably shouldnt use this in applications---build interfaces on top of this so you dont have to put all the heinous multi-level object stuff where people have to look at it.
You can parse a plist file and get back a data structure. You can take that data structure and get back the plist as XML. If you want to change the structure inbetween thats your business.
You dont need to be on Mac OS X to use this. It simply parses and manipulates a text format that Mac OS X uses.
Enhancements:
- Perl

DateTime::Format::Epoch::MacOS 0.10
DateTime::Format::Epoch::MacOS is a Perl module that can convert DateTimes to/from Mac OS epoch seconds. more>>
SYNOPSIS
use DateTime::Format::Epoch::MacOS;
my $dt = DateTime::Format::Epoch::MacOS->parse_datetime( 1051488000 );
DateTime::Format::Epoch::MacOS->format_datetime($dt);
# 1051488000
my $formatter = DateTime::Format::Epoch::MacOS->new();
my $dt2 = $formatter->parse_datetime( 1051488000 );
$formatter->format_datetime($dt2);
# 1051488000
This module can convert a DateTime object (or any object that can be converted to a DateTime object) to the number of seconds since the Mac OS epoch.
Note that the Mac OS epoch is defined in the local time zone. This means that these two pieces of code will print the same number of seconds, even though they represent two datetimes 6 hours apart:
$dt = DateTime->new( year => 2003, month => 5, day => 2,
time_zone => Europe/Amsterdam );
print $formatter->format_datetime($dt);
$dt = DateTime->new( year => 2003, month => 5, day => 2,
time_zone => America/Chicago );
print $formatter->format_datetime($dt);
Mac OS X is a Unix system, and uses the Unix epoch (1970-01-01T00:00:00). Use DateTime::Format::Epoch::Unix instead.
QSvn 0.5.0
QSvn is a graphical Subversion Client for Linux, UNIX, Windows and Mac OS X. more>>
QSvn project is in an early phase so we dont have any contents for this site and dont have released one version of QSvn.
File::Spec::Mac 3.25
File::Spec::Mac Perl module contains File::Spec for Mac OS (Classic). more>>
SYNOPSIS
require File::Spec::Mac; # Done internally by File::Spec if needed
Methods for manipulating file specifications.
METHODS
canonpath
On Mac OS, theres nothing to be done. Returns what its given.
catdir()
Concatenate two or more directory names to form a path separated by colons (":") ending with a directory. Resulting paths are relative by default, but can be forced to be absolute (but avoid this, see below). Automatically puts a trailing ":" on the end of the complete path, because thats whats done in MacPerls environment and helps to distinguish a file path from a directory path.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Beginning with version 1.3 of this module, the resulting path is relative by default and not absolute. This decision was made due to portability reasons. Since File::Spec->catdir() returns relative paths on all other operating systems, it will now also follow this convention on Mac OS. Note that this may break some existing scripts.
The intended purpose of this routine is to concatenate directory names. But because of the nature of Macintosh paths, some additional possibilities are allowed to make using this routine give reasonable results for some common situations. In other words, you are also allowed to concatenate paths instead of directory names (strictly speaking, a string like ":a" is a path, but not a name, since it contains a punctuation character ":").
So, beside calls like
catdir("a") = ":a:"
catdir("a","b") = ":a:b:"
catdir() = "" (special case)
calls like the following
catdir(":a:") = ":a:"
catdir(":a","b") = ":a:b:"
catdir(":a:","b") = ":a:b:"
catdir(":a:",":b:") = ":a:b:"
catdir(":") = ":"
are allowed.
Murrina-Brown 0.1
Murrina-Brown 0.1 is yet another great addition for Gnome users. It is actually a port of Mac OS X theme, Muku v1.2. The dock on the bottom is avant-window-navigator more>>
Mac::EyeTV 0.30
Mac::EyeTV is a interface to the Elgato EyeTV Digital Video Recorder. more>>
SYNOPSIS
use Mac::EyeTV;
my $eyetv = Mac::EyeTV->new();
# See Mac::EyeTV::Channel
foreach my $channel ($eyetv->channels) {
my $name = $channel->name;
my $number = $channel->number;
print "$number $namen";
}
# See Mac::EyeTV::Programme
foreach my $programme ($eyetv->programmes) {
my $start = $programme->start;
my $stop = $programme->stop;
my $title = $programme->title;
print "$title $start - $stopn";
}
This module allows you to interface to the Elgato EyeTV Digital Video Recorder. EyeTV is a piece of software and hardware for Mac OS X which can record and play back television much like a Tivo. This module allows you to interface to the EyeTV software, view the channel list and the recorded programmes and schedule recordings.
See Mac::EyeTV::Programme for information on scheduling a recording.
You should create Mac::Glue bindings to EyeTV before using this (along the lines of sudo gluemac EyeTV).
The EyeTV software itself is available from Elgato Systems at http://www.elgato.com/index.php?file=support_updates_eyetv
