LightBlue 0.2.2
LightBlue is a cross-platform Python Bluetooth API. more>>
Main features:
- Device and service discovery (with and without end-user GUIs)
- Standard socket interface for RFCOMM sockets
- Sending and receiving files over OBEX
- Advertising of RFCOMM and OBEX services
- Local device information
Version restrictions:
- findservices() and selectservice() on Python For Series 60 returns only RFCOMM and OBEX services
- Avoid threading on Mac OS X, as the underlying IOBluetooth and IOBluetoothUI frameworks are not thread-safe
- No cross-platform set of socket options
- Sockets (the native PyS60 API sockets are used, so their restrictions are inherited - but I havent used PyS60 1.3.8 yet so Im not sure about that)
- sockets on Python For Series 60 cannot be created in one thread and used in another
- fileno() raises NotImplementedError on Mac OS X and Python For Series 60
- timeouts not supported on Python For Series 60: settimeout() raises NotImplementedError, gettimeout() returns None
- non-blocking mode on PyS60 works for send() and recv but not accept() or connect()
- No socket options on Mac OS X, and flags arguments (e.g. for recv) have no effect
- socket security cannot be set (PyS60 implementation sets this to AUTH by default)
- Error codes for exceptions are platform-independent. In particular, the Mac OS X implementation can return IOReturn error values from the IOKit framework, and OBEXError codes from < IOBluetooth/OBEX.h > for OBEX operations.
Enhancements:
- The PyS60 3rd Edition binaries have (really) been fixed, and gethostaddr() and gethostclass() should also be fixed for PyS60 2nd Edition FP2 and FP3.
- Since its getting more difficult to build for PyS60 1st Edition, this build has been dropped for this version -- which isnt an issue for this release since there are no new features -- but there wont be any further builds for this edition. If you need to compile LightBlue for 1st Edition, feel free to email me with any issues.
- Fixed functions on Mac OS X build that wait (e.g. finddevices(), recv() for sockets) so that they dont busy-wait and hog the CPU.

Lightfeather 0.5.5
Lightfeather is a 3D engine for Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. more>>
The zlib/libpng license under which it is distributed allows you to use it for any purpose whatsoever including commercial projects without the need to redistribute your changes in any form or even mentioning that you use it (although that would be nice, of course).
To use Lightfeather you need to be proficient in c++ programming (a python binding is in the works at the moment so you might be able to use Lightfeather with python in the future). It is geared towards intermediate to professional programmers and not towards beginners.
Before you start working with Lightfeather you should AT LEAST read the Modelconverter and the Renderpasses information in the documentation submenu.
If you want to help with Lightfeathers development, there are lots of possibilities to do so. You could, for example, submit patches, contribute models for the test and example applications or write tutorials. If you want to work on the engine but dont know where to start look into the todo/request list. Help in any form is always very welcome.
Enhancements:
- It is now possible to render the same scene through different cameras into multiple windows.
- A filesystem handler interface has been added, which allows the use of a database or an FTP server like a normal filesystem.

LyX is stable and fully featured. It has been used for documents as large as a thesis, or as small as a business letter. Despite its simple GUI interface (available in many languages), it supports tables, figures, and hyperlinked cross-references, and has a best-of-breed math editor.
