Rakudo compiler release 2022.06 for the Raku programming language (former Perl 6)

Submitted by

Release of Rakudo 2022.06, a compiler for the Raku programming language (formerly Perl 6), has been released. The project was renamed from Perl 6 because it did not become a continuation of Perl 5, as originally expected, but turned into a separate programming language that is not compatible with Perl 5 at the source code level and is developed by a separate development community. The compiler supports the Raku language variants described in […]

The HTTP/3.0 specification has received the status of a "Proposed Standard", after which work will begin to give the RFC the status of a draft standard (Draft […]

Panfrost driver certified OpenGL ES 3.1 compatible for Mali Valhall series GPUs

Submitted by

Collabora has announced that Khronos has certified the Panfrost graphics driver on systems with Mali GPUs based on the Valhall microarchitecture (Mali-G57). The driver has successfully passed all tests of the CTS (Khronos Conformance Test Suite) and is found to be fully compatible with the OpenGL ES 3.1 specification. Last year, a similar certification was completed for the Mali-G52 GPU based on the Bifrost microarchitecture. Getting […]

Google provided the opportunity for free production of trial batches of open chips

Submitted by

Google, in collaboration with manufacturing companies SkyWater Technology and Efabless, has launched an initiative that allows open hardware developers to make the chips they develop for free. The initiative aims to stimulate the development of open hardware, reduce the costs of developing open projects and simplify interaction with manufacturing plants. Thanks to the initiative, anyone can start developing their own custom chips without fear […]

GNUnet P2P Platform Release 0.17

Submitted by

The release of the GNUnet 0.17 framework, designed for building secure decentralized P2P networks, has been presented. Networks created using GNUnet do not have a single point of failure and are able to guarantee the inviolability of users' private information, including eliminating possible abuse by intelligence services and administrators with access to network nodes. GNUnet supports the creation of P2P networks over TCP, UDP, HTTP/HTTPS, Bluetooth and WLAN, […]

Based on Nouveau, a new driver for the Vulkan graphics API is being developed

Submitted by

Developers from Red Hat and Collabora have begun creating an open Vulkan nvk driver for NVIDIA graphics cards, which will complement the anv (Intel), radv (AMD), tu (Qualcomm) and v3dv (Broadcom VideoCore VI) drivers already available in Mesa. The driver is being developed on the basis of the Nouveau project with the use of some subsystems previously used in the Nouveau OpenGL driver. At the same time, Nouveau began […]

Another vulnerability in the Linux Netfilter kernel subsystem

Submitted by

A vulnerability (CVE-2022-1972) has been identified in the Netfilter kernel subsystem, similar to the problem disclosed at the end of May. The new vulnerability also allows a local user to gain root rights in the system through manipulation of rules in nftables and requires access to nftables to carry out the attack, which can be obtained in a separate namespace (network namespace or user namespace) with CLONE_NEWUSER rights, […]

Release of the Tails 5.1 distribution

Submitted by

The release of Tails 5.1 (The Amnesic Incognito Live System), a specialized distribution kit based on the Debian package base and designed for anonymous access to the network, has been released. Anonymous exit to Tails is provided by the Tor system. All connections, except traffic through the Tor network, are blocked by default by the packet filter. Encryption is used to store user data in the save user data between runs mode. […]

The Open SIMH project will continue to develop the SIMH simulator as a free project

Submitted by

A group of developers unhappy with the change in the license for the retrocomputer simulator SIMH founded the Open SIMH project, which will continue to develop the simulator code base under the MIT license. Decisions related to the development of Open SIMH will be collectively made by the governing council, which includes 6 participants. It is noteworthy that Robert Supnik, the original author of the […]

Paragon Software has resumed maintenance of the NTFS3 module in the Linux kernel

Submitted by

Konstantin Komarov, founder and head of Paragon Software, proposed the first corrective update of the ntfs5.19 driver for inclusion in the Linux 3 kernel. Since the inclusion of ntfs3 in the 5.15 kernel last October, the driver has not been updated and communication with the developers has been lost, leading to discussions about the need to move the NTFS3 code to the orphaned category […]
