The release of the Lakka 3.6 distribution has been published, which allows computers, set-top boxes, or single-board computers to be transformed into a full-fledged gaming console for running retro games. This project is a modification of the LibreELEC distribution, originally designed for creating home theater systems. Lakka builds are available for platforms such as i386, x86_64 (Intel, NVIDIA, or AMD GPUs), Raspberry Pi 1-4, Orange Pi, Cubieboard, Cubieboard2, Cubietruck, Banana Pi, Hummingboard, Cubox-i, […]
A new version of WineVDM 0.8 has been released — a compatibility layer for running 16-bit Windows applications (Windows 1.x, 2.x, 3.x) on 64-bit operating systems, translating calls from programs written for Win16 into Win32 calls. It supports binding of executable programs to WineVDM as well as functioning installers, making the user experience with 16-bit programs indistinguishable from working with 32-bit ones. The project's code […]
An unofficial build of the experimental branch of LineageOS 19.0, based on Android 12, has been formed for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B and Compute Module 4 with 2, 4, or 8 GB of RAM, as well as for the Raspberry Pi 400 all-in-one. The source code for the firmware is available on GitHub. To run Google services and applications, the OpenGApps package can be installed, but […]
The release of AlmaLinux 8.5 has been prepared, synchronized with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.5 distribution, and contains all the changes proposed in this release. Builds are prepared for x86_64 and ARM64 architectures as bootable (740 MB), minimal (2 GB), and full images (10 GB). Special system images for installation on Raspberry Pi boards have also been prepared. Additional promises will be made later to form […]
The Nebula 1.5 project release is available, offering tools for building secure overlay networks. The network can connect from a few to tens of thousands of geographically dispersed hosts hosted by different providers, creating a separate isolated network over the global network. The project is written in Go and distributed under the MIT license. It is developed by Slack, the company behind the eponymous corporate messenger. Support for work in […]
The web framework Pusa has been released, implementing a concept that shifts browser-executed frontend logic using JavaScript to the backend — managing the browser and DOM elements, as well as business logic executed on the backend. The JavaScript code executed in the browser is replaced with a universal layer, calling handlers located on the backend. The need to develop with JavaScript for the frontend is eliminated. The reference […]
Red Hat has released the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.5 distribution. Installation builds are prepared for x86_64, s390x (IBM System z), ppc64le, and Aarch64 architectures, but are available for download only to registered users of the Red Hat Customer Portal. The source code for the rpm packages of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 is distributed through the CentOS Git repository. The 8.x branch will be supported at least until 2029 […]
The CentOS project has announced the launch of a collaborative development service based on the GitLab platform. The decision to use GitLab as the primary platform for hosting CentOS and Fedora projects was made last year. Notably, the infrastructure is not hosted on their own servers, but on the service gitlab.com, where a section for CentOS-related projects is provided at gitlab.com/CentOS. […]
An alternative release of KchmViewer 8.1, a program for viewing files in chm and epub formats, is now available. This alternative branch includes some enhancements that have not made it to and are unlikely to make it to upstream. The KchmViewer program is written in C++ using the Qt library and is distributed under the GPLv3 license. This release focuses on improving the translation of the user interface (initially, the translation was working […]
Correction releases of the Samba package versions 4.15.2, 4.14.10, and 4.13.14 have been published, addressing 8 vulnerabilities, most of which could lead to complete compromise of the Active Directory domain. Notably, one of the issues had been fixed since 2016, and five since 2020; however, one fix resulted in an inability to start winbindd when the "allow trusted domains" setting was enabled […]
Following the Trojan Source attack method, which utilizes Unicode characters to alter the display order of bidirectional text, another technique for injecting hidden actions applicable to JavaScript code has been published. This new method is based on the use of the unicode character "ㅤ" (code 0x3164, "HANGUL FILLER"), which is categorized as a letter but has no visible content. The Unicode category that includes this character, […]
