Intel develops new open firmware architecture Universal Scalable Firmware

Submitted by

Intel is developing a new firmware architecture, Universal Scalable Firmware (USF), aimed at simplifying the development of all components of the firmware software stack for various categories of devices, from servers to systems on a chip (SoC). USF provides layers of abstraction that allow you to separate the low-level hardware initialization logic from the platform components responsible for configuration, firmware updates, security, and booting the operating system. […]

In the main branch of Python, the ability to build to work in the browser

Submitted by

Ethan Smith, one of the main developers of MyPyC, a compiler of Python modules into C code, announced the addition of changes to the CPython codebase (the base implementation of Python) that allows you to build the main CPython branch to work inside the browser without resorting to additional patches. Assembly is carried out into universal low-level intermediate code WebAssembly using the Emscripten compiler. Job […]

QOI image compression format introduced

Submitted by

A new lightweight, lossless image compression format has been introduced - QOI (Quite OK Image), which allows you to very quickly compress images in the RGB and RGBA color spaces. When comparing performance with the PNG format, the single-threaded reference implementation of the QOI format in C, which does not use SIMD instructions and assembly optimizations, is 20-50 times faster in encoding speed than the libpng and stb_image libraries, […]

SQLite 3.37 release

Submitted by

The release of SQLite 3.37, a lightweight DBMS designed as a plug-in library, has been published. The SQLite code is distributed as a public domain, i.e. may be used without restrictions and free of charge for any purpose. Financial support for SQLite developers is provided by a specially created consortium, which includes companies such as Adobe, Oracle, Mozilla, Bentley and Bloomberg.

Release of PostgREST 9.0.0, add-ons for turning a database into a RESTful API

Submitted by

The release of PostgREST 9.0.0 took place, a separately operating web server with the implementation of a lightweight add-on to the PostgreSQL DBMS, translating objects from an existing database into a RESTful API. Instead of mapping relational data into objects (ORMs), PostgREST creates views directly in the database. The database side also handles serialization of JSON responses, data validation, and authorization. The system performance is sufficient to process [...]

Vulnerability in the firmware of MediaTek DSP chips used in many smartphones

Submitted by

Researchers from Checkpoint have identified three vulnerabilities (CVE-2021-0661, CVE-2021-0662, CVE-2021-0663) in the firmware of MediaTek DSP chips, as well as a vulnerability in the MediaTek Audio HAL audio processing layer (CVE-2021- 0673). If the vulnerabilities are successfully exploited, an attacker can eavesdrop on a user from an unprivileged application for the Android platform. In 2021, MediaTek accounts for approximately 37% of specialized […]

Release of GhostBSD 21.11.24

Submitted by

The release of the desktop-oriented distribution GhostBSD 21.11.24, built on the basis of FreeBSD 13-STABLE and offering the MATE user environment, has been published. By default, GhostBSD uses the ZFS file system. Both work in Live mode and installation on a hard drive are supported (using its own ginstall installer, written in Python).

Venus is a virtual GPU for QEMU and KVM based on the Vukan API

Submitted by

Collabora has introduced the Venus driver, which offers a virtual GPU (VirtIO-GPU) based on the Vukan graphics API. Venus is similar to the previously available VirGL driver, implemented on top of the OpenGL API, and also allows each guest to be provided with a virtual GPU for 3D rendering, without giving exclusive direct access to the physical GPU. The Venus code is already included with Mesa and ships starting […]

Release of the Archinstall 2.3.0 installer used in the Arch Linux distribution

Submitted by

The release of the Archinstall 2.3.0 installer has been published, which since April has been included as an option in Arch Linux installation iso images.
