The Nginx project has announced that it is migrating its development from the Mercurial version control system to Git, moving its official repository to GitHub, and using the GitHub Issues and GitHub Discussions platforms to replace the trac.nginx.org issue tracker and mailing list discussions. The move to GitHub is expected to simplify community engagement and attract third-party developers to the project. For […]
The release of the Rust 1.81 general-purpose programming language, founded by the Mozilla project, but now developed under the auspices of the independent non-profit organization Rust Foundation, has been published. The language focuses on memory safety and provides the means to achieve high job parallelism while avoiding the use of a garbage collector and runtime (runtime is reduced to basic initialization and maintenance of the standard library). […]
The experimental release of the open source implementation of the Win32 API, Wine 9.17, has been published. Since the release of 9.16, 29 bug reports have been closed and 206 changes have been made. The most important changes are: Support for scaling the surface of windows on screens with high pixel density (High DPI) has been implemented. The built-in Vkd3d package with the implementation of Direct3D 12 has been updated to version 1.13. The Wine Mono engine with […]
Security researchers from NinjaLab have developed a side-channel attack technique that allows cloning ECDSA keys stored in YubiKey 5 cryptographic tokens and other devices that use Infineon's cryptographic library. The attack, codenamed EUCLEAK, can be applied to many other microcontroller-based systems in addition to tokens with Infineon SLE78 chips, such as the YubiKey 5 […]
The creator of the original Adelie distribution Linux, which uses the standard C library Musl, the OpenRC init system, and the APK package manager, announced the successful porting of the system manager systemd to work with the Musl library. Although the implementation is still in development, it is already quite stable and demonstrates a threefold reduction in boot time compared to OpenRC. systemd initially supports […]
Alpha version 0.70.0 of the Medal of Honor open engine, OpenMoHAA, has been released. The goal of the project is to make a cross-platform open source engine that is fully compatible with the original Medal of Honor. The OpenMoHAA project is based on the ioquake3 source code, as the original Medal of Honor used the Id Tech 3 engine (i.e. the engine from Quake 3) as a base. What […]
The release of Q4OS 5.6 distribution, based on the package base, has been published Debian and comes with the KDE Plasma 5 and Trinity desktops (continuing development of the KDE 3.5.x codebase). Both user environments can coexist on the same system, and the user can switch between them. The distribution is positioned as being lightweight and offering a classic desktop experience. Size […]
A Fedora developer working at Red Hat has introduced the SyncStar toolkit, which allows you to deploy services for organizing the recording of operating systems of the user's choice onto USB drives. The main purpose of SyncStar is called the creation of kiosks and information stands that can be used during technical conferences and exhibitions to record bootable assemblies of various operating systems onto USB drives of event participants. The project code is written […]
The release of the QEMU 9.1 project is presented. As an emulator, QEMU allows you to run a program built for one hardware platform on a system with a completely different architecture, for example, run an ARM application on an x86-compatible PC. In the virtualization mode in QEMU, the performance of code execution in an isolated environment is close to a hardware system due to the direct execution of instructions on the CPU and […]
Ergo Framework is an implementation of ideas, technologies and design patterns from the Erlang world in the Go programming language. It is built on an actor model, network transparency and a set of ready-made components for development. This significantly simplifies the creation of complex and distributed solutions, while ensuring a high level of reliability and performance. This version marks an important stage in the development of Ergo […]
After a month of development, version 14.0.7 of the full-text search engine and columnar database management system Groonga, written in C and C++ and distributed under the GNU LGPL 2.1 license, has been released. The project provides a library and console utilities. Related projects include Mroonga and PGroonga, which integrate Groonga into MySQL and PostgreSQL, respectively. List of changes: the normalizer […]
