  • 25 Years of Free Software

    When did I start writing Free Software, now called Open Source? That’s a tricky question. Does the time start with the first file edited, the first time it compiles or perhaps even some proto-program you use to work out a concept for the real program formed later on.

    So using the date you start writing, especially in a era before decent version control systems, is problematic. That is why I use the date of the first release of the first package as the start date. For me, that was Monday 24th July 1995.

  • psmisc 23.0

    I had to go check but it has been over 3 years since the last psmisc release back in February 2014. I really didn’t think it had been that long ago.  Anyhow, with no further delay, psmisc version 23.0 has been released today!

    Update: 23.1 is out now, removed some debug line out of killall and shipped two missing documents.

    The triggers rules editor had a problem where some of the rules clicked off the triggers would not appear or could not be edited correctly.

    Most of the Admin screens have the ability to sort the rows. This, unfortunately, didn’t sort but the functionality has been restored.

    Most users are probably unaware of this, but the database schema is first created for MySQL and is then converted for PostgreSQL. The conversi0n process is far from ideal and hasn’t worked until this release. More testing is required for PostgreSQL support but it should be a lot better.
