Perlbox Voice 0.09 has just been released. Due to multiple requests, this release features the ability to start Perlbox-Voice with or without the graphical user interface. Additionally, an option was added to run perlbox-voice with minimal printing to the screen.
These options can be used together to run perlbox-voice in a headless type mode. Type 'perlbox-voice --help' to see the list of available options:
perlbox-voice --help
Options:
--nogui :No graphical user interface
--silent :Minimal printing

This release adds magic word functionality and is a complete rewrite of the voice response system. Also, this marks the first release with the new package management installer (EPM). We are moving closer to version 1.0.

Thanks to a patch by Nick Ing-Simmons, the creator of Perl Tk, we are now compatable with Tk. There are also some changes to the graphical installer, in that it now works:) Get it while it is hot!

The newest version of Perlbox-Voice has desktop plugins! You can control you desktop using your voice! Switch virtual desktops, rotate your wallpaper and more. It is easy to extend too. Have fun with it!

Added automatic listener restart on new lm, changed versioning numbers and so forth

Just released an rpm and the sources (with install script) for perlbox-voice. This should take care of some of the problems.

The web site has been redone, again. Check it out at http://perlbox.sourceforge.net. I will be changing the perlbox.org name servers to point there in a day or so.

The old list perlbox-devel is deleted, we will now use perlbox-devel as our main list for general perlbox development issues.

Uploaded the 0.1.5 version of perlbox-desktop to the sourceforge site.

In our latest release, perlbox0.0.1, we have included a new graphical installer. It is very statble and robust, with several configuration options.
