Hey. I haven't been on this project in a while, mainly because a lot of the code in it needs badly to be rewritten from scratch. I'd like to make an update on the status and goal of this project though. The most successful part of this project, Pak, is now officially moved to the PakNet project ( http://sf.net/projects/paknet ). This project will become its sister project, creating code that will link with the code produced in that project. In other words, while the PakNet project creates the network that forms the back end of the coming information society, Project Sakura will create the UI code necessary to interface the PakNet UI systems with the desktop environment within which it will be embedded. The goal of this project has not changed very much. Only the details of orientation have changed. We are still creating a Knowledge Navigator-based desktop environment, and it will still be the same in its focus on HyperMedia and visualization. Only the names and organizations have changed. Accordingly, we will essentially start fresh. Sakura, and most libs, will be rewritten from scratch to accomodate new capabilities of Python and the PakNet software. Thank you for your continuing support. ~John Ohno
Pak version 0.04 has been released. This version adds a number of new features, including a platform-independent binary data mode, a header card (storing data like pak version, data mode, application, and index), and an unpack option (for reconstructing files out of card data). This release promises to be even better than the last one in terms of increased possibilities. Link: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=133637&package_id=163259&release_id=385151
Pak Changelog 9 September, 2005: - Pak 0.01 released 31 October, 2005: - Commented out final except clause, thereby allowing python errors. - Changed the compile() to eval() in line 51 ( create() ), thus making Pak properly change the string into a dictionary. - Swapped the "infile" filename with its handle in line 111 ( main() ), thusly allowing pickle to load the contents of the file. - Changed a print statement to a conditional print/file output in main(), so that the dumped pak code can be outputted to a file. - Released Pak 0.02 30 December, 2005: - Changed format to allow index positions for link targets - Added get_link_data and get_offset_links functions - Added PAK_VERSION variable - Removed doc/ and stuck files from there in main dir - Fixed linking and installation directory detection in install.sh - Released Pak 0.03 12 January, 2006: - Added pak header - Added unpack operation - Added binary mode - Added documentation for get_offset_links function - Added -v option - Fixed mismatched type problem (string to int) in get_link - Released Pak 0.04

Hey guys, I just released version 0.03 of Pak. In case you didn't know, Pak is a HyperMedia Card Stack format, and a library in Python for said format. This new version includes a number of new features, including the ability to link to a specific slice of a card and some useful wrappers and utility functions to help applications grab their share of data from the links. Check it out. Link: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=133637&package_id=163259&release_id=381759
