JAugment / News: Recent posts

Ok, what happened:
first:
more sub-projects are in the CVS (still not all of them). Check them out at https://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=15852.
second:
the Javadoc in the web-site is working again.
a list of developert is accessible through the menu as someone has said he could not find my email-adress anywhere on the site
the CVS-page is in the menu.

After having all sub-projects in the CVS I'll to get some actual coding done again.

The build-system was completely redesigned
(thanks for the help of Freeman Pascal)
and now uses ant instead on a bash-script
with make. This should make all windooze-users
happy and gives us far more flexibility.

Finally with the new SearchStringParser-class
and recent debugging the mediaDB has reached
a point where it can be used. You can add files
by selecting URLs or m3us in the directory-
browser and select "index". Manual editing is
not yet supported but ID3-tags carry a lot of
information. You can use the DB to search in
a large base of mp3-files for e.g. something
Classical (genre=classic) by Vanessa Mae
(filename=*mae*). It makes the media-player
much more useful..

We have a first alpha of a xmerlin/pvmerlin-based
character-recognition for keyboardless
werable computers. Recognition works
fine but sending the characters to Swing not
yet.

We have a first alpha of a new gnutella-client
using the jTella-API.

The webbrowser just got a new, _lightweight_
and _working_ second representation.

good news everyone...
from now on legacy X/Windows-apps are no longer
a problem, as we have a brand-new VNC-client!

Now you
a) can use a scrollable virtual-screen inside
jAugment to play with all that big x/windows-apps
and
b) do not need to stop working on your windows/
*ix box when leaving the house.
Well... if you have a good display you should not
need to sit in front of that box at all any longer as
with your wearable YOU are the terminal of that box
yourself. ;)

We have a first version of a full-text-index-context.
It allows so search a large number of books
for a quote to see how it goes on.
In the near future the index will double as a
spell-checker and you will be able to search for
a book and read it. It has special support for
project-gutenberg-files and will later be able to use their indice to get meta-information about the book.

Now finally the directory-service has taken a _huge_ step
forward. We have:
1) a file-objectfactory allowing files to be represented
with the attributes name, size, and ... mime-type+content!
2) Services can have attributes showing that they can perform
an abstract action on a data-stream of a given mime-type.
This allows services to integrate into each other with
_no_ _prior_ _knowledge_ !
Imagine the text-editor editing and playing a playlist
without knowing what a playlist is. Or browsing your file-system
and viewing all images, videos, ... without the directory-browser
knowing anything about what a file is!
3) We have a constrcution kit for contexts for web/cd/... -dictionaries
and one implementartion using it to provide english<->german
-translations using the free dicts.leo.org -service
Expect more of them to come ;) so we can turn the
directory-service into a global information -universe.

We just got a pdf-viewer for viewing specs on-the-road.
It's a bit ugly and really slow as it uses adobe's
acrobat-bean but it works.

We have a small web-browser now.
A pdf-viewer will follow,

If you had problems getting the code to run in a network
with multiple registrars please download the latest version.
Most of the bugs are now fixed.

Today (besides the new calculator) a very interesting
new service arrived. We how have a telephone using
the openh323-tools for Voice-oder-IP traffic. You can
expect it to become mature within one or two days as
I want to present and use it a CCCongress
(http://www.ccc.de/congress/).

A new service allowes the MIT-Remberance-Agent
(those of you who use wearables should know it)
to be used from within jAugment. The text-editor
has been extended to use it it this service is found.

A first (stable and working) version of a new
service allowing to share a desktop with
another jAugment-user for collaboration
is released. It will be improved within the next
days but is already usable.

A first alpha of a new 3-dimensional-UI is published.
It's far from being finished but the basic do work.

As SSH finally worked we are now at http://jaugment.sourceforge.net.
(file-releases and CVS(SSH to cvs.jaugment.sourcefoege.net)
still do not work)

After serveral month with a small preliminary web-page in the
home-directory of a german student jAugment now has
this wonderfull infrastructure provided by sourceforge.net .
