Lightspark 0.4.2.3 bug fix release
Posted by Alessandro Pignotti in Lightspark on August 4, 2010
Just a brief announcement for release 0.4.2.3 of the Lightspark project, the modern, open source flash player
This release will not show off huge user visible changing but fixes a number of stability problems, give it a try.
The current focus of development is testing lightspark’s VM against the ActionScript testsuite provided by tamarin. In the meanwhile I’ve also found a way to reduce lightspark memory consumption while increasing performances, but the solution is not stable yet for prime time.
Stay tuned.
Picking windows
Posted by Luca Invernizzi in Ubuntu on May 4, 2009
The Window Picker Applet is an GNOME applet (developed at Canonical) that displays the list of running applications and allows you to switch between them. It’s a default applet in Ubuntu-netbook-remix, since on netbooks the screen real estate is essential.
It’s a nice little applet, but unfortunately does not work well with vertical panels, since it tries to display the icon list of the running applications horizontally (see this bug). I’ve developed a patch to window-picker-applet-0.4.22 that solves this issue.
To use it, do as follows:
apt-get source window-picker-applet cd window-picker-applet-0.4.22 patch -p1 < $PATH_TO_THE_PATCH_FILE |
and then the usual:
./configure cd src && make && sudo make install killall gnome-panel |
Note that this patch *needs* gnome-panel to be restarted, since the panel orientation is chosen at initialization (I’ve not implemented yet the orientation change during execution).
Download the patch from here.
