Time	Event
9:54a	LLVM 3.4 released Version 3.4 of the LLVM compiler suite is out. "This is a big new release with a lot of features. Clang now supports all of the features in the current working draft of the upcoming C++ standard, provisionally named C++1y. The static analyzer has greatly improved C++ support, produces fewer false positives and catches more bugs. Clang also includes a few new capabilities: 1) a tool called 'clang-format' which can be used in an IDE or text editor to auto-format your code according to builtin styles, and 2) a new (experimental!) driver designed for drop-in compatibility with Visual Studio on Windows." See the release notes for more information. (Comment on this)

8:03p	Ubuntu developer builds Pirate Bay torrent search into operating system (ars technica) Ars technica takes a look at a torrent search scope for the Ubuntu Dash. "Torrent search would be added to Ubuntu's Dash, a central tool that lets users search files and applications on their desktop as well as online sources like Amazon or Wikipedia. The search tool prototype uses the Pirate Bay as a data source. It may be modified to filter out pirated content, but users can change the filters to suit their desires. It's also possible that a future version could use a different data source. Developer David Callé discussed the possibility of getting the torrents scope enabled by default in the next version of Ubuntu last month on Google+ and got a vote of support from Shuttleworth."
