nftables 0.4 released
For those of you following the development of nftables (the virtual-machine-based eventual replacement for iptables) version 0.4 of the
user-space nftables utility is out. It provides access to a lot
of new features, including global ruleset operations, improved logging

The Open Source Initiative's 2014 annual report The Open Source Initiative has posted its annual report
for 2014 [PDF] describing its efforts to increase its relevance. " In that context, 2014 was a turning point for OSI. Our decision to
hire a General Manager started to bear fruit both in the form of a growing
membership and of heightened activity. We saw news from new Affiliates
appearing daily, profiles of individual members inspiring us through the
newsletter and both categories of members bringing forward new ideas like
the curriculum for further education and the hosting of OpenHatch. We also
saw more corporate sponsors than ever before generously offering funds to
support our growth. That meant we had the resources both to promote open
source and to challenge abuses of the term around the world." | | 7:08p |
Harmer: Overview of Qt3D 2.0 – Part 1 Sean Harmer covers the revival of Qt3D, a 3D framework. " With OpenGL taking a much more prominent position in Qt 5’s graphical stack — OpenGL is the underpinning of Qt Quick 2’s rendering power — and with OpenGL becoming a much more common part of customer projects, KDAB decided that it would be good for us and for the Qt community at large if we took over maintainership and development of the Qt3D module. To this end, several KDAB engineers have been working hard to bring Qt3D back to life and moreover to make it competitive to other modern 3D frameworks.
This article is the first in a series that will cover the capabilities, APIs, and implementation of Qt3D in detail." | | 9:23p |
Trinity Desktop Environment R14.0.0 Released The Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) development team has announced
the release of TDE R14.0.0. " Unlike previous releases TDE R14.0.0 has been in development for over two years. This extended development period has allowed us to create a better, more stable and more feature-rich product than previous TDE releases. R14 is brimming with new features, such as a new hardware manager based on udev (HAL is no longer required), full network-manager 0.9 support, a brand new compositor (compton), built-in threading support, and much more!" | | 11:35p |
