Sun released Logical Domains (LDoms) 1.3.

Logical Domains (LDoms) technology allows a user to allocate a system’s various resources, such as CPU, memory, and IO into logical groupings or domains. This enables one to create multiple discrete systems, each with their own operating system, resources, and identity within a single physical computer system.

Highlights in this release

  • Support for link-based IPMP.
  • Support for migration of domains that have cryptographic units. 
  • Support for CPU dynamic resource management.
  • Support for automated migrations. 
  • Support for the hostid and mac-addr properties by the ldm set-domain command.
  •  Support for memory compression that improves migration performance.
  •  Support for autosave XML interfaces.
  • Support for booting from a disk that is larger than 1 terabyte.
  • Bug Fixes

Adobe released Pixel Blender 1.5.1.

Adobe Pixel Bender technology delivers a common image and video processing infrastructure which provides automatic runtime optimization on heterogeneous hardware. You can use the Pixel Bender kernel language to implement image processing algorithms (filters or effects) in a hardware-independent manner. The Pixel Bender graph language is an XML-based language for combining individual pixel-processing operations (kernels) into more complex Pixel Bender filters.

The Pixel Bender Plug-in adheres to the same system requirements as Photoshop CS4 on Mac OS and Windows.

WordPress 2.9 released

Published on 19 December, 2009 in Software releases. 0 Comments Tags: , , , , , , , , , .

WordPress 2.9 codename “Carmen” has been released.

Most important new features in this release:

  • Global undo/”trash” feature, which means that if you accidentally delete a post or comment you can bring it back from the grave (i.e., the Trash). This also eliminates those annoying “are you sure” messages we used to have on every delete.
  • Built-in image editor allows you to crop, edit, rotate, flip, and scale your images to show them who’s boss. This is the first wave of our many planned media-handling improvements.
  • Batch plugin update and compatibility checking, which means you can update 10 plugins at once, versus having to do multiple clicks for each one, and we’re using the new compatibility data from the plugins directory to give you a better idea of whether your plugins are compatible with new releases of WordPress. This should take the fear and hassle out of upgrading.
  • Easier video embeds that allow you to just paste a URL on its own line and have it magically turn it into the proper embed code, with Oembed support for YouTube, Daily Motion, Blip.tv, Flickr, Hulu, Viddler, Qik, Revision3, Scribd, Google Video, Photobucket, PollDaddy, and WordPress.tv (and more in the next release).
