Announcement: Hudson 3.3.0 is now available

The Hudson team are happy to announce the general availability of Hudson 3.3.0 which can now be downloaded from the Hudson Download page.
This is a significant release for Hudson users as it marks a move to Java 7 as the baseline version of Java that must be used to run Hudson itself. You can of course still use older versions of Java as tools for compilation within your jobs though.
Before upgrading to this release please make sure that your application server (if not using the embedded Jetty server) is running on top of Java 7 or Java 8.
If you cannot upgrade to Java 7 at this time, then you will have to remain on Hudson 3.2.2 which is still available for download. Note, however, that all future versions of Hudson will also require at least Java 7 and we intend to move onto a Java 8 backbone within the next few releases.
As well as the Java baseline upgrade, this release also upgrades several core 3rd partly libraries used by Hudson to newer and more secure versions. Details of these library changes are available on the changelog.
As usual, please report any issues via Bugzilla.

I saw this warning in the content area API home page.
Warning - The Content Area APIs available in 3.0.8.x and 3.0.9.x will not work with Oracle9iAS Portal 9.0.2. They are not available with this release

RE: Announcement: iTunes 7.4.2 is now available?

Hi!
After a terrible blunder this morning, and not being able to remove ones remarks; one can only offer a 'Mea maxima culpa' and hope it is accepted.
Nevertheless, I wanted to understand why I ought to download this update.
I’ve spent a small fortune in music, audiobooks, TV shows, and movies from iTunes. As the message to update has a near threatening tone, to lose everything I currently own simply because iTunes 7.4.2 may not work on my computer is not a position I want to be in. It's difficult for me to 'Track answers" as I am dealing with end of life issues, but I'll try to track back when I can.
Be that as it may, I am going to repost my still unanswered questions from the thread: iTunes 7.3: What's new?
Hi!
I must say, all of this new technology sounds wonderful. However - oh yes, I forgot to say there is a 'However' - I don't have, or intend to buy a iPhone, or iPod now or in the foreseeable future.
In view of the fact that I am terminally ill with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) and in the final stages of cancer as well, I am unable to write, or correspond with anyone. Thus, I would have no reason to send photographs to anyone over an iPhone I don’t own. I don't mind sharing music or TV Shows, Podcasts, and so forth, with my caregiver, but that's as far as sharing goes in my home.
It is an odd situation you know, when one is in the final stages of life, family and friends seem to disappear rather quickly - that’s been my experience anyway. Oh what shall I do?
It remains for me to mention, there is not one aspect of iTunes I do not understand. The program is simplistic to the point of dullness. Believe me I have plenty of time on my hands to quickly learn such programs.
I must state, though, I'm not interested in High Definition anything. Any TV show I might download, I watch once or twice, and then I file it away on an external drive. Moreover, I was a studio engineer before I got ill, and I'm able to remaster any music download, disc, or album I want.
This brings me to another issue. As a Windows user, when I save music files to a CD-R, Windows turns that music file into an MPEG Layer 3 file, not a data file - though I can do that also. I then delete the useless MPEG-4 Audio Files, or store them on my external drive, especially since I take no pleasure in creating iMix’s. Therefore, I save every download from iTunes in one way or another.
Still, as my iTunes library is filled with MPEG Layer 3 files, nothing in my library would be replaced with high quality, DRM free files of any kind. Perhaps my MPEG-4 Audio audiobooks, and a few TV shows might be replaced, although I doubt it. Also, my music files have a much higher bit rate and sample rate than iTunes MPEG-4 Audio files. In fact, my audio files are 'lossless'. If they are not, I can make them so.
The music in my iTunes library is more important to me than any other files in it. Hence, as a consumer who does not own an iPhone, or iPod, I see no reason to download this update. If the program ran my wheelchair I might take a chance with it.
Be that as it may, I don’t understand why it is we think the latest iTunes program is 'always' the best. Indeed, I have found the opposite. That is, sometimes new doesn’t always mean better for everyone.
Therefore, 'What's New' gives me no reason to upgrade to iTunes 7.4.
Be well

Plain and simple, iTunes 7 is crap. I upgraded - may I should say downgraded with how it works - to 7.0.1 and it crashed as soon as I pressed the play button. Really giving a lot of thought to going back to 6.0.5.
jharkin and mpacific, I turned gapless playback off. It did lessen the number of crashes I have now. If you turn on crossfade playback only albums set for gapless playback will use the feature. Maybe you have already tried this...
Really what is the point to gapless playback? We already have "join CD tracks" so why do we need gapless playback? Hmm...maybe I'm missing something.
All this iTunes 7 crap really stinks. I feel like I'm stuck in a bad dream, dealing with Microsoft and can't wake up.

[ANNOUNCE] MyFaces 1.0.9(m9) is now available

From the MyFaces website (http://myfaces.apache.org) ...
MyFaces 1.0.9(m9) is now available. The (m9) stands for milestone 9. The license agreement covering JSF and all other JCP based specifications require that we use this terminology and avoid the word "final." Once MyFaces passes the TCK we will be able to refer to our releases as final. This is one of the reasons why we initially pulled the release announcement from the website a few days ago. But the release is official now and is available through your nearest Apache mirror. Enjoy!

Searching for "facelets" at http://www.mail-archive.com/users%40myfaces.apache.org/ gives 24 hits. On the myfaces-user mailing list that stuff has been discussed already. And more help might also be available there...

Announcement : New SPS Patch Release (v 6.0.3) Now Available

A newer release of Service Provisioning System (version 6.0.3) is now available for download on sunsolve
The Release Notes for this release are available here and is a good place to start.
{color:#0000ff}*You are strongly encouraged to go through the Release Notes AND the README instructions of all the patches thoroughly before starting your patch installations.*{color}
The following are the key changes that were incorporated in this release.
1) A fix in the SPS transport layer code was implemented to provide performance optimization of deployment jobs over a raw, SSH or SSL connection. Specifically, customers using an SSL connection between MS and the RA/LD nodes can observe noticeable performance improvements while deploying large payloads.
2) A fix was also added to correct the default database encoding for customers who want to use extended ASCII character sets. This would not only facilitate clean database migration between 5.2 to 6.0 of any UTF-8 characters, but also ensure data integrity on fresh 6.0 installation. It's strongly recommended that customers take necessary steps to apply this fix on their SPS 6.0 installations.
3) Certain GUI related bugs were fixed and some missing functionality was added back.
4) It is to be noted that this is a cumulative patch on top of the earlier patch release version 6.0.2. Hence all the bug fixes that were delivered with the 6.0.2 patch are also accumulated into the 6.0.3 patch
5) Response time of GUI login validation has been improved.

another option would be to make either the n1sps export not writing explicit end tags
<element />
instead of
<element></element>
or
making the import / schema a bit less sensitive about whitespace within elements. The current bug, that you cannot export the xml, reformat in netBeans and then re-import is extremely annoying.

You must install this patch release over an Oracle9iAS 1.0.2.2 installation of Oracle9iAS Portal. You can install it over either a production installation (3.0.9.8.0) or a patched installation (3.0.9.8.1, 3.0.9.8.2). This patch release is cumulative and it incorporates the changes from the earlier patches (3.0.9.8.1, 3.0.9.8.2). The installation instructions are in README.TXT and RELNOTES.HTM contained in the patch release.
The patch will be available for other platforms by the end of May.

Hi!
For Linux x64, you can download the R25.2.0 version now. The reason it wasn't made available at the time we released R25.2.0 was because the testing on RHEL 4.0 QU1 wasn't finished. We updated the page a couple of weeks later when the testing was done.

ANN: MEI Portico Version 2.0 for Adobe Digital Publishing Suite Now Available

Jenkintown, PA (November 28, 2012) — Managing Editor Inc. (MEI) today announced MEI Portico™ version 2.0, the latest in the premier Adobe® development partner's lineup of solutions for publishers. The new version of MEI's custom storefront software for tablets was built to empower Adobe Digital Publishing Suite™ customers and is now available for purchase.
MEI Portico lets publishers create custom branded UIs for their mobile and tablet apps on Apple, Google Android, and Amazon Kindle Fire platforms. Custom storefronts enable multiple gateways for showcasing user-targeted tablet content within the app. App administrators can enable search capabilities and organize their DPS folios as they see fit, so that navigation is easy and readers can effortlessly find the issues they want or are entitled to. Portico allows publishers to override in-app purchases for authenticated subscribers, and enables restricted distribution capabilities for corporate and educational institutions using Adobe DPS as part of their digital communications strategy.
MEI Portico 2.0 introduces custom canvases to the original Portico toolbox. Rather than having to rely on templates for their storefronts landing view, designers can now create their own HTML designs to incorporate into an MEI Portico-driven interface. Using web design skills, designers have full control over every aspect of their apps look and feel — from storefront layout to images, login pages to RSS or social media feeds, subscriber views to featured folios. And because administrators can launch canvases at a moments notice, implementing new features into your app can be completed without a time consuming app update.
"Custom canvases mean that DPS apps can take advantage of Porticos robust feature set without compromising their brands look and feel," said Brett Kizner, MEI's director of new product marketing. "Portico 2.0 has delivered greater flexibility with the ability for our customers to design their own app experience on their app landing page."

Photoshop CC 2014.1 update now available

The Photoshop CC 2014.1 update now available.
Today we are releasing an update to Photoshop CC that includes new 3D printing features and enhancements designed to make it easier to create beautiful 3D printed designs and give you more printing options.
For more details on the release, see this announcement on the Photoshop team blog:http://blogs.adobe.com/photoshopdotco...
The update also includes several fixes, including fixing an issue with Edit In Photoshop not working from Lightroom and Photoshop commands missing from Bridge Tools menu.
Getting the update:
Look for the update in the Creative Cloud application and click “Update”. If it doesn’t appear, you may need to quit and re-launch the Creative Cloud application.
If you don’t have the Creative Cloud application running, start Photoshop and choose Help > Updates.
The Adobe Application Manager will launch. Select Adobe Photoshop CC (2014) and choose Update.

After some search, I found this clear part of the logs:
09/27/14 16:55:25:234 | [INFO] | | UPDATER | CORE | | | | 6760 | CFU(Webfeed): Query licensing type for LEID = V7{}Photoshop-15-Win-GM
09/27/14 16:55:26:015 | [INFO] | | UPDATER | CORE | | | | 6760 | A valid perpetual license found for = V7{}Photoshop-15-Win-GM
09/27/14 16:55:26:077 | [INFO] | | UPDATER | CORE | | | | 6760 | CFU(Webfeed): Patch is meant only for subscription licenses, but client doesn't have a valid subscription license.
09/27/14 16:55:26:077 | [INFO] | | UPDATER | CORE | | | | 6760 | CheckForManualApplicableUpdates : default Locale was found to be---- = en_US
09/27/14 16:55:26:077 | [INFO] | | UPDATER | CORE | | | | 6760 | CheckForManualApplicableUpdates : The update is not applicable as per licensing checks
It means the update for Photoshop 2014.1 and 2014.2 can only be installed with subscription licenses, but not on perpetual licenses (our case).
To workaround that, it would be needed to change
<TargetLicensingType>1</TargetLicensingType>
to
<TargetLicensingType>3</TargetLicensingType>
inside "UpdateManifest.xml"
But it would broken the signature of that file as recorded in "UpdateManifest.sig"
As an information, technically we have
LicenseType 3 LicenseStatus 1 , mapped LEID V7{}Photoshop-15-Win-GM
Finally, I think only Adobe can fix this mess with PS update.

Sun Microsystems is contributing Project Looking Glass, based on Java(tm) technology, to the open source community. Project Looking Glass is an exploration project to bring innovative 3D features to the desktop environment. The desktop interface will offer an intuitive, new 3D environment to interact with desktop applications featuring window transparency, rotation, zoom, multiple desktop workspaces and miniaturization.Project Looking Glass offers a platform to realize far richer and more entertaining user experience for existing and new applications in 2D or 3D. The technology enables developers to build highly visual 3D desktops and applications that will run on Linux systems such as Sun's Java Desktop System. The Solaris(tm) environment will be supported in near future.
What does this mean to you?
If you're a software developer, please go to http://enews.sun.com/CTServlet?id=63058 … 8531213971 and download this early version of the code and join the community in developing the 3D desktop.

Why Open Source?
Project Looking Glass is in its infancy, and we'd like to explore lots of ideas and possibilities. We're releasing the Project Looking Glass code to the whole community to explore every aspect of the technology rather than restricting access to a privileged few. We believe this open development is an excellent model to pursue this exciting and vast opportunity. So, your involvement is eagerly anticipated. We believe new dimension of developer innovation by making Sun's cutting edge technology available at Sun's 3D Desktop Technology Open Source Project on java.net.
We have been working for several months on cleaning the software up, providing basic features and functionality key to 3D window management. A key focus was looking at the existing 2D desktop applications, ensuring minimal compatibility and performance problems. The next step is to look what else we can do to foster real world 3D interactivity. We decided to open source this at a very early stage to ensure that we got good feedback from the community.
What's in the Open Source Project?
The following features are now available in the Project Looking Glass open source release:
3D Window Manager Platform - Java 3D based highly scalable 3D platform with client-server model support.
3D Window Manager and Application Development API - Java API to develop new 3D desktop applications and 3D desktop Window Manager features.
Native Application Integration Module - Allows developers to run conventional X11 applications in the 3D environment.
Sample 3D Window Manager - provides a simple sample implementation for testing and demonstration purposes
3D Environment Lite - Enables developers to run a simplified 3D environment as an application on a Java 3D enabled platform including Linux and Solaris environments. This serves as a development tool to test implementations.
This is all available at: http://enews.sun.com/CTServlet?id=63058 … 8531213971
What's the licensing model?
There are three license choices for developers interested in creating applications using Project Looking Glass.
For developers who are interested in reviewing, revising, and redistributing the source code as part of their own application, Project Looking Glass has been submitted as an Open Source project on java.net under the GNU Public License, or GPL.
For developers who are interested in developing an application on top of the existing Project Looking Glass platform without reviewing and/or altering the code base, there is a binary version of the current state of the project available for download under a traditional Binary Code License. This is also available on java.net.
Finally, for developers or organizations interested in other uses or revising the source code but wish to keep their implementation and related application proprietary, please contact Sun at [email protected].

Hi everyone from the Build 2015 conference happening right now in San Francisco! If you haven’t already, check out Terry’s blog post about all the Windows 10 announcements we made today. If you’re at Build this week or at Ignite in Chicago next week – keep your eye out for me and say hello!
Today we have a new build available to both the Fast and Slow ring for Windows Insiders (that means we’ll have ISOs available too for those of you who like a clean install.) With this build we continue to evolve the features and design for Windows 10, and you’ll see a lot of subtle changes and improvements, many of which were influenced directly by Windows Insiders. One of those changes is the reintroduction of some Aero Glass elements in the UI, but there are many more things throughout the product as well. We continue to use your feedback directly day to day in how our feature teams operate, and we hope that Windows 10 will be the best version of Windows yet because you had a direct hand in its creation.
One other subtle change that you’ll notice is that we’ve changed how we talk about the builds from “Technical Preview” to “Insider Preview” to reflect the importance of the Windows Insider community in how we’re building Windows 10.
And speaking of Windows Insiders, we were super excited to host the 10 winners of our Windows Insiders to Campus contest in Redmond last week and hear their thoughts on the program and the product. We’ll share more on that soon.
Here is what’s newSome of the things that Joe demoed on stage earlier today during the Build keynote are not yet included in this build and will be in future builds. But we still have a bunch of new stuff for you to check out!
General UX improvements: We made a bunch of UX improvements with the last build and you’ll see even more in this build. For example, you’ll notice a new Live Tile animation for Start in addition to in addition to some performance and stability improvements for Live Tiles.
We’ve done work to better support high DPI displays. And we know many Windows Insiders are running multi-mon setups – often with 2 monitors with different DPI. You will start to see some work we’re doing to make sure core UX components in Windows scale correctly on both your monitors so things look nice regardless of DPI.
We’ve also heard loud in clear that many Windows Insiders want to see Aero Glass from Windows 7 make a comeback. We’ve been working out how to satisfy this request, and are trying some things out with this build to see how you like them. We’re running a little A/B test with this build. 50% of you will normal transparency on the Start menu and taskbar while the other 50% will see a blur effect on the Start menu and taskbar (like frosted glass). If Windows Insiders really like the blur effect, we will add it to more areas and even consider making it the default instead of standard transparency. Which one did you get? Send us feedback about it via the Windows Feedback app!
Even more improvements to Continuum: We’re continuing to make Continuum better and invest in a simplified taskbar. Additionally when you close an application in Tablet mode, we take you back to the Start screen instead of the desktop as you would expect when using a tablet. You will see general polish on snapping, and the shared divider between two snapped windows now let’s you adjust the size.
Multi-tasking improvements: We’re continuing to refine and complete our mulit-tasking experience with Windows 10. Check out Alt-Tab, Task-View, and Snap Assist. Snap Assist also now supports the ability to close a window during Snap Assist.
New default Windows sounds: We’ve heard a lot of feedback from people that they want some fresh system sounds for Windows 10. Check them out and let us know what you think.
Visual refresh for Cortana: You will see a visual refresh for Cortana in this build that makes the experience feel more ingrained into the overall Windows experience. Start and Cortana are now more tightly integrated. As you start to search for an app from within Start, Cortana can seamlessly take over and bring back the right result. The new Windows split view control has been added to Cortana’s left rail, offering quick access to key Cortana functionality like the Notebook, Reminders or Feedback on how Cortana’s doing. This split view control helps anchor Cortana to the rest of the Windows UI and provides navigation consistent with many other Windows first party applications.
New experiences in Cortana: We are making available some new and updated experiences in Cortana powered by Bing Instant Answers. Cortana will aim to answer your question while you’re still typing. Here are a few questions you can try:
Weather – “Seattle Weather”
Finance – “MSFT stock”
Dictionary – “define astounding”
Calculator – “48*92”
Flight Status – “UA 238”
Reference – “how tall is brad pitt”
Showtimes – “movies near me”
Tech Help – “memory in my computer”
Time Zone – “time in London”
Unit Conversion – “42 ft in meters”
Chit Chat – “tell me a joke”
Updates for the Music and Video Preview apps: We’ve also shipped updates to these apps. The Music Preview app (3.6.999.0) has some UX improvements including a more immersive Now Playing experience with a true full screen mode. With the Video Preview app (3.6.999.0) – you can download movies, TV shows, and TV seasons and check progress, pause, resume, cancel the download. You can also download, delete, and even re-download videos as many times as you want on up to three devices (we’re planning to increase the number of devices you can download content too!). Closed captioning for purchased content now appears. You will see a list of new features when you first launch these app after each update!
Xbox app April 2015 update: The Xbox app for Windows 10 has been updated (your version number should be 4.4.9014.0 or higher) with new features like Game DVR for PC games, screenshots, a Live Tile, user profiles, and real-name sharing. Oh and the drivers for Xbox controllers are now included with Windows 10, so you no longer have to download and install controller drivers on Windows 10. For more on this month’s Xbox app for Windows 10 update as well as the new Avatars app – read this blog post.
Windows Store Beta improvements: We’re excited about delivering a single unified Store experience in Windows 10 which we’re talking more about this week at Build. We’ve made some improvements to the Store Beta which is now a blue tile instead of grey. Xbox Live games should be working and so are in-app purchases. Apps you purchased on a PC running Windows 8.1 will now show up in the Store Beta on Windows 10 as owned (and vice-versa). We’re also expanding the Store Beta from 41 markets with the addition of these new markets: Afghanistan, Åland Islands, Albania, Algeria, American Samoa, Andorra, Angola, Anguilla, Antarctica, Antigua and Barbuda, Armenia, Aruba, Azerbaijan, The Bahamas, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belize, Benin, Bermuda, Bahrain, Bhutan, Bolivia, Bonaire, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Botswana, Bouvet Island, Cyprus, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Georgia, Ghana, Guatemala, Iceland, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Malta, Pakistan, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Jordan, Lebanon, Nicaragua, Oman, Panama, Puerto Rico, Paraguay, Trinidad and Tobago, Uganda, Venezuela.
Discovering features and apps in Windows 10: We are investing in easy “bite-sized” learning and discovery experiences so that users can get more out of Windows 10. This ranges from tips and tricks on the Lock screen, to helping users discover high quality apps through Start, the Lock screen and Cortana. Be confident that you won’t miss out on new features and enjoy the ease of having high quality apps curated for you. It’s optional, and if anything doesn’t strike your fancy, you can provide feedback directly, such as whether you like an image or an app. These new experiences will be rolling out over time, so you may not see them in your market yet.
Here are some things we fixed
You can now launch Win32 (desktop) apps from the Start menu again. Sorry about this bug!
You should be able to download music in the Xbox Music and Music Preview apps.
When you minimize an app playing audio, it should continue playing in the background.
Here are some known issues
Developers cannot enable Developer Mode in the Settings app for installing and testing apps on this build. We’ll enable this in an upcoming build. In the meantime, you will need enable your device for development using the Group Policy Editor.
There is an issue in this build preventing some games from playing in full screen mode. We’re working to get a fix out via WU as soon as possible.
The People app continues to crash. We’re planning to release an update for the People app through the Store Beta that fixes this.
We hope you’ll agree that 10074 has some nice improvements and is another step forward towards delivering a great Windows 10 release. Please put it through the paces and keep sending us feedback on the things that you like and the things you want us to keep working on using the Windows Feedback app. I hope that you’ll also download the development tools released at Build and will build some terrific Universal Windows apps as well!
Thanks,
