TUG 2011
by Didier Verna 12 Feb '13

12 Feb '13

I'm happy to announce that my contribution to TUG 2011, the next TeX Users Group International conference, has been accepted. Please find the title and abstract below. LaTeX Coding Standards Because LaTeX (and ultimately TeX) is only a macro-expansion system, the language does not impose any kind of good software engineering practice, program structure or coding style whatsoever. As a consequence, writing beautiful code (for some definition of "beautiful") requires a lot of self-discipline from the programmer. Maybe because in the LaTeX world, collaboration is not so widespread (most packages are single-authored), the idea of some LaTeX Coding Standards is not so pressing as with other programming languages. Some people may, and probably have developed their own programming habits, but when it comes to the LaTeX world as a whole, the situation is close to anarchy. Over the years, the permanent flow of personal development experiences contributed to shape my own taste in terms of coding style. The issues involved are numerous and their spectrum is very large: they range from simple code layout (formatting, indentation, naming schemes etc.), mid-level concerns such as modularity and encapsulation, to very high-level concerns like package interaction/conflict management and even some rules for proper social behavior. In this talk, I will report on all these experiences and describe what I think are good (or at least better) programming practices. I believe that such practices do help in terms of code readability, maintainability and extensibility, all key factors in software evolution. They help me, perhaps they will help you too. -- Resistance is futile. You will be jazzimilated.

Vaucanson 1.4 released
by Alexandre Duret-Lutz 28 Sep '11

28 Sep '11

The Vaucanson team is pleased to announce the release of Vaucanson 1.4. Vaucanson is a platform for manipulating weighted finite state automata. It includes a C++ generic library and a command-line interface (TAF-Kit). http://www.lrde.epita.fr/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Vaucanson/Vaucanson14 Vaucanson 1.4 is a major release featuring massive changes since our last release 1.3.2 two years ago. The most important changes are listed below. Please refer to the NEWS file for details. - A user's manual that fully documents the algorithms and automata available through the TAF-Kit command-line interface. - As part of this documentation and specification effort, many commands have been added, renamed, and generalized. So much in fact that it makes more sense to ask you to scan the user manual rather than list them here. - More examples of automata are provided, and "factories" (i.e., programs that generate scalable families of automata) are installed. - Two new fields have been implemented and can be used for weights: Q (rational numbers represented by a pair of 64bit integers) and F2 (a.k.a. Z/2Z). You can find the new release here: http://www.lrde.epita.fr/dload/vaucanson/1.4/vaucanson-1.4.tar.gz (55MB) http://www.lrde.epita.fr/dload/vaucanson/1.4/vaucanson-1.4.tar.bz2 (50MB) MD5: 6ba3b9e58fb55a88c4c655247d4901c6 vaucanson-1.4.tar.gz 108688a43c070156cfaad8905ce87510 vaucanson-1.4.tar.xz Please send bug reports to <vaucanson-bugs(a)lrde.epita.fr> and other inquiries to <vaucanson(a)lrde.epita.fr>.

Olena 2.0 released
by Roland Levillain 16 Sep '11

16 Sep '11

The Olena Team is proud to announce the release of Olena 2.0. Olena is a platform dedicated to image processing and pattern recognition. Its core component is a generic and efficient C++ library called Milena. Milena provides a framework to implement simple, fast, safe, reusable and extensible image processing tool chains. The library provides many ready-to-use image data structures (regular 1D, 2D, 3D images, graph-based images, etc.) and algorithms. Milena's algorithms are built upon classical entities from the image processing field (images, points/sites, domains, neighborhoods, etc.). This design allows image processing developers and practitioners to easily understand, modify, develop and extend new algorithms while retaining the core traits of Milena: genericity and efficiency. On top of Milena, the Olena platform also features optional modules such as Swilena, a component exposing Milena to other languages thanks to the Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator (SWIG); and the SCRIBO module for Document Image Analysis (see below). The Olena platform is Free Software. It is distributed under the conditions of the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 2. See the file COPYING shipped with the Olena distribution. Release notes are available at: http://olena.lrde.epita.fr/Olena200 You can download packages of the Olena 2.0 distribution here: http://www.lrde.epita.fr/dload/olena/2.0/olena-2.0.tar.gz (38 MB) http://www.lrde.epita.fr/dload/olena/2.0/olena-2.0.tar.bz2 (32 MB) The SHA1 digests of theses packages are: d3a829fa56bff4edbca58af0c9a39c9569820c60 olena-2.0.tar.gz 0abae2a9bc751a8fb33acacd2dbe70635d5dd00b olena-2.0.tar.bz2 Here is a list of major changes since Olena 1.0: * The biggest addition to Olena available in this new version is the SCRIBO module for Document Image Analysis (DIA). This module has been developed in the context of the SCRIBO project (see http://www.scribo.ws). The SCRIBO module provides software building blocks to create DIA tool chains, including routines for preprocessing steps (such as binarization, show-through removal, deskew and denoising), text lines identification, non-text objects retrieval (tables, pictures, separators, etc.), line reconstruction (rebuilding separators and tables), Optical Character Recognition (OCR) integration and document reconstruction (converting a document to XML, PDF and/or HTML outputs). Dedicated data structures are also provided to handle intermediate results. Some Graphical User Interface (GUI) programs based on the Qt toolkit are also proposed. * Several compilation issues have been addressed. * New algorithms (especially in mathematical morphology), canvases (or algorithmic patterns) and efficient algorithm variants have been added to Milena, as well as some new data types (see NEWS for more details). * More conversion routines, especially regarding color values. * Support for I/O routines (both built-in and depending on third-party packages) has been improved. * Various bug fixes and improvements. The file NEWS, included in the archive, contains a more complete list of user-visible changes.
