Psi is one of the software I follow closely. For those who don't know, it's a jabber client.
I'm particularly interested in this software because I think it has one of the best jabber's specifications implementation since a long time. Moreover it's written with Qt, and I really care about cross-platform software.
And so, Psi 0.12 is now out. Try it!

Just before leaving the hotel for a new trip, I'm really pleased to announce the release of dotclear 2.0. Trust me, it's a good one!
Test it here.

I've just finished the first version of robotsTxt, my first plugin for Dotclear2.
This version is stamped 0.1-beta1. It allows you to generate a simple basic robots.txt file for your blog. It supports sitemap, User-Agent, Allow, Disallow keywords.
This plugin was a need for the users of this blog platform, and unfortunately I didn't take enough time to develop it well, so don't be afraid to see some quick and & dirty code somewhere ;-)
I probably will put it on dotaddict.org, the dotclear contributors platform, after I have used it long enough, to have a minimum of stability guaranteed.
Any suggestions, bugs reports, patches are welcome.
You can download it on the dedicated page of robotsTxt plugin.

Since I'm using subversion, I've never really read the FM, because it's so easy to use. Some days ago I discovered one interesting advanced feature. That is the so-called svn propset command, with it's svn:eol-style buddy. Why this one in particular? Because I remember having fought several times in cross-platform projects; the typical case is when one file is edited or created on Microsoft Windows (and so, most of the time with "\r\n" for the end of lines), which is then modified in another operating system like Unix or GNU/Linux: it produce strange output depending on the editor software. Anyway, svn:eol-style is the solution; apply this command over your files:
svn propset svn:eol-style native myFile
and then, the next one who will checkout, will obtain a file with the proper line ending, depending on his operating system; for example "\n" on GNU/Linux and "\r\n" on Microsoft Windows.
Really useful I think.

I don't know if you already had the occasion to test the new Firefox 3.0, but I was startled by the speed of the new javascript engine.
Before this latter version, I found Internet Explorer 7.0 javascript engine more quick than the one from Firefox 2.0, but now the trend is totally reversed. You can now really enjoy full javascript website like Gmail; it is so fast to navigate in it.
Good point for Firefox.

J'ai découvert le site access-key offrant notamment quelques vidéos présentant dans chacune d'elle une situation problématique rencontrée par une personne handicapée visuelle, suivi d'une explication des solutions possibles.
Cela rappelle l'importance du respect des règles du W3C, mais aussi l'importance de penser aux bonnes pratiques de codage pour qu'un site internet soit accessible au plus grand nombre; à mettre entre toutes les mains de développeurs web à mon avis.
