re all,

despite the silence of this mailinglist there has been a LOT of activity on FreeJ in the last period, implementing new very important features, thanks to the support of Montevideo/Netherlands institute for Media Art and to the skills of Kysucix.

now it's time for us to ask YOUR HELP :) please take some time to test the current pre-release of FreeJ, in particular i hope Guido will report about its correct build on Debian.

here we go with the current ChangeLog:

FreeJ 0.7 BIKO - 6 Sept 2004 now scriptable in OO javascript syntax new S-Lang console interface (also remote VJoE) new Particle Generator layer new Vertical Text Scroll layer new FFMpeg movie layer (experimental) new Midi controller (experimental) new Flash layer (experimental) blitter rewritten with improved detail initial support for value fading via oscillators new optimized memcpy routines, speed improvements support for Darwin/OSX fixes to AviLayer and TxtLayer quality and behaviour new tutorial and improved documentation

you can get the current pre-release here: ftp://ftp.dyne.org/freej/releases/freej-0.7-pre1.tar.gz ftp://ftp.dyne.org/freej/releases/freej-0.7-pre1.tar.gz.asc (signature)

or even better checkout the CVS module:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anoncvs@dyne.org:/freej co freej

please test it with the new javascript interpreter! an example script is provided in doc/freejscript-example.js as well some initial documentation in the same directory. to compile with javascript you need to download the SpiderMonkey engine (mozilla project) from a mirror like http://ftp.scarlet.be/pub/mozilla.org/js/js-1.5-rc6a.tar.gz

then compile it following instructions, at last compiling freej - --with-javascript=/full/path/to/js

also please note the testing facility --enable-debug in configure, which will compile with debugging flags useful to have a precise backtrace when running in gdb.

that's it! i hope you enjoy the birth of procedural video technology ;) feedback is very very welcome!

ciao
