interpretation of results through syntax highlighting and an
intuitive interface, and adding new functionality for simplifying
management of code changes over time.
"Coverage Analyzer, like all PDK's tools, is about ease-of-use: the
ability for anyone to create a quality Perl application and then
deploy it to coworkers or clients anywhere," says Jan Dubois, lead
developer, PDK. "Coverage analysis is only as good as your

optimize code."
With this release, Perl programmers also get the latest version of
PerlApp, the most advanced tool for creating and deploying Perl
executables to all major platforms. Heuristic refinements provide
sophisticated module wrapping to improve executable performance, and
Unix versions have been redesigned to use dynamically-linked runtime

SpamSieve 2.6
SpamSieve has been updated to version 2.6.
SpamSieve gives you back your inbox by bringing powerful Bayesian spam
filtering to popular e-mail clients. It learns what your spam looks
like, so it can block nearly all of it. It looks at your address book
and learns what your good messages look like, so it won't confuse
them with spam. Other spam filters get worse over time as spammers
adapt to their rules; SpamSieve actually gets better over time as you
train it with more messages. SpamSieve doesn't delete any
messages--it only marks them in your e-mail client--so
you'll never lose any mail. SpamSieve works with any number of
mail accounts, of whatever types are supported by your e-mail software
(e.g. POP, IMAP, Hotmail, AOL).
This update includes the following enhancements:
* SpamSieve now works with Mozilla Thunderbird.

TIMESFORFUN.DE RELEASES FGRAB 1.0b3 BETA 3, THE SCREEN MOVIE CAPTURE UTILITY
Germany, Feb 21, 2007 - TIMESFORFUN.de announces the release of fgrab
1.0b3 beta 3 for Mac OS X
fgrab is a screen movie capture utility. Capture everything on the
screen and save it as a QuickTime movie. Under the hood fgrab has a
highly sophisticated capture engine.
fgrab is still beta. Interested in beta testing? fgrab beta is about
70 % faster than the leading screen movie capture utility. On a
MacBook Pro 1.83 GHz fgrab needs about 20% of the CPU processing
power to capture the whole screen (1440 x 900 px @ 30 fps). If only a
special area of the screen is in motion (that is the normal case),
fgrab merely needs 5% or less. The third beta release is the first
stable release. IMPORTANT: This kind of software is really hardware
dependent and might not run properly on all systems, but on most!
It's still beta... fgrab currently does not work properly with the
Intel GMA 950 chip (in MacBook and Mac mini).
