Re: [LAD] [ANN] Drumstick 0.4.0 released

About the other projects, the latest sources will be bundled in future released tarballs, until some day when I will decide to stop bundling it and unconditionally require the external shared libraries. I'm including drumstick in the source tarballs of some projects to make it easier for users to try a single program, downloading a single tarball and building it from sources. Packagers maintaining several programs in a repository should link the shared libraries instead. This release is binary compatible with drumstick-0.3.x, so it would be possible to replace the old libraries with the new ones, but I don't recommend uninstalling the RPM packages because this is probably going to trigger a removal process on the RPM packages depending on it. In Fedora, only kmid depends on drumstick, as kmidimon is distributed by CCRMA statically linked to an older library version, and it is an ancient kmidimon anyway. My advice is to contact the package maintainers and suggest to upgrade their packages. There are also RSS feeds available at sourceforge.net, freshmeat.net and cia.vc for these projects, with several levels of detail and customization. Readers for the KDE desktop include Akregator and several Plasma widgets. Yes, kaseq is much older than drumstick. It is a DCOP service for KDE3, and will be migrated to KDE4 some day as a DBus service using drumstick. Regards, Pedro
