License: Common Public License Changes: This release fixes a lot of bugs. It brings back the useful ToolBar in the Favorites Tree to perform some global actions like "Reload All Favorites" or "Mark all Favorites Read". The overall performance was improved, and Thai language support added. The Solaris release uses GTK 2 instead of Motif. [freshmeat.net announcements (Global)]

Spike PHPCoverage 0.6.2 (Default branch). Spike PHPCoverage is a tool for measuring and reporting code coverage provided by the test suite of a PHP application. It can instrument and record the line coverage information for any PHP script at runtime. It also provides an extensible reporting mechanism with a standard HTML report implemented out of the box. The default report displays the summary information about the code coverage for an application and also shows the detailed information about a file including which lines were actually executed and with what frequency. It is possible to specify the directories and files that should be included and/or excluded from a coverage measurement. License: Open Software License Changes: This release has Windows support. The restriction on which files to instrument has been removed. Now, all files in an application can (and should) be instrumented. Simple local and remote samples for setup verification after installation have been added. [freshmeat.net announcements (Global)]

RMail - Receive the Feed for This Blog Via Email. I'm such a big fan of RSS and newsreaders (I use FeedDemon) that I sometimes forget that not all of the readers of DennisKennedy.Blog use a newsreader or consume the RSS feed rather than visiting the blog on a regular basis. RMail from KBCafe is a new service that allows you to enter the URL for the feed for this blog (http://www.denniskennedy.com/index.xml) and your email address, and you will automatically receive my new posts by email. I still recommend using a newsreader, but this will give you an email option for subscribing to my RSS feeds and blog posts.
