That is, it enables you to use plugins on platforms they were not built for. For example, you can use the Adobe Flash plugin on Linux/x86_64, NetBSD and FreeBSD platforms. text/html 2008-07-07T00:21:50+02:00 Gwenole Beauchesne http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/en/blog/2008/07/06/nspluginwrapper_1.1.0?rev=1215382910 I had a happy Saturday so remaining crash bugs for features brought in this release did not disturb me much. I could still keep a positive mindset during those grmpf <censored> debugging sessions... Thanks! nspluginwrapper 1.1.0, a snapshot from the development branch, is now available. However, please note that since it is work-in-progress, you will only find source code here and no binary packages. Besides, the download link is at the bottom so that you can read the whole stuff about 1.1.0, a … text/html 2008-07-06T23:23:07+02:00 Gwenole Beauchesne http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/en/projects/nspluginwrapper/help?rev=1215379387 FIXME The help center is still under construction.

I got some time this weekend to iron out the latest (cosmetic) problems. This version doesn't feature everything I wanted to include for a “1.0” release but it turns out to be rather stable for some time now. Missing features became either obsolete (XPCOM) or totally irrelevant (Windows support). text/html 2008-06-29T23:27:21+02:00 Gwenole Beauchesne http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/en/projects/nspluginwrapper/news?rev=1214774841 * [2008/06/29] nspluginwrapper 1.0.0 * Don't wrap root plugins to system locations, keep them private * Fix support for Acrobat Reader 8 (focus problems) * Fix support for mozplugger (in full-debug mode) * Fix support for WebKit * Fix crashes with Flash Player 9 Update 3 (9.0.115) * Fix build with Intel compiler * Add support for IBM XLC compiler * Improve error handling during RPC initialization (possible memory leak on error) * Improve error handling in NPP_WriteRea… text/html 2008-06-29T23:23:16+02:00 Gwenole Beauchesne http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/common/nspluginwrapper/downloads/dist_20080629?rev=1214774596 nspluginwrapper 1.0.0 (29.Jun.2008) * Plugin, Viewer (x86_64, glibc 2.3, gcc 3.4) * Sources: [ tar.bz2 ] [ rpm ] text/html 2008-05-06T07:49:28+02:00 Gwenole Beauchesne http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/en/blog/2008/05/06/nspluginwrapper_happenings?rev=1210052968 Hi, here a few updates concerning nspluginwrapper. Project commodities. Many people asked for usual project commodities like mailing-lists and a bug reporting system. I don't want to host that myself because that would require users to create yet another account elsewhere. SourceForge or Savannah-based systems don't suit me because (i) I don't like the interface and (ii) I want to keep the SVN tree hosted on my server at this time (which Savannah wouldn't allow, AFAIK). So, where can I host the… text/html 2008-04-29T07:47:33+02:00 Gwenole Beauchesne http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/en/blog/2008/04/29/orienting_future_developments?rev=1209448053 I am facing a cruel dilemma: on one hand, I want to continue the development of software I contributed to for years or software I created ; on the other hand, I have to realise I just can't pursue in all directions. Free software is great to the end-user but it generates several costs to a developer, when he is not backed up by companies or sponsors. Yes, everything is done during his free time. In my opinion, this model works best when you are a student (lots of holidays!) or working for a com… text/html 2007-12-25T20:29:19+02:00 Gwenole Beauchesne http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/en/blog/2007/12/25/nspluginwrapper_and_new_flash_player?rev=1198610959 Some people have reported that NSPluginwrapper crashes with the new Flash 9 Update 3 (9.0.115) plug-in. It turns out this is triggered in multithreaded context and is more visible on SMP/CMP machines. If you have crashes similar to those reported in RedHat #360891 or Ubuntu #177856, please try the following patch, or use this source snapshot for the upcoming version 0.9.91.6. text/html 2007-10-31T07:38:42+02:00 Gwenole Beauchesne http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/en/blog/2007/10/31/some_news?rev=1193812722 Some of you have been wondering what's happened lately. I will try to summarize rough status and targets in this post. An inoperative development platform. My Antec Aria power supply burned three weeks ago and proprietary PSUs do suck. I have two choices: (i) either buy a replacement PSU for 50 EUR, or (ii) buy a new bare-bone case that includes a PSU for 80 to 100 EUR. Then, I wonder: if I were to change the case, why not change motherboard, CPU et al.? text/html 2007-08-26T18:18:43+02:00 Gwenole Beauchesne http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/en/about/blog?rev=1188145123 text/html 2007-08-26T18:16:59+02:00 Gwenole Beauchesne http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/en/blog/2007/08/26/nspluginwrapper_0.9.91.5?rev=1188145019 Oh sunny day in Paris, it was becoming a scarce resource lately! And why am I blogging here about a new release of nspluginwrapper instead of getting out? Huh, let's say I needed my mind to get busy differently, looking for other kinds of problems, and feeling capable to fix those at least... text/html 2007-08-26T16:38:38+02:00 Gwenole Beauchesne http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/en/about/blog/archives?rev=1188139118 text/html 2007-08-26T16:37:04+02:00 Gwenole Beauchesne http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/en/about/blog_sidebar?rev=1188139024 Archives * 2007 Feeds * RSS Feed * Atom Feed Technorati * * text/html 2007-08-26T13:17:22+02:00 Gwenole Beauchesne http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/en/projects?rev=1188127042 Projects * [2007/07/15] cpuinfo cpuinfo is a simple library and program used to retrieve some information about the underlying CPU. e.g. model name, caches hierarchy, processor features.
