terrore e raccapriccio :(! stanotte, forse per la troppa emozione non ho notato questo appunto nella nota di release di php 5.0:

Due to issues surrounding the MySQL 4.0 license, the MySQL libraries are no longer bundled with PHP. For more information on these licensing changes please see the MySQL licensing policy [1]

cmq, sbattendo un pò la testa in giro ho letto che pare che MySQL 4.0 sarà licenziato GPL a breve e quindi dalla prossima release di PHP tornerà ad essere integrato… sperèm! :(

mi correggo:
pare che il problema sia proprio il fatto che MySQL è GPL…

…Questo porta a notevoli problemi. PHP non può linkare librerie GPL,
perchè tutto dovrebbe essere licenziato GPL.
Ho letto, che il gruppo del PHP vorrebbe proporre a MySQL inc.
un’eventuale clausola che permetterebbe di linkare le librerie di MySQL
in PHP.
Non vorrei sbagliarmi, ma ciò va contro alle regole di una licenza open
source OSI.

PHP 5.0.0 Beta 1
The PHP development community is proud to announce the release of PHP 5 Beta 1. Both source packages, and a Windows build are available in the Downloads Section. A list of changes can be found in the ChangeLog file.

Some of the more major changes include:

* PHP 5 features the Zend Engine 2. For a list of Zend Engine 2 changes, please visit this webpage.
* XML support has been completely redone in PHP 5, all extensions are now focused around the excellent libxml2 library (http://www.xmlsoft.org/).
* SQLite has been bundled with PHP. For more information on SQLite, please visit their website.
* Streams have been greatly improved, including the ability to access low-level socket operations on streams.

Note: This is a beta version. It should not be used in production or even semi-production web sites. There are known bugs in it, and in addition, some of the features may change (based on feedback). We encourage you to download and play with it (and report bugs if you find any!), but please do not replace your production installations of PHP 4 at this time.

era oraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!! :D

sempre a proposito di mozilla, come saprete si basa su XUL, linguaggio che permette, inoltre, di creare nuovi componenti. Proprio tramite questo linguaggio è stato creato un desktop simile a quello di windows con alcuni giochini come campo minato e snake! (ovviamente funziona solo con browser XUL compatibili!) :D

secondo asa oggi (o al max domani) dovrebbe essere rilasciata la versione stabile di mozilla 1.4. Vi ricordo che questa dovrebbe essere l’ultima versione ad usare il vecchio codice di sviluppo, difatti dalla prossima 1.5 verrà usato il codice di FireBird.

What is the IBM Emerging Technologies Toolkit (ETTK)?
The ETTK is a software development kit for designing, developing, and executing emerging autonomic and grid-related technologies and Web services. The ETTK provides an environment in which to run emerging technology examples that showcase recently announced specifications and prototypes from IBM’s emerging technology development and research teams. In addition, it provides introductory material to help developers easily get started with development of autonomic technologies, Web services, and grids. The ETTK evolved from the package known as the Web Services Toolkit (WSTK). With the renaming of the WSTK package to ETTK, the scope of technologies included within the package has been expanded. The new toolkit consolidates related technologies from various IBM development and research labs. The demos and functions of the ETTK run on both Linux and Windows® operating systems.
How does it work?
The basic software components needed to experiment with and create Web services and autonomic and grid-related programs are provided with the ETTK. Included is an architectural overview of autonomic technologies, Web services, sample programs, utility services, and some tools (such as ReGS Autonomic Logging demo, XML Parser, UDDI client APIs) that are helpful in developing and deploying autonomic and grid programs and Web services. The toolkit also includes a fully-functioning SOAP and grid infrastructure.

ETTK includes a fully-functioning SOAP engine (Apache AXIS), and grid (Globus ToolkitTM) infrastructure.

da IBM un comodo tool on-line per analizzare i WDSL dei webservice a cui vogliamo accedere.
Ps. funziona solo con Internet Explorer causa uso massiccio di DHTML e JS. :(

OptimalGrid for Linux — autonomic computing on the Grid — OptimalGrid aims to simplify creating and managing large-scale, connected, parallel grid applications. It optimizes performance and includes autonomic grid functionality. OptimalGrid manages partitioning, problem piece deployment, runtime management, dynamic level of parallelism, dynamic load balancing, and even system fault tolerance and recovery. This article shows you how the OptimalGrid system is designed to bring the immense potential of Grid computing easily within reach of developers who aren’t grid infrastructure experts.

JSR sarà strettamente integrato a PHP! :D
Scripting Pages in JavaTM Web Applications :

There are a number of scripting languages that are being used today to generate dynamic content; notable examples include PHP, ECMAScript, Active Server Pages and others. Application developers using these technologies would like a standard mechanism to access information developed in the Java platform. This Specification will describe how to write portable Java classes that can be invoked from a page written in an scripting language, including details on security, resources and class loader contexts. The specification will cover both the case where the Java clases are instantiated in a Java Servlet container and the case of a Java VM. The specification may include a Java API that can be used, possibly through JNI, by an scripting language engine to access the desired Java objects. The specification will also describe how to package these scripting pages and Java classes, including how to bundle the scripting pages into a WAR file.

The way Java objects are represented and accessed in a given scripting language is specific to that scripting language but we expect this specification to indicate some common requirements for these mappings. The specification will be grounded in some specific mappings, which may or not be included as part of the specification.
