The theme of the 5.5 release is Wrap in Time, which represents a significant achievement of changing time_t to int64_t on all platforms, as well as ensuring that all of the 8k+ OpenBSD ports still continue to build and work properly, thus doing all the heavy lifting and paving the way for all other operating systems to make the transition to 64-bit time an easier task down the line. Signed releases and packages and the new signify utility are another big selling point of 5.5, as well as OpenSSH 6.6, which includes lots of DJB crypto like chacha20-poly1305, plus lots of other goodies." -- source: http://bsd.slashdot.org/story/14/05/01/1656209 Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Waikato, NZ http://www.cms.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ Ph. +64 (7) 858-5174

Hi Everyone, At the wlug meeting on 28 April, my presentation covered some of the differences between scripting macros in BASIC for OpenOffice/LibreOffice Calc, and scripting in Visual Basic Applications for Microsoft Office Excel. Part of my presentation included a Calc spreadsheet in which each sheet was designed to present an aspect of BASIC macros scripting in Calc. At the time I had only completed 6 Calc sheets. I have now completed 12 x Calc sheets which provide a more complete mini-tutorial style of presentation for understanding BASIC macro scripting. My Calc spreadsheet can be down-loaded from... http://www.wlug.org.nz/file/view/3862/writing-basic-macros-for-libreofficeop... For more details on the 12 x mini-tutorials see my blog... http://www.wlug.org.nz/blog/view/3858/writing-basic-macros-for-calc-spreadsh... cheers, Ian.
