Guile-CV - GNU evaluation

A couple of months ago, we started to work on Guile-CV, a Computer Vision functional library for the Guile Scheme language, and now is the right time for it to be evaluated to be part of the GNU Project.

Guile-CV is based on Vigra (Vision with Generic Algorithms). It comprises a direct binding to Vigra C (a C wrapper to a subset of the Vigra library), and a higher level API written in Guile Scheme.

17 January 2017

Guile-Lib version 0.2.5 is released.

This is a maintenance release. It introduces two new (unit-test) APIs.

Prodedure: assert-false expr

assert-false will throw a 'test-failed-exception unless the evaluation of expr returns #f.

Special Form: assert expr

assert will throw a 'test-failed-exception if expr raises an exception.

See Guile-Lib's git summary and git log for a complete description.

14 November 2016

GNU Foliot version 0.9.6-beta is released.

This release fixes a serious GUI bug that appeared in GNU Foliot version 0.9.6-alpha: none of the Who , For whom and What combobox gtk entries where editable. Thanks to Juliana França who reported this bug.

See GNU Foliot's git summary and git log for a complete description.

8 March 2016

GNU Foliot version 0.9.6-alpha is released.

Special Note: Before GNU Foliot became a GNU package, it was named Kisê. The change of name has implied thousands of source code, manual and web-pages changes.

The application is quite robust, with respect to the implemented functionality as in version 0.9.5, but the huge quantity of source code changes is, in itlself, error prone, hence an alpha release.

See GNU Foliot's git summary and git log for a complete description.

29 February 2016

Good news for everyone: (a) Kisê is now fully autotool chained; (b) it depends on Grip, also fully autotool chained; (c) both Kisê and Grip run strict dependency checks @ configure time; (d) both install compiled modules, shared among all users.

See Kisê News for a detailed list of changes.

This is Grip's first release:

Unlike Amstrong's one, this is a [very] small step for humanity, but a big step for Kisê's and Guile-Clutter's users :-)

Our request for a nongnu project page at Savannah for our Grip toolbox is accepted, with all the honors! Bruno Félix Rezende Ribeiro, the GNU Savannah hacker in charge of our evaluation said:
