Hailo is a fast and lightweight markov engine intended to replace AI::MegaHAL. It has a Mouse (or Moose) based core with pluggable storage, tokenizer, and engine backends. It is similar to MegaHAL in functionality. The main differences (with the default backends) are better scalability, drastically less memory usage, an improved tokenizer, and tidier output. With this distribution, you can create, modify, and query Hailo brains. To use Hailo in event-driven POE applications, you can use the POE::Component::Hailo wrapper. One example is POE::Component::IRC::Plugin::Hailo, which implements an IRC chat bot.
LibHdate is a small library for the Hebrew calendar with dates, holidays, and reading sequence. It is written in C and includes bindings for Pascal, Perl, {ython, PHP, and Ruby. hcal and hdate are small example command line programs written in C. This release brings many new options, features, and bugfixes to the two example programs hcal and hdate. The changes to the underlying function library include a few minor bugfixes, deprecation of a series of string functions in favor of a single new one with better memory allocation, and hard-coding of core elements of the Hebrew localization so that Hebrew can be displayed in all locales. Some selected highlights: config files for storing defaults; user-defined menus (defined in a config file); sunset awareness, based on coordinates given or system timezone and guesswork; optional easier entry of coordinates (N, S, E, W, dd:mm:ss); minhag customization for Shabbat times; and Hebrew information in Hebrew characters (for all locales). hcal can display in 3-month mode, in color, and with footnotes and Shabbat information. hdate can output data in CSV format, suitable for spreadsheets, awk, etc. hdate has many format enhancements.
