The gephex developers are at the Piksel04 Meeting in Bergen(Norway).

Piksel is a yearly event for artists and developers working with Free Libre and Open Source Software (FLOSS) for realtime processing of video and sound.

We are working on application interoperability issues like streaming and a common effect api.

There'll also be a Gephex workshop and some public demonstration.

The win32 binary release is not uploaded yet, but will be available sometime today.

Most important changes since the last pre-release:

• ffmpeg output (only works on linux, on win32 it causes an access violation)
• yuv4mpeg input
• noise module, yuv4mpeg output and input are now also available on win32

There will be a Gephex workshop by VJ#13 at the upcoming VJBR 1 in Sao Paolo(Brazil).

The new libavifile package (0.7.38.20030710-1.1) in debian unstable does not work with gephex. We don't know the exact reasons yet, see this thread for details.

As a temporary fix, we have added the old libavifile package (0.7.38.20030710-1) to our apt-server and have uploaded a new version of the gephex package that has a dependency against this package.

Users of unstable will have to install the old version of libavifile and tell apt to hold this version. Sorry for the inconvinience.

In Debian Sarge (testing), there is no avifile package included. If you install the avifile packages (0.7.38.20030710-sarge1) from "deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ testing main", video playback with gephex works.

ffmpeg support for the gephex-0.4 branch is currently being worked on, and it will replace libavifile to avoid this strange bug. We will release gephex-0.4.1 as soon as it is stable.

There is a Gephex package at gentoo-portage.org.

Since we removed the CVS repository from sourceforge, we had no working solution for anonymous access of the sources.

This has changed now: we converted the CVS repository to arch and offer access via the following url:

http://arch.gephex.org/gephex/2004

The name of the archive is gephex@gephex.org--2004, the revision is called gephex--main--0.4.

We suggest you use tla to access this archive. The commands to get the gephex source are:

tla register-archive http://arch.gephex.org/gephex/2004

tla get -A gephex@gephex.org--2004 gephex--main--0.4

For more details see also this message in the gephex-devel mailinglist.

Today we deactivated our CVS repository at sourceforge. Until we have set up cvs access on gephex.org, you can get the latest cvs snapshot from the download page.

For more details see also this message in the gephex-devel mailinglist.

On December 14th 2003, the Gephex Project released the first stable release of Gephex.

On November 4th 2003, the Gephex Project released the second beta release of Gephex.

The event was going to take place at the "Kunsthalle" in Vienna on Wednesday 10/22 and the main intent was to give interested ppl an insight into the demo scene and the involved culture. Read the report.

On October 9th 2003, the Gephex Project released the second alpha release of Gephex. Please note that these are unstable development releases with missing or non-working features.
