BRisa UPnP Framework

BRisa is a UPnP framework for creating and managing UPnP devices, specially MediaServer/MediaRenderer. It offers a plugin architecture enabling new services such as Flickr, SHOUTCast, PicasaWeb, Orkut, FaceBook, Youtube and Canola as UPnP services.

As a project decision, BRisa team is now up to faster releases (obviously with smaller increments).

Concerning versions, heres an update:


  • python-brisa 0.7.0 (22 Oct 2008): finished, packaged, ready for shipping (project page[1], blogs and lists) - will be released sometime during this week

  • python-brisa 0.7.1 (28 Oct 2008): finished but not tagged yet

  • python-brisa 0.7.2 (development)



Changelog will soon be posted, but for the eager there's one few-hours-old version which will be updated asap.

Simple GIT vs SVN

Tired of all those detailed technical reasons why Git is better than SVN? Yeah, me too. This article showed up on slashdot to change that. It explains how Git works with development (branching, collaboration, stashing) and compares it with how you would do it using SVN. Soon I'll have "jumped on the Git bandwagon". :)
