Just in time to slip one into Santa's sack.
Other than a few minor bug fixes, 2008-1 is identical to 2008-1 Beta.

It's been quite some time...
A Beta version of this year's LEARNIX is available for download. The most noticeable change is that LEARNIX is now based on Ubuntu GNU/LINUX, rather than KNOPPIX. Please send any comments and bug report, so things can be fixed before the 2008-1 final release. Note that the Getting Started Guide has not been updated yet.

Heroic struggle has come to an end
Yes, it's true: the 5.0.1 Gold Master has just been uploaded. It differs from the Beta in the newer versions of brad and Radzilla. Get it while it's hot.

Santa will bring the Final version
This is the version we are going to be using for our teaching which starts 28 November. With the feedback we receive, the Beta will be updated, and the final version of 5.0.1 released.

Note ready for production yet.
This is an alpha version for testing purposes only. It is intended for developers to test if their software works o.k.

Inching forward
Both, RADIANCE and ESP-r have seen new releases. They will be included in the next LEARNIX which are in the process of building.

Ditched the CMS
The LEARNIX web site is now back to a mostly static approach, with a good measure of SSI sprinkled in. The Content Management System created too many problems, both, with keeping it up-to-date, and security wise.
The new approach (which also the original one) should be more secure since we no longer have to deal wth PHP and its inherent security flaws. As an added benefit, the new LEARNIX site looks similar to the WebHDR site, having the two more consistent.
A little draw back is that some of the flexibility of the CMS system is lost, such as the ability to post comments. Since hardly anybody used this flexibility, it won't be missed too much.

3.8.1 never made it...
Yes, it's true: Version 4.0.2 is out. As usual, with the latest and greatest of building simulation software: RADIANCE 3.7.2, ESP-r 10.12. Unfortunately, DaySim had to be removed due to incompatibilities, but do check out the latest RADZILLA, which now has a graphical interface to it (although still unfinished). Oh, and our tutorials on RADIANCE and ESP-r have seen new revisions, too.

The encyclopedia of free software downloads
Although Softpedia's LINUX section is fairly new, they have already
spotted us on their radar. Go and see for yourself:
LEARNIX on Softpedia.
Please feel free to submit your rating. We expect no less than
an 'Excellent' ;-)

Send bugs or request features!
The next version of LEARNIX is up for beta testing. Based
on KNOPPIX 3.8.1, this release is the first one to come with only
