WINAMP.COM | Forums - Winamp 2.9, Winamp3, and the future
WINAMP.COM | Forums - Winamp 2.9, Winamp3, and the future: "Winamp 2.9, Winamp3, and the future
To our beloved developers,
we'd like to inform you of our new (or somewhat recently updated) development
plans for Winamp. It's important to note that our primary goals (to provide
the best media playback experience and functionality) have not changed.
The New Plan[tm]!
Currently we provide Winamp 2.81 and Winamp3 for our users. Both programs
provide some really excellent features and functionality, and a lot of those
benefits do not overlap between the two products.
We intend to combine everything our users like about Winamp 2.81 and Winamp3
into one version of Winamp.
Step 1: Winamp 2.9 (next week)
Winamp 2.9 will be built on Winamp 2.x, and include new features such as video
support and a media library. Winamp 2.9 will also provide some new APIs for
tighter plug-in integration. We will even be releasing portable device plug-ins
as examples.
Step 1.5: release lots of updates to Winamp 2.9x, to fix bugs and add minor improvements.
Step 2: Winamp '5' (this summer)
(The '5' is just a working title, and may or may not be used.. The (slightly amusing)
thought is that Winamp 2 Winamp 3 = Winamp 5; but not everybody around is sold on
that idea. We'll see.)
This version will integrate Winamp 3 skin and script support into the Winamp 2.x platform.
This will allow users who do not wish to have complex freeform skins to use classic
Winamp skin(s), with the full performance of Winamp 2.x. Those who wish to use more
advanced Winamp3 skins can do so as well. The integration will be seamless.
Initially this version of Winamp will not support Wasabi components. That may
or may not change as we go forward, we have yet to see how worthwhile that will
be. We have and will be extending Winamp 2.x's plug-in architecture greatly to
allow much of the same functionality that can be accomplished with Wasabi).
We also plan on adding CD ripping and burning capability for this release.
We are aiming to release this version sometime (read: towards the end of) this
summer (2003).
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit!
(don't worry about steps 3 and 4, they are just a lame Southpark reference)
To just sum things up: plan going forward:
* Winamp 2.9, March 2003
- Adds video and library and new APIs for better plug-in integration to Winamp 2.x
* Winamp '5' (title unknown), Late Summer 2003
- Adds Winamp3 skin support, CD ripping, CD burning.
- Fully supports Winamp 'classic' and Winamp3 skins
- Fully supports Winamp 'classic' plug-ins
- Does not initially support Winamp3 (Wasabi) components.
For developer questions, please ask in this forum.
For press inquires, please contact Ann Burkart.

CNN.com - Experts anxious over possible Web attack - Jul. 31, 2003
CNN.com - Experts anxious over possible Web attack - Jul. 31, 2003: "(CNN) -- Seeing a rise in hacker activity that could be a prelude to a broad Internet attack, security experts Thursday urged computer users to protect their machines by installing a free patch offered by Microsoft.
The Homeland Security Department warned it has detected an increase in hackers scanning the Internet to find vulnerable computers.
'That's a sure sign the intruder community is actively interested in finding out who they can exploit,' said Jeffrey Havrilla, an Internet security analyst at the government's CERT Coordination Center, which monitors computer security.
Concerns mount
The vulnerability affects almost all computers running Microsoft's Windows operating system software. The flaw, involving so-called 'buffer overflows,' can fool software into accepting insecure commands that could let intruders steal data, delete files or eavesdrop on e-mails.
Experts worry that home computer users and corporations might delay installing the needed patch and as a result leave their computers open to attack.
'They can take complete control of a machine. They can take it down. They can reformat the hard drive. They can scan for information,' said Dan Ingevaldson, engineering director at Internet Security Systems in Atlanta.
New tools tested
Government experts said hackers have tested new tools in recent days to seize unsecured computers.
Internet security firms issued similar warnings, saying they've seen increased chatter in hacker discussion groups and chat rooms about how to take advantage of Windows' vulnerability.
'We are expecting something sooner rather than later,' Ingevaldson said. 'But there's no horizon on some of these things.'
Uncertain about attack
Security watchdogs said there is no way of knowing if or when an attack might take place. They urged users not to gamble and install the patch quickly.
The latest versions of Windows XP prompt users to do this automatically, but those with older versions should visit www.windowsupdate.com to get the download."
