+title: Planetarion Fun!
+---
+
+I quietly released a new version of <a href="/projects/plib/">PLib</a>
+a few days ago. PLib 0.3.0 has a whole bunch of new goodies; here's
+a quick list:
+From <a href="http://www.linuxbrit.co.uk/">Tom Gilbert</a>, resource
+loader cleanups, and a new modular resource saver. From
+<a href="http://www.richlowe.net/">Richard Lowe</a>, a
+<a href="http://www.pcre.org/">PCRE</a> wrapper, and new warning and
+debugging calls. From me: PList and PHash cleanups, added the
+PVector type (think Vector in Java), PList and PHash API cleanups and
+bugfixes, TCP/IP and UNIX domain socket utility functions, TCP/IP
+and UNIX domain socket client and server (with simple
+<a href="http://www.openssl.org/">SSL</a> support), a short example
+program (a chat client and server with option file handling, and SSL
+support), C++ friendlyness, and autoconf/automake magic. Note that
+PCRE, OpenSSL, and even libdl are optional. If you don't have OpenSSL
+installed, for example, the PLib will still compile and work just
+fine; albiet without SSL capabilities. Thanks to Tom and Richard
+for all the help on PLib.
+<br /><br />
+
+The next round of <a href="http://www.planetarion.com/">Planetarion</a>
+has started. Since the old BattleCalc a) doesn't work this round and
+b) was Windows-only (of course, it ran great in
+<a href="http://www.winehq.com/">Wine</a> ;) ), I decided to whip up my
+own battle calculator. It's still pretty rough, and there isn't a GUI
+just yet -- although it does create CSV output so you can view the
+battle in Excel, Gnumeric, or your spreadsheet program of choice).
+Anyway, you can download my battle calculator
+<a href="/projects/pacalc/">here</a>.
+<br /><br />
+
+Oh yeah, I also updated my <a href="/planet/">Planetarion resource
+page</a>. Having trouble starting your planet? Be sure to check
+out the
+<a href="http://www.sinterklaas123.f2s.com/planetarion/3dayplan.htm">3-Day
+Plan</a>, a rough guide on your planet's first 72 hours.
