Relaunch of Neowin.net Friday Jan 15th 2010


Recommended Posts

there has to be more than can be pruned, 1 post wonders and topics that will never need to be used ever again

But I AM EXCITED!!!!!!! weeee :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

Pruning is a bad idea unless it's vitally needed. I've visited forums I haven't logged in on for 5+ years, it's nice knowing they still have my account.

I meant the ones the staff "Know" are useless, The upgrade is going to kill old urls to posts and such as well, so if there are any outside sites linking to old yet useful topics, their links won't work anymore, but bad useless stuff could get cut away

Good Luck! I really cannot wait! Not long now :)

What is theoretically the server has a power failure or something during the upgrade and you was close to finishing? Would you have to start again or would it carry on from where it left off? 2 days to convert :cry: Can't go without Neowin that long!

However long the downtime will be - it's going to be worth the wait. Those who've had the chance to test Atlas will agree.

During the upgrade there's always IRC.

The conversion itself for the forums is going to be around 5-6 hrs maybe, but there are other things they need to do besides that, I doubt it will be 2 days unless something goes wrong

I hope old URLs aren't killed! Upgrading shouldn't destroy the historic topics/posts :s

I agree. Looking forward to the upgrade, and I hope it all goes very smoothly.

I won't do that. The URLs won't change.

My birthday is the 15th.. I don't think its a coincidence ;) Thanks guys ;)

Looking forward to the all new Neowin! Lost count of how many redesigns I've been through with this place now! :)

Well maybe it is a setting but the urls for topics and such are not the same format they currently look like this

www.neowin.net/forum/forum-6/announcement-2-this-is-an-announcement/

they would get converted I assume

It won't destroy anything, I just meant if there are other sites that have articles or whatnot and have linked back to neowin those links won't work anymore

I just found this from Invision Power Services.

Redirecting 'old style' links

Another concern was that the old style links, for example: index.php?showtopic=10, are still able to access pages. This is necessary so that you do not lose bookmarks or traffic from currently indexed links. You can now choose to redirect with an optional "301 Moved Permanently" header to the new link format. This is transparent to the end user but will help search engines locate the correct copy of your content.

Don't forget the two days down time. So it arrives on the 17th. :)

Happy early birthday though amigo.. I'm on the 17th.

Wow. I can't wait to finally see the new version. I will be subscribing the day it goes live on the 17th again! YAY! Can't wait for this.

It would be excellent if they had one or more two things for subscribers due to this update :yes:

Just to alleviate the confusion. Is the relaunch on the 15th, but it's coming up on the 17th.. right?

Good point. In that case, it would go down on Wednesday ready for the Friday re-launch.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Kdenlive 26.04.2 by Razvan Serea Kdenlive is an acronym for KDE Non-Linear Video Editor. It works on GNU/Linux, Windows and BSD. Through the MLT framework, Kdenlive integrates many plugin effects for video and sound processing or creation. Furthermore Kdenlive brings a powerful titling tool, a DVD authoring (menus) solution, and can then be used as a complete studio for video creation. Kdenlive supports all of the formats supported by FFmpeg or libav (such as QuickTime, AVI, WMV, MPEG, and Flash Video, among others), and also supports 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios for both PAL, NTSC and various HD standards, including HDV and AVCHD. Video can also be exported to DV devices, or written to a DVD with chapters and a simple menu. Video editing features: Multi-track editing with a timeline and supports an unlimited number of video and audio tracks. A built-in title editor and tools to create, move, crop and delete video clips, audio clips, text clips and image clips. Ability to add custom effects and transitions. A wide range of effects and transitions. Audio signal processing capabilities include normalization, phase and pitch shifting, limiting, volume adjustment, reverb and equalization filters as well as others. Visual effects include options for masking, blue-screen, distortions, rotations, colour tools, blurring, obscuring and others. Configurable keyboard shortcuts and interface layouts. Rendering is done using a separate non-blocking process so it can be stopped, paused and restarted. Kdenlive also provides a script called the Kdenlive Builder Wizard (KBW) that compiles the latest developer version of the software and its main dependencies from source, to allow users to try to test new features and report problems on the bug tracker. Project files are stored in XML format. An archiving feature allows exporting a project among all assets into a single folder or compressed archive. Built-in audio mixer Kdenlive 26.04.2 changelog: Remove not needed actions from render info, fix rough size calculation for rendering. Fix clip sometimes not inserted in timeline when moving vertically in bin drag. Fix transcoding from clip properties. Cleanup render profile audio quality.

Fixes bug #520737 Fix nightly flatpak - disable rnnoise until implemented. Fix missing initialization. Edit mediacapture.cpp. Fix document unnecessarily marked as modified on opening, triggering a backup request. Fix incorrect detection of missing and remote clips causing unwanted backups.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.
    • People in the '50s and '60s had the same attitude, and we're still here over a half century later.
    • So after some fiddling I was able to get it to run at a pretty stable 30FPS. I'm slightly surprised about how much fiddling I had to do to get there though given what I thought was reasonable hardware: Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 7700S I think I could do it better if I use Linux rather than Windows, Windows RAM usage is stupid without stripping the system down. But once I got it working in a reasonable state, it was so awesome! I felt like a new Bond! If anyone has any advice to get things going a bit smoother FPS-wise, I'd appreciate it.
