Users of the Linux platform will be glad to hear of the release of Adobe's SVG viewer: also JXML's Quick Java/XML toolkit now has explicit Linux support.

• The Adobe SVG viewer is compatible with Mozilla and its derivatives (e.g. Galeon). It can be downloaded as a binary from Adobe's web site.

  • Open source SVG fans will also enjoy Tobias Reif's "how-to" on dynamically generating SVG with the Ruby scripting language.

• The Quick utility suite, now having Linux support by means of a set of bash scripts, includes:

  • Quick4.3.0 -- A Java toolkit for working with XML.
  • JXUnit3.1.3 -- Adds scripting and external data to JUnit.
  • JXWeb0.5 -- For testing web services.
  • QARE2.1 -- a PUSH-based XML portal that uses both email and HTTP

  Quick and associated utilities can be downloaded from the quickutil SourceForge page.
