    webCDwriter can be used to make a single CD-writer available to all
    users in your network. It consists of the server CDWserver and the
    clients webCDcreator and rcdrecord. CDWserver stores the files
    transmitted by the clients, reserves the CD-writer and controls the
    CD-writer using cdrecord. webCDcreator is a Java applet that runs
    within your browser (Netscape or IE), assists you when putting together
    a CD, and transmits the files. Finally rcdrecord is a command line
    client that trys to offer the functionality of cdrecord over the
    network.

    changes:
    A progress bar bug introduced in 1.0rc3 was fixed. A configure script
    was added and the documentation was updated. The server configuration
    options burnProof and removeSessions were added.

    description:
    log4j is a logging package written in Java. log4j allows you to log to
    a file, a java.io.Writer, a remote server, or a syslog daemon. The
    package is designed so that log statements can remain in shipped code
    without incurring a high performance cost. One distinctive feature of
    log4j is the notion of hierarchical categories. Using categories, it is
    possible to select (at runtime) which log statements are output at
    arbitrary granularity. The PatternLayout lets the user customize the
    output format without writing any code. Users can choose to implement
    their own log formats and output strategies.

    changes:
    This is the first release of log4j under the Apache banner, with lots
    of new features and bugfixes.

    a very high level of protection against being compelled to disclose its

    changes:
    A workaround for the issue with right-click toggle menu items using to
    crash under GNOME, some OS/2 compilation fixes, and fixes for PONG
    parsing, a leak of file descriptors, the /ME, /ALLSERV and /BAN
    commands (/BAN now replaces ~ with * in usernames, and /ME now also
    works through DCC CHAT while not connected to the server), and bugs
    with the resizing of a tinted-transparent window and DCC recieving of
    filenames with spaces. There is also a work-around for UnrealIRCd's
    duplicate /NAMES bug, and xtext has had efficiency improvements with
    text marking, word and line select, and fixes for multibyte characters.
    The Spanish and Swedish translations were updated.

    Studio Framework is a C++ class library and application framework for

    built with SFW are modular and can be reused without change in other
    SFW apps.

    NSA Security-enhanced Linux is a set of patches to the Linux kernel and

    addressed and enables the confinement of damage that can be caused by
    malicious or flawed applications. It includes a set of sample security
    policy configuration files designed to meet common, general-purpose

    Initial freshmeat announcement; changes from 200012181053 (the first

    avoid conflicts, fixing the buffer overflow problem discovered in the
    find_default_type function in libsecure, removing an extraneous ';' in
    the policy grammar, and minor adjustments in kernel/flask/Makefile.

    into a clean state. Support for forcing data-journaling on a per-inode
    basis has been added, and enabled on the quota files. O_SYNC has been
    fixed for the writeback data journaling mode. In ext3_orphan_del, the
    superblock is now locked down before testing the orphan list to make
    the entire operation atomic. When rename overwrites and deletes a file,
    ext3 now ensures that that file gets put on the orphan list. The
    initialisation of a new journal has been fixed, ensuring that the
    journal superblock is pre-zeroed along with the rest of the journal.
    ext3 will no longer mount or remount a journal with unrecognised

    description:
    The Nebula Device is a free multiplatform game engine currently running
    under Linux and Windows. It uses OpenGL and/or Direct3D for rendering
    and Tcl/Tk for scripting. Living C++ objects can be browsed and
    manipulated at runtime from the builtin console, or remotedly from a
    minimal terminal based console app. A powerful channel animation system
    allows any floating point attribute to be animated, and specialized
    animator classes allow things like realtime bone animation with
    weighted vertex skin.

    changes:
    The tutorial has been corrected, nTerrainNode class has moved to its
    own package, detailmapping for nTerrainNode has been added, and a
    fogging bug in nD3D7PixelShader and nGlPixelShader has been fixed.

    The CompaqArray Daemon polls and checks a SmartArray controller, and
    reports abnormal statuses to syslog or via SNMP traps to a several
    hosts at once.

    changes:
    A patch that makes the backgrounding a lot more stable has been merged
    in, and the sources have been tested with the 2.4.0 kernel; as the
    driver for the smartarrays didn't change, it works without
    modification. The sysv initscript has also changed, and now reads the
    commandline options from a file in /etc/sysconfig

    description:
    Java Serialization to XML (JSX) is an two-way bridge between XML and
    Java. It automatically creates tags and attributes from classnames and
    fieldnames - instead of you writing parsing code with SAX, DOM or JDOM.
    It does three impossible things: handles classes which customise their
    own serialization, creates without constructors, and accesses private
    fields - instead of you rewriting classes as Java Beans. It also
    handles circular references and arrays of arrays. JSX is lightweight.

    changes:
    This release supports classes that specify their own serialization
    (such as the collections and GUI classes), and fixes a Hashtable alias
    bug that made different objects look the same (Java 1.2 Hashtable tests
    for .equal(), not ==).

    utilizing the lmbench timing and result reporting harness. It includes
    a very wide variety of benchmarks for measuring the bandwidth and/or
    latency of various system operations.

    This version provides additional bugfixes, enhancements to result
    reporting, and updated documentation. If you are running an older alpha
    release, it is important to upgrade to this release.

    description:
    Katie is a revision control system, somewhat like a cross between CVS
    and NFS, and inspired by Rational ClearCase. The three most interesting
    features of Katie currently are that the repository is mounted as a
    filesystem (rather than being copied to a local workspace), all
    versions of all files (even deleted ones) are accessible through this
    filesystem (so there is, for example, no need for a Katie-specific diff
    command like CVS has), and that directories are versioned (just like
    files are). Basic operations (checkout, checkin, and creation of
    elements) work, but there is much work still to go before it will be
    generally useful.

    changes:
    Initial release.
