subject: freshmeat's Stance on "Trivial" Software
posted on: Jan 20th 2001, 23:59 EST
category: Editorial
body:
Every day, dozens of hackers send us news of their code and hope for a
spot in the appindex. Since we know how much our approval can mean,
it honestly does hurt us more than it hurts you when we have to frown
over a submission and write back, You know, this really doesn't fit
here... In today's editorial, Nathan Hurst, part of freshmeat's
Australian crew, explains what goes through our minds and why we
sometimes feel we just have to say no.

setrage is a program that creates XF86Config files for ATI Rage 128,
ATI Rage 128 Pro, ATI Rage 128 MAXX, and ATI Radeon cards. It includes
many configurable options such as keyboard, mouse, video settings, etc.
It is optimized for use with DRI (3D acceleration). setrage only works
with XFree86 4.x. Radeon support requires XFree86 4.02.

description:
libbinio uses its own protocol to store and retrieve binary data
portably. It uses an fprintf/fscanf interface, exporting eight
functions: fputf, vfputf, fgetf, vfgetf, fwputf, vfwputf, fwgetf, and
vfwgetf. Rather than using nebulous data types such as "16 bits", it
uses standard C types and uses printf/scanf-style argument lists (it
even uses GNU argument checking if available). It should be a drop-in
replacement for printf/scanf and still work perfectly well. It aims to
be portable to every C89-conforming implementation, but can use C99 and
GNU extensions if available.
changes:
Bugfixes, and new wide-char versions of the functions (fwputf(),
vfwputf(), fwgetf(), and vfwgetf()).

adds more functionality such as a help button and box, a treeview, an
editbox, file and directory selectors, a range box, and a calendar. It
uses GTK+, and will match your desktop theme.
changes:
One bug was fixed (introduced in 1.4.6) that made GTK issue warnings
when using the --help option together with the --fselect and --dselect
widgets while the --button-style was "icon" or "default". Much better
callback timer functions were written for the --infobox and the --gauge
widgets (refreshes occurs more often and no label/progress bar refresh
can be missed anymore). A --print-maxsize special option was
implemented, and a better justification scheme was made for labels in
--2inputsbox, --3inputsbox, --2rangesbox and --3rangesbox widgets
(these labels also accept \n for line splitting). Documentation is
updated and more complete, and there are new --with-print-* compile
time customization options for "configure".

XScreenSaver is a modular screen saver and locker for the X Window
System. It is highly customizable and allows the use of any program
that can draw on the root window as a display mode. More than 100
display modes are included in this package.
changes:
This release adds a diagnostic dialog when xscreensaver-demo is unable
to launch xscreensaver (e.g., when running as root), better error
handling when there are no suitable GL visuals, the new hacks "zoom"
and "whirlwindwarp", "-verbose" output that includes information about
which server extensions were supported at compile time, updated default
delays on the GL hacks that look better on machines with super-fast 3D
hardware, and a workaround for Red Hat 7.0's broken gcc 2.96. A
free-memory-reference bug in "sonar" and a bug that caused screenhack
argument changes to be ignored when xscreensaver-demo was running as
root (if "root" and "nobody" have different home directories) have been
fixed. The programs now default to ":0" if $DISPLAY is unset. Install
"screensaver-properties-capplet" to work around the usual egregious
GNOME lossage.

description:
CwMtx is a library written in C++ that provides the matrix and vector
operations that are used extensively in engineering and science
problems. A special feature of this library is the quaternion class
which implements quaternion math. Quaternions are very useful for
attitude determination in 3D space because they do not suffer from
singularities. Furthermore, successive rotations and transformations of
vectors can be accomplished by simple quaternion multiplication.
Attitude dynamics can be expressed in a very compact form using
quaternions
changes:
This release adds new constructors to CWTQuaternion that allow the
construction of a quaternion from its exponential form, a small bugfix
in vector norm computation, and links to examples of how the library
can be used.
