applications, an object-oriented C library which covers and enhances the
ALSA kernel driver functionality for applications (client/server, plugins,
PCM sharing/multiplexing, PCM metering, etc.), an interactive configuration
program for the driver, and some simple utilities for basic management.
Changes: The application interfaces were stabilized and a lot of bugs were
fixed. Support for IA64, CS4236, ENS1371, ICE1712 (EWS88MT and EWS 88D),
CMIPCI. YMFPCI, MPU401, and AC'97 has been improved. The reference
documentation was completed.

[008] - Bpatch 0.1
by Jean Delvare (http://freshmeat.net/users/khali/)
Monday, July 23rd 2001 18:51
About: Bpatch is a really simple and limited binary patching engine. It
reads the output of 'cmp -l' and applies the modifications to a target
file. Due to 'cmp -l' limitations, Bpatch doesn't handle file size
differences, which makes it useless in most situations.

[010] - Chordpack 0.8.1 (Beta)
by Halef (http://freshmeat.net/users/halef/)
Monday, July 23rd 2001 15:01
Category: Other/Nonlisted Topic
About: Chordpack is a tool written in Perl, whose purpose is to typeset
song-books/songs written in chordpro format. The typesetting is done using
typepesetting system TeX using macro package LaTeX. Chordpack has ambition
to do whatever you might want to do with songs in chordpro format.
Chordpack currently can generate LaTeX source of songs/songbook,
generate HTML version of songs/songbook, generate ASCII version of
songs/songbook, generate ASCII version of songs/songbook omitting chords,
transpose chordpro song to desired key, take ordinary ASCII notation of
song with chords, and output almost chordpro version. Chordpack features
four styles of chord setting, three styles of song titles setting, an
option to chose one or two columns, an option to chose fonts sizes,
on-the-fly transposition to a key with minimum difficult chords (as an
option), and other features. Chordpack does not currently set chord
diagrams.
Changes: This release has less "underfull box" and "overfull box" LaTeX
warning messages (they were quite harmless anyway). The width of songtitle
rules and tabulatures has been slightly improved.

[012] - Courier 0.35
by Sam Varshavchik (http://freshmeat.net/users/mrsam/)
Monday, July 23rd 2001 02:54
Categories: Communications :: Email :: Mail Transport Agents,
Communications :: Email :: Post-Office
About: Courier is an integrated ESMTP, IMAP, POP3, and webmail server,
designed to provide mail services with aggressive spam filtering. A mail
filtering API defines site-wide and recipient-specific mail filters that
are applied during mail transport, instead of only after the unwanted mail
has already been received. Courier also includes a UUCP gateway, and a
mailing list manager.
Changes: The "webadmin" module now allows Courier
configuration/administration to be done from a Web browser, and a separate
webmail password file is no longer needed - changing the webmail password
updates the "real" account password (in the LDAP directory, a MySQL table,
or the system password file).

Monday, July 23rd 2001 03:01
About: The :Cue:Cat is a little barcode reader that RadioShack distributes
for free with their new barcoded product catalog. It connects on a PS/2
keyboard, mouse, or USB port and sends codes when it scans a barcode
successfully. This driver watches scancodes on any of those ports and
decodes the ones coming from the :Cue:Cat. When it decodes a barcode
successfully, it sends it in human-readable form on /dev/scanners/cuecat.
As well as a kernel driver patch against Linux 2.4.0, a utility called
CueAct is included which can read barcodes from the CueCat driver and look
up relevant information from the Internet.

ipchains/iptables firewall rulesets. In addition, for the 2.4.x kernels
psad incorporates many of the TCP signatures included in Snort to detect
highly suspect scans for various backdoor programs (e.g. EvilFTP,
GirlFriend, SubSeven), DDoS tools (mstream, shaft), and advanced port scans
(syn, fin, Xmas) which are easily leveraged against a machine via nmap.
Changes: A separate monitoiring daemon "psadwatchd" to monitor both psad
and kmsgsd, support for multiple email address reporting, and a debugging
mode for psad have all been added. A bug where multiple scanned hosts were
not being reported has been fixed.

[066] - pptp_mxstream 1.0.3-2.0
by sphaero (http://freshmeat.net/users/sphaero/)
Monday, July 23rd 2001 07:57
About: pptp_mxstream is based on pptp-1.0.3-rk2, to be used to connect to
MxStream in The Netherlands (it can also be used for normal pptp). It is
capable of being started by pppd as opposed to pptp starting pppd, which
means you can use the advantages of pppd (i.e., the persist option).
Changes: This release includes a SysV script to control the connection, and
changes to directory locations to be compliant with the Linux Standard Base
1.0.

[067] - pyMine 2.0
by Gandalf (http://freshmeat.net/users/Ulogov/)
Monday, July 23rd 2001 11:17
About: pyMine is a truly distributed data mining tool that allows you to
create a database on top of a database or Beowulf server cluster. Each
database server handle only a piece of the database and clients run the
queries in parallel threads. pyMine is written in Python, and it requires
the PyGreSQL module. pyMine can be used on a single node for development
purposes, but its full power is only realized in a system consisting of at
least two database servers and two query servers.
Changes: This version focuses on "multimachine" or "cluster" installations.

[069] - rpm-get 1.1
by Billy Wideling (http://freshmeat.net/users/CodeAlien/)
Monday, July 23rd 2001 11:40
About: rpm-get is a simple clone of apt-get for RPM. This little
application will let you download, install, upgrade, or remove RPM
packages/sources as well as upgrade the entire distribution with ease.
Changes: S.u.S.E. support was removed. Mandrake/RedHat compatibility was
improved. All instances of 'if [ "foo" = "bar" ]' were changed to 'if [
"foo" == "bar" ]'. mklists was renamed to genrpmlist. The default cache
directory was properly set to /var/cache/rpm-get, and the default database
directory was set to /var/lib/rpm-get. The auto-configure was removed from
the spec file so that the RPM package won't start to generate the databases
on install. A bug in generating the databases was fixed.

[070] - Samba 2.2.1a (2.2)
by Bernard Biesterbos (http://freshmeat.net/users/bernardbie/)
Monday, July 23rd 2001 21:18
About: The Samba software suite is a collection of programs that implements
the SMB protocol for unix systems, allowing you to serve files and printers
to Windows, NT, OS/2 and DOS clients. This protocol is sometimes also

PDC using the smbpasswd -a -m method; using the automated Windows tools to
add machines into a Samba domain works with 2.2.1 and there is no need to
upgrade unless you need the older functionality.

[079] - User-mode Linux 0.44-2.4.7 (Development)
by Jeff Dike (http://freshmeat.net/users/jdike/)
Monday, July 23rd 2001 08:07
Category: System :: Operating System Kernels :: Linux
About: User-Mode Linux lets you run Linux inside Linux. It is a safe,
secure way of running Linux versions and Linux processes. Run buggy
software, experiment with new Linux kernels or distributions, and poke
around in the internals of Linux, all without risking your main Linux
setup. User-Mode Linux gives you a virtual machine that may have more
hardware and software virtual resources than your actual, physical
computer. You can assign your virtual machine only the hardware access you
want it to have. With properly limited access, nothing you do on the
virtual machine can change or damage your real computer or its software.
Changes: This release updates to 2.4.7, a UML .deb is now availbale, the
block driver now supports a read/write COW layer above a shared read-only
filesystem, I/O memory emulation was added, block devices and network
interfaces are now pluggable, and various bugs have been fixed.

About: Waveform Editor is a program that lets you create sets of
frequency-amplitude envelopes using a GTK GUI, and play them with your
soundcard. In layman's terms, this program lets you make cool sounds by
simply pointing and clicking. This is somewhat similar to what some
digital sythesizers are able do.
Changes: The problem with the default length staying at 44100 has been
fixed. A feature to make a copy of an envelope has been added. The option
of using Half-cosine interpolation rather than linear interpolation has
been added. Wavetable is now used instead of using sin() directly.
