[007] - Cymbaline 0.9b
by rainy (http://freshmeat.net/users/rainy/)
Wednesday, July 25th 2001 04:07
About: Cymbaline is a console mp3 player with weighted lists. Each track
has a score associated with it. Scores can be used in several ways: random
mode will play tracks with high scores more often; you can skip to the next
track with high score; you can set a threshold so that only tracks with
certain score (or higher) will be played. Scores are changed based on
listening patterns (skipping a track decreases the score, playing complete
track increases it), but may be also set manually. Additionally, cymbaline
uses an original album-oriented playlist (you can skip to the next album,
start playing specific album, etc). Cymbaline also allows easy searching on
a playlist.
Changes: Since the last announcement, weighted playlists were added (i.e.
it learns your tastes and can be told to play only favourite songs).
Cymbaline now works with python 2.0+. Multiple bugs have been fixed (see
CHANGES file), and there's limited support now for ogg and mod files.

by Emil Ong (http://freshmeat.net/users/eboatanl/)
Wednesday, July 25th 2001 18:43
Categories: Scientific/Engineering, Software Development :: Libraries
About: MPI Ruby is a Ruby binding of MPI. The primary goal in making this
binding was to make the power of MPI available to Ruby users in a way that
fits into the language's object oriented model. In order to do this, the
buffer and datatype management necessary in the C, C++, and Fortran
bindings have been removed. What this means is that MPI Ruby allows you
to treat objects as messages. MPI Ruby also aims to be a complete binding
to MPI, in that it offers access to nearly all functionality of MPI.
Changes: Fixes to the build and configure system, new examples and
documentation, and some fixes in the binding itself.

[046] - SANTK 2.1
by University of Minnesota Fibre Channel Research Group
(http://freshmeat.net/users/umfc/)
Wednesday, July 25th 2001 14:20
About: SANTK (Storage Area Network Configuration Toolkit) is a toolkit
written in Java 1.3 to better facilitate SAN design and development. The
major areas of difficulty in SAN design lie in the architecture of the SANs
themselves. Scalability, network complexity, and netlist management become
cumbersome as the number of nodes in the network increases. In order to
address these problems, it is necessary to be able to dynamically design
and record the topology of a network. The purpose of the SANTK is to assist
in resolving these issues.
Changes: This release has the ability to add Targets and Initiators to the
manual tool, allowing the user to completely develop a SAN in a CAD
environment. The user may now export the entire SAN to the automatic tool,
including Targets and Initiators. New devices available in this version
include 32 and 64 port switches, 1, 2, 4 and 8 port Targets, and 1 and 2
port Initiators. Device sizes may be changed at any time as well. An
HTML-based help system was created. If the user selects the help option,
the default Web browser is launched with the first of several detailed help
files.

[047] - seven's IPtables script 1.5
by seven (http://freshmeat.net/users/seventje/)
Wednesday, July 25th 2001 12:31
Category: System :: Networking :: Firewalls
About: seven's IPtables script features extensive logging of all connection
attempts, user-definable log-levels, protection against various DoS
attacks, detection of multiple portscan types, user-defined trusted hosts,
and user-defined "open"-ports.
Changes: Some issues with the order of the rules were fixed. Specifically,
hosts explicitly blocked could still go through the firewall if the
connection was established or related. The 10 items problem concerning the
variables was fixed. A nasty typo which screwed up a lot of code from
blockhosts, trusthosts, and openports was fixed. A variable that allows you
to choose between UDP/TCP "open"-ports was added. The order of some code
was changed: previously, the root check was performed after the modprobe.

technology. "Compiler" focus on Tcl and C, with the possibility to add
additional languages.
Changes: The package tool was updated with user-interface improvements and
bug fixes. Another action mode was added to the find/grep/change tool. The
main distribution is now smaller because more parts were separated as
"Plugins", including CctPerf, CctTest, CctFind, TkCon, and TclReadline. A
new "CompTest" tool is now available for testing the compatibilty of
"PowerTcl" with traditional Tcl. The new "CompPerf" tool is now available
for testing the speed improvements of "PowerTcl" against traditional Tcl.
The user interface was cleaned up. Small bugs from beta1 were fixed.
