performance, an HTTP/1.1 implementation, CGI support, a nice configuration
system, name-based virtual hosts, server side includes, authentication,
gzip content encoding support, Apache combined format and MySQL logging,
and many advanced features.
Changes: Support for HTTP resume, wildcard vhosts, and mod_bsp for serving
BrainF*ck server pages were added. Minor bugfixes and small cleanups,
speedups, and enhancements were made.

Wednesday, August 7th 2002 12:55
Database :: Front-Ends
About: Autotabla is a CGI interface to a collection of SQL tables. Only a
simple XML description of the database schema (table names, fields, etc.)
must be provided, and all table maintenance can then be done from a Web
page.
Changes: A script for automatic trigger generation for serial number
fields in Oracle databases was added. Several bugs which made the program
not work with Perl versions lower than 5.6 (5.003) were fixed.

[005] - BINS photo album 1.1.13
by Jérôme SAUTRET (http://freshmeat.net/users/zubro/)
Wednesday, August 7th 2002 23:08
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Graphics Conversion
About: BINS is a valid HTML 4 photo album generator with support for
internationalization, EXIF, and customizable charset encoding, including
UTF-8 (Unicode). Albums can contains other sub-albums. The appearance of
the album can be fully personalized by using template and configuration
parameters. The number and size of scaled pictures can be chosen in pixels
or percentage of the original image. Several description fields (date,
location, etc.) can be associated with the pictures, and you can add
additional description fields. A command line utility or a GTK+ GUI can be
used to set or edit description fields. BINS can use the EXIF data
structure found in some pictures to automatically fill some fields (most
notably, date and time) and to produce a page providing all information
available on the picture, as well as the DigiCam settings when the photo
was taken. All image meta-data are stored in XML files.
Changes: It is now possible to use the sizes parameter in picture
description files to have different scaled images number and scaled sizes
for pictures in the same album. Some other parameters can now also be used
on a per image basis. A bug introduced in 1.1.10 version that caused
scaleIfSameSize parameter to be always 1 has been corrected. jpegtran can
now be used even if it cannot handle the same file in input and output. An
encoding problem on creation date has also been corrected.

[007] - BlackHole Spam/Virus Filter 0.9.128 (Stable)
by Chris Kennedy (http://freshmeat.net/users/getdown/)
Wednesday, August 7th 2002 12:38
Communications :: Email
Communications :: Email :: Filters
Security
About: Blackhole Spam/Virus Filter provides spam and virus filtering using
dot-files in all the major MTA/SMTP servers for UNIX and similar systems.
It is easy for an individual user to set it up with shell account access
and configure. It is different from other, similar programs, in that it
executes a minimal number of programs to do the filtering, is able to use
a MySQL database for the users' configuration files, can be set up as the
queue in Qmail, and have virtual users' configuration files be found using
the username/domain for the recipient. Multiple checks are available, and
there open options on how to treat flagged email. There is logging to
multiple entities, auto-expiration of flagged email, and scoring available
so that multiple checks require matches that add up before blocking.
Changes: This release has optional arguments for clamscan to decompress
attachments, and it is easy to change the command line for McAfee and
ClamScan now. An option has been added to execute a program when a
threshold is met, either with the max score or just for any spam (can be
set up through each individual spam action), to run with the args
'iprelay' and 'msg_file'. You can create a program to parse that info and
do what you want. This would be good for reporting spam to RBL lists when
matching the pattern checks, etc., while not being on the RBL lists.

[010] - cgipaf 1.1.0RC2 (Development)
by staf (http://freshmeat.net/users/stafwag/)
Wednesday, August 7th 2002 12:49
Communications :: Email
About: cgipaf is a combination of three CGI programs. passwd.cgi, which
allow users to update their password, viewmailcfg.cgi, which allows users
to view their current mail configuration, and mailcfg.cgi, which updates
the mail configuration. All programs use PAM for user authentication. It
is possible to run a script to update SAMBA passwords or NIS configuration
when a password is changed. mailcfg.cgi creates a .procmailrc in the
user's home directory. A user with too many invalid logins can be locked.
The minimum and maximum UID can be set in the configuration file, so you
can specify a range of UIDs that are allowed to use cgipaf.
Changes: This release has the ability to list words in the configuration
file that are not allowed to be part of new passwords. A run_after_mailcfg
bug has been fixed.

About: DataVision is a database reporting tool similar to Crystal Reports,
written in Java. Multiple database backends (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle,
ODBC) and frontends (LaTeX, XML, comma- and tab-separated data files,
DocBook, and HTML) are supported. DataVision uses XML files to describe
reports.
Changes: There are many new formula operators: floor, ceil, round, sqrt,
pow, **, max, min, abs, sin, cos, and tan. Images can now be manipulated
in the GUI. Hidden images appear disabled in the GUI. In the format
window, system font names are presented in a drop down menu. It will now
print all pages of the report, not just the page being displayed in the
Swing report output window. This means it's back to ugly output, though.
Fields' font names are now loaded into the format window. Page layouts
(paper sizes and orientation) should work when printing.

documentation are available.
Changes: This release focuses on bugfixes and performance improvements.
The File Transfer Library (a separate download) has been updated, and now
offers both upload and download capabilities. A new, experimental
"StackedPane" component is useful when creating applications that use a
hierarchal navigation system.

Wednesday, August 7th 2002 23:31
Communications :: Email
Communications :: Email :: Email Clients (MUA)
Communications :: Email :: Post-Office :: IMAP
About: OfflineIMAP is a tool to simplify email reading. It allows you to
read the same mailbox from multiple computers and ensures that your
changes will be automatically reflected on all computers. You can use
various mail clients to read a single box or read mail while offline with
full synchronization when you reconnect. You can read IMAP mail with
readers that lack IMAP support (same goes for SSL). OfflineIMAP's
multithreaded synchronization algorithm performs between 10 and 60 times
faster than many mail readers' internal IMAP support, and it can be used
even with mail readers that support IMAP already. There are five available
user interface modules, including scripted execution, an interactive
terminal interface, and GUI interfaces.
Changes: This version of OfflineIMAP now supports hierarchically-nested
Maildir folders (i.e., with a separator of "/"). There is also better
handling of read-only folders, which posed a problem for some people
previously. Scrolling behavior is better now, with a fix for a bug where
sometimes the log window would stop scrolling. There are also some extra
sanity checks.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries
About: QWN is a system for authoring Web site news via a user friendly Web
interface. It has been designed to have as low server requirements as
possible: output is created as static HTML, such that users can view news
without using any more resources than any other page, and the database
used is a simple text file, so no database servers are required. It also
supports multiple users and projects, so you can create different projects
for different news areas and then create users to be assigned roles of
administrators, editors, or authors for each project. This is ideal for a
small, one-man Web site as well as for use in larger sites for creating
multiple user 'communities'.
Changes: Single user support has been added. This is a mode which, when
set in the new site options files, removes all the multiple user and
authentication support. Therefore, the user is left with a much simpler
system, ideal for sites where there is only one author. Additionally, work
has been done on ensuring consistent response in the event of errors, and
many bugs have been fixed.

Communications
Communications :: BBS
Communications :: Conferencing
About: The RealizationEngine is a Web-based group communication tool which
presents information in a highly intuitive, time-delineated style. It
allows authorized individuals to have access to information, which can be
compartmentalized, restricted, or published openly, all from the same
system. Ideas are coherently threaded, and every message is searchable in
a single location, and in the context of the messages related to it. Being
a "closed system", the RealizationEngine eliminates spam, and still makes
the information available to users or visitors as appropriate even when
they are away from their "home" computer. The RealizationEngine can be
accessed from any Web browser or Web-enabled device, and can be integrated
with SSL when secure connections are required. The server requires a Web
server, MySQL, Perl, DBI, Digest::MD5, POSIX, and CGI.pm.
Changes: The username at login is no longer case sensitive. More CSS is
used. More informaion is displayed on screen. Congestion was reduced.
Multiple page search results are now possible. Expanded link information
is now displayed when hovering over a link. The 'preview' screen was
cleaned up. The page location indication for multi-page folders and search
results was enhanced. In the administration interface, context was added
to the "display user summary" button, user e-mail and link in user
summary. A trap was added for quotes in link titles when posting new
messages. A bug in indicating session messages at compression level '4'
was fixed.

System
System :: Archiving
About: The file renaming utilities (renameutils for short) are a set of
programs designed to make renaming of multiple files faster and less
cumbersome. It currently consists of two programs: "qmv" and "imv". qmv
allows files to be renamed by editing their names in any text editor.
Since the files are listed after each other, this allows common changes to
be made more quickly. imv ("interactive mv") is trivial but useful when
you are too lazy to type (or even complete) the name of the file to
rename. It allows the filename to be edited in the terminal using the GNU
readline library. This is also useful when renaming files in Midnight
Commander, where the whole filename has to be entered again.
Changes: Autowidth for dual-column is now enabled by default (really). An
"Illegal instruction" crash with "-fdc -oseparate" was fixed.

Scientific/Engineering :: Artificial Intelligence
Scientific/Engineering :: Mathematics
About: RISO is an implementation of heterogeneous, distributed belief
networks in Java. A belief network is a probability model defined on an
acyclic directed graph; distributed means nodes can be on different hosts,
and heterogeneous means allowing different conditional distributions. The
calculations involved are multidimensional integrations; exact results are
known for a catalog of special cases. If a partial result cannot be
calculated as a special case from the catalog, RISO computes an
approximate result by numerical integration. Partial results are passed
from one node in the graph to another as messages; if nodes live on
different hosts, the belief network is said to be distributed. Messages
are passed via RMI. Many example belief networks and lengthy documents are
included in the RISO release bundle.
