[001] - Argo/UML 0.11.2
by Thierry Lach (http://freshmeat.net/users/thierrylach/)
Wednesday, August 21st 2002 11:26
Text Editors :: Integrated Development Environments (IDE)
About: Argo/UML is a pure Java open source CASE tool that provides
cognitive support for object-oriented design. Argo/UML provides some of
the same editing and code generation features of a commercial CASE tool,
but it focuses on features that enhance usability and support the
cognitive needs of designers. Uses XML file formats: XMI and PGML.
Changes: This is a developer's release in preparation for version 0.12.
The inability to assign names to Collaborations was fixed. Importing a
class from another package now works. Reverse engineering no longer causes
a project to be marked as changed. Minor GUI corrections and enhancements
were made. The stereotypes for Packages & Model were corrected.
Disappearing modal dialogs and attribute display inconsistencies were
fixed. A problem with deleting diagrams was fixed. Several issues with
saving were resolved. An exception thrown when adding an attribute was
fixed. Garbled association text on a class diagram was fixed. Several code
generation issues were solved.

[002] - Auto-Reconnection ADSL Wanadoo 0.5
by shtrom (http://freshmeat.net/users/shtrom/)
Wednesday, August 21st 2002 01:04
System :: Networking
About: Auto-Reconnection ADSL Wanadoo is a set of scripts for
automatically reconnecting an ADSL Internet connection. It relaunches pppd
whenever the TCP or physical link is dead.
Changes: Added 4 scripts for controlling execution. It's now possible to
use pppoa3. The install script now saves existing files before overwriting
them.

[003] - AWOL 3.0
by topher1kenobe (http://freshmeat.net/users/topher1kenobe/)
Wednesday, August 21st 2002 11:16
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Office/Business
About: AWOL is an in/out board, similar to something you'd see on the wall
of a lobby or desk of a switchboard operator, to keep track of who's in
the building, when they'll be back, etc. It's accessable from the Web, so
people can mark themselves in or out from their own desk.
Changes: This release adds a new authentication system, permissions
levels, and much stronger personal information editing. It is almost a
complete rewrite.

[004] - BlackHole Spam/Virus Filter 0.9.142 (Stable)
by Chris Kennedy (http://freshmeat.net/users/getdown/)
Wednesday, August 21st 2002 11:19
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: Fixes were made in the config file reading code. A bug in charset
and attachment matching was fixed. Sendmail maildir support was fixed so
that sendmail can use it. The ./byz_scripts directory was added, and
contains scripts that use Bayesian classification. These scripts can be
used to gather lists of ranked words to use in the custom body check. This
sort of feature will eventually be built into blackhole.

About: CrashEcho is an FTN tosser for a node. It is derived from CrashMail
II. CrashEcho supports *.MSG (FTS-0001) and JAM message-bases, Binkley and
Amiga-style outbounds, passthrough tossing, built-in areafix, and request
forwarding.
Changes: Dupebase handling was rewritten. Some fixes were made in
reply-linking and areafix.

[007] - Cyrus IMAP Server 2.1.6
by Rob Siemborski (http://freshmeat.net/users/robsiemb/)
Wednesday, August 21st 2002 13:08
Communications :: Email :: Post-Office :: IMAP
Internet
About: The Cyrus IMAP server is generally intended to be run on sealed
systems, where normal users are not permitted to log in. The mailbox
database is stored in parts of the filesystem that are private to Cyrus.
All user access to mail is through the IMAP, POP3, or KPOP protocols. The
private mailbox database design gives the server large advantages in
efficiency, scalability, and administratability. Multiple concurrent
read/write connections to the same mailbox are permitted. The server
supports access control lists on mailboxes and storage quotas on mailbox
hierarchies, multiple SASL mechanisms, and the Sieve mail filtering
language.
Changes: This release includes cleanup of a number of memory and file
descriptor leaks, corrections in how strlcpy() is used, and locking
improvements for CREATE and RENAME operations.

[008] - ECLiPt SSH Shell 0.13
by Martin Preishuber (http://freshmeat.net/users/preisl/)
Wednesday, August 21st 2002 10:38
Desktop Environment :: Gnome
About: ECLiPt SSH Shell is a little graphical tool to startup ssh with
certain usernames & hosts.

[009] - EJB Benchmark 1.4
by urbancode sdi (http://freshmeat.net/users/urbancode/)
Wednesday, August 21st 2002 13:15
Software Development
Software Development :: Documentation
About: The goal of this EJB Benchmark is to provide some objective basis
for the hard design decisions every EJB development team has to make. It
is a study comparing the relative performance of six EJB design idioms.
You may be surprised to find that a flawed architecture of your EJB
application could lead to performance 120 times slower than that possible
with an appropriate architecture. This program is useful if you are having
performance troubles with your J2EE app.
Changes: This release tests a new Idiom (Container-Managed Entity Beans),
is coded to the EJB 2.0 specification, works with Weblogic 7.0, JBoss 3.0,
and Orion Server 1.6, and works with the Hypersonic database.

System :: Networking :: Monitoring
About: Ethereal is a network protocol analyzer, or "packet sniffer", that
lets you capture and interactively browse the contents of network frames.
The goal of the project is to create a commercial-quality packet analyzer
for Unix, and the most useful packet analyzer on any platform.
Changes: A buffer overflow in the ISIS dissector has been fixed. TCP
sequence number analysis has been added.

[012] - FireSite DR6 alpha
by dotvoid (http://freshmeat.net/users/dotvoid/)
Wednesday, August 21st 2002 04:23
Software Development
About: FireSite is a content management system in PHP targeted at web
developers needing a fixed framework for handling information and access
to that information. The access model is based on roles and users. The
system has an API to access information stored, hiding the access
management completely. Through modules it is easy to add handling of
specific information needs.
Changes: This development release features a GUI makeover, and is now more
consistent and easier to use. Work has started on better indexing and
search engine as well as a statistics module and a new, improved article
module. Additionally, a new Web site template to use with Firesite is
taking shape.

[014] - Gcount 0.5
by Scott Baker (http://freshmeat.net/users/muerte2/)
Wednesday, August 21st 2002 13:27
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
About: GCount is an attempt to make a solid Web-based counter completely
in PHP. It uses MySQL as its backend to store counter information, and the
GD library to slice up the images on thy fly and display them.
Changes: Agent detection has been drastically improved. This release
should be able to determine the browser/OS for more than 30 (Mac, Linux,
Windows, and other) known combinations, and guess fairly accurately at the
rest. The MySQL code now resides in one file (mysql.php) instead of having
a little piece in all the scripts. The table names have been changed, and
should be more clear now.

[015] - Gnometab 0.6.2
by Bill Guelker (http://freshmeat.net/users/wguelker/)
Wednesday, August 21st 2002 20:23
Desktop Environment :: Gnome
About: Gnometab aims to be a WYSIWYG guitar tablature editor. Its features
include copying and pasting of tablature passages, a chord library (which
the user must fill), the ability to create a variety of tablature symbols
specific to the guitar, and clean-looking printed output. It does not
attempt to be "smart", i.e. it does not know how many beats are in a
measure, nor does it know an E chord from an Am chord. Instead, the
emphasis has been on the appearance of the output.
Changes: This release adds a working print preview and zoom controls on
the main toolbar. Some RPM packages are now available.

[016] - GNU TeXmacs 1.0.0.15

Wednesday, August 21st 2002 10:57
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Browsers
Office/Business :: Office Suites
Scientific/Engineering
About: GNU TeXmacs is a free scientific text editor, which was inspired by
both TeX and GNU Emacs. The editor allows you to write structured
documents via a "wysiwyg" and user friendly interface. The program
implements high quality typesetting algorithms and TeX fonts. It is also
possible to use TeXmacs as an interface to computer algebra systems.
Finally, TeXmacs supports the Guile/Scheme extension language, which makes
it possible to adapt the user interface to specific needs, and even to
extend the editor.
Changes: Conversions to LaTeX no longer depend on the TeXmacs.sty style
file; TeXmacs-specific features are now included directly in the preamble
when needed. You may now use C-tab to circulate through alternatives for
the innermost block environment. The menus have been polished further, and
the menu generation is entirely done in Scheme.

[018] - GrabCartoons 1.2
by ZZamboni (http://freshmeat.net/users/zamboni/)
Wednesday, August 21st 2002 11:17
About: GrabCartoons is yet another comic-grabbing utility. It is modular,
and it is very easy to write modules for new comics. To avoid depriving
the comic Web sites from their hits, grabcartoons does not download a copy
of the images, but only generates a page with links to them.
Changes: A bug in the Sinfest module was fixed. One option was added
(--version) and one renamed (--html to --htmllist). Some minor changes to
the output header and footer were made. The search mechanism for modules
directories was improved.

by 1ovthafew (http://freshmeat.net/users/1ovthafew/)
Wednesday, August 21st 2002 01:11
Database
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
About: Hibernate is a powerful, high performance object/relational
persistence and query service for Java. It lets you develop persistent
objects following common Java idiom, including composition, association,
inheritance, polymorphism, and the Java collections framework. To allow a
rapid build procedure, Hibernate rejects the use of code generation or
bytecode processing. Instead, runtime reflection is used and SQL
generation occurs at system startup time. It supports Oracle, DB2, MySQL,
PostgreSQL, Sybase, Interbase, Microsoft SQL Server, Mckoi SQL, Progress,
SAP DB, and HypersonicSQL.
Changes: This version significantly refactored the core persistence engine
with improved outer-join fetching, collection fetching, collection
updates, and update batching. A new "bag" collection style was also added.

[025] - HTML.Template 0.1.0 (Development)
by BluesMoon (http://freshmeat.net/users/bluesmoon/)
Wednesday, August 21st 2002 16:30
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
About: HTML.Template is a Java package that lets you use HTML Templates in
your Java programs. Templates are simple HTML files with a few extra tags
representing variables, branches, and loops. Your Java program will
provide the values for these variables. It allows you to change the look
of your servlets without having to recompile them. HTML.Template aims to
be compatible with the HTML::Template Perl module.
Changes: This version now supports a hash table style constructor
parameter, and allows booleans and integers as constructor parameters, in
addition to Strings as before. The path parameter accepts a single string
as well as an array of strings. setParam now accepts int, boolean, integer
and boolean in addition to string. An interface for HTML.Template filters
has been added. A bug that prevented templates passed as a file handle
from working has been fixed, as well as one that prevented mixed-case
filenames in include parameters.

by Gerald Richter (http://freshmeat.net/users/richterg/)
Wednesday, August 21st 2002 01:14
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Software Development
About: Embperl gives you the power to embed Perl code in your HTML or
XML/XSLT documents and the ability to build your Web site out of small
reusable objects in an OO-style. It can also build taglibs and use
caching. You can also take advantage of hundreds of Perl modules which
have already been written for such tasks as database access to a growing
number of database systems. Embperl has several features especially useful
for creating HTML, including dynamic tables, formfield-processing,
escaping/unescaping, session handling, and more. Embperl is a server-side
tool, which means that it's browser-independent. It can run in various
ways: under mod_perl, as a CGI script, or offline.
Changes: Fine tuning and bugfixes, and support for mod_perl 2.0 with
prefork MPM (threaded MPM will require Perl 5.8.0). Documentation has been
improved, but some features are still only documented in README.v2.

can also use it as if it were a standard Auth-class, using a call to
"isLoggedIn" on every page that shall be protected.
Changes: The package can now be installed using the pear installer.
Support was added for LDAP, NIS, IMAP, and POP3. The setData method now
also takes an array for adding more data at once. Some minor fixes and

[064] - RabbIT 2.0.19
by Ernimril (http://freshmeat.net/users/ernimril/)
Wednesday, August 21st 2002 10:49
Internet :: Proxy Servers
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
About: RabbIt is the mutating, caching webproxy which is used to speed up
surfing over slow links like modems. It does this by removing advertising
and background images and scaling down images to low quality JPEGs. RabbIT
is written in Java and should be able to run on any platform. It does
depend upon an image converter if imagescaleing is on. The recommended
image converter is "convert" from the ImageMagick package.
Changes: This release adds checks for min-fresh in requests, handling for
Max-Forwards for TRACE and OPTIONS requests, more handling of Connection
headers and quoted tokens, more handling of cache controls like max-stale
and proxy-revalidate, and more minor fixes for HTTP compliance and
no-cache directives.

baudrate setting), changes the date format in all places to YY-MM-DD or
YYYY-MM-DD, fixes a bug in mode=ascii which caused the seconds of a
timestamp to be wrong, fixes trailing Fs in MSISDN numbers with odd
digits, removes timestamps from the log message "SMS received, From....",
and adds a new alarm and log message for "SMS sent, To...".
