Office/Business :: Groupware
About: Achievo is a Web-based project management and tracking tool for
small- to medium-sized companies, aiming to become a fully featured
ERP-like system in the future. Features include a time registration module
with several statistical tools. Achievo is multi-language, fully
customizable, and uses a modular system to allow future extensions.
Changes: A vulnerability was discovered that could allow persons to
execute arbitrary code on any Web server that runs Achievo versions 0.7 to
0.9.1. This release fixes the vulnerability. If your Achievo installation
is accessible from the Internet, upgrading is highly recommended.

[003] - Aegis 4.8
by Peter Miller (http://freshmeat.net/users/pmiller/)
Thursday, August 22nd 2002 02:34
Software Development :: Build Tools
Software Development :: Testing
Software Development :: Version Control
About: Aegis is a transaction-based software configuration management
system. It provides a framework within which a team of developers may work
on many changes to a program independently, and Aegis coordinates
integrating these changes back into the master source of the program, with
as little disruption as possible. Aegis supports geographically
distributed development.
Changes: A bug has been fixed in the aetar -receive command, where it
incorrectly complained about short input files. A bug has been fixed in
the aeimport(1) command; the symptom was that the aecp -delta command
misbehaved. A bug has been fixed in the aepatch -send command, where it
would add Index lines for files with no differences.

[004] - Alist 0.3.1
by paul farrall (http://freshmeat.net/users/pfarrall/)
Thursday, August 22nd 2002 02:30
System
System :: Systems Administration
About: Alist is a program that collects hardware and software information
about systems and stores it in a database for users to browse and search
via a Web interface. The program consists of three parts: a client portion
that collects the information, a daemon that receives data sent from
clients, and a CGI that displays and lets you search for information.
Clients for Solaris, Linux, FreeBsd, OpenBSD, and Mac OS X are currently
available.
Changes: This release includes syntax changes to get Alist to run under
Perl 5.004. It removes the -I switch and replaces it with a Begin block
that modifies 
INC, replaces the bareword hash key values with quoted
ones, replaces zero look behind assertion in split() regex in split_line()
sub with ordinary regex, adds a check for old versions of Perl and reports
the Perl version in output, and disables Posix values for old versions of
Perl. This module is not included in 5.004.

[009] - AppWrap 0.03
by PlanetMan (http://freshmeat.net/users/PlanetMan/)
Thursday, August 22nd 2002 19:55
Database :: Front-Ends
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries
Office/Business :: Groupware
About: AppWrap is a self-organizing Web site using a Web GUI frontend to a
backend database. It is intended for companies wanting to manage mildly
dynamic data online without the labor of hand-coding and managing multiple
CGI forms, or the expense of CRM systems. Users can input and edit data,
view, sort and filter it onscreen, download it, chart it, calendar it, and
track changes. Administrators can quickly add data tables to the site
using a provided script; this script populates reasonable default values
in the meta-data tables. After running the script admins can customize
onscreen appearance by modifying the default values. All changes to
onscreen appearance are made by changing values in the meta-data tables.
Changes: This release concentrated on improving the installation process.
Production code was repackaged for a make-based installation. If
prerequisites (mod_perl, MSQL, PHP helpful for running phpMyAdmin, but
this is not essential) are already installed, then "perl Makefile.PL &&
make && make install" will install the distribution, and then you upload
the included demo database and start the server. Lots of documentation was
also included (both in the demo db, and as POD).

full power of the library.
Changes: In this release, dynamic strings have been optimized and
thoroughly tested. Compared to MFC CString class, PTypes dynamic strings
now show much better performance. A bug was fixed in decodedate(). This
function worked incorrectly for the last day (12/31) of each leap year in
all previous versions. A sample compile-time module for wshare, which
responds to http://hostname/.about requests, is included.

by Keybuk (http://freshmeat.net/users/keybuk/)
Thursday, August 22nd 2002 03:12
Communications
Communications :: Chat :: Internet Relay Chat
Internet
About: dircproxy is an IRC proxy server ("bouncer") designed for people
who use IRC from lots of different workstations or clients, but wish to
remain connected and see what they missed while they were away. You
connect to IRC through dircproxy, and it keeps you connected to the
server, even after you detach your client from it. While you're detached,
it logs channel and private messages as well as important events, and when
you reattach it'll download those logs to you using ordinary IRC protocol.
Changes: Signals are now handled in a more reentrant way to prevent any
zombie/defunct processes. The DCC error messages were improved. There is a
new logging infrastructure, the internal log directory name generation was
fixed so that different connections' logs don't occasionally get merged,
private messages are now internally logged and recalled separately, and
for your own permanent copy they are logged in files named after the
nickname rather than all together.

Thursday, August 22nd 2002 02:43
Desktop Environment
System :: Networking
Terminals
About: DIET-PC (DIskless Embedded Technology Personal Computer) is an
open source software kit that enables IT professionals to build generic
or special-purpose thin clients based on commodity x86 PC hardware, using
an embedded Linux methodology. Supported protocols include X11/XDMCP,
ICA, RDP, and RFB.
Changes: The major improvement in this release is management of multiple
embedded GUI applications, either concurrently (using minimalist window
manager "evilwm"), or on an operating mode (runlevel separation) basis.
Other improvements are largely concerned with initrd footprint reduction
and improved security. DIET-PC now runs comfortably in 24 Mb of RAM in
most cases. All embedded applications (apart from the X server) now run as
an unprivileged user, to reduce exposure of the thin client's Linux OS.

Thursday, August 22nd 2002 12:03
Communications :: File Sharing
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries
About: Drall is a script which allows users to access their directories
and files remotely without the need of using insecure FTP and telnet. It
enables the user to treat the remote file system as if it was on their
local hard disk through a normal Web browser. The interface resembles the
well known Norton Commander and Midnight Commander. Single or dual-panel
views makes it easy to see an overview of the file system and the modular
design means you only use the features you need. Drall is written in Perl
for easy customization and expansion.
Changes: This is the fifth stable release. A patch from the last patch
release is available.

Thursday, August 22nd 2002 02:27
Database
Database :: Front-Ends
Software Development :: Code Generators
About: DWI (Data With Interaction) is a simple RAD (rapid application
development) system for quickly creating data-driven applications: that
is, graphical apps that manipulate and show info from an SQL database. It
Uses XML and GNOME Glade for the GUI designer.
Changes: This release provides support for a generic database login
dialog. This dialog is written in DWI itself, and so is an example of DWI
'bootstrapping'. This feature requires the use of glib-2.0 gobjects.
Unfortunately, glib-2.0 can occasionally conflict with some GTK 1.4
widgets, leading to difficulties in certain cases. (Of course, this won't
be a problem when DWI is ported to the full GNOME 2.0 interfaces.)

Thursday, August 22nd 2002 13:25
Communications :: Email :: Filters
About: MessageWall is an SMTP proxy. It sits between the outside world and
your mail server and keeps out viruses, spam, and mail relaying. It offers
filtering via header and body checks, DNS-based blacklists for IP
addresses (DNSBL) and domains (RHSBL), DNS-based distributed checksumming
(DNS DCC) similar to Vipul's Razor, and Open AntiVirus pattern scanning.
Unlike many existing ISP-level filtering solutions, it offers
customization of filtering features on a per-address basis. Unlike
SpamAssassin, it communicates via SMTP, so it works with any MTA. It also
supports scoring based on rules with a rejection threshold; this allows
hybrid warning/rejection configurations based on how many and which rules
a message matches.
Changes: There is an SMTP dequoting bugfix, code cleanups, and a warning
upon inability to read a profile.

[060] - Network Equipment Performance Monitor 1.0
by jimesh (http://freshmeat.net/users/jimesh/)
Thursday, August 22nd 2002 22:06
Internet :: Log Analysis
System :: Archiving
System :: Logging
About: NEPM monitors and reports uptime, critical events and their
predecessors, access rates, bytes-served rates, and error rates for
network node equipment. Hardware and software elements within the nodes
are tracked and reported separately to make possible rapid fault
isolation. It is a very general, highly configurable, two-part software
system that captures and analyzes logged performance data from
IP-networked equipment and reports it via email and Web pages. Current
conditions and history from systems based on Windows NT/2000, Unix, and
Unix-style operating systems can be tracked and reported. Most major
server, switch and router systems can be monitored, without running agents
on the target systems. NEPM itself is system-independent and can be hosted
on either a Unix or Win NT system or a combination of these with equal
ease.
Changes: This release adds minor bugfixes and usability fixes at the close
of beta testing.

Communications :: Usenet News
About: Newsstar fetches news and posts it to a local news server: INN,
s-news, and sn are supported. What makes newsstar special is that it can
make multiple simultaneous connections, not only to one server, but to
several, supporting up to 10 "threads". Before fetching each article, it
checks that it hasn't already been downloaded by another thread or in a
previous session. It can also "pipeline" article requests to make better
use of available bandwidth.
Changes: This release fixes a bug related to duplicating NULL strings and
corrects the macros used when curses isn't supported.

by Juerd (http://freshmeat.net/users/Juerd/)
Thursday, August 22nd 2002 10:54
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Software Development :: Interpreters
About: PLP is yet another Perl embedder, primarily for HTML documents.
Unlike with other Perl embedders, there is no need to learn a meta-syntax
or object model: one can just use the normal Perl constructs. PLP runs
under mod_perl for speeds comparable to those of PHP, but can also be run
as a CGI script.
Changes: More cleanups were made. %get is now built when a script starts,
instead of when it is first accessed. $r->print is used now under mod_perl
instead of print. Small documentation fixes were made. Setting a header
when headers are already sent now tells you where output started, which
makes debugging easier. Several speedups were made.

table relations and descriptive information), an HTML form for further
detailed information, and Docbook 4.1 style XML for inclusion with project
documentation as an appendix. It works on any 7.x PostgreSQL-based
database.
Changes: This release implements schemas and other new features of
Postgresql 7.3. GraphViz output patches and HTML markup patches have been
applied. Documentation for functions, and database comments have been
added to the Docbook output. The Docbook output was changed to create a
book rather than an appendix. Comments beginning with DOCBOOK are not
escaped, which allows complex Docbook structures stored as DB comments.

Software Development :: Quality Assurance
About: SLOCCount is a suite of programs for counting physical source lines
of code (SLOC) in possibly large software systems. It can count physical
SLOC for a wide number of languages. It can take a large set of files and
automatically categorize their types using a number of different
heuristics, and also comes with analysis tools.
Changes: This version adds support for Standard ML (as language "ml"), and
now recognizes ".hh" as C++. ".inc" files are now examined to determine if
they are Pascal or PHP (before they were assumed to be PHP). Pascal
detection has improved. A bug in handling many PHP files in one package
was fixed. SLOCCount had problems with files including CR and other weird
characters at the end of the filename; this is now fixed.

[075] - Smtpblock 2.7
by David Bellizzi (http://freshmeat.net/users/dbelliz/)
Thursday, August 22nd 2002 13:59
Communications :: Email :: Mail Transport Agents
About: Smtpblock is a tool that parses your UNIX mail log. When new mail
messages are detected, it performs DNSBL/SMTP relay tests. If the host is
listed in a DNSBL or relays third-party mail, Smtpblock creates a firewall
rule to block access to the localhost's SMTP port and/or creates a hash
that can be referenced by sendmail's RFC-822 pattern matching feature. It
keeps track of each host's test status and time when it will need to be
rechecked, reducing the need to constantly check every host sending mail
to the local system. Smtpblock can be run as a daemon continuously
checking the mail log or as a standalone program parsing the entire log
file. Hosts can be manually checked, blocked, or unblocked from the
command line.
Changes: This release fixes typos in the smtpblock.conf file, updates the
FAQ documentation procedures for restarting smtpblock after log rotation,
and removes unneeded SIGCHLD code and unneeded code from the
smtpblock_makehash.sh file.

Communications
Internet
System :: Networking
About: sonar is a network reconnaissance utility. It runs all its scans
from plugins. The currently supported plugins are an ICMP scan (a la the
original sonar) and an ACK scan which can see if hosts that don't respond
to ICMP are online. With the ability to create your own plugins, sonar is
becoming the most extensible security scanner available.
Changes: This release fixes a few annoying bugs. It should still compile
on Solaris; if not, check the project page's helpdesk for a Solaris patch
soon. Also, the ICMP scan has been made more versatile. It now allows you
to choose an ICMP type (echo by default) and an ICMP code (0 by default).
Upgrading is recommended.

About: The poldek is an RPM package management tool which allows you to
easily perform package verification, installation (including system
installation from scratch), upgrading, and removal. Package dependencies
are automatically handled, so if you try to install a package that needs
others to be installed, it will download all needed packages and install
them. It can be used in batch (like apt-get from Debian's APT) or
interactive mode. The interactive mode puts you into a readline interface
with commandline autocompletion and history, similar to the shell mode of
Perl's CPAN.

Thursday, August 22nd 2002 09:55
Other/Nonlisted Topic
About: TreeLine is used to organize and store text data in a tree
structure. It is well suited to keeping track of many different types of
information. Each node of the tree can contain several defined fields,
forming a mini-database. The format of each node can be defined, and the
output can be shown on the screen, printed, or exported to HTML. The tree
structure is navigated and edited in the left pane of the window, while
various views of the child data are shown and editable in the right pane.
The data is stored in XML text files. TreeLine is based on the PyQt
library.
Changes: Data fields can now be formatted as specific types, including
long text, numbers, dates, times, and boolean values. Individual fields
can be specified as plain text or HTML. Line breaks are preserved in plain
text mode. Fields can be assigned prefixes and suffixes that do not
display for blank fields. Some options are now saved with the file instead
of being global. Node titles are truncated after the first line of text
data. Node types can be set conditionally. Finally, a new option sets the
number of lines in a long text edit field.

Internet
About: VOS (Virtual Object System) is a hierachical distributed object
system. It is an infrastructure for object-oriented network communication
and building distributed object networks. The protocol is XML-based and
extensible, and features a simple, yet powerful, variable substitution
language. The networking layer is designed to support development of a
mutiuser virtual reality system, and so the second part of the VOS project
is building this application. The 3D client enables multiple users to see
each other move about a virtual environment and exchange chat messages,
and a user can manipulate objects in the environment with the mouse and
add new ones with a seperate program.
Changes: In this release, the source tree has been completely reorganized
and modularized. Connections between sites may now be secured with
Transport Layer Security (TLSv1) or Secure Sockets Layer (SSLv3) using
OpenSSL. VOS now has a fairly complete set of Perl bindings, including
support for registering Perl code as listeners, and using Perl to extend
MetaObjects. Type, subobject, and method names now conform to a standard
namespace scheme to avoid future conflicts. The manual now has full code
tutorials for programming VOS in C++.

Office/Business
About: WebGUI is a platform built to allow average business users to build
and maintain complex Web sites. It is modular, pluggable, and platform
independent. It was designed to allow the people who create the content to
manage it online, rather than content management taking up the time of
busy IT Staff. Whether you are building a consumer site, an intranet, or
an extranet, WebGUI has something to offer.
Changes: This release fixes a navigation bug where everything was labeled
as the selected menu item, a problem with the D macro, a bug where admins
couldn't delete attachments or images from the USS, a bug where having
poll with no answers would cause the poll wobject to crash, a bug where
the reset votes option in the poll would become mangled if the
anti-caching mechanism was enabled, and a bug where redirects would cause
WebGUI to crash if the user had installed the latest version of CGI.pm.
The Dutch translation was updated and a Chinese (Traditional) translation
was added.
