Sunday, August 25th 2002 22:13
Games/Entertainment
Multimedia :: Graphics
Software Development :: Libraries
About: Allegro is a multi-platform game library that provides many
functions for graphics, sounds, player input (keyboard, mouse, and
joystick), and timers. It also provides fixed and floating point
mathematical functions, 3D functions, file management functions,
compressed datafile, and a GUI.
Changes: A bug with graphics mode switching using an ALT+key combination
under Windows has been fixed. A new dat2c utility. win_set_window() can be
called after the library has been initialized. There are fixes to
midi_seek() and the dat2s utility. Detection of ESD and aRts under Unix
has been fixed. There is new page flipping/triple buffering code for the
Windows port. Compilation problem with Cygwin have been fixed. Sample
load/save functions can be registered, and a save_sample() function was
added. A keyboard focus problem under BeOS has been fixed. There is
improved HTML and INFO documentation output, and a new section was added
to the manual.

[002] - Cricket Cage alpha-0-2-0
by dwalend (http://freshmeat.net/users/dwalend/)
Sunday, August 25th 2002 22:06
About: Cricket Cage automatically creates JUnit TestCases for repeatable
bugs and test scenarios. Extend the GeneratesCode aspect, include Cricket
Cage's AspectJ code in your compilation to install the code generator,
then run the program to generate the TestCase. Finally, add the test case
to your build.xml to repeat the test on every build.
Changes: This release simply updates the project to use aspectj 1.0.6 and
a final release of velocity 1.3. Other small changes include some details
in building and packaging. ajdoc has been fixed by removing tools.jar from
ant's class path. build.xmls now shares properties from files. Manifest
information has been added to toolkit.jar and cricketcage.jar.

[004] - CyberNeko HTML Parser 0.6.6
by Andy Clark (http://freshmeat.net/users/andyc2/)
Sunday, August 25th 2002 19:29
Text Processing :: Markup :: HTML
Text Processing :: Markup :: XML
About: NekoHTML is a simple HTML scanner and tag balancer that enables
Java application programmers to parse HTML documents and access the
information using standard XML interfaces. The parser can scan HTML files
and "fix up" many common mistakes that human (and computer) authors make
in writing HTML documents. NekoHTML is written using the Xerces Native
Interface (XNI) that is the foundation of the Xerces2 implementation. This
enables application programmers to use the NekoHTML parser with existing
XNI tools without modification or rewriting code.
Changes: This release fixes lots of minor bugs, updates the HTML parser
configuration to implement the XNI XMLPullParserConfiguration interface,
adds a feature to strip comment delimiters from script tags, upgrades the
dynamic entity feature from "experimental" to "supported", and adds
regression tests. The archive is built with the name and version in the
base directory name.

[005] - CyberNeko Pull Parser 0.1
by Andy Clark (http://freshmeat.net/users/andyc2/)
Sunday, August 25th 2002 22:20
Text Processing :: Markup :: XML
About: NekoPull is an XML document parsing API that extends the Xerces
Native Interface (XNI) to provide pull parsing functionality. The pull
parsing paradigm is different from tree-based APIs like the Document
Object Model (DOM) and event stream APIs like the Simple API for XML (SAX)
in that the application controls the parsing of documents. NekoPull is
similar to lex in that the application requests, or pulls, the document
information one piece at a time instead of having document information
pushed to the application.

About: DBX works using XML files as its native format. The database can be
queried using standard SQL queries. DBX is the smallest, platform
independent DBMS, and is extremely easy to migrate to. For small
databases, it is a good substitute for MySQL, Oracle, etc. The added
advantage is that it saves the data as neat, readable, XML files, allowing
easy compatibility.

[009] - empy 1.3
by Eleventh Hour (http://freshmeat.net/users/xihr/)
Sunday, August 25th 2002 01:44
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Software Development :: Code Generators
Software Development :: Interpreters
About: empy is a system for embedding Python expressions and statements in
template text; it takes empy source files, processes them, and produces
output. This is accomplished via expansions, which are special signals to
the empy system and are set off by a special prefix (by default the at
sign, '
'). empy can expand arbitrary Python expressions and statements in
this way, as well as a variety of special forms. Textual data not
explicitly delimited in this way is sent unaffected to the output,
allowing Python to be used in effect as a markup language. Also supported
are recording and playback via diversions, and dynamic and chainable
filters. The system is highly configurable via command line options.
Changes: This release includes pseudomodule as a true instance, and moves
toward more verbose (and clear) pseudomodule functions. The diversion
model was fleshed out, there are filters, conditional expressions with
'[...]', protected expressions with '<...>', and preprocessing with '-P'
(in preparation for possible support for command line arguments).

About: Feta is a frontend to the Debian package management system dpkg,
the Debian configuration system Debconf, and the Debian package
distribution system APT. It provides a unified interface to over a dozen

different commands, plus additional command aliases for compatability with
the original tools.
Changes: The documentation has been updated to reflect a command name
change.

[011] - gentoo 0.11.32
by Emil Brink (http://freshmeat.net/users/emilbrink/)
Sunday, August 25th 2002 07:44
Desktop Environment :: File Managers
About: gentoo is a file manager written in C. It uses the GTK+ toolkit,
and the two-pane concept, somewhat inspired by DOpus. gentoo strives to be
very configurable, and also to let you do all configuration from a GUI
within the program itself. Using advanced file typing and styling systems,
gentoo determines how to display files in its listings, and also how to
act on them. The package includes a set of ~100 unique handcrafted icons,
for many different types of files.
Changes: New versions of autoconf and automake are now used, which should
improve portability. Directory history handling was improved, and is now
harder to fool when inodes get reused. Internationalization was improved
by adding more strings to the .pot file. Vertical pane position handling
and large file support were improved. Support was added for more modifiers
to mouse bindings. Dialogs can be set to center on screen instead of
always following the mouse. An official translation into Polish is
included.

Communications :: Email :: Filters
Communications :: Email :: Mail Transport Agents
About: purepost is an interface between Courier-MTA and Sophie for virus
scanning. You can have it check mail for all your users, or just a few.
Using courier's dot-courier functionality, this script intercepts an email
before it hits the mailbox, creates a temporary file, tells sophie to scan
that temporary file for viruses, and if it finds a virus, denies delivery
and notifies the sender (otherwise it allows the message to be delivered).
Changes: This release fixes a bug in the "Archive and Deny" feature, and
fixes a bug where temp files were not being deleted if Sophie's socket was
unreachable.

Sunday, August 25th 2002 11:42
Communications :: Ham Radio
About: tk500 is a multiplatform programming and cloning utility for the
portable Yaesu VR-500 receiver. It can read the memory image from the
radio, display the information graphically, and save it to a file. It can
import information from an RT Systems .RDF file and export memory channel
information to a .CSV (comma-separated values) file. Users are free to
change most settings and write the memory image back to the receiver.
tk500 exploits undocumented features within the radio.
Changes: Improvements include new controls for VFO frequency, VFO mode,
VFO tuning step, Fast tuning step, Smart Search Continue, and Set Menu
Item menu. The VFO settings have been organized into a new, separate
window. Memory channel import from a .csv file now tolerates lines with
missing trailing fields (i.e., too few commas). The serial port may now be
a symbolic link or a character special file, to ease installation on
Mandrake Linux systems. Two minor bugs have been fixed.
