by paul farrall (http://freshmeat.net/users/pfarrall/)
Friday, August 30th 2002 20:35
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: Bugfixes in Solaris, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and Darwin modules for
interface info functions, fixes for some cases where the logfile might not
be opened properly by daemon, some bugfixes to the alist client, and
increased number of allowable characters in user-supplied data strings.

[004] - Animail 2.0-pre5 (Unstable)
by Juanjo A. Martínez (http://freshmeat.net/users/juanjux/)
Friday, August 30th 2002 19:18
Communications :: Email :: Filters
Communications :: Email :: Mail Transport Agents
About: Animail is a multiserver POP3/APOP/IMAP4Rev1 (with or without SSL)
mail retrieval utility. It features an advanced filtering system based on
blacklisting, whitelisting, or a combination of both. It is possible to
send an autoresponse which prompts people to reply and add themselves to
the 'autoaccept' file. It also allows filters based on a regular
expression which matches against the email headers. (If a message is
filtered, only the header is downloaded, not the entire body.) Animail
also features download ordering options. For example, you can configure it
to download the smaller messages first. Different delivery options are
available, including mailbox, maildir, local SMTP, and pipe to command.
Changes: A fix for the evil IndexError bug in the config file parser, but
still no support for M$ Exchange IMAP servers.

About: Anna is a set of AIML (Artificial Intelligence Markup Language)
files that constitute a chat bot. Unlike other Chat Bots, Anna declares
herself to be human, and then has a past, personality, and identity built
up from there. Anna is designed to win the 2002 Loebner Prize Competition,
and is based on the landmark work of the ALICE AI foundation.
Changes: All instances of <bot have now been completely removed, and more
about Anna's personality has been added.

[006] - AppWrap 0.04
by PlanetMan (http://freshmeat.net/users/PlanetMan/)
Friday, August 30th 2002 11:08
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: The demo database was changed to better describe what is shown
onscreen. This should help people understand how AppWrap works. Many
documentation updates were made, some minor, some large. The "about
AppWrap" POD was added, which essentially describes how AppWrap came to
be. Modules were revised to take advantage of new CSS styles to go along
with the revisions to the demo DB and the styles were added to the site
stylesheet. Revisions were made to the admin script (AppWrap_admin.pl) to
enhance modularity and supportability.

[009] - Blackbox 0.65.0 prerelease 1
by Shaleh (http://freshmeat.net/users/shaleh/)
Friday, August 30th 2002 16:09
Desktop Environment :: Window Managers
About: Blackbox is yet another addition to the list of window managers for
X. It is written in C++, sharing no common code with any other window
manager (even though the graphics implementation is similar to that of
WindowMaker). It features small code size, a fast interface with simple
menus, multiple workspaces, decorated windows, built-in graphics code to
render solids, gradients, and bevels on the fly, and more.
Changes: This release adds Taiwan Chinese (zh_TW), Hungarian (hu_HU),
Korean (ko_KR), Norwegian (no_NO), Polish (pl_PL), Romanian (ro_RO), and
Ukrainian (uk_UA) locale support. There are numerous speedups, improved
ICCCM support, better Java application support, and lots more.

[011] - Catacomb 0.6.0
by Sung Kim (http://freshmeat.net/users/hunkim/)
Friday, August 30th 2002 01:53
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Indexing/Search
About: Catacomb is a WebDAV repository module for use with the Apache
WebDAV module, mod_dav. Apache mod_dav parses WebDAV protocol requests
into operations on a repository providing persistent storage of resources
and their properties. The default repository for mod_dav is provided by a
separate module, mod_dav_fs, which stores resource bodies as files in the
filesystem, and stores properties in a (G)DBM database. Catacomb provides
a replacement for mod_dav_fs called mod_dav_repos that stores resources
and their properties in a relational database (MySQL). The primary
advantage of this approach is the searching capabilities of the database
are used to implement the DASL protocol.
Changes: Dead prop namespace support, a fix for a copy/move bug, support
in the SEARCH method, and many bugfixes.

sharpen, contrast, etc. One can use images and text as elements, and those
elements can be flipped/rotated/resized in any way. The program has
easy-to-use features for previously made images that are meant to be CD
covers.
Changes: A bug in the previous release that caused the wizard not to work
was fixed. Some bugfixes and a few new features were added. New features
include shortcuts for inserting images and removing all elements in the
popup menu.

Friday, August 30th 2002 16:20
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.

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 fixes a recently discovered problem in libcyrus
which can result in corrupted mailboxes.

Database :: Front-Ends
Software Development :: Code Generators
Software Development :: User Interfaces
About: ERW (Entities and Relationships on the Web) is an innovative system
for handling complex databases using a Web browser. It uses the most
recent standards endorsed by the W3C to offer to the user a sophisticated
environment, similar to a dedicated client. Moreover, the user interface
is generated in a completely automatic way starting from a conceptual
description of the database by means of an XML-based description language
for entity-relationship schemata. ERW can be used for content management,
in particular when the data is structured along complex relations.
Changes: ERW now implements multiple ownership for weak entities. Several
fixes have been made to the schema validating code. Finally, new hooks are
available for deletions.

Office/Business
Office/Business :: Financial :: Spreadsheet
About: The GNOME Structured File Library is a utility library for reading
and writing structured file formats. Support for MS OLE2 streams is
complete, as is zip import. There is also support for document metadata
and some initial work on decompressing VBA streams in OLE files for future
conversion to other languages. This library replaces libole2 and is used
in gnumeric, mrproject, and eventually abiword.
Changes: OLE export has now been validated for a while and is ready for
general usage outside GNOME. This release patches some corner cases that
upset the old libole2 importer. Generated files are now readable by all
major OLE importers. The zip import is also firmed up and ready for
larger-scale testing.

Security :: Cryptography
System :: Logging
About: grsecurity is a complete security system for Linux 2.4 that
implements a detection/prevention/containment strategy. It prevents most
forms of address space modification, confines programs with least
privilege via its process-based ACL system, hardens syscalls, and provides
many of the OpenBSD randomness features. It has auditing capabilities and
a netfilter module designed to thwart portscans and OS fingerprinting.
Changes: This release includes the new segmentation-based implementation
of non-executable pages from the PaX team, which has all of the features
of the previous page-based implementation, yet without the performance
hit. The learning mode and new ACL features have been refined, and the ACL
system has undergone a rewrite of the core code, which resulted in a 10x
performance increase and much better stability. Gradm, the userspace ACL
administration tool, has also been updated for this release.

About: HyperSCSI is a new storage protocol designed for the transfer of
SCSI data and commands over networks. It runs on Ethernet-based networks,
but does not use TCP/IP as a foundation for communications. While this may
run counter to convention, it has allowed HyperSCSI to achieve high
throughput without the need for complex and expensive hardware add-ons.
Intrinsic advantages of bypassing TCP/IP include immunity to cracking via
the Internet, simplicity, and plug-and-play functions. It supports IDE and
SCSI hard disk drives, optical, tape, and even removable USB drives. It is
compatible with Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet (with and without Jumbo
frames), and 802.11b wireless LANs.

grown into a complete, distinct Java-influenced environment of its own.
Using Jess, you can build Java applets and applications that have the
capacity to "reason" using knowledge you supply in the form of declarative
rules. Jess is free for academic use.
Changes: A 6.1a3 bug where negated patterns could trigger backward
chaining has been fixed. "eval" and "build" can use variables from the
calling context. The "app object" mechanism has been clarified and
extended; Jess can be installed as a standard extension. Performance
regression from 6.1a3 has been partially ameliorated.

About: MiddleMan is a fast HTTP/HTTPS proxy server with features designed
to remove unwanted content and increase privacy. It uses an XML
configuration file, and is fully compatible with the HTTP 1.1 protocol
including persistent proxy connections and chunked encoding. It can be
used to block certain URLS, mimetypes, cookies, and HTTP headers, and can
filter the content of Web pages using either its builtin rewrite feature
or any external program or script.
Changes: A severe bug which would cause the proxy to crash when visiting a
site which doesn't return a content-type header while using the rewrite
feature was fixed. Middleman can now accept normal HTTP requests on the
proxy port and forward those connections if a matching redirect rule for
the requested file is found. Rewrite rules can now be applied to both the
header sent by the browser and the header received from the remote Web
site. Redirect rules can now optionally be applied to the URL in the
Location header sent back when a server gives a 302 redirect.

UML class diagrams, detects cycles in the dependency graph, recovers an
intended architectural layering from a polluted implementation, suggests
which dependencies should be removed to improve the structure, allows
refactoring of the source model, immediately shows the effect of the
refactoring on the dependency structure, allows the refactoring to be
applied to the source code, and allows source code to be verified against
a design model.
Changes: Calculation of Robert C. Martin's Design Quality Metrics has been
added. It is also now possible to use the tool via the command line or via
Apache ANT. Furthermore, some improvements have been made to the user
interface, and a number of bugfixes have been made.

using the included translations. You can also access the information with
a WAP-enabled mobile phone.
Changes: This is not an upgrade from earlier versions of PHP Weather, but
a move to an entirely new code base. The biggest changes from previous
versions of PHP Weather are the built-in list of available stations and
the new object oriented design. The use of PHP4-only functions means that
you cannot use this with PHP3.

[062] - PowerMail 1.3.1
by ahu (http://freshmeat.net/users/ahu2/)
Friday, August 30th 2002 10:03
Internet
About: PowerMail is a redundant and distributed system for receiving mail
via SMTP and storing it for users to access with POP. The way PowerMail
works is quite unorthodox, and its design emphasizes speed and efficiency.
Modified Maildir mailboxes allow PowerMail to employ hardlinks to save
diskspace and deliver messages with thousands of recipients instantly.
PowerMail can operate self-sufficiently or cooperate with a regular MTA to
support mail forwarding.
Changes: Previous versions of PowerMail neglected to close discarded MySQL
connections, which under certain circumstances could lead to resource
exhaustion. This situation can be triggered by spammers doing a dictionary
attack on a domain. PowerMail is now free-as-in-free-beer for
installations with less than 50 mailboxes.

Communications
Communications :: BBS
Communications :: Conferencing
About: The RealizationEngine is designed from the ground up to facilitate
group communication. It is accessible from any Web browser or Web-enabled
device with access to the server. Classified information is easily
restricted to authorized individuals. Information can be
compartmentalized, restricted, or published openly, as appropriate, 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.
Changes: Changing the session timeout to 2 minutes from 1 minute (it was
originally 5 minutes, which was too long), new "page shifting" for folders
and search results that result in more than 20 pages of threads, a fix for
search results to be ordered by "score" rather than by age, and new sort
order options for search results (relivence, date, user, folder).

[067] - Rippy the Aggregator 0.6
by Matthew Skala (http://freshmeat.net/users/mskala/)
Friday, August 30th 2002 01:49
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: News/Diary
About: Rippy the Aggregator is a lightweight RSS aggregator written in
vanilla PHP. It downloads headlines from a configurable list of
regularly-updated Web sites, and merges the items into a single list of
all the latest news. Rippy could be used to keep track of several
favourite sites, or as an automatic supply of filler material on a public
Web site. It uses local files to store its persistent information,
requiring no database and no non-default PHP library support.
Changes: The new version correctly orders the new items when there are
many new items in a single update. A fix was made to a comic-scraping
script to accomodate changes in its target site's layout, and Rippy's
embedded HTML formatting was tweaked for nicer display.

Communications
Communications :: Conferencing
Communications :: Internet Phone
About: Sfront compiles MPEG 4 Structured Audio (MP4-SA) bitstreams into
efficient C programs that generate audio when executed. MP4-SA is a
standard for normative algorithmic sound, that combines an audio signal
processing language (SAOL) with score languages (SASL, and the legacy MIDI
File Format). Under Linux, sfront supports real-time, low-latency audio
input/output, local MIDI input from soundcards, and networked MIDI input
using RTP and SIP. A SIP server hosted on the Berkeley campus manages
sessions. The documentation includes a book about SAOL programming.
Changes: This release is a Mac OS X bugfix release. The sfront CoreAudio
drivers are now compatible with OS X 10.2 (Jaguar), and large-latency
values no longer hang the driver. In addition, sfront networking is now
fully supported under OS X, including PPP and DHCP setups.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Software Development
About: Tapestry is a rich, component-based object model for developing
