[001] - 4tH compiler 3.3d release 2
  by HanSoft (http://freshmeat.net/users/hansoft/)
  Friday, April 18th 2003 08:08

Software Development :: Code Generators
Software Development :: Compilers
Software Development :: Libraries

About: 4tH is a Forth compiler with a little difference. Instead of the
standard Forth engine it features a conventional compiler. 4tH is a very
small compiler that can create bytecode, C-embeddable bytecode, standalone
executables, but also works fine as a scripting language. It supports over
85% of the ANS Forth CORE wordset and features conditional compilation,
pipes, files, assertions, forward declarations, recursion, etc. It comes
with an RPN calculator, line editor, compiler, decompiler, C-source
generators, and a virtual machine.

Changes: Source files can now be included at compile time. The existence
of words in the dictionary can now be checked at compile time using
[DEFINED]. More COMUS words have been added. The 4tH program now allows
you to enter parameters in the menu. The Linux module "binfmt_misc" is now
supported.

[002] - Advanced Assembler 0.9.0alpha
  by Alexandre Becoulet (http://freshmeat.net/users/diaxen/)
  Friday, April 18th 2003 13:43

Software Development :: Assemblers

About: Aasm is an advanced assembler designed to support several target
architectures. It has been designed to be easily extended, and should be
considered as a good alternative to monolithic assembler development for
each new target CPU and binary file format. It should make assembly
programming easier for the developer by providing a set of advanced
features: symbol scopes, an expressions engine, big integer support,
numerous and accurate warning messages, filter modules, and more. Its
dynamic modular architecture enables aasm to extend its set of features
with plug-ins. asm-x86, out-elf, out-binary, and out-intelhex modules are
available. An asm-sparc module is under development.

  Friday, April 18th 2003 16:31

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: MIDI

About: aseqjoy monitors a joystick device of your choice and maps each
axis to a MIDI controller. Joystick motion triggers corresponding MIDI
controller messages. The MIDI events are sent through an ALSA sequencer
output port.

  Friday, April 18th 2003 19:28

Database :: Front-Ends
Internet :: Log Analysis
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: Page Counters

About: AudiStat is a PHP application for generating and showing statistics
for your Web site. It gives you statistics about hit counts, referring
page, visitors country, visitors domain name, etc.

Changes: The release provides some minor bugfixes and updates the Last
Visitors section. The used PHP variables are also updated for a better
system compatibility.

[005] - CinePaint 0.16
  by linux (http://freshmeat.net/users/brainless/)
  Friday, April 18th 2003 04:25

Multimedia :: Graphics :: Editors :: Raster-Based

About: CinePaint is image retouching software with features similar to
GIMP or Photoshop. However, two significant enhancements set CinePaint
apart. It handles 16-bit per channel color (48-bit RGB) and has a sequence
manager that facilitates moving through numbered images. That makes it
very useful for manipulating scanned 35mm film. It was used in the
production of Harry Potter, Scooby-Doo, Stuart Little, and other feature
films. It is the most popular open source tool in the motion picture
industry.

Changes: This version features the ability to scale brushes to fit brush
select window, adds tearoff menus, fixes a byte swap issue for PNG images
on OS X, fixes some histogram/levels problems, changes the default image
size to 512x512, fixes curves, fixes copying one image to another if
there is a selection, fixes an openexr save bug, fixes a cineon and hdr
loader bug, and renames the GIMP filenames, amongst other changes.

[006] - Coil 0.3
  by Jeff Simpson (http://freshmeat.net/users/blahman/)
  Friday, April 18th 2003 23:24

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management

About: Coil is an MVC framework for Python. It is based largely on the
ideas and design of Struts and allows you to cleanly separate models,
views, and controllers via an XML configuration file. A very basic login
example that demonstrates the basic work flow is included.

Changes: This version features Cheetah support for the "view", form
objects with validation support, action objects for controller
abstraction, DispatchAction support that allows multiple method entry
points on the same action object, and ActionForward for abstracting a page
location by name.

  by labrum (http://freshmeat.net/users/labrum/)
  Friday, April 18th 2003 08:30

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Editors

About: cutmp3 is a small commandline MP3 editor. It lets you select
sections of an MP3 and save them to separate files without quality loss.
It uses mpg123 for playback. It mostly works with VBR files, but they are
treated as CBR files.

Changes: This release officially supports files bigger than 2GB and
supports a timetable for semiautomatic cutting.

[009] - cvsdelta 1.6.4
  by Jeff Pace (http://freshmeat.net/users/JEugenePace/)
  Friday, April 18th 2003 08:41

Software Development :: Version Control :: CVS

About: cvsdelta helps manage a CVS project, identifying the local files
that have been added, changed, or deleted. The relevant files can be
automatically added to and removed from CVS. A list of files is produced,
with a summary of content differences, i.e. the number of lines of code
that have been added, changed, and deleted.

Changes: This release fixes an error which occurred with files still in
the repository that have been deleted locally. It improves behavior when
adding hierarchical directories and files, which are now in the order and
the sets expected by CVS. It completely refactors the project, partitions
the modules into separate files, and adds unit tests. It fixes the
detection and reporting of binary files and of files added since a certain
revision.

[011] - DansGuardian 2.7.0 (Unstable)
  by Daniel Barron (http://freshmeat.net/users/dansguardian/)
  Friday, April 18th 2003 03:32

Internet
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Security

About: DansGuardian is a Web content filtering proxy that uses Squid to do
all the fetching. It filters using multiple methods including, but not
limited to, phrase matching, file extension matching, MIME type matching,
PICS filtering, and URL/domain blocking. It has the ability to switch off
filtering by certain criteria including username, domain name, source IP,
etc. The configurable logging produces a log in an easy to read format. It
has the option to only log text-based pages, thus significantly reducing
redundant information (such as every image on a page).

Changes: The main addition is a change of process model from
fork-on-connect to fork pool which halves CPU usage and improves
scalability. Other additions include improved internationalisation
language file support, WebDAV support, accented character support, full
16- bit char support, and various options to switch off different types
of text analysis to improve speed.

  Friday, April 18th 2003 03:37

Internet
Security :: Cryptography

About: Dropbear is an SSH 2 server, designed to be usable in small memory
environments.

Changes: The major changes in this release are fixes for incorrect buffer
length checking (probably exploitable), the addition of syslog support,
fixes for channel closing so that SCP processes don't remain after
copying, general code tidying, and minor bugfixes.

[014] - Dump/Restore 0.4b34
  by Stelian Pop (http://freshmeat.net/users/spop/)
  Friday, April 18th 2003 03:44

System :: Archiving :: Backup
System :: Archiving :: Compression
System :: Filesystems

About: The dump package contains both dump and restore. Dump examines
files in a filesystem, determines which ones need to be backed up, and
copies those files to a specified disk, tape or other storage medium. The
restore command performs the inverse function of dump; it can restore a
full backup of a filesystem. Subsequent incremental backups can then be
layered on top of the full backup. Single files and directory subtrees may
also be restored from full or partial backups.

Changes: Some new features include LZO fast compression, a new extended
rmt capable of encryption, fixes so that dump works with 2.5 kernel EOT
semantics, and a lot of small bugfixes.

[015] - DynamicRelay 0.2
  by Juan Pablo Abuyeres (http://freshmeat.net/users/MacPato/)
  Friday, April 18th 2003 11:08

Communications :: Email :: Filters
Communications :: Email :: Mail Transport Agents

About: DynamicRelay automatically refreshes sendmail's access.db file as
users get authenticated via POP. Users connecting from anywhere may be
allowed to send email using your SMTP server. Also, you can set a LIMIT to
the number of messages that can be sent from an IP address per day. This
is really nice when you have users infected by viruses that send thousands
and thousands of spam messages, or send spam deliberately, so your server
won't get listed on spamcop or other RBLs so easily. You can also control
how long users are allowed to send email after their last POP
authentication. Abuses get logged, and you can put your own static entries
in the access file.

[024] - gimp-print 4.3.13 (Development)
  by Robert Krawitz (http://freshmeat.net/users/rlk/)
  Friday, April 18th 2003 08:04

Multimedia :: Graphics
Printing
System :: Hardware

About: Gimp-Print is a collection of very high quality printer drivers for
UNIX/Linux. The goal of this project is uncompromising print quality and
robustness. Included with this package is the Print plugin for the GIMP
(hence the name), a CUPS driver, and two drivers (traditional and
IJS-based) for Ghostscript that may be compiled into that package. This
driver package is Foomatic-compatible and provides Foomatic data to enable
plug and play with many print spoolers. In addition, various printer
maintenance utilities are included. Many users report that the quality of
Gimp-Print on high end Epson Stylus printers matches or exceeds the
quality of the drivers supplied for Windows and Macintosh.

Changes: The main user-visible changes in this release are simplified
resolution options for most Epson Stylus printers, simplified selection of
ink types for Epson Stylus printers, and preliminary support for the
current Japanese Epson printers, including the PM-970C (tested) and
PM-930C (untested). GIMP plugin users should note that the curve format
has changed incompatibly from 4.3.11 and 4.3.12, and is now XML-based.
Aside from that, most changes have been internal.

About: The Herdtools are a set of Perl scripts which perform various "job
parallel" functions so that can control a "herd", or cluster, of machines
from one connection. In most cases, the Herdtools use rsh or ssh to

collect some information, or they may simply read a file on disk and
report information back. A "tag" system is used to allow arbitrary logical
tests for machine selection (i.e., all machines that have tag "foo" and
"bar" but not "baz").

check out, only the affected files are rescanned instead of the entire
project. It is now possible to refill the project with all the files in
the project's directory and subdirectories. Some date formatting bugs were
fixed, along with a problem with removing multiple files from a project.

[060] - pretendroot 0.5.1
  by egmont (http://freshmeat.net/users/egmont/)
  Friday, April 18th 2003 16:32

About: Pretendroot is an LD_PRELOAD library which overrides some glibc
calls, pretending you are root while doing file system operations. The
main difference from Debian's fakeroot is that no daemons or other
processes are involved, fake ownership and group are stored on the file
system, and not in memory, hence it can survive even reboots. This library
has been successfully used when building packages for the UHU-Linux
distribution. All of its applications are compiled and installed as an
unprivileged user. However, there's no need to patch Makefiles; commands
such as "install -o root -g mail thisfile ${DESTDIR}/here" work perfectly,
and the final packages will have the desired ownership and group.

[061] - QuickRip DVD 0.6-rc1 (Testing)
  by Tom Chance (http://freshmeat.net/users/telex4/)
  Friday, April 18th 2003 09:28

Multimedia :: Video

About: QuickRip is a basic DVD ripper for GNU/Linux written in Python and
PyQt. It lacks options to fine-tune how you want to rip your DVD, but it
makes ripping quick and easy, and so is ideal for those who aren't
bothered about framerates, clipping, and other unecessary options. It uses
mplayer and transcode to retrieve DVD info and rip the tracks.

Changes: This release adds a new settings dialogue/screen (GUI/CLI) with
settings for program paths, a default output directory path, and
deinterlacing/aspect ratio options for Mencoder. It is a beta release and
needs testing; the author has no interlaced DVDs, and doesn't know whether
they work with it.

[067] - sortdir 0.3.1
  by egmont (http://freshmeat.net/users/egmont/)
  Friday, April 18th 2003 16:31

About: Sortdir is an LD_PRELOAD library which sorts directory entries
before supplying them to your applications. Sorting order is controlled by
the current locale settings, however, other directory sorting locales can
also be specified. (glibc >= 2.3 is required.) Sortdir can be especially
useful as a wrapper for "tar" or "find". It's been used for creating
packages for the UHU-Linux distribution; all of its deb packages contain
their entries in alphabetical order so that better user feedback is
provided when hitting F3 in mc on a package or querying its contents with
"dpkg -L".

Text Processing :: General

About: Structured Document Validator implements a generalized method for
validating both the structure and content of structured documents. Any
data format that can be deterministically divided into tags and data is
classed as a structured document. This definition applies to a wide array
of data formats, including XML, Java properties files, and delimited value
files. The application performs validations based on user-defined
Structured Document Definitions (SDDs). It provides an environment for
validation, SDD development, and document editing.

Changes: This release includes minor bugfixes, code cleanup, and feature
enhancements. XMLSchema support has been augmented, and a new menu item
(SDD Development | Make XML Schema) has been added. Initial work has been
done for the validation of character entities. The help pages available
from the application's homepage have been augmented and updated.

[078] - ZINC interpreter 0.51 Beta 2
  by The Zinc Team (http://freshmeat.net/users/zinc/)
  Friday, April 18th 2003 10:58

Games/Entertainment

About: Zinc (the Z-machine Including Network Capabilities) allows you to
play text adventure games (also known as interactive fiction) either on
your own, or cooperatively over a network. It comes with interpreters for
two of the most popular interactive fiction file formats--Z-machine games
and TADS games. A common problem when playing adventure games is drawing a
map of the game world. Seasoned players will be glad to hear that Zinc has
a powerful map facility to make this process as painless as possible.
Zinc's networking capabilities are possibly unique. They enable several
players to work together to try to solve a game.

Changes: This release has a proper cross platform installer (rather than a
Windows installer and an "everything else" installer). There is also the
ability to change the game console fonts and colours. There are also many
bugfixes.
