[004] - Armagetron 0.2.3 (Stable)
by z-man (http://freshmeat.net/users/zmanuel/)
Sunday, July 6th 2003 08:44

Games/Entertainment
Games/Entertainment :: Arcade

About: In Armagetron, you ride a lightcycle around the game grid. You can
only make sharp turns of 90 degrees and a wall constantly builds up after
you. Make your enemies crash into your wall, but be aware that they are
trying to do the same to you. If you are fast enough, you may be able to
trap them, but the only way to speed up your lightcycle is to drive close
to the dangerous walls. Prepare for exciting strategic preparations
followed by action-packed close combat!

Changes: This release fixes may smaller nuisances. Instant chat was
repaired. The scoring tables now work properly in the presence of team
play. The smart camera now has better handling for the case when you are
constantly braking. Additionally, two reasons for crashes have been
eliminated.

[006] - CPSSkins 0.9pre8
by Jean-Marc Orliaguet (http://freshmeat.net/users/jmo/)
Sunday, July 6th 2003 16:34

Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management

About: CPSSkings is an intuitive skin management system for the Nuxeo
Collaborative Portal Server. It can be configured through the Web, and
every element can be selected among a list of visual previews. Over 250
stylesheet parameters are addressed individually, and all modifications
are instantaneous. CSS level 2 is used extensively on browsers that
support it, but older and text-based browsers are also supported through
a simplified stylesheet generated on the fly.

Changes: This version adds configurable user themes (skins and templates)
for authenticated portal members.

[007] - CWirc 0.4.1
by Pierre-Philippe Coupard
(http://freshmeat.net/users/pierrephilippecoupar/)
Sunday, July 6th 2003 19:32

Communications :: Chat :: Internet Relay Chat
Communications :: Ham Radio

About: CWirc is a plugin for the X-Chat IRC client to transmit raw Morse
code over the internet using IRC servers as reflectors. The transmitted
Morse code can be received in near real-time by other X-Chat clients with
the CWirc plugin. CWirc tries to emulate a standard amateur radio rig: it
sends and receives Morse over virtual channels, and it can listen to
multiple senders transmitting on the same channel. Morse code is keyed
locally using a straight or iambic key connected to a serial port, or
using the mouse buttons, and the sound is played through the soundcard.

Changes: There is now a one second delay before starting to emit Morse
code received from the IRC channel, so the receive code can tolerate some
lag in the connection with the IRC server before the receive buffer
underruns.

applications to connect to DBMSs. The API currently implements msql,
MySQL, Oracle8, ODBC, and PostgreSQL drivers in the Unix environments and
MySQL, Oracle8, and ODBC in the Windows environment.

Changes: setTime and setDate were added to the bind parameter object. Bind
parameters were implemented for the MySQL driver. Comparison operators
were added to JDate to allow date object comparisons. A new struct and
related functions were added to represent a Julian Day. The date
difference operator was fixed to calculate correctly when subtracting
months. The dbconnect source and MySQL driver were ported to Windows. The
stripping of \r chars in the confifFile.cpp was fixed.

About: dhcp-agent is a UNIX Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
suite that includes a set of troubleshooting and diagnostic tools. It is
currently in its early pre-release stages, with a complete DHCP sniffer
and a beta quality client.

Changes: An "-s" option has been added to the client to allow lease
introspection. A contrib directory has been added with a sample
configuration file for Rogers Cable Broadband service in the Toronto Area.
It may work for other home services. "default-interface-mtu" works as
advertised now. Updated documentation now includes a brief overview of
DHCP. There are other minor cosmetic fixes.

[011] - Duali 0.1.1
by Arabeyes Project (http://freshmeat.net/users/arabeyes/)
Sunday, July 6th 2003 07:35

Text Processing :: Linguistic
Utilities

About: Duali is an Arabic spellchecker.

Changes: The code has been cleaned up. Specific dbm dependencies have been
removed, so it uses whatever is in the system. dict2db.py is bundled with

Sunday, July 6th 2003 16:33

System :: Networking :: Firewalls
System :: Systems Administration

About: FW1-Loggrabber is a simple LEA (Log Export API) client for
Checkpoint Firewall-1. It was developed to access Firewall-1 Logfiles from
commandline from any host in the network. Without an LEA client you can
only access logs with graphical Checkpoint Tools or via commandline
directly on the Firewall-1 machine. The primary goal was to automate
reports of FW-1 logs with LIRE.

Changes: This release contains bugfixes, improved filter and argument
processing, and filtering of output fields.

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: All CUPS users using 4.3 should get this release: a critical bug
in the PPD files introduced in 4.3.17 has been fixed. There are some other
minor portability and compilation fixes.

[022] - Goanseech 0.1
by Bruno Böttcher (http://freshmeat.net/users/bboett/)
Sunday, July 6th 2003 16:53

Utilities

About: Goanseech is a spinoff of the leverlada IRC leech script. One of
its core parts was extracted and refunded into a standalone server. This
server holds information about the basic pattern specifying the base name
of a TV series, which epsiodes were already fetched, and what is the
maximum number of episodes. Connecting through SSL to this server, there
is a curses client and a GTK shell, a script that parses Web pages for
Bittorrent links, matches them against the information on the series
server, and issues a batch file with ready Bittorrent retrieval command
lines to retrieve files that are wanted by the user, and a directory
watcher which scans a given set of directories and updates the series
server with newly found files.

[024] - Gtk2-Perl 0.26
by muppet (http://freshmeat.net/users/muppet/)
Sunday, July 6th 2003 19:32

Software Development :: Libraries :: Perl Modules

About: Gtk2-Perl allows Perl developers to write GTK+ 2.x applications.
The bindings use an object oriented syntax that attempts to remain close
to the C API, but take a Perlish approach where appropriate.

Changes: A lot has happened since 0.20. In addition to tons of bugfixes,
many more methods and modules have been implemented, including
GtkClipboard and GdkAtoms in Gtk2 and the GMainLoop in Glib. There are
also bindings for libgnomecanvas and libglade, and ExtUtils::Depends has
been broken into its own separately distributed package. Major
improvements in the Glib module's handling of GObjects make it easy to
create your own objects/widgets in Perl, complete with signals and
properties.

Internet
Security
System :: Networking :: Firewalls

About: Ipfreeze is a program that listens to the netlink device. It takes
the source address from every incoming packet and adds it to a Netfilter
"blacklist" chain. The address is removed from this chain after a
user-definable period of time. This allows you to create rules that detect
and halt certain odd behaviors, such as ports scans, syn floods, or
connection attempts on forbidden ports. The attacker's IP address is
blacklisted using the QUEUE target. There is also a whitelist where you
can declare hosts that you never want to be blacklisted.

[032] - JavaGroups 2.1
by Bela Ban (http://freshmeat.net/users/belaban/)
Sunday, July 6th 2003 16:35

Software Development :: Libraries
System :: Clustering/Distributed Networks

About: JavaGroups is a Java package for reliable group communication. It
consists of 3 parts: The first part is a socket-like API for application
development, providing methods for joining and leaving a group, sending
multicast messages to members, and receiving notifications when members
join/leave/crash. The second part is a protocol stack which implements
reliable communication, and can be configured according to the QoS
desired. New protocols can easily be added, and existing ones
removed/replaced/modified. The third part is a set of building blocks
which give the application/protocol programmer high-level abstractions
(e.g. DistributedHashtable, derived from java.util.Hashtable, which is
similar to Linda/JavaSpaces).

Changes: This release has major performance improvements (the addition of
two flow control protocols, and a new aggressive distributed message
garbage collection protocol). It includes bugfixes and new functionality
as well.

harmless) holes in the logic, improves installation, improves portability,
and adds AppWatchMod to check for updates of app online.

[043] - Principia Mathematica II 0.00.52
by m31 (http://freshmeat.net/users/m31/)
Sunday, July 6th 2003 16:48

Documentation
Education
Scientific/Engineering :: Mathematics

About: The goal of Principia Mathematica II is the creation of a system
that enables a working mathematician to put theorems and proofs (in a
formal language) into it. These proofs are automatically verified by a
proof checker. Because this system is not centrally administered and
enables references to any location on the Internet, a world wide
mathematical knowledge base could be built. Any proof of a theorem in this
"mathematical web" could be drilled down to the very elementary rules and
axioms. To make it more than a huge number of correct formulas, it should
also contain information in "common mathematical language". Think of an
incredible number of mathematical textbooks with hyperlinks, and each of
its proofs could be verified by *pmii*. For each theorem, the dependency
of other theorems, definitions, and axioms could be easily derived.

[056] - Zero Install 0.1.11
by Thomas Leonard (http://freshmeat.net/users/tal197/)
Sunday, July 6th 2003 13:38

Internet
System :: Archiving :: Packaging
System :: Filesystems

About: The Zero Install system removes the need to install software or
libraries by running all programs from a network filesystem. The
filesystem in question is the Internet as a whole, with an aggressive
caching system to make it as fast as (or faster than) traditional systems
such as Debian's APT repository, and to allow for offline use. It doesn't
require any central authority to maintain it, and allows users to run
software without needing a root password.

Changes: Index files are now stored per-site rather than per-directory.
This is faster and ensures consistency. A GTK-2 popup progress monitor has
been written, available through Zero Install, and two new essays have been
added to the documentation: a comparison of Zero Install with APT, and a
discussion of the Zero Install security model.

operated entirely in Perl. It aspires to be a fully operational login
shell with all the features one normally expects. But it also gives direct
access to Perl objects and data structures from the command line, and
allows you to run Perl code within the scope of your commandline.

Changes: Critical bugs in both the job control code and the parsing of
logical lists were fixed. Two features were restored: tab expansion for
data structures and input/output redirections.
