Thursday, July 17th 2003 08:17
Text Processing :: Filters
About: abcpp is a simple yet powerful preprocessor designed for, but not
limited to, ABC music files. It was written to overcome incompatibilities
between ABC packages, and to allow one to write portable, and more
readable ABC files.
Changes: In this release, the user can change old-style chords (which are
'+'-delimited) to be bracket-delimited. End-of-line '!'s can be deleted or
replaced with !break!.

[003] - ADIOS boot CD 1.30
by nrichter (http://freshmeat.net/users/nrichter/)
Thursday, July 17th 2003 08:38
Desktop Environment :: Gnome
Desktop Environment :: K Desktop Environment (KDE)
Desktop Environment :: Window Managers :: IceWM
About: ADIOS boot CD is built using Red Hat 8.0 and Linux 2.4.19 with
additional support for Cloop/squashfs, LIDS, and FreeSwan. The CD can run
from RAM, or use FAT/EXT files for /var, or copy the CD to FAT/EXT files.
The user can choose from KDE, GNOME, or IceWM. The user can start User
Mode Linux (UML) virtual machines, each of which can start X. Each of the
virtual machines can be networked via virtual ethernet switches and hubs.
ADIOS requires at least 128MB RAM to run X11.
Changes: The following trusted kernels were added: LIDS to boot CD, LIDS
and RSBAC for UML virtual machines, and SELinux only for option 5. It is
now possible to locate the /var directory on a USB storage device.
ntfsresize was added to the run menu so that option 5 can install the CD
to disk. The size of the UML filesystem was increased to 500MBs.

[005] - Arbitrary Command Output Colourer 0.4.2
by Ian Macdonald (http://freshmeat.net/users/ianmacd/)
Thursday, July 17th 2003 00:13
Desktop Environment :: Theme
Desktop Environment :: Theme Resources :: Fonts
System :: Console Fonts
About: acoc is a regular-expression based colour formatter for programs
that display output on the command-line. It works as a wrapper around the
target program, executing it and capturing the stdout stream. Optionally,
stderr can be redirected to stdout, so that it, too, can be manipulated.
acoc then applies matching rules to patterns in the output and applies
colours to those matches.
Changes: In this version, colouring is no longer performed if the $ACOC
environment variable is set to 'none'. This provides a quick way to
disable acoc on a per- command basis. The sample colour configs in /etc/
acoc.conf were improved and minor fixes were made. Ruby's standard PTY
module is now used, rather than Ruby/TPty. This removes a dependency on
an external module. Lastly, some code cleanups were performed.

About: asterisk-oh323 adds H.323 support to the ASTERISK soft PBX. It
does this by interfacing the OpenH323 library to ASTERISK through a
loadable module. The package provides the channel driver as well as a
wrapper in a shared library form. It is able to initiate and receive
calls to and from H.323 endpoints, and has been successfully tested with
the H.323 terminals on the OpenH323 site (ohphone, openphone) and
Microsoft NetMeeting.
Changes: This release improves sound quality, improves detection of
flash-hook and Music on Hold, and adds configurable port ranges.

About: The goal of the Benson Distributed Monitoring System project is to
make a distributed monitoring system with the extensibility and
flexibility of mod_perl. The end goal is for system administrators to be
able to script up their own alerts and monitors into an extensible
framework which hopefully lets them get sleep at night. The communication
layer uses standard sockets, and the scripting language for the handlers
is Perl. It includes command line utilities for sending, listing, and
acknowledging traps, and starting up the benson system. There is also a
Perl module interface to the benson network requests.

supports access control lists on mailboxes and storage quotas on mailbox
hierarchies, multiple SASL mechanisms, and the Sieve mail filtering
language.

use of annotations for some administrative operations. The sieve bytecode
is also now portable across platforms. The virtual domain code has seen a
substantial number of bugfixes, along with many other minor improvements
throughout the code.

[029] - File Service Protocol 2.8.1b8 (Beta)
by Radim Kolar (http://freshmeat.net/users/hsn/)
Thursday, July 17th 2003 14:44
Internet :: File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
About: FSP is a UDP-based protocol for transferring files. It has many
benefits over FTP, mainly for running anonymous archives. It is usable on
lines with high packet loss ratio (70% WiFi), can go behind firewalls and
unoticed by port scans (because of UDP), does not overload networks when
hosting ISOs or movies, share files on modem lines without eating all of
the bandwidth, and keeps lamers away from your site (they don't know how
to get to it). This project is active continuation of the FSP code base
(abandoned for the last 5 years).
Changes: Do not build in debug mode by default. Updated man pages and
example fspd configuration. Updated FSP protocol document. There is a
better check for shell type in fhostcmd. All prints have been removed
while not in debug mode. It also compiles with GCC versions lower than
3.0. The server can do setgid().

[031] - Freenet 0.5.2 (Stable)
by Ian Clarke (http://freshmeat.net/users/sanity/)
Thursday, July 17th 2003 08:22
Communications
Internet
About: Freenet is a peer-to-peer network designed to allow the
distribution of information over the Internet in an efficient manner,
without fear of censorship. It is completely decentralized (there is no
person or computer essential to its operation), meaning that Freenet
cannot be attacked like centralized peer-to-peer systems such as Napster.
Freenet also employs intelligent routing and caching to learn to route
requests more efficiently, automatically mirror popular data, make network
flooding almost impossible, and move data to where it is in greatest
demand.
Changes: New features include NIO technology that brings improved
performance while using less CPU and system resources. Individual nodes
are now more efficient, and the speed and routing of the entire network
were significantly improved. Probabilistic caching was implemented, which
further improves routing and lets Freenet store and find more data. Some
user interface improvements were made. More improvements were made for
downloads of large files. The Heisenbug and tons of other bugs were fixed.

arbitrary XML documents into Python objects), xml.validity (enforces XML
validity constraints via DTD or Schema), xml.indexer (full text
indexing/searching), and many more.
Changes: This release contains enhancements to gnosis.xml.objectify. The
_XO_.__repr__ method was added to make nodes print in a nicer, more
compact fashion. The _seq attribute was added to node objects to support
structure preserving convenience functions. The default parser was changed
to expat. If you have relied on the special attribute _XML that the DOM
parser attaches to nodes, you will now need to explicitly specify DOM as
the parser used.

Thursday, July 17th 2003 01:17
Database
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management
Scientific/Engineering
About: Moodss (the Modular Object Oriented Dynamic SpreadSheet) displays
data described and updated in one or more modules loaded at startup time
or dynamically. Data is originally displayed in tables. Graphical viewers,
summary tables, free text viewers, and threshold entries can be created
from any number of table cells. Moodss has full drag'n'drop support in the
UI, and comes with numerous modules for system, database, network, and
other types of monitoring. New modules can be developed in Tcl, Perl,
Python, or C. A monitoring daemon (moomps) for UNIX is included. It can
react to thresholds and record data history in any database for later
analysis or for presentation using common software.
Changes: In this version, support for the file-based SQLite database was
added in order to include a simple database history feature for single
users, on top of the existing full-fledged database support (MySQL,
PostgreSQL, Oracle, etc.). The SQLite library was included in the moodss
RPM package. The usual minor improvements and bugfixes were also made.

[057] - Moto 0.20.0 (Development)
by Dave Hakim (http://freshmeat.net/users/dhakim/)
Thursday, July 17th 2003 19:47
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries
About: Moto is a server-side scripting language much like PHP or
ColdFusion. The difference between Moto and other server-side scripting
languages is that Moto pages can run interpreted (like PHP) or be natively
compiled into dynamically loadable Apache modules (an entire Web site
could be compiled into one .so file). It comes with a full suite of
objects and functions for state and session management, MySQL and
PostgreSQL database connectivity, and a slew of utility classes like
stacks, hashtables, string buffers, etc. There is also an included
interface definition language for exposing C functions to Moto. All object
allocation occurs in a shared memory segment, so maintaining state in
objects between page views is a snap.
Changes: This release adds support for Operator Overloading in Moto!
Overloaded operators may be declared in moto extensions and used inside
Moto programs allowing programmers to write more compact, readable, and
most importantly fun code! Perl programmers may now comfortably write
foo["bar"] = "baz", while C++ purists enjoy the pleasure of intersecting
sets with the * operator. To demonstrate this new feature many newly
overloaded operators are included in the codex util extension. Function
lookup performance has also been dramatically improved, leading to better
performance in interpreted mode.

[064] - ObjectScript 1.4 (Stable)
by Rob Clark (http://freshmeat.net/users/robatti/)
Thursday, July 17th 2003 14:38
Software Development :: Compilers
Software Development :: Interpreters
About: ObjectScript is a general purpose object-oriented programming
language. It is designed to be simple to learn, easy to use, and powerful,
combining the convenience of an interactive interpreter with many of the
features of Java: a simple Java-like syntax, javadoc support, a class
system (single inheritance), private vs. public fields and methods,
exceptions, synchronization and threading, etc. Since it can be
interactively interpreted, ObjectScript can be used to debug or learn Java
systems. And since it supports extending Java classes and interfaces, it
can add sophisticated scripting to an existing Java application.
Changes: This release has a JUI WYSIWYG GUI editor, a new plugin wizard,
an update to use the latest BCEL (v5.1), and fixed bytecode generated to
implement try/catch/finally.

by Thorsten Kukuk (http://freshmeat.net/users/kukuk/)
Thursday, July 17th 2003 11:16
System :: Systems Administration
About: pwdutils is a collection of utilities to manage the passwd and
shadow user information. The difference to the shadow suite is that these
utilities can also modify the information stored in NIS, NIS+, or LDAP.
PAM is used for user authentication and changing the pasword. It contains
passwd, chage, chfn, chsh, and a daemon for changing the password on a
remote machine over a secure SSL connection. The daemon also uses PAM so
that it can change passwords independent of where they are stored.
Changes: A rewrite of the LDAP functions was done to meet demands.
chpasswd is now able to change LDAP passwords too. There were a lot of
bugfixes for useradd, and a user is now able to abort chfn/chsh.

Desktop Environment :: Window Managers
About: Ratpoison is a simple window manager with no large library
dependencies, no fancy graphics, no window decorations, and no rodent
dependence. It is largely modeled after GNU Screen, which has done wonders
in the virtual terminal market. All interaction with the window manager is
done through keystrokes. ratpoison has a prefix map to minimize the key
clobbering that cripples EMACS and other quality pieces of software. All
windows are maximized and kept maximized to avoid wasting precious screen
space.

by Paul Whittaker (http://freshmeat.net/users/whitpa/)
Thursday, July 17th 2003 19:48
System :: Networking
Utilities
About: rrshd differs from rshd in that it ignores the remote user's
alleged identity and credentials, and unconditionally runs local tasks as
a specific unprivileged user ("nobody" or similar). It will only allow
execution of programs listed in a configuration file (/etc/rrsh.allow),
and will exec those programs directly without using an intermediary shell
of any kind. It also has TCP wrapper support. These modifications make it
a good deal more secure than traditional rshd.
Changes: /etc/rrsh.allow is read before dropping privileges (so that the
file may be readable only by root).

Software Development :: Code Generators
Software Development :: Libraries
Software Development :: User Interfaces
About: Uxtobx processes user interfaces generated by the UIM/X Motif GUI
Builder tool developed by Actional and converts them into an UIL file
that ICS’s Builder Xcessory (BX PRO) can read and manipulate. Conversion
is accomplished by giving the tool a list of files on the command line,
which are read in and parsed. The resulting BX PRO UIL file is written to
stdout and can be saved using standard file redirection. Any C/C++ code
saved in a .i file is moved into a file called usercode.c during
conversion process. After conversion, the user starts BX PRO and reads
in the generated UIL file.
Changes: This version combines the processing of the native UIM/X save
format (known as ".i's") with UIM/X UIL generation. This unique,
dual-phase approach provides a more complete conversion of UIM/X-built
user interfaces so that they can be maintained and enhanced by Builder
Xcessory PRO (BX PRO). Also new is built-in support for converting user
interfaces that employ the XRT widget family.

About: VIA High Speed Serial is a little kernel module (1 KB) which
enables high speed serial port modes of VIA VT82C686A or VT82C686B
southbridge-equipped motherboards. Basically, this is developed for
ISDN-TAs, which at least in europe are constrained by the normal serial
port speed of 115200 bit/s. With this module, you can use the serial port
at 230400 bit/s so that you can get the full 128000 bit/s from ISDN-TA.
The module has been tested with both 686A and 686B chipsets. Functionality
is the same as with SHSMOD patches, but you don't have to patch the serial
port driver.
Changes: This version is ported to 2.5/2.6 kernels.

[096] - webredirect 0.3
by Rasmus Kaj (http://freshmeat.net/users/rkaj/)
Thursday, July 17th 2003 14:37
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
About: webredirect is an extremely small Web server that gives the "301
Moved Permanently" response to all GET, HEAD, and POST responses. All
other requests are unsupported and result in a "501 Not Supported"
response.
Changes: The C++ code is upgraded to follow the C++ standard (so it works
with gcc 3.x and should work with other standard-compliant C++ compilers).
Two command line options are added, to redirect temporarily instead of
permanently and to redirect all requests to just the base target, without
the path/file part of the requested URI appended.

Multimedia :: Graphics :: 3D Rendering
About: white_dune is a graphical VRML97 editor. VRML97 (Virtual Reality
Modeling Language) is the ISO standard for displaying 3D data over the Web
via browser plugins. It has support for animation, realtime interaction
and multimedia (image, movie, sound). White_dune can read VRML97 files,
display and let the user change the scenegraph/fields, and load and store
x3d (the next generation VRML XML format) files if configured to work with
the nist.gov x3d translators. It also has support for stereoscopic view
via "quadbuffer"-capable stereo visuals, and support for 3D input devices
like a joystick, spaceball, or magnetic tracker.
Changes: Dragging of handles to navigation mode, a fix for a problem with
LOD where if more levels than ranges are specified, the extra levels are
ignored (ISO/IEC 14772), temporary switch off of stereomode with button 3
of the mouse, and a portability bugfix.

[099] - Worm Warner 2.2
by jnieuwen (http://freshmeat.net/users/jnieuwen/)
Thursday, July 17th 2003 11:23
System :: Monitoring
About: WormWarner is a Perl script that is used to warn hosts that are
probably infected by a worm. It decides wether a host is infected by
analyzing the data from the Apache log files. It currently recognizes
CodeRed, Nimda, the Linux.Slapper.Worm, and the FreeBSD.Scalper.worm.
Warning is done by trying to contact the SMTP server on the infected host
and sending an email to the postmaster.
Changes: The scripts now use a GDBM database to keep statistics about the
warnings that were sent. This database is also used for rate control to
avoid sending too many warnings for the same IP. The ATD-Mass exploiter
was added to the recognized attacks. The IP and timezone of the host which
runs the script are included in messages to the ISP. Some small bugs were
fixed.
