[001] - a place to go 0.4.1
by Tillmann Heidsieck (http://freshmeat.net/users/jashugan/)
Saturday, July 26th 2003 14:50

Communications :: Email :: Post-Office :: IMAP

About: aptg(2) (a place to go) is a Web-based email client written in PHP,
using localhost connections to a running IMAP4 server. It is designed to
work with Postfix. Authentication is against a MySQL database as used by
pam_mysql (username + password) or by using one of the virtual email
addresses (also stored in the MySQL database) and that password. A
powerful addressbook is also included. It uses its own session handling
system with one-time session ids.

Changes: Password changes are now possible. IMAP folder actions
(create/delete) were added. A small range of personal options can be set
(first name, last name, signature, and favorite email address), and they
are used when sending messages.

[009] - Contentment Web Content Manager 0.3.0
by Sterling Hanenkamp (http://freshmeat.net/users/hanenkamp/)
Saturday, July 26th 2003 16:13

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

About: The Contentment Web Content Manager is a simple web content
management system. It is intended to be easy to use, and is for people who
want to quickly update pages. Once installed, a person can simply alter
the design and content of the site through HTML forms.

Changes: This is almost a total rewrite from the previous version. It is
much more stable. Contentment is still not really useful, but it is fast
approaching usefulness. It still lacks a security manager and refinements,
but the API should now start to stabilize.

[011] - CWirc 0.9.0
by Pierre-Philippe Coupard
(http://freshmeat.net/users/pierrephilippecoupar/)
Saturday, July 26th 2003 18:32

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 sound card,
or through an external sounder.

Changes: Support for an external sounder connected to a serial port has
been added, the documentation has been reorganized and corrected, and the
Makefile has been corrected to not produce an error on non-Debian boxes
when compiling the plugin.

Saturday, July 26th 2003 10:17

Software Development :: Version Control
Software Development :: Version Control :: CVS

About: The Distributed Concurrent Versioning System (DCVS) extends the
well-known version control system CVS and the file distribution and
synchronization program CVSup with functionality to distribute CVS
repositories with local lines of development and handle synchronization of
the distributed repositories automatically in the background. Development
lines (branches) are owned by a repository server, repository servers
efficiently update each other via CVSup, and CVS ensures correct server
use on checkin and branch creation.

Changes: Import of CVS 1.12.1, import of current CVSup sources, secure
transport via ssh, an improved build system (simultaneous build support
for heterogenous platforms), test expect data, test diff automation, and
bugfixes.

[013] - Distributor load balancer 0.6.5
by Jason Heiss (http://freshmeat.net/users/jheiss/)
Saturday, July 26th 2003 13:33

About: Distributor is a software TCP load balancer. Like other load
balancers, it accepts connections and distributes them to an array of back
end servers. It is compatible with any standard TCP protocol (HTTP, LDAP,
IMAP, etc.) and is also IPv6 compatible. It has many unique and advanced
features and a high-performance architecture.

Changes: A fix was made for handling data that can't be immediately
transmitted to its destination, eliminating a potential source of hanging.
Things were fixed so that a target address can be specified as an IPv6
address. An option was added to allow TCP half close support to be turned
off.

About: execline is a very light, non-interactive scripting language,
which is similar to a shell. Simple shell scripts can be easily rewritten
in the execline language, improving performance and memory usage.
execline was designed for use in embedded systems, but works on most
Unix flavors.

Changes: This release of execline makes scripts reentrant, so that you
can now write execline commands in the execline language. It also adds
some basic commands, and fixes a few minor bugs.

[015] - FirePay 0.9.0
by flamingcow (http://freshmeat.net/users/flamingcow66/)
Saturday, July 26th 2003 22:31

Communications :: Email :: Filters
Security :: Cryptography

About: FirePay is an implementation of the HashCash/MIME
(application/postage-hashcash) specification. HashCash is an anti-spam,
anti-DoS system for email. The concept centers around the sender of the
mail completing a computationally expensive task (in this case, generating
hash collisions) that the recipient can verify very quickly. This allows
the sender to "pay" for transport in CPU cycles, creating artificial
scarcity. Programs are included to add payment to messages (for the
sender) and to verify message payment (for the recipient).

Saturday, July 26th 2003 11:30

Desktop Environment :: GNUstep

About: GNUstep is a set of general-purpose Objective-C libraries based on
the OpenStep standard developed by NeXT (now Apple) Inc. The libraries
consist of everything from foundation classes, such as dictionaries and

[025] - gpgdir 0.2
by Michael Rash (http://freshmeat.net/users/michaelrash/)
Saturday, July 26th 2003 10:21

Security :: Cryptography

About: gpgdir is a Perl script that uses the CPAN GnuPG module to encrypt
and decrypt directories using a GPG key specified in ~/.gpgdirrc. It
supports recursively descending through a directory in order to make sure
it encrypts or decrypts every file in a directory and all of its
subdirectories. In order to help save space, all files can optionally be
compressed using gzip before encryption and decompressed upon decryption.
In addition, gpgdir is careful not to encrypt hidden files and
directories.

Changes: A fix for not properly specifying gpg key ID, better error
reporting, and changing default options to compress/uncompress only if
--compress or --uncompress options are specified.

Saturday, July 26th 2003 14:36

Multimedia :: Graphics :: 3D Modeling

About: Kludge3d is a simple 3D model editor in the spirit of Worldcraft or
Milkshape. It is the offspring of several other GTK-based editors, with
the best features taken from each. As the name implies, kludge3d is a
kludge.

Changes: The texture manager was rewritten to make use of GTK2's new list
API. The bottom status bar code was rewritten and now works. The wavefront
loader was fixed. A .md2 model loader was added. A .pcx texture loader was
added. A GdkPixbuf-based texture loader was added, which means that nearly
all image formats can now be loaded. The ability to flip the orthographic
views around was added.

[031] - kowey-generic 14
by Eric Kow (http://freshmeat.net/users/kowey/)
Saturday, July 26th 2003 13:04

About: Kowey-generic is a set of templates for easily packaging your
programming projects. These templates produce packages that the user
simply downloads and runs with no mess or fuss. For example, no CLASSPATH
nonsense is needed for Java programs. These templates also help Java
developers to adopt better coding habits by generating unit test skeletons
with JUnitDoclet. Kowey-generic can be extended for other languages
besides Java.

Changes: A rudimentary upgrade mechanism was created. This allows your
packages to be more easily upgraded to this and future versions of
kowey-generic.

Saturday, July 26th 2003 10:15

Database
Software Development :: Libraries

About: psycopg is a PostgreSQL database adapter for the Python programming
language. Its main advantages are that it supports the full Python DBAPI
2.0 and it is thread safe at level 2. It was designed for heavily
multi-threaded applications that create and destroy lots of cursors and
make a conspicuous number of concurrent INSERTs or UPDATEs. The psycopg
distribution includes ZPsycopgDA, a Zope Database Adapter.

Changes: The execute method now accepts any object defining __getitem__,
not only dicts. Also, two new methods were added to the cursor object:
notifies to get a list of pending NOTIFY and fileno to make the cursor
useable as an argument to the standard select function.

Changes: The call to "date -d" was replaced with the use of str2time from
Date::Parse. The two openssl calls were merged into one for efficiency.
Variables were created to point to the openssl and sendmail binaries. The
use of "mail" was replaced with "sendmail -t", since the mail command
could easily introduce security flaws. Some typos were fixed.
