by Nigel Kukard (http://freshmeat.net/users/nkukard/)
Sunday, November 30th 2003 06:50

Internet
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management
System :: Logging

About: Bandwidth Management Tools is a total bandwidth management solution
for Linux and can be used for firewalling, traffic graphing, and shaping.
It is not based on any currently-available bandwidth management software
and supports packet queues, bursting, complex traffic flow hierarchies,
flow groups, traffic logging, and a simple real-time monitoring front-end.

Changes: A bug which prevented compiling with old gcc versions was fixed.

[003] - Botan 1.3.5 (Development)
by Jack Lloyd (http://freshmeat.net/users/randombit/)
Sunday, November 30th 2003 08:05

Security :: Cryptography
Software Development :: Libraries

About: Botan is a library of cryptographic algorithms written in C++. It
includes a wide selection of block and stream ciphers, public key
algorithms, hash functions, and message authentication codes. It has an
easy-to-use filter interface and supports many common industry standards,
including X.509v3.

Changes: The handling of ASN.1 character strings has been significantly
improved. Porting to non-ASCII systems should be much easier, thanks to
the centralization of character set information. Several bugs in the
BER/DER code were fixed, and support for QNX has been added. Some initial
work on FIPS 140-2 requirements has been done.

About: BugList is a bug/feature tracking system focusing on being easy to
set up and use. It is written entirely in PHP, and only relies on PHP
and MySQL for setup. Its feature set matches the requirements of a small
to middle sized project. Apart from the standard categorization
features, it is very easy to create customized views of the outstanding
bugs. The system supports attachments and makes linking between bugs very
easy. The entire system is used and managed using a Web-interface.

[005] - CacheMate 3.1
by Brian Smith (http://freshmeat.net/users/avalon73/)
Sunday, November 30th 2003 12:01

Database

About: CacheMate is a database for tracking GPS cache hunts. You can store
information about caches or benchmarks, decode hints, and transfer data
between CacheMate and the MemoPad application. Registered users can also
import EasyGPS LOC and GPX files, available from Geocaching.com.

Changes: Settings for serial connections to GPS receivers were added, and
several enhancements and bugfixes were made to both plugin and enhanced
screen support. Other, smaller enhancements were also made.

[006] - Captive 1.1.1.2
by Jan Kratochvil (http://freshmeat.net/users/kratochvil/)
Sunday, November 30th 2003 07:42

System :: Filesystems

About: Captive provides full read/write access to NTFS disk drives in the
WINE way by using the original Microsoft Windows ntfs.sys driver. It
emulates the required subsystems of the Microsoft Windows kernel by
reusing one of the original ntoskrnl.exe, ReactOS parts, or this project's
own reimplementations on a case by case basis. Involvement of the original
driver files was chosen to achieve the best and unprecedented filesystem
compatibility and safety.

Changes: Some types of NTFS disk drives are no longer refused for
filesystem operations. Mounted partitions now have public reading
file/directory permissions. The set of MS-Windows XP drivers identified as
compatible with Captive has been extended, and this release also covers
the MS-Windows XP kernels compatibility for Microsoft SMP/PA kernels.

Communications :: Email :: Mail Transport Agents
Communications :: Email :: Post-Office

About: The Courier mail transfer agent (MTA) is an integrated
mail/groupware server based on open commodity protocols such as ESMTP,
IMAP, POP3, LDAP, SSL, and HTTP. Courier provides ESMTP, IMAP, POP3,
Webmail, and mailing list services within a single consistent framework.

[008] - CRM114 Discriminator 20031129-RC11
by Crah the Merciless (http://freshmeat.net/users/wsymerlcom/)
Sunday, November 30th 2003 12:09

Communications :: Email
System :: Logging
System :: Monitoring

About: CRM114 is a Controllable Regex Mutilator and Smart Filter, designed
for easy creation of filters for things like incoming email redirection,
spam filtering, system logs, or monitoring processes. Filtering rules can
be either hard-coded (such as regexes), soft-coded (calculated at runtime
or read from an external file or process), or learned dynamically by
phrase matching (by SBPH hashing). This makes it possible to create very
accurate filters with very little actual work. Accuracies over 99.9% are
achievable.

Changes: The few remaining non-critical bugs have been dealt with; no
remaining bugs rate higher than a P4. This version uses the new 0.6.2 TRE
regex engine, and so includes approximate matching. '\' escape handling
has been improved, and most escapes are now unnecessary. The embedded
algebraic/RPN math system is improved; it can compare string lengths, do
math, etc. This version also includes an improved "pad.crm" application
that is a useful associative-memory program (consider it a
meta-address-book for any type of textual data).

[010] - Elm ME+ PL109a (25) (Patch)
by Kari Hurtta (http://freshmeat.net/users/hurtta/)
Sunday, November 30th 2003 03:49

Communications :: Email
Communications :: Email :: Email Clients (MUA)
Communications :: Email :: Post-Office

About: Elm 2.4ME+ is based on Elm 2.4. It contains enhanced MIME and
character set support. It can read mail from POP or IMAP folders and can
pass mail to the PGP or GPG programs. It can also view digests as a
mailbox and reassemble fragmented (message/partial) messages. It includes
modules for TLS/SSL, iconv, and SMTP.

Changes: This patch addresses a panic when the IMAP server disconnected
during the password prompt, fixes initialization of internal-mailcaps and
metamail-mailcaps elmrc options, and fixes some cases where error
messages were not visible because of the exiting of Elm ME+. Security
fixes introduced in PL109S (25) are included.

by Radu Privantu (http://freshmeat.net/users/raduprv/)
Sunday, November 30th 2003 19:54

Communications :: Chat
Games/Entertainment :: Multi-User Dungeons (MUD)
Games/Entertainment :: Role-Playing

About: Eternal Lands is a multiplatform (Windows/Linux) 3D isometric
MMORPG. It requires a hardware-accelerated video card that supports at
least OpenGL 1.2.

Changes: The GUI was improved (the cursor changes its shape according to
the object it's under, and players can look at their trade partner's
items). The names show above players/NPCs/animals, and the stats window
has your EXP for each skill and the EXP needed for the next level. Many
client and server bugs were fixed. A new map (titanium mine, in Portland)
and 2 new monsters (skeletons and gargoyles) were added.

Sunday, November 30th 2003 08:04

Scientific/Engineering

About: Fachwerk calculates strut-and-tie models used by structural
engineers for analysing and designing reinforced concrete structures. The

[017] - gentoo 0.11.44
by Emil Brink (http://freshmeat.net/users/emilbrink/)
Sunday, November 30th 2003 08:38

Desktop Environment :: File Managers

About: gentoo is a file manager written in C. It uses the GTK+ toolkit,
and the two-pane concept, somewhat inspired by DOpus. gentoo strives to be
very configurable, and also to let you do all configuration from a GUI
within the program itself. Using advanced file typing and styling systems,
gentoo determines how to display files in its listings, and also how to
act on them. The package includes a set of over 120 unique handcrafted
icons, for many different types of files.

Changes: The way that gentoo deals with overwrites in almost all file
operations was overhauled, and should be much better, more powerful, and
more consistent now. Symlink copying was dumbed-down, since it was trying
too hard and ended up being confusing. Problems working with directories
containing colon and apostrophe characters should be gone now. A bug that
allowed both panes to have a focused row simultaneously was fixed. Various
other fixes were made.

[019] - Glan 0.0.0.9
by Oleg Shalnev (http://freshmeat.net/users/ovss/)
Sunday, November 30th 2003 06:12

Software Development :: Libraries

About: Glan is a Qt-based development platform for creating GUI oriented
client-server applications. It allows the developer to just write code
using the Qt programming style for the server side and forget about the
client side.

Changes: New versions of the GWidget, GFrame, GGroupBox, GButtonGroup,
GDialog, GButton, and GRadioButton classes were added. The examples are as
similar as possible to the Qt examples.

[020] - grsecurity 1.9.13 (Stable)
by spender (http://freshmeat.net/users/spender/)
Sunday, November 30th 2003 19:51

Security
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 MAC system, hardens syscalls, provides
full-featured auditing, and implements many of the OpenBSD randomness
features. It was written for performance, ease-of-use, and security. The
MAC system has an intelligent learning-mode, and all of grsecurity
supports a feature that logs the IP of the attacker that causes an alert
or audit.

Changes: Changes in this release include documentation updates,
performance enhancements, an initrd bugfix, and PaX updates including
PT_GNU_STACK and PT_GNU_HEAP support. grsecurity 1.9.13 is for the 2.4.23
kernel, and gradm has been updated for this release.

[022] - gtkpod 0.70
by Jorg Schuler (http://freshmeat.net/users/jcsjcs/)
Sunday, November 30th 2003 07:35

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio

About: gtkpod is a platform-independent GUI for Apple's iPod using GTK 2.
It allows you to import your existing iTunes database, add/delete
songs/playlists, edit ID3 tags, modify the iTunes database without having
the iPod connected, and synchronize at a later time. It also features
international charset support for ID3 tags, detects when adding already
existing songs, and more.

Changes: New features in this release are support of (unprotected) AAC
files (.m4a files) and an info window showing some statistics about your
iPod contents. The other changes are mainly small improvements with large
practical impact. For instance, "Add Tracks" can now be used to quickly
sync directories, the extended information file won't be voided when using
other programs to upload to the iPod, the "year" tag is fully supported,
and "track/tracks" as well as "disk/disks" tag formats are recognized.

[023] - harvest 1.9.15
by kjl (http://freshmeat.net/users/kjl/)
Sunday, November 30th 2003 16:59

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Indexing/Search
Internet :: Z39.50
Text Processing :: Indexing

About: Harvest is a system to collect information and make it searchable
using a Web interface. It can collect information using HTTP, FTP, NNTP,
and local files. Supported formats include HTML, DVI, PS, fulltext, mail,
man pages, news, troff, WordPerfect, C sources, and many more. Adding
support for new formats is easy due to Harvest's modular design.

[024] - IzSound 0.0.5
by Julien Ponge (http://freshmeat.net/users/JPz/)
Sunday, November 30th 2003 05:01

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio
Software Development :: Libraries

About: IzSound is a C++/STL stream-oriented sound processing library. It
has been designed around small DSP units that can be chained together to
operate on the sound data stream.

Changes: The Doxygen file has been updated (doxygen -u doxyfile). In
LibAOOutput, the driver can now be autodetected when passing 0 as the
driver string. Flanger now flushes its internal buffers when one of them
becomes empty. A segfault-prone bug was fixed. The configure script does
not specify an arbitrary "-Ox" flag anymore. In Flanger, some things had
not been correctly merged during a CVS update, but this problem is minor
as only a comment had not been updated and a useless "#define" had not
been removed.

[026] - Jagzilla beta-0.7.0 (Eclipse plugin)
by Mike G (http://freshmeat.net/users/mikkey/)
Sunday, November 30th 2003 14:02

Database :: Front-Ends
Software Development :: Bug Tracking

About: Jagzilla is a Java-based set of components built around Bugzilla.
It is fully compatible with Bugzilla (it uses the same database) and
provides many interesting components, including a core API to manage data,
an Eclipse plugin, a Web application (with nice reports), an email
processor to read an email address and add bugs from email messages, and a
Web services interface and client library.

Changes: This version is the first beta which is actually a release
candidate. This implementation requires database access to work, since the
Web services transport is not yet available (in this system).

Software Development :: Testing

About: Jameleon is an automated testing tool that separates applications
into features and allows those features to be tied together independently,
creating test cases. These automated test cases can then be data-driven
and executed against different environments. The goal is to create an
automated testing tool that can be used for the enterprise. A UI that ties
a series of features to a test case, generating both the test script and
the test case documentation is in the works.

Changes: This release adds a feature that auto-generates the test case
documentation based on the automation script, a generic JUnit plug-in for
integration testing, and even more very helpful information in the test
results. Many other minor features and bugfixes are also included in this
release.

[028] - java.sql.ResultSet DOM Wrapper 1.0rc-2
by Tal Rotbart (http://freshmeat.net/users/Opiuman/)
Sunday, November 30th 2003 16:55

Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
Text Processing :: Markup :: XML
Text Processing :: Markup :: XSL/XSLT

About: The java.sql.ResultSet DOM Wrapper implements the Java DOM
interface to represent a JDBC result-set. The resulting ResultSetDocument
does not contain the actual result-set data and meta-data, but instead
contains references to row and column indices. Because of this, it is very
memory efficient, but it requires that the result-set be created with
"scroll" capabilities. The wrapper is read-only, but since it implements
the standard interfaces, it allows the use of transformers such as Xalan
to perform XSLT transformation and XPath queries on the SQL result-set.

Changes: The ability to clear the result-set wrapper for garbage
collection has been added. There is a small compatibility fix to allow for
an old version of Xalan which choked on a null return from getNodeValue().
It returns an empty string instead. So far, there are no known bugs. This
wrapper has been used in a production heavy environment for the last
month.

[029] - JCalendar 0.75

Sunday, November 30th 2003 13:55

Software Development :: Libraries
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries

About: The JCalendar library is a set of Java classes that provides a
ComboBox (JCalendarComboBox) for selecting a Date and a simple Panel
(JCalendarPanel) for showing and editing a Date. It was written with two
rules in mind. The first is to use the current Look and Feel instead of
hard-coded Fonts or Colors. The second is to use the default or a given
Locale for determining such values as the start of week and names of days
and months instead of hard-coded locale behavior.

Changes: This release adds a new JCalendarDialog class and language
support for Portuguese, Italian, and the Netherlands. If JCalendarComboBox
was reused, the Ancestor was wrong. Pressing the button while JCalendar
was open became confused under some circumstances.

Sunday, November 30th 2003 07:27

System :: Networking
System :: Systems Administration

About: Linux Bandwidth Arbitrator allows beginning-to-advanced network
administrators to control bandwidth. It is designed to be completely
turn-key in its default configuration. You just plug it into your network
trunk, and it self configures and immediately starts slowing "bandwidth
hogs". It can be configured to target specific applications such as Kazaa,
IMAP, and POP. It also comes with denial of service protection and a
special reservation system for voice and video traffic QOS.

Changes: The administrative GUI has been completely revamped with a new
professional look and feel. The new QOS GUI provides a live real time
graphic display showing your priority (VOIP) traffic and data traffic
separately. You can request demo units (when available) for trial. You can
also access a live, running traditional bandwidth arbitrator from the new
live demo link.

by Peter Bienstman (http://freshmeat.net/users/pbienst/)
Sunday, November 30th 2003 07:47

Education
Education :: Computer Aided Instruction (CAI)

About: MemAid is like a traditional flashcard program to help you memorize
question/answer pairs, but with an important twist: it uses a neural
network to schedule the best time for an item to come up for review.
Difficult items that you tend to forget quickly will be scheduled more
often, while MemAid won't waste your time on things you remember well.
This means that your learning process becomes much more efficient, because
the neural network gradually adapts to your personal memory model.

Changes: An option to edit the current item was added. Better handling of
newlines and < literals was implemented. An error related to
setdefaultencoding on some platforms was fixed. A bug which occurred when
loading a new database using the SuperKaramba widget was fixed.

tool for all your formatting needs.

external file contents into the source document. Emacs users will enjoy
the new syntax highlight file, rewritten from scratch. Some user reported
bugs were fixed, and regex checking was added to the Pre/Post processing
filters. This is the last 1.x series release.

it's easy to see what has passed already and what shows have yet to start.

Sunday, November 30th 2003 06:08

Communications :: Chat :: Internet Relay Chat
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: Message Boards

About: WikiChump listens in an IRC channel like a traditional chump bot,
but rather than creating separate HTML and RSS pages, it adds the
information to a wiki in realtime.

Changes: The syntax was changed to allow usage with Perlbot v1.9.5 and
perl v5.8.2. "%7E" is automatically generated in place of "~", to adjust
for phpWiki's inability to process the tilde character. Multiple comments
are inserted in descending order rather than ascending order.
