[023] - EvRouter 0.3
by Alexios Chouchoulas (http://freshmeat.net/users/alexiosc/)
Thursday, January 29th 2004 09:11

System
Utilities

About: EvRouter reads events from the Linux input layer, and acts on them
according to a user-specified set of rules. Currently, EvRouter can map
events to X11 key and button presses, XMMS commands, and it can also run
shell commands. EvRouter is intended to help legacy applications
understand modern events such as mouse wheel movement and special keys on
keyboards. It also offers hotkey-like functions, and can help existing
modern applications deal with events that, for one reason or another, X11
is unaware of (as long as they are accessible through a Linux event
device).

Changes: This release can only read input from the Linux event interface.
It can dispatch events via the XTest extension (X keys and buttons),
execute shell commands, and control XMMS.

[024] - File Integrity Command & Control 1.2.1
by Terry Ott (http://freshmeat.net/users/TDOFreshmeat/)
Thursday, January 29th 2004 19:08

System :: Monitoring
System :: Networking :: Monitoring
System :: Systems Administration

About: File Integrity Command & Control (FICC) helps system administrators
manage multiple Tripwire installations. It maintains MD5 hashes for three
key Tripwire files (the config file, executable, and TW database) for
every system it monitors. It then verifies that the MD5 checksum of these
key files against the signatures in its file checksum database. If all
signatures match those in the database, it then connects to the host via
SSH and runs Tripwire. If any of the signatures do not match those in the
database or Tripwire detects file system changes, an email is sent to the
"FICC administrator" of the system in question.

Changes: This release is mostly an update to documentation. There are no
new features or bugfixes. It contains an update to the updateDB script so
it now honors the "quick_check" configuration option, reducing bandwidth
usage. It includes a contrib/ directory with a script that makes it easier
to update the FICC host DB from a FICC target.

"dot" file. It differs from the existing tools by relying on the Ant API
rather than XML parsing to get the dependencies.

Changes: This release adds internal rewrites to prepare filter
implementation.

Thursday, January 29th 2004 10:28

Communications :: Email :: Email Clients (MUA)
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content

About: IlohaMail is a lightweight, multilingual Webmail client that is
easy to use and install. It runs on a stock build of PHP, and does not
require databases (although database support is available) or the IMAP
library (it is powered by a custom IMAP/POP3 library). It also includes
basic PIM-like features, including a calendar/scheduler, a full fledged
contacts manager, and a bookmarks manager.

Changes: This version fixes a crippling bug that stripped, instead of
filtered, input on systems with PHP's magic_quotes_gpc turned off. A bug
where messages were not sent to BCC recipients when using PHP's mail()
function (instead of the built-in SMTP library) has also been fixed. This
release also includes updates to a few translations, as well as other
minor bugfixes.

Utilities

About: KAlarm lets you configure personal messages to be displayed,
commands to be executed, or emails to be sent, at scheduled times. It
allows you to choose the message font and color, how often to repeat,
whether to display an advance reminder, whether to play a sound when the

Thursday, January 29th 2004 05:08

Artistic Software
Scientific/Engineering :: Mathematics
Scientific/Engineering :: Visualization

About: Kandid is a system to evolve graphics. Graphics, in Kandid, are not
drawn by hand. Instead, new forms can be found using genetic algorithms.
To achieve this aim Kandid simulates evolution using sexual reproduction
and mutation. But there is no fitness function inside the program. Only
the user can decide what images are interesting. Populations and genes can
be stored in XML format. Image calculation is based on Iterated Function
Systems, Linear Cellular Automata, and Voroni diagrams.

Changes: New in this version are expressions based on vector calculations,
to produce images using the hue, saturation, and brightness color model.

[043] - Linux Video Project 0.3.0
by blindCoder (http://freshmeat.net/users/blindcoder/)
Thursday, January 29th 2004 06:36

Multimedia :: Video :: Display

About: The Linux Video Project attempts to create a live-DVD (CDs are too
small) which boots on any x86 system, initializes its hardware (most
notably sound), and plays video on that system. It uses the ROCK Linux
Distribution Build Kit for building the live-system.

Changes: The live system was shrunk to 25MB without any loss of features,
making the use of LVP on CDs reasonable. Programs are now linked
statically to eliminate seeking for libraries, which costs a lot of time
on slower drives. lvpxml.sh was made easier to use and now utilizes 100%
available space on the selected medium.

About: lvs-rrd is a tool to collect connection data from an LVS, store
them in RRD files, and later graph that data so that trends can be
observed.

Changes: An option "-s" has been added that outputs a separate graph for
active and inactive connections. This is useful for people with lopsided
data (e.g. 7000 inactive and 5 active), which is common with masq setups.
There is some code cleanup.

[045] - MultiTail 3.0.5
by Folkert van Heusden (http://freshmeat.net/users/fvh/)
Thursday, January 29th 2004 10:30

Utilities

About: MultiTail lets you view one or multiple files like the original
tail program. The difference is that it creates multiple windows on your
console (with ncurses). Merging of 2 or more log files is possible. It can
also use colors while displaying the log files (through regular
expressions) for faster recognition of what is important. It can also
filter lines (again with regular expressions). It has interactive menus
for editing given regular expressions and deleting and adding windows. One
can also have windows with the output of shell scripts and other software.
When viewing the output of external software, MultiTail can mimic the
functionality of tools like 'watch'.

Changes: When using the normal 'tail' program, one can press enter a
couple of times to set a marker. That is now also possible in this
release. Screen redraws have been optimized.

[046] - MUTE File Sharing 0.2.2
by Jason Rohrer (http://freshmeat.net/users/jcr13/)
Thursday, January 29th 2004 08:01

Communications :: File Sharing
Security :: Cryptography

About: MUTE File Sharing is an anonymous, decentralized
search-and-download file sharing system. Several people have described
MUTE as the "third generation file sharing network" (From Napster to
Gnutella to MUTE, with each generation getting less centralized and more
anonymous). MUTE uses algorithms inspired by ant behavior to route all
messages, include file transfers, through a mesh network of neighbor
connections.

Changes: Static download timeouts have been replaced with dynamic timeouts
that adjust to the current transfer speed. This dramatically improves the
success rate for slower transfers and should eliminate most download
failure issues.

Thursday, January 29th 2004 10:23

Software Development :: User Interfaces
System :: Shells

About: optcomplete is a Python module that provides programmable shell
completion support for Python scripts that use the optparse module. It
implements the Bash completion protocol, and a simple common shell
function invokes the script to provide the completion suggestions. As an
optparse parser already contains most of the useful information to provide
completions, only two lines of code are required to provide basic support
for completions to an existing script. It also allows the developer to
provide per-option completion, etc.

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: CD Audio :: CD Writing

About: PhonoRipper aims to be an easy-to-handle all-in-one GUI tool for
creating audio CDs from analog sources like vinyl records. The main parts
are just graphical frontends to well-known commandline programs, so some
dependencies must be fulfilled to run PhonoRipper. English and German
versions are available.

Changes: This release introduces a couple of Tkinter "MegaWidgets" that
replace the Tix widgets that were used before. Thus Tix is now no longer
required. A few bugs have been fixed, some of them affecting
Python2.3/Tk8.4 compatibility, so Phonoripper now works with Python2.3, as
well as with Python2.2.

extendibility evoke many other uses.

Changes: This release fixes a problem which caused ssh to hang when
(re)starting piktd (open file descriptors are now handled correctly),
broken piktd alert timing on 64-bit systems (such as Alpha), broken
backslash escapes in macro args, several bugs involving the use of #indent
and #unindent within #include files, and several minor bugs/glitches. It
removes the arbitrary limits to the length of macro expansions.

Text Processing :: Markup :: XML

About: RNV is an implementation of Relax NG Compact Syntax validator. It
is written in ANSI C and the command-line utility uses Expat. It is a part
of an on-going work, and the current code may have bugs and shortcomings;
however, it validates documents against a number of grammars.

Changes: Two ways to use extension datatype libraries have been
implemented: either external program or built-in Scheme interpreter. These
allow the datatype-checking capabilities of Relax NG to be extended far
beyond the scope of XML Schema datatypes. RNV now parses external system
entities, as it was an omission not to implement this earlier. Memory
usage and diagnostics have been improved. The source code has been
rearranged again for better modularity.

[078] - Virtual Private Ethernet 1.5
by Marc A. Lehmann (http://freshmeat.net/users/pcg1/)
Thursday, January 29th 2004 16:21

Communications
Internet
System

About: VPE creates a virtual ethernet by creating host-to-host tunnels
between multiple endpoints. Unlike other virtual private "network"
solutions which merely create a single tunnel, it creates a real network
with multiple endpoints. It is designed to be very simple and easy to
setup. It can also be used to tunnel into some VPN network using a
variety of protocols. It is, however, primarily designed to sit on the
gateway machines of company branches to connect them together.

Changes: This release fixes a longstanding bug that affected routers only
and caused zeroing of queued control packets, resulting in harmless but
scary-looking error messages and slightly delayed connections between
hosts. It adds better error reporting when the node configuration is wrong
and updates the LZF code to 1.2. The protocol is unchanged.

includes the beginings of a new ui-lib.pl library for generating common
Webmin UI elements. The Disk Quotas module can now display in kilobytes
instead of blocks, on systems when the block size is known. There is
better MD5 encryption handling in the Users and Groups module, including
support for FreeBSD. The Users and Groups module now works out UIDs and
GIDs at creation time, rather than when the new user or group for is
displayed.
