[001] - AnomicHTTPProxy 0.23
by Michael Christen (http://freshmeat.net/users/Orbiter/)
Sun, Aug 8th 2004 17:45

Communications :: File Sharing
Information Management
Internet :: Proxy Servers

About: The AnomicHTTPProxy is a caching proxy. Pages that pass the proxy
are indexed and can be searched using a built-in HTTP server. Proxies can
connect each other and form a p2p-based index exchange network, based on
distributed hash tables. The proxy can therefore be used as a global
search and distributed indexing engine. A specialized database engine is
included, which makes installation and running the proxy very easy. Other
features are: blacklisting (URL filtering) with blacklist distribution,
and access control with IP filters and/or HTTP authentication.

Changes: Enhanced Message Passing and URL blocking with multiple
blacklists, many minor bugfixes and enhancements (httpd speedup, POST
command, double-link checking, headline beautification, better
bootstrapping, auto-migration of settings, better logging, better search
requesting, and a proxy-proxy mode for p2p protocols). There is better
documentation: a new FAQ and a wiki on the demo page.

applets to have their applet INI inside the executable jar file, the
movement of the Application Icon to inside the executable jar file,
dynamic multilingual support, dynamic semi-transparent frame support,
dynamic look and feel support, dynamic wallpaper (with animated GIF)
support, and complete MDI support.

[005] - Clean Slate Smalltalk 0.3
by water (http://freshmeat.net/users/water451/)
Sun, Aug 8th 2004 14:44

Software Development :: Compilers
Software Development :: Interpreters

About: Slate is a prototype-based object-oriented programming language
based on Self, CLOS, and Smalltalk. Slate syntax is intended to be as
familiar as possible to a Smalltalker, rather than engaging in divergent
experiments in that respect. However, the language semantics, environment,
and run-time design are all much more powerful than in traditional
Smalltalk systems.

Changes: This release is fully bootstrapped, requiring only a C toolchain
to produce a tiny VM and load provided core images, and bootstraps itself.
Slate's VM is written in Slate, using a very flexible translation system.
Many optimizations were added, and all libraries debugged and polished.
Examples: exception-handling, streaming, and external resource usage.
Instructions for building and basic have been consolidated into the
included README file.

[006] - CVSNT 2.0.51b (Stable)
by Tony Hoyle (http://freshmeat.net/users/tmhoyle/)
Sun, Aug 8th 2004 14:36

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

About: CVSNT was started as a port of cvs pserver for NT. It has since
been greatly improved and is now available under Windows and Unix/Linux.
Authentication may be done via all standard CVS protocols, plus
Windows-specific SSPI and Active Directory. Secure transport support is
implemented via sserver or encrypted SSPI. The NT version is fully
integrated with the Win32 system. MergePoint processing means no more
tagging to merge. Atomic checkouts mean you always get the files you
wanted.

Changes: Repository prefixes are replaced by repository aliases (all your
repositories should be upgraded automatically on installation to the new
format). File locking granularity is now exclusively per-file rather than
per-directory. Local mode operations now start a local lockserver as a
system tray app on Windows. There is an external CVSNT protocol wrapper
for 3rd party clients (extnt). Pre-release of rename support (to be rolled
out in the next version). Files or file types may be marked for automatic
reserved edit (-kc option).

the way that ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) and Unicode characters get translated.
Furthermore, the ability to control what filters get applied to filenames
is now available, with several translation sequences preconfigured. uncgi
has been removed from the default translation sequence.

[025] - Kernel Mode Linux 2.4.27_001 (For Linux 2.4)
by Toshiyuki Maeda (http://freshmeat.net/users/tosh/)
Sun, Aug 8th 2004 14:29

System :: Operating System Kernels
System :: Operating System Kernels :: Linux

About: Kernel Mode Linux is a technology which enables the execution of
user programs in a kernel mode. In Kernel Mode Linux, user programs can
access kernel address space directly. Unlike kernel modules, user programs
are executed as ordinary processes (except for their privilege level), so
scheduling and paging are performed as usual. Although it seems dangerous,
the safety of the kernel can be ensured through such methods as static type
checking, software fault isolation, and so forth.

Changes: This version has been merged with the 2.4.27 Linux kernel.

Games/Entertainment
Games/Entertainment :: Arcade
Games/Entertainment :: Simulation

About: LBreakout is a breakout game with nice effects, graphics, and
sounds. It's got a menu to configure a lot of things and a high score
chart. It can be played either by mouse or keyboard. New levels can also
be created, and most other aspects of the game can be customized.

Changes: SDL_net is now supported in this release. This allows users to
play network games on non-Unix systems like Windows. Furthermore, the
audio is now in stereo for a local game and partially stereo for a network
game. When using the warp feature, you will get the total score of all
remaining bricks subtracted as a penalty, which is better than the
previously fixed 5000 points, if clearing a level completely.

[031] - Long Exposure Tools 0.1
by Joat (http://freshmeat.net/users/joat_ca/)
Sun, Aug 8th 2004 15:10

Multimedia :: Graphics

About: The Long Exposure Tools try to simulate the effects of long
exposures by combining multiple short exposure images. Most importantly,
they can take several images of a static, background subject with
transient objects that differ in each image (say, a landscape with people
milling about it front of it), and build an image of the background
without the transient elements. In other words, they generate the image
that your camera would have taken had the moving objects not been present.
They require a recent installation of Netpbm (version 10 or later).

Office/Business :: Scheduling

About: Project-Based Calendaring System (PBCS) is an open source Web-based
calendaring system, designed to be a useful tool for project managers or
project planners. It allows users to have appointments of multiple people

week or a month. There is also a section to add notes or reminders.

Changes: Two additional languages are included. The layout was much
improved in the appointment overviews. Security was improved. Support was
added for Standard Time representation, Palm PDA, and G-Mate Yopy sync
facillities, and notes spanning time to indicate "FREE" time. Overviews
have been optimized for faster loading. An upgrade from 0.6.x to this
version should be seamless.

Security
Utilities

About: Revelation is a password manager for the GNOME 2 desktop. It uses
multiple account types which can be organized in a hierarchy (using
folders) and stored in a secure, encrypted file. User-friendliness and HIG
compliance are important design goals, and most of the expected
functionality is in place, including copy/cut/paste, unlimited undo/redo,
account searching, and more. It can also import data from and export data
to foreign file formats like Figaro's Password Manager.

Changes: Many small improvements and quite a few bugfixes, including
autosaving data when changed, saving of window size and position on quit,
and import/export of GNOME Password Manager and .netrc files. In addition,
the internal data handling has been almost completely rewritten, and much
of the code has been cleaned up.
