by David Hilvert (http://freshmeat.net/users/dhilvert/)
Fri, Aug 27th 2004 14:12

Multimedia :: Graphics

About: ALE is a program that can render high-fidelity images of real
scenes by aligning and combining many similar images from a camera or
scanner. The correct similarity between images is roughly that achieved by
a somewhat unsteady hand holding a camera.

Changes: This release fixes alignment bugs, adds a global search option,
and adds support for the OmniView OV7620 sensor.

Office/Business

About: AntiRight is a lightweight and scripted desktop environment that
uses the Motif toolkit. Development is carried out with a minimalistic
philosophy in mind. The software consists of a text editor, a desktop
panel, a sticky note utility, system management panels, a file manager, a
calculator interface, a color/background selector, a command launcher, a
simple help system, an email and Web browser launcher, a theme selector, a
preferences utility, a series of system monitors including a graphical load
meter, and a CD player. The desktop panel consists of a launcher panel
button, a screen lock button, a virtual desktop switcher, an alarm
utility, a command launcher, a clock, a user counter, a load meter, and a
mail checker.

Changes: XPM icon support was added and such icons are now used by
default. A unified search and replace dialog was added and a toolbar was
added to the work area. Better session initialization was incorporated.
Uncomment, comment, and insertion of convenience text was added. If the
CVS version of yetanotherclib is installed, an interface definition
language is now available, parsing files specified after the -f option.
libcdaudio is now used by arcd if available.

Fri, Aug 27th 2004 08:00

System :: Networking :: Firewalls

About: Astaro Security Linux is an all-in-one network security gateway
that includes a firewall, intrusion protection, virus protection, spam
protection, URL filtering, and a VPN gateway. Features include stateful
packet inspection, deep packet filtering, application-level intrusion
detection, content filtering, virus detection for email traffic (SMTP and

VPN tunneling, spam blocking, logging and reporting. The software is built
on an embedded, especially hardened Linux distribution. The WebAdmin tool
and Up2Date service make it easy to install, manage, and update all six
security applications.

Changes: This Up2date release improves the IP counting and handling as
well as the notification scheme for license features.

[005] - BLD 0.2.3
by Olivier Beyssac (http://freshmeat.net/users/obeyssac/)
Fri, Aug 27th 2004 08:01

Communications :: Email
Communications :: Email :: Filters

About: BLD stands for "black list daemon" and is intended to build
blacklists using simple rules based on a maximum number of submissions of
the same IP address during a minimum time interval. It was primarily
designed to fight against dictionary-based spam (by making the MTA report
to BLD any host that tries to send email to an unknown user), but can be
used by any program that needs a blacklist based on connection rate
limits.

Changes: This release fixes a bug related to the return code at startup,
improves the protocol human-readability, and adds documentation updates
and cleanups.

[008] - CHOWNAT 0.07
by Samy Kamkar (http://freshmeat.net/users/cp5/)
Fri, Aug 27th 2004 14:07

Communications
Security
System :: Networking

About: CHOWNAT allows two machines behind two different NAT firewalls to
communicate even when there is no port forwarding or DMZ on either of
their routers. It does not require a middle man, proxy, spoofing, or DNS
tricks, and runs as an unprivileged user on both ends. It opens up a
direct tunnel between the two machines, even when both are behind NAT, so
that one can access services such as SSH or a Web server on the other.

Changes: Packet sequencing is now in place so that dropped packets get
retransmitted rather than losing them as in a normal UDP transmission. A
Windows executable version is also available. Other changes have been made
to increase the speed of the tunnel. Setting up the application is simple
and requires no installation or additional modules.

[015] - DKMS 2.0.0
by lerhaupt (http://freshmeat.net/users/lerhaupt/)
Fri, Aug 27th 2004 13:52

System :: Systems Administration

About: DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module Support) is a framework where device
driver source can reside outside the kernel source tree so that it is very
easy to rebuild modules as you upgrade kernels. This allows Linux vendors
to provide driver drops without having to wait for new kernel releases (as
a stopgap before the code can make it back into the kernel), while also
taking out the guesswork for customers attempting to recompile modules for
new kernels. For veteran Linux users it also provides some advantages since
a separate framework for driver drops will remove kernel releases as a
blocking mechanism for distributing code.

Changes: This release has the following improvements over version 1.95. It
enables cross architecture building on 2.6 kernels (you must specify
--kernelsourcedir to get this to work). It has the ability to create Red
Hat version 1 driver disks that include kernel modules for the BOOT/i386
kernel. A bug in the default MAKE commands that DKMS uses has been fixed
so that it respects --kernelsourcedir.

Internet
Security
Security :: Cryptography

About: Dropbear is an SSH 2 server (and experimental client) that is
designed to be small enough to be used in low-memory embedded
environments, while still being functional and secure enough for general
use.

Changes: This release includes many bugfixes from -test2. In particular,
it will work correctly with busybox shells, channel handling should be
more robust, scp with specified usernames should work, and DSS server keys
should work. The client now handles standard error correctly, passes
through return values, and should be more responsive over high-latency
(dialup) connections.

About: ErfurtWiki is a fast, user-friendly, and highly configurable
hypertext management system. It can store its pages and binary content
with MySQL, PEARDB/dbx/ADOdb, dba/dbm, PHP-RPC, or flat file databases. It
stands out from similar Wiki implementations in that it allows very easy

handling. It is useful for larger sites as well as lightweight backend for
private homepages, due to its simple image uploading feature.

Changes: This major release brings many changes and additions. It includes
a much cooler database interface, enables PATH_INFO, is E_NOTICE cleaner,
brings structural changes in distribution, better CSS page fragmentation
and excessive typecasting for PHP5 compatibility. It adds a general
WikiApi interface with PingBack, XmlRpc, OpenSearch, WikiSync with
PHP-RPC, the WikiCommander (Web-based NC-clone), banned and blocked links,
QuickDiff action, RSS/Atom feeds, BlogMpi, cron scripts, RefererLog, XFN, a
TeX plugin, new page flags _minor, _hidden and _archive, and a huge number
of fixes.

snapshot files (both loading and saving) and TAP files (allowing normal
loading or fast-speed loading).

Changes: The code now compiles without modifications under BIG ENDIAN
architectures (like PowerPC).

Fri, Aug 27th 2004 00:00

Games/Entertainment :: Simulation

About: FreeSimRC is a framework for radar clients for virtual air traffic
control networks (e.g., VATSIM and IVAO). Currently work is occuring on a
radar client (an ASRC clone), a flight strip display, and a 3D tower view.

Changes: The radar client now displays most of the map, although some
features are still missing, like airways, SIDs, STARs and IAPs. An
example sector file ("test.sct") is included and used by the demo. Work
is progressing on the DSR radar- mode. Most symbols should be correct now.

Security
System :: Networking

About: FreeRADIUS is a high-performance, highly configurable, and
feature-rich RADIUS server. Supported features include EAP (wireless
authentication, PEAP, TTLS), MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, LDAP, X9.9 token
cards, and many more. It comes with more than 50 vendor dictionaries, and
interoperates with many others. It is the only open source RADIUS server
that has implemented EAP, and it is currently deployed in multiple
million-user systems.

Changes: New 3GPP, 3GPP2, Propel, Karlnet, Sonicwall, Navini, Bristol
University, Valemont, and Mikrotik dictionaries were added along with
many more man pages for the modules. Tests indicate that the server is up
to 30% faster with dictionaries using the new red-black tree
implementation. The queue of input requests was de-coupled from the pool
of threads, allowing "spikes" of requests to be queued, even though all
threads are busy, significantly increasing the servers ability to process
large numbers of requests on a multi-CPU machine. Many minor bugfixes and
feature enhancements were made.

SSL) for one or more email accounts, and reliably delivers into
qmail-style Maildirs, mboxrd files, or through external MDAs (command
deliveries) specified on a per-account basis. getmail also has excellent
support for domain (multidrop) mailboxes, including delivering messages to
different users or destinations based on the envelope recipient address.

Changes: Getmail raised an exception after processing all accounts, while
printing a summary, if "verbose" was set to 2. This has been fixed.

[031] - Gnome-Dial 0.0.1
by Stefano D'Angelo (http://freshmeat.net/users/daste/)
Fri, Aug 27th 2004 18:24

About: Gnome-Dial is a user-friendly PPP dialer for GNOME 2. The idea is
to give GNOME 2 users a usable, fully-featured, GNOME-integrated, clean,
and fast interface to the PPP package in order to make dialup connections
easily. Other tools often need other programs like WvDial to make
connections, or are not so clean, fast, or well-integrated with the GNOME
interface. At the moment, it is a frontend for PPP, but it will at some
point begin to include new features and its own configuration files to
represent modems, connections etc. However, it will not try to replace the
PPP package. The package will soon include a configuration generator..

About: GNU Aspell is a spell checker designed to eventually replace
Ispell. It can either be used as a library or as an independent spell
checker. Its main feature is that it does a superior job of suggesting
possible replacements for a misspelled word than just about any other
spell checker out there for the English language. Unlike Ispell, Aspell
can also easily check documents in UTF-8 without having to use a special
dictionary. Aspell will also do its best to respect the current locale
setting. Other advantages over Ispell include support for using multiple
dictionaries at once and intelligently handling personal dictionaries when
more than one Aspell process is open at once.

Changes: The two major changes in this release are support for affix
compression and better Unicode support. Other significant changes include
an enhanced SGML filter, support for loadable filters, and customizable
filter modes.

Fri, Aug 27th 2004 00:02

Communications :: Email
System :: Systems Administration

About: qmqtool is a utility designed for viewing and safely modifying the

hours (for expiring, unexpiring, and deleting), adds a -w option to
conjoin -v for viewing the whole message (instead of the first 100
lines), fixes queue restore logic to work all of the time, updates the
queue integrity checking logic, updates the logic surrounding queue
basics, and changes the prime number checking method from regexp to
math.

[074] - Supybot 0.79.9
by jemfinch (http://freshmeat.net/users/jemfinch/)
Fri, Aug 27th 2004 09:19

Communications :: Chat :: Internet Relay Chat

About: Supybot is a clearly-written Python IRC framework and bot, intended
to be both easily extensible and very flexible. Several modules are
included by default. Numerous plugins are already written, including
Google, Factoids, RSS, Quotes, and Relay. Plugins and their commands
achieve greater utility via command nesting, something that no other IRC
bot does. The user database is based on "capabilities" rather than obscure
flags or arbitrary numeric "userlevels", giving the bot flexibility and
fine-grained control (think ACLs vs. standard *nix permissions).
Developing your own additions to the bot is simple with the base classes
provided; writing a new command for the bot is as simple as writing a
function. Unlike many other IRC frameworks, this simplicity is achieved at
no cost to generality, which lets new programmers and old programmers alike
feel at home in the framework.

Changes: This release adds a large number of enhancements and bugfixes.
New plugins include Infobot, Nickometer, Later, Anonymous, Currency,
Format, KeepAlive, NickCapture, XMLLogger, ChannelRelay, and Tail. The
Infobot plugin now provides close emulation of the original Infobot.
Significant enhancements have been made to the Services, Topic, and Status
plugins. Multi-server use no longer requires the Relay plugin. Many
configuration options have been added and many bugs fixed. Significant
enhancements have been made to the core code to make it even more
configurable and flexible.
