Artistic Software
Communications
Communications :: BBS
About: alph implements and analyzes historical and traditional ciphers and
codes, such as polyalphabetic, susbstitutional, and mixed employing
human-reconstructable algorithms. It provides a pipe filter interface in
order to encrypt and decrypt block text to acheive transparency. The
program is meant to be used in conjunction with external programs that
transfer data, resulting in transparent encryption or decryption of
information. The program can thus be used as a mail filter, IRC filter, IM
filter, and so on.
Changes: All cyphers and the checking routine were converted to libraries,
and ROT-13 was added to the pool. Frequency counting was introduced, and
extended statistics were implemented. The CAESAR over-pad was fixed, and
the documentation was updated.

[008] - ddnsu 0.3.3
by Peter Willis (http://freshmeat.net/users/psypete/)
Tue, Sep 21st 2004 02:27
Internet :: Name Service (DNS)
About: ddnsu is a dynamic DNS updating client that aims to be simple,
reliable, and above all very small. It works with services such as
DynDNS.org.
Changes: This release adds a rc.ddnsu script and a ddnsu.conf.sample, and
fixes a segfault in error reporting. When an error occurs, both the error
code and the error word are reported for the dyndns.org service. Config
file support was added. Disabling it does not seem to decrease the size
of the binary. The Makefile was fixed; earlier when CFLAGS was specified
from the command line it would overwrite future internal additions to the
CFLAGS variable.

Scientific/Engineering :: Bioinformatics
Scientific/Engineering :: Visualization
About: FinchTV is a utility for viewing chromatogram files that
researchers use to easily view sequencing data with dynamic interactivity.
It supports both the .ab1 and .scf chromat file formats. It can display the
entire trace in a multi-pane view with or without the base sequence (A, C,
T, or G), the associated quality values, and the sequence positions. It
allows dynamic adjustment of the vertical scale to expand the heights of
peaks (allowing more detailed analysis), dynamic adjustment of the
horizontal scale (allowing visualization of extended or condensed
sequences), and display of the chromatogram trace as a single pane or in a
wrapped view. It allows the user to view additional chromatogram data
details when available, including the format, sample ID, plate label, run
start, run stop, spacing, mobility, lane number, number of lanes, and
more.
Changes: A Solaris build is now available with this release. The new
version provides full featured editing, allowing you to edit your base
calls, insert or delete bases, change a range of base calls to N's or X's,
or convert them to upper or lowercase. You can select and copy sequence
data for use in other applications, and save your edits to a new
chromatogram file for later use. The ability to search your sequence data
using regular expressions or simple base queries has been added.

[027] - histbackup 2004-09-21
by Cameron Simpson (http://freshmeat.net/users/cameron/)

Desktop Environment :: Tools
System :: Archiving :: Backup
Utilities
About: histbackup makes incremental backups of a directory tree in a set
of directories named by dates, or date-time if the date already exists.
Its companion script histbackup-prune controls the archive growth. The
new backup is prepopulated by hardlinks of each file from the previous
backup and then updated with rsync(1). This arranges that the only new
content of each new backup is fresh copies of the changed files. In this
way each backup directory is a full copy of the source directory but the
disk space cost is that of an incremental backup. Because it uses rsync,
it is possible to efficiently backup remote directories in this manner.

Tue, Sep 21st 2004 02:35

addresses are now unique, making it more difficult to cheat using
throwaway accounts. The dc:description message property was added for
attaching an article abstract, a thumbnail image, or a table of contents
to a message. A preferences infrastructure was added, allowing the
addition of more server-side member settings in the future. The inevitable
database schema change was made.

Communications :: File Sharing
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Capture/Recording
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Players :: MP3
About: streamripper records shoutcast-compatible streams. For shoutcast
style streams it finds the "meta data" or track separation data, and uses
that as a marker for where the track should be separated. For live365
streams it hits the Web site and finds when a track has changed. Either
way, the MP3 data will be decoded and scanned for a silent point which is
where tracks will be created.
Changes: This release uses the latest libmad, adds an option to rip to a
single file and to also rip streams even if they don't have an icy-name,
adds an authentication code, includes track splitting enhancements, adds
partial multibyte character support, fixes crashes on very long
filenames, and fixes crashes on control characters in meta data.

About: SwingSet is a Java toolkit that allows the standard Java Swing
components to be made database-aware. The SwingSet feature set includes
database binding for text boxes, combo boxes, and checkboxes, masked
editing of text boxes, binding of a "hidden" numeric column for combo
boxes with text choices (e.g. 0, 1, and 2 are stored for "Yes," "No," and
"Maybe," respectively), population of combo boxes based on columns in a
database query (can also be used for combo box-based record navigation), a
graphical record navigator (allows for database traversal, insertion,
deletion, commit, and rollback), and a data grid component (with support
for spreadsheet cut & paste) for creating datasheet/spreadsheet/table
views of queries.
Changes: This release addresses some issues with the SSDataNavigator,
SSDBComboBox, and SSComboBox. These issues are primarily related to
tracking the "current" record number and keeping track of custom combo box
mappings. It is recommended that anyone using 0.8.1-beta upgrade
immediately.

About: VisIt is an interactive parallel visualization and graphical
analysis tool for viewing scientific data. Users can quickly generate
visualizations from their data, animate them through time, manipulate
them, and save the resulting images for presentations. VisIt contains a
rich set of visualization features so that you can view your data in a
variety of ways. It can be used to visualize scalar and vector fields
defined on two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) structured and
unstructured meshes. It was designed to interactively handle very large
data set sizes in the terascale range, and works well down to small data
sets in the kilobyte range.
Changes: VisIt can now read data directly from a running simulation
(instead of from disk) for codes that use the included libvisitengine.
Operations on multi-domain problems can intelligently avoid creating ghost
zones and receive a big speed boost. Queries have been organized by type
and now also work on point meshes and histogram plots. VisIt can now pick
on all variables at once if you enter "all" for "secondary variables".
Support has been added for global zone and node numbers. Other
improvements include support for more file formats, improved usability and
performance, and dozens of bugfixes.

all your disk space. It is based on the design of the "xdu" program

PostScript version of the display.
Changes: In this release, the Postscript output scales down very long
filenames so they fit. When compiled with fltk 2.0 the print dialog now
works.
