[003] - AmavisNewSQL SquirrelMail Plugin 0.7.3
by JimmyDigital (http://freshmeat.net/users/jimmydigital/)
Thu, Sep 23rd 2004 12:10

Communications :: Email :: Email Clients (MUA)
Communications :: Email :: Filters
Text Processing :: Filters

About: The AmavisNewSQL SquirrelMail plugin gives you per-user control of
a subset of SpamAssassin settings which are stored in a database. It also
allows you to use a quarantine database for questionable mail. This plugin
was designed with enterprise use in mind, and differs from other plugins in
that it works with amavis-new rather than SpamAssassin directly. Most of
the code lives in an external class that you can reuse in your own admin
tools. It even has support for SOAP calls to perform common tasks.

Changes: Many small bugfixes.

Communications :: Internet Phone
Communications :: Telephony
System :: Clustering/Distributed Networks

About: Asterisk is a hybrid TDM and packet voice PBX (Private Branch
eXchange) and IVR platform with ACD functionality. It acts as middleware
between the Internet (IAX, SIP, MGCP, Skinny, H.323), telephony channels
(like Zaptel, T1, PRI, E1, FXO, FXS, VoIP, VoFR, ISDN, modems, Internet
Phone Jack, etc.), and applications (like voice-mail, conferencing,
directories, MP3 players, intercoms, etc.). It has many advanced features
such as a codec translation API. The base distribution includes several
channel backends, as well as applications. However, the beauty of Asterisk
is its ability to be extended using its APIs, dynamic module loader, and
AGI scripting interface. End users can even write their own applications
that run on the system in C or any scripting language of their choice.

[007] - atop 1.13
by Gerlof Langeveld (http://freshmeat.net/users/gela/)
Thu, Sep 23rd 2004 04:30

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

About: Atop is an ASCII full-screen performance monitor, similar to the
top command. At regular intervals, it shows system-level activity related
to the CPU, memory, swap, disks and network layers, and it shows for every
active process the CPU utilization in system and user mode, the virtual and
resident memory growth, priority, username, state, and exit code. The
process level activity is also shown for processes which finished during
the last interval, to get a complete overview about the consumers of
things such as CPU time. Atop only shows the active system-resources and
processes, and only shows the deviations since the previous interval.

Changes: This release features recognition of thread-groups: every thread
is shown as a separate process with a reference to its thread-group and an
indication whether it is a thread-group leader or member. CPU percentages
on the system and process levels have been made consistent. A new
subcommand to show scheduling information, such as policy, realtime
priority, and sleep average was added. There were various bugfixes.

[008] - autopano-sift 1.7
by Sebastian Nowozin (http://freshmeat.net/users/nowozin/)
Thu, Sep 23rd 2004 11:57

Multimedia :: Graphics
Scientific/Engineering :: Image Recognition

About: Autopano-SIFT is a helper program for panorama image generation. It
automatically generates control point information for a number of image
files for use with the hugin panorama generation software. To do this, it
utilizes the SIFT (Scale-Invariant Feature Transform) algorithm, a
sophisticated image feature matching algorithm.

Changes: The pixel coordinates use subpixel precision now. The Gtk#
dependency can be optionally dropped for all core utilities, allowing
painless use on Mac OS and Windows. The wrapper scripts are more easily
installable. The Windows installer has been updated. The GTK GUI includes
all options reachable from the CLI.

Thu, Sep 23rd 2004 12:19

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Analysis
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Capture/Recording

About: Baudline is a real-time signal analysis tool and an offline
time-frequency browser. It has a built-in tone generation capability and
it can play back audio files with a multitude of effects and filters.
Designed for environmental analysis missions that range from modulation
parameter measurements to searching for transient signals that go bump in
the night, baudline combines fast digital signal processing, versatile
high-speed displays, and continuous capture tools for hunting down and
studying elusive signal characteristics.

Changes: A set of power measurements were added that work with a user
defined frequency range. A UTC time window that acts as an accurate clock
reference display is new. A cursor tool called the periodicity helper bars
was added, which is useful for determining periodic behavior. Some new
channel mapping operations and Hz scaling reduction algorithms were added.
Unique color and title options now make distinguishing multiple baudline
sessions easier. Several minor bugs were fixed.

Scientific/Engineering
Scientific/Engineering :: Bioinformatics
Scientific/Engineering :: Chemistry

About: GNU polyxmass features an integrated mass spectrometry framework
where users are able to define brand new polymer chemistries (within the
polyxdef module), and use these definitions in order to make simple mass
calculations (within the polyxcalc module) or perform complex simulations
of polymer chemistry with related mass data computations (within the
polyxedit module). The framework allows full customization of every aspect
of the polymer chemistry being defined, and of the way the polymer
sequences are graphically displayed. This program was formerly called
"polyXmass".

Changes: The GNU polyxmass project has been almost totally refactored.
>From now on, it will be displayed on freshmeat using only one branch. The
packages that make up the GNU polyxmass software framework are: polyxmass,
the user interface; libpolyxmass, the chemical intelligence library that is
used by the polyxmass module; polyxmass-common, essential configuration and
data files; polyxmass-data, optional polymer chemistry defintions; and
polyxmass-doc, the full set of files required to produce the User Manual.

About: Graphics3D is a free, Open Source C++ library for game developers,
researchers, and students. It is a base of robust and high performance
code common to most 3D projects. It is not a standalone graphics or game
engine--it is the set of pieces you need to jumpstart your own engine or
graphics project. The library has two parts: G3D for pure math, and GLG3D
for interacting with hardware acceleration via OpenGL. You can use G3D
without GLG3D if you want to use another 3D API (like DirectX) or don't
like the OpenGL abstraction.

Changes: A new manual and tutorial, OpenGL 2.0 support, a Visual Studio
NET build, frustum culling, and several minor bugfixes were added.

[037] - GXPARSE 1.5
by Ian E. Gorman (http://freshmeat.net/users/iegorman/)
Thu, Sep 23rd 2004 19:05

Text Processing :: Markup :: XML

About: GXPARSE is not a new parser, but is an additional processing layer
that makes it much easier to use event-based parsers like the SAX parser.
It supports both direct sequential output and a random access mode (the
Resequencer interface). The random access mode delays output until the end
of the input, but makes it much easier to handle ID/IDREF attributes.
GXPARSE maintains most advantages of the event-based parser. Application
development and maintenance is considerably easier, but processing is a
little slower.

Changes: This release features full XML namespace support, with an
ElementMapper implementation that can handle namespaces. There are more
informative exceptions.

[085] - Zero Memory Widget 0.0.11
by Thierry Excoffier (http://freshmeat.net/users/exco/)
Thu, Sep 23rd 2004 11:59

Software Development :: User Interfaces
Software Development :: Widget Sets

About: The Zero Memory Widget library is as powerful as classic widget
libraries, but it does not use a single bit of memory per widget. So with
this library, there is no widget pointer/reference, instance
creation/destruction, event handler function, functions to read/write data
between widget and application, and so on. GUI programming with this
library is done in the C language, and it is as easy as composing an HTML
page.

Changes: This release uses Pango to display texts. Texts are now coded
with UTF-8, and the copy/paste works with all applications (UTF-8 aware or
not). The text can be displayed/edited on multiple lines. There is an
incompatible change in the font API: there are functions to set the font
family, size, style, and weight. A new application example allows you to
edit an XML-defined GUI and at the same time lets the user play with the
GUI, all of this without using memory.
