The inventory methods were cleaned up and the workflow was simplified in
places. Branch and revision autocompletion in the emacs mode no longer
works.

[012] - Bash.Diff 1.5
  by William Park (http://freshmeat.net/users/opengeometry/)
  Thu, Oct 7th 2004 23:26

Database :: Front-Ends
System :: Shells

About: Bash.Diff is a patch against Bash that incorporates many useful
features from Awk, Python, Zsh, Ksh, and others. In the main core, it adds
the following: new brace expansion {a..b}, new parameter expansion
${var|...}, new command substitution $(=...), extended for, while, and
until loops, extended case statement, new try-block with integer
exception, and new here document <&lt+. As builtin commands, it adds the
following: sscanf(3), strcat(3), and strcpy(3) wrappers, a variety of
array and regex(3) operations, GDBM, SQLite, PostgreSQL, and MySQL
database interfaces, an HTML template engine (BASP), stack/queue
operations on positional parameters and arrays, Expat XML parser
interface, simple x-y character plot, DOS line support, and simple Awk
emulation.

Changes: String concatenation (+=) is now implemented by builtins, as
part of strcat(3) and strcpy(3) emulation. The builtins can be compiled
as dynamically loadables or can be statically linked. There are code
fixes in the Expat interface to work with old library, and code cleanups
in the BASP engine to preserve whitespaces surrounding scripts.

process of developing database applications for GTK.

Changes: A number of serious bugs that caused segfaults occasionally have
been resolved. <childwindows> can now be attached to windows to set up
soft links between forms. If SQL errors occur during saving they are now
displayed to the end user in a dialog instead of only being logged. This
release breaks binary compatiblity.

projects, users, and bug classifications, and is really flexible in their
setup. It features fast fulltext search, query storage, themes, and bug
watches. It uses the tdbengine as a database backend.

Changes: A big bug that allowed anonymous users to change existing bug
reports is fixed with this release. Theme support has been improved. Now
the better looking Bug-A-Boo theme and layout is used by default. One new
option in the system settings gives the administrator the ability to
globally disable theme selection for users.

[019] - Conary 0.10.5
  by Michael K. Johnson (http://freshmeat.net/users/johnsonm/)
  Thu, Oct 7th 2004 22:57

Software Development :: Version Control
System :: Archiving :: Packaging
System :: Installation/Setup

About: Conary is a distributed software management system for Linux
distributions. It replaces traditional package management solutions (such
as RPM and dpkg) with one designed to enable loose collaboration across
the Internet. It enables sets of distributed and loosely connected
repositories to define the components which are installed on a Linux
system. Rather then having a full distribution come from a single vendor,
it allows administrators and developers to branch a distribution, keeping
the pieces which fit their environment while grabbing components from
other repositories across the Internet.

Changes: You can now update from locally cooked or emerged troves to
repository troves. Network bandwidth has been reduced when creating
cross-repository changesets. Arch flags are now built into flavors, and a
new extended syntax for flags differentiates flag syntax. Changeset
display with the showcs command has been enhanced. This release can now
package files with the '%' character in their names.

Communications
Software Development :: Compilers
System :: Benchmark

About: coNCePTuaL is a domain-specific programming language for rapidly
generating programs that measure the performance and/or test the
correctness of networks and network protocol layers. A few lines of
coNCePTuaL code can produce programs that would take significantly more
effort to write in a conventional programming language.

Changes: The major change from the previous version of coNCePTuaL is the
addition of a coNCePTuaL interpreter backend which can efficiently
simulate large networks on a single computer and can automatically detect
deadlocks and other communication-related errors in coNCePTuaL programs.

About: DNSdoctor is a tool based on zonecheck that is intended to help
with solving misconfigurations and inconsistencies in DNS zone files. It
features a powerful configuration file, does not depend on policies, fine
grained test selection (by test, categories, or zones), full IPv6 support
(connectivity and AAAA records), and several input/output interfaces (CLI,
GUI, CGI, and a dedicated mode for use inside shell scripts). It uses
threads to cut down checking time and can be extended with new tests,
interfaces, and reports, and features exception and cache mechanisms to
simplify test writing.

Changes: The unmaintained batch mode was removed and the HTML was improved
and upgraded to XHTML. Fieldsets/labels and the stylesheet were split
between site-specific and dnsdoctor-specific styles. The GTK input
interface was fixed and the tainted mode was restored for CGI. Timeouts
for DNS queries are now the same for UDP and TCP. A new test for detecting
excessive serial number shifts was included.

split Matroska media files. Supported video stream types include streams
from AVIs, Ogg/OGM, and RealVideo files. Supported audio formats include
Vorbis, RealAudio, MP3, MP2, FLAC, AC3, and AAC. Several subtitle formats
are supported, including SRT, SSA, ASS, VobSub, and many others. The
resulting files can be played back with various media players on
Linux/Unix or the Matroska Direct Show filters under Windows.

Changes: The MP3 handling was broken for some rare cases as was the MP3
detection. The complete chapter and tag handling was rewritten. Support
for the very old tagging system was dropped. Very large timecodes in
Matroska files are now handled correctly. mkvextract now works faster for
 attachments, chapters, and tags. The support for raw FLAC files has been
switched to another API and is considerably faster. Several problems
regarding Matroska files created with older muxers have been fixed as
well as some issues with MMG, compilation on Solaris, a couple of Endian
bugs, and a small memleak.

Software Development :: Libraries

About: sl is a yet another generic linked list library. Instead of
container nodes with pointers to your data, it uses a pointer to the next
item directly in the data structure you want to create lists (or stacks)
of. In addition to significant memory savings, this allows for very fast
push and pop operations since there is no need to allocate or free memory
for the container nodes. It also means that a push can't fail because
memory couldn't be allocated for the container node.

Changes: A shared library is now produced using GNU autotools. Some minor
documentation improvements were made.

German, and Dutch.

Changes: A new "report of game" PDF report was added, which is intended
for official tournament reports. PDF generation was improved to avoid
OutOfMemory exceptions and the usability of the related dialog was
improved. A "delete schedule" function was added to the schedule view.
Some bugs were fixed, including problems with drag-on-drop on the
scheduler view, the last chosen directory, filenames with spaces in PDF
generation, and empty pages in PDFs.

[096] - Voodoo chat 1.0 RC1
  by Vlad Vostrykh (http://freshmeat.net/users/vladv/)
  Thu, Oct 7th 2004 19:34

Communications :: Chat

About: Voodoo chat is a fast, convenient, easily customized Web chat
system with the ability to continuously update the user messages (push).
It has 4 different ways of displaying messages: a Perl-daemon (and C++ for
higher perfomance) for continuous update, PHP-stream, Java-script emulation
of stream, and classic refresh style. It features theme support,
configurable rooms, private messages, ignoring, user status, a mini-mail
system, inline images and image posting, graphical statistics, user-info,
language packs, pre-moderation, club mode (only registered users can
login) and more. Several data storage engines are available, including
ones based on files, SysV shared memory, and MySQL. It has been tested on
a real server with up to 500 simultaneous users (with C++ chat-daemon).

Changes: This release adds club-mode, registration protection (image code,
activation through email), a mod_voc Apache module for socket forwarding
(this allows you to use chat-daemon on the same IP/port as Apache), HTML
nicks (i.e. colored, or even pictures), image posting (from hard disk and
Web servers), pre-moderated rooms, and a lot of smaller improvements and
bugfixes.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Indexing/Search
Text Processing :: Indexing

About: WebGlimpse is a scalable, feature-rich search engine for indexing
your Web site or any collection of remote sites you choose. Commercial
features include customizable output formats, custom ranking/ordering of
hits, fuzzy matching, boolean queries, a Web administration interface for
multiple archives, logging of queries, caching of results, and more.
Localized search interfaces are provided in multiple languages including
Spanish, German, French, Italian, Norwegian, Finnish, Russian, Hebrew, and
others. It supports 3rd party filters for indexing PDF, Word, and Excel

Changes: Structured (field-based) queries now return nicer-looking
results. Users of the simple query form can now search for special
characters such as "*", "~", and "!" without escaping them. On the
advanced search form, those characters must still be escaped, or they will
be interpreted as regexp/boolean expressions.

  by Pierre Phaneuf (http://freshmeat.net/users/pp/)
  Thu, Oct 7th 2004 13:22

Software Development :: Object Brokering

About: XPLC is a component system that tries to enable the use of
components in a pervasive way. It aims to be easy to use, have low speed
and size overhead, and be language and platform neutral. Basically, the
idea is to leave no excuse for an application not to be component-enabled
(being a component and/or using components).

Changes: It is now possible to install multiple versions of XPLC in
parallel. A compilation problem on Darwin/Mac OS X has been fixed. A
problem with uninstalling the Debian package has been fixed.
