[001] - 2-Disk X window embedded Linux 1.2.13 binary (1disk)
by mungkie (http://freshmeat.net/users/mungkie/)
Tue, Oct 12th 2004 20:57

Desktop Environment
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Browsers

About: 2-Disk X window embedded Linux is a tiny net-centric Linux that
aims at portable secure remote system usage. It contains many utilities
including: X Windows, vncviewer, rdesktop, a Web browser, a file manager,
a text editor, a terminal, a window manager, a menu system, a dialog
system, X scripting facilities, and many others. It aims to work from 1 or
2 floppy disks in any remote location.

Changes: There are lots of updates in this release with the addition of a
paint application, a calculator, changes to video mode defaults, and many
minor script changes. There were also dependancy reductions, fixes for
bugs in desktop apps, and window manager enhancements in property change
handling. The kernel is now version 2.4.27.

[002] - Achievo ATK 5.0.5
by Ivo Jansch (http://freshmeat.net/users/ivoibs/)
Tue, Oct 12th 2004 10:33

Database :: API
Database :: Front-Ends
Information Management

About: Achievo ATK is an object oriented Web-application framework. It is
targeted at developers who wish to focus on business logic instead of
coding HTML. Where other application frameworks mainly provide a large set
of utility classes, ATK provides a complete framework that requires only
small amounts of code to get usable applications, while maintaining full
flexibility. In other words, even 10 lines of code get you a working
application, but everything that is generated for you can be completely
customized.

Changes: A generic CSV import feature was added so that all nodes can
import data. An atkFormatAttribute was added for entering formatted text.
Many bugs were fixed, and several API enhancements were added. A Slovak
translation was added, and the French, Italian, and Norwegian translations
were updated.

[003] - Ansel 2.1
by Federico David Sacerdoti
(http://freshmeat.net/users/FedericoSacerdoti/)
Tue, Oct 12th 2004 01:07

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Presentation

About: Ansel is a picture gallery for web sites. It is a high quality,
information-rich photo gallery, designed to handle large numbers of images
and albums. It stores all its images in a database, making it both fast and
flexible. Ansel is similar in spirit to Shutterfly and Yahoo pictures, but
does not place restrictions on image size.

Changes: Safer defaults were included for album permissions, along with
various detailed interface refinements such as intelligent picture
ordering in large albums.

[004] - AudienceConnect 1.0.beta.17
by Richard Harris (http://freshmeat.net/users/goosequill/)
Tue, Oct 12th 2004 08:44

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management

About: AudienceConnect is a revenue-generating Python CGI solution for
independent content providers. Requests for dynamic content or content
sets are routed through PayPal. Previews are generated as static HTML for
search engines to harvest. Demo site content is text for e-publishing, but
AudienceConnect can be easily extended to deliver other MIME types: sound
files, image files, etc. The related modules are completely independent
and require only access to Python 1.5.2 in your cgi-bin.

Changes: PublicStats was modified, and the WATCH_STATS const was added to
log stats views into AudienceWatch. AC_CONST was further annotated. A
type-detection bug in Editorial Queue was fixed.

[007] - Bash.Diff 1.6
by William Park (http://freshmeat.net/users/opengeometry/)
Tue, Oct 12th 2004 14:10

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: Python-style [a:b] range is implemented in the parameter
expansion for string, and in the dynamic builtin for arrays and argument
lists. In general, the code has been cleaned up to make features more
consistent and orthogonal.

[008] - Basic Local Alignment Search Tool 2.2.9
by imipak (http://freshmeat.net/users/imipak/)
Tue, Oct 12th 2004 00:50

About: BLAST is a set of similarity search programs designed to explore
all of the available sequence databases regardless of whether the query is
protein or DNA. It uses a heuristic algorithm which seeks local as opposed
to global alignments, and is therefore able to detect relationships among
sequences which share only isolated regions of similarity. It can be run
locally as a full executable, and can be used to run BLAST searches
against private, local databases, or downloaded copies of the NCBI
databases. It runs on Mac OS, Win32, LINUX, Solaris, IBM AIX, SGI, Compaq
OSF, and HP- UX systems.

Changes: This release fixed memory leaks, NULL pointer handling,
uninitialized variables, database corruption, and Linux file-handling
bugs. Long search strings now work correctly. Major speedups were
achieved. The database is restricted to 1GB on 32-bit platforms.

[009] - BasicLinux 3.32
by ichi (http://freshmeat.net/users/ichi/)
Tue, Oct 12th 2004 00:52

System :: Operating System

About: BasicLinux is a mini-Linux distribution designed specifically for
old PCs. It provides a slim 2.2.16 kernel, a user-friendly shell and a
good assortment of utilities. It includes a Web browser, a comm program,
an email client, a telnet client, wget, DHCP, and dial-up PPP. It also
includes a small footprint GUI, and is able to run remote X (via network)
with as little as 4 MB RAM. BasicLinux is particularly suitable for old
laptops: it comes with PCMCIA capability and includes the MagicPoint
presentation program.

Changes: Major improvements were made to X. AbiWord, Sylpheed, and
Xfreecell now work. More space is available in the loop file.

[010] - Blackjack basic strategy calculator 2.4
by Bernhard Kuemel (http://freshmeat.net/users/darsie/)
Tue, Oct 12th 2004 14:28

Education
Games/Entertainment

About: bsc finds the Blackjack strategy through the Monte Carlo method. It
analyzes each situation with adaptive depth, and is generally optimized for
speed. The rules are hard coded for the author's local casino; adding
others or changing them is left for others to do. It seems to find the
correct strategy, but the house edge appears a bit wrong.

[011] - Bug-A-Boo 1.05
by Thomas F (http://freshmeat.net/users/psypath/)
Tue, Oct 12th 2004 01:45

Software Development :: Bug Tracking

About: Bug-A-Boo is a bug reporting and tracking system that runs on any
Web server that supports CGI. It helps you to keep an eye on bugs reported
to you by users of your software products. It can handle any number of
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: The program was internationalized and a German translation was
included. The administration functions were debugged and improved and the
overview now displays a small statistic showing all projects and the sums
of their bug reports statuses.

[012] - BuGLe 0.0.20041011
by Bruce Merry (http://freshmeat.net/users/bmerry/)
Tue, Oct 12th 2004 14:14

Multimedia :: Graphics
Software Development :: Debuggers
Software Development :: Libraries

About: BuGLe is a tool for debugging applications that use OpenGL. It
supports the validation of calls, breakpoints on calls or sets of calls,
examination and modification of state, logging of calls, and more.

Changes: This is a fairly major update to the internals, although not much
of it is visible to the user. The biggest changes are the ability to pass
options to the program that gldb will run, and a 'screenshot' command
within gldb to take screenshots on request. See the README for upgrade
instructions. Simply installing over an older version will break things.
You will also need to add the 'trace' filter-set to your existing
configuration files if you want the tracing functionality originally
provided by the 'log' filter-set.

[013] - cdname.py 0.3
by Ryan Barrett (http://freshmeat.net/users/blaize/)
Tue, Oct 12th 2004 20:48

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: CD Audio :: CD Ripping

About: cdname.py names MP3 files and generates M3U playlists from
CDDB/freedb INF files. (These are often retrieved with cdda2wav -L). MP3s
and playlists can be named using any combination of artist name, track
title, album name, track number, etc. Many aspects are configurable via
command line options. It should complement most ripping/encoding
pipelines well.

Changes: This release adds the ability to generate M3U playlists. It also
fixes bugs when the delimiter contains invalid characters and when both
the -d and -l options are specified.

[016] - CMS Made Simple 0.7
by Ted Kulp (http://freshmeat.net/users/wishy/)
Tue, Oct 12th 2004 03:49

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content

About: CMS Made Simple is an easy-to-use content management system for
simple, stable content sites.

Changes: This release added HTML blobs (small chunks of global HTML
separate from content), an image manager to the file maintenance system,

[017] - Copland 1.0
by Jamis (http://freshmeat.net/users/minam/)
Tue, Oct 12th 2004 00:51

Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
Software Development :: Libraries :: Ruby Modules
Software Development :: Object Brokering

About: Copland is an Inversion of Control (Dependency Injection)
container for Ruby. It borrows architectural concepts from the HiveMind
Jakarta project, but implements them in significantly different ways.

Changes: Cycles in dependencies are now reported legibly when they result
in errors. Substitution symbols in configuration points work correctly
now. Services may be declared with either public or private visibility, to
restrict their visibility outside of their package. Log message formats are
now customizable, with formats similar to those offered by Log4j. A more
practical intro to Copland was added to the manual. The MagicPoint source
for the RubyConf 2004 presentation on Copland was added to the docs
subdirectory.

[018] - Cornfed SIP User Agent 0.4.6
by FWMiller (http://freshmeat.net/users/fwmiller/)
Tue, Oct 12th 2004 21:05

Communications :: Internet Phone
Communications :: Telephony
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Speech

About: The Cornfed SIP User Agent is a Session Initiation Protocol
(SIP)-based Softphone for your x86 Linux systems. It allows you to make
Internet phone calls using an Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) or
Open Sound System (OSS) sound card with speakers and microphone as your
telephone handset.

Changes: This version adds a "Do Not Disturb" function to CLI client, and
486 Busy Here responses in appropriate places. It fixes a bug where a
response with a value >= 400 did not clear a session dialog in a
non-INVITE client transaction. It also fixes a bug where the dialog state
was not reset to SIPS_UAC_CALLING and the remote tag was not cleared when
an authenticated INVITE was sent after receiving a challenge.

stylesheets.

Changes: A new template class for separating logic from presentation was
introduced. The HTML was formatted to be closer to XHTML compliance. A
factory pattern was added to make it easier to work with multiple tables.
A new plugin architecture was implemented to make adding features easy. A
new DHTML calendar plugin and a new WYSIWYG DHTML editor were added. The
look and feel was completely revamped. Some documentation for site
administrators was added. Database configuration is now stored in a
separate file.

[021] - DBMAIL 1.2.11
by K. Pauli (http://freshmeat.net/users/kpl/)
Tue, Oct 12th 2004 00:59

Communications :: Email
Communications :: Email :: Post-Office
Communications :: Email :: Post-Office :: IMAP

About: The DBMAIL package replaces the normal UNIX mailing system. All
email and user data is stored in a database. You can create an unlimited
number of email accounts, which can be checked using the POP3 or IMAP
protocol. Users can maintain their own set of email addresses. It is more
scalable, more secure, and faster than traditional mail systems. DBMAIL
has storage drivers for PostgreSQL and MySQL, and it has authentication
drivers for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and LDAP.

Changes: Forwarding to an alias no longer fails when the alias also points
to a local recipient that is over quota. IMAP now returns INTERNALDATEs
with time zone information. Some memory leaks were fixed.

[025] - Duper 20041012
by pajp (http://freshmeat.net/users/pajp/)
Tue, Oct 12th 2004 00:38

System :: Diagnostics

About: Duper is a GUI tool that scans directories for identical files,
allowing users to easily locate and delete duplicates wasting hard disk
space.

Changes: An (optional) persistent MD5 cache was implemented. An optimized
MD5 algorithm was incorporated. Regular expression file name exclusion
filters were added. Memory-mapped I/O is now optional, along with a more
aggressive garbage collecting policy. More efficient memory handling and
better data structures were added to make scanning large file sets much
faster. User preferences (such as exclusion filters and scan directories)
are stored persistently in an OS-specific way.

Tue, Oct 12th 2004 09:27

Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: HTTP Servers
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks

About: Dwarf is a modular Java framework for developing network server
applications based on Internet standards. While focused on building
service-based applications like Web servers, mail servers, and messaging
services, it can also be used for other applications. The core consists of
several packages, which provide a multithreaded kernel, security based on
the standard Java 2 Platform Security architecture and the JAAS, logging,
configuration, and a management system. Modularity and a fine-grained API
allow one to extend the server, to reuse the existing services for a new
application, or even create new services based on the existing ones.

Changes: A static client and a dynamic service for simple DNS lookups was
added. Transparent dumping of the network stream content to file was
added. Support for IP-based and hostname-based filtering of network hosts
was added. The service tree is traversable in a way similar to using the
"cd" command on a filesystem.

Changes: This version added major performance improvements and new
optimization options that will benefit all users. Oracle statement caching
and support for serialised transactions, session pooling, OCI connection
pooling, and static cursors are now fully supported. New no-threading and
no-parse options that can further improve performance under specific
circumstances were added. Several minor bugs were resolved.

[028] - Email address validation component 2004.10.12

Tue, Oct 12th 2004 20:53

Communications :: Email :: Email Clients (MUA)
Internet
Software Development :: Libraries :: PHP Classes

About: This is a PHP class that attempts to validate a given e-mail
address at three levels: matching the address against a RFC compliant
regular expression, verifing the existence of the destination SMTP server
by verifying the respective DNS MX record, and connecting to that server
to see if the given address is accepted as a valid recipient. The class
also features a debugging output option that lets you see the remote SMTP
server connection and data exchange dialog to see the real cause why an
apparently valid address may not be accepting messages.

Changes: The class now uses the Perl-compatible regular expression
functions to accelerate the validation of many email addresses in the
same script execution.

About: Ryan's In/Out Board (formerly known as Whosin) is a simple and
quick Perl-driven Web-based in/out board for use on intranets and
extranets. Users can change their status by clicking their name or calling
the script with a name parameter, allowing for desktop shortcuts which give
single click "check-in/out" links. Custom and/or default comments can be
added to their status. No database system is required, you just need a Web
server and Perl. A script to check all staff out is also provided, which is
handy if called as an overnight cron job. It uses the Date::EzDate Perl
module.

Changes: Files in the archive were inadvertently stored in DOS format;
they are now in Unix format. There is a minor bugfix for use of a variable
in a void context. Envelope.gif is now included in the archive.

Desktop Environment :: Window Managers :: XFCE
Terminals :: Terminal Emulators/X Terminals

About: Terminal is a modern terminal emulator for the Unix/Linux desktop,
primarly for the Xfce desktop environment. It was developed because Xfce
needed a lightweight and easy-to-use terminal emulator that didn't require
the user to install the GNOME libraries, but still provided a worthy
alternative to the GNOME terminal emulator, with all the bells and
whistles.

Changes: The configure option --enable-final now enables linker
optimizations for platforms that support it (a recent GNU binutils is
required). The UI description is now installed as a separate file, to
allow users rudimentary customization of their menus.

[082] - Wi.Ser Beta 0.5.0
by dvdw (http://freshmeat.net/users/dvdw/)
Tue, Oct 12th 2004 01:46

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries

About: Wi.Ser is a Java/XML server-side GUI-framework which enables an
application to run as either a monolithic Swing app, a client/server Swing
app, or as a Web app without any change. It includes a mixed deployment
mode, which supports one server to serve Swing clients and Web clients at
the same time. The framework uses XML to define an application's GUI. It
provides a common widget-based, object-oriented programming interface for
Web and Swing GUIs, which prevents the developer from struggling with HTML
and HTTP or with the internals of Swing. For Swing client/server
applications the client/server split as well as the client/server
communication is handled transparently by the framework. The project
includes a GUI builder that is based on the framework's functionality
(screenshot, deployed as a Web/HTML application).

Changes: This release included support for internationalization and an
example. The creation of WebWidgets is now up to three times faster and
the framework uses template caching. The startup of Swing applications is
now 15% faster and the memory consumption was reduced by 20%.
