About: Ghost Diagrams is a small program that takes sets of tiles and
tries to find patterns into which they may be formed. The patterns it
finds when given randomly chosen tiles are often surprising, and
frequently resemble floral decorations.

Changes: This version adds the ability to save diagrams as a PNG file. It
adds parameters for color, line thickness, and size of the diagram. Tiles
are now rendered using Bezier curves.

XML standard, Namespaces in XML, XML Base, Relax NG, RFC 2396, XPath,
XPointer, HTML4, XInclude, SGML Catalogs, and XML Catalogs. In most cases,
libxml tries to implement the specifications in a relatively strict way. To
some extent, it provides support for the following specifications, but
doesn't claim to implement them: DOM, FTP client, HTTP client, and SAX2.
Support for W3C XML Schemas is in progress. It includes xmllint, a command
line XML validator.

System :: Boot
System :: Operating System Kernels

About: mbootpack is a tool that takes a Multiboot kernel and modules (e.g.
a Xen VMM or a xen-linux kernel and initrd), and packages them up as a

GRUB).

Changes: This version is alpha code. It has been tested with the Xen VMM
and xenlinux kernel, loaded from GRUB and LILO. Other Multiboot kernels
and other bootloaders should work, but have not been tried.

[067] - sysstat 5.1.2
by Sébastien Godard (http://freshmeat.net/users/godard/)
Wed, Nov 10th 2004 13:10

System :: Monitoring
System :: Systems Administration

About: The sysstat package contains the sar, mpstat, and iostat commands
for Linux. The sar command collects and reports system activity
information. This information can also be saved in a system activity file
for future inspection. The iostat command reports CPU statistics and I/O
statistics for tty devices and disks. The statistics reported by sar
concern I/O transfer rates, paging activity, process-related activites,
interrupts, network activity, memory and swap space utilization, CPU
utilization, kernel activities, and TTY statistics, among others. Both UP
and SMP machines are fully supported.

Changes: sar -d also uses /proc/partitions to get its data. The option -m
tells iostat to display statistics in megabytes per second instead of
blocks per second. History (number of days to keep log files) is
configurable in /etc/sysconfig/sysstat. Vixie cron is used to launch sadc
when possible.

About: Thirdphase automatically downloads, installs, backs up, and runs
any software downloadable from a static URL, with a couple of other
user-provided variables. It is useful for keeping nightly builds of
software up-to-date.

Changes: This version will now mark downloads as problematic if something
goes wrong during decompressing or installing. There is also a -p option
to ignore problematic downloads. A couple of fixes were added for the
function that checks to see whether anything went wrong.

[069] - ThreadGuru 0.0.1
by paulcannon (http://freshmeat.net/users/paulcannon/)
Wed, Nov 10th 2004 14:13

Communications :: Email :: Filters

About: ThreadGuru adds missing threading information to incoming email
that doesn't have it. It accomplishes this by looking through all the
email already in a given mailbox and comparing quoted text, citations,
subjects, etc. It works as a stdin-to-stdout filter, and is probably best
run via procmail or a similar tool.

Changes: ThreadGuru currently works, but the rules, scores, and heuristics
aren't perfectly tuned yet. Depending on the type of email you get,
accuracy with this version should range from 50%-90%. Even when it is
wrong, you usually aren't any more inconvenienced than when email has no
threading info at all, especially if your mail client lets you fix and
detach threads (like Mutt). Coming versions should address known issues
and dramatically increase accuracy.
