[005] - Attachment Ripper and Displacement System 1.42 (Development)
  by Jens Låås (http://freshmeat.net/users/khaldun/)
  Thu, Nov 11th 2004 02:39

Communications :: Email :: Filters

About: Attachment Ripper and Displacement System (aradis) is a filter that
removes attachments from email. The removed attachment is sent to a
specified resource for storage. The attachment is replaced with a notice
of where the removed attachment may be found. The filter can also rename
filenames for security. It uses GMime for MIME handling.

Changes: This version was updated against GMime 2.1.9. The usefork option
was removed as it could do more harm than good. The entire config file is
now read regardless of size. UTF8 filename handling was improved. All
attachments should now be inspected regardless of their depth in a
message. Preliminary support for Debian packages was added.

[007] - Bash.Diff 1.11
  by William Park (http://freshmeat.net/users/opengeometry/)
  Thu, Nov 11th 2004 00:12

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), <string.h>, and <ctype.h> 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: This release added an array version of 'cat' and string
multipliers in ${var|*n}. 'array -[pq]' now only extracts string inside
delimiters and does not include delimiters in output.

[008] - bogofilter 0.93.1 (Current)
  by Matthias Andree (http://freshmeat.net/users/mandree/)
  Thu, Nov 11th 2004 03:47

Communications :: Email :: Filters
Text Processing :: Filters

About: Bogofilter is a Bayesian spam filter. In its normal mode of
operation, it takes an email message or other text on standard input, does
a statistical check against lists of "good" and "bad" words, and returns a
status code indicating whether or not the message is spam. Bogofilter is
designed with fast algorithms (including Berkeley DB system), coded
directly in C, and tuned for speed, so it can be used for production by
sites that process a lot of mail.

Changes: The Berkeley DB mode now uses transactions for robustness with
automatic crash detection and recovery, has extended documentation
(README.db), and supports Berkeley DB 4.3. QDBM mode now uses B+trees for
speed. A converter is included. The default mode is now ternary
(Ham/Spam/Unsure) rather than the previous binary mode (Yes/No). The
release documentation was consolidated into the NEWS and RELEASE.NOTES
documents. Bogotune's -D mode was repaired and a MIME parser bug was
fixed.

[009] - C++ Elliptic Curve Cryptography library 0.8.0 (Development)
  by Carlo Wood (http://freshmeat.net/users/aleric/)
  Thu, Nov 11th 2004 00:12

Security :: Cryptography
Software Development :: Libraries

About: Libecc is a C++ elliptic curve cryptography library that supports
fixed-size keys for maximum speed. The goal of this project is to become
the first free Open Source library providing the means to generate safe
elliptic curves, and to provide an important source of information for
anyone with general interest in ECC.

Changes: The brute force point counting data (of elliptic curves up to
GF(2^10)) is presented and partly analysed. A start has been made in
determining the relationship between the curve parameter 'a' and the
structure of the elliptic curves. An in-depth theory page about the
structure of Abelian groups was added. This release contains new code that
allows one to determine the structure of the Abelian group from the count
of points and their order as well as code that determines the normal of
the hyperplane in the 'a-space' that represents curves with constant
cardinality.

[014] - Conary 0.11.1
  by Michael K. Johnson (http://freshmeat.net/users/johnsonm/)
  Thu, Nov 11th 2004 19:06

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: This version now enforces dependencies when erasing packages.
This requires a database conversion.

About: drraw is a simple Web-based presentation front-end for RRDtool
that allows you to interactively build graphs of your own design. A graph
definition can be turned into a template which may be applied to many
Round Robin Database files. Unlike most other RRDtool front-ends, drraw
does not take care of collecting data and updating Round Robin database
files. Instead, it specializes in providing an easy means of displaying
collected data, making it a great complement to other RRDtool front-
ends.

Changes: This releases adds cache portability (in particular to Win 32)
and purging of stale cache entries.

  by lemmens (http://freshmeat.net/users/lemmens/)
  Thu, Nov 11th 2004 07:41

Multimedia :: Graphics :: Editors :: Vector-Based

About: dxf2fig parses Autocad DXF input, then calls external routines to
do either plotting or a fig conversion for xfig. The conversion is fairly

fit points to a polyline (if any). A new "-v" verbose option was also
added. Files with a .DXF extension (instead of .dxf) are now also
accepted, and an output filename is generated if not supplied on the
command line.

About: The zen Platform is a Java development environment for J2SE/J2EE.
It eases and accelerates the Java application development by visual
methods (RAD). Complete applications can be modelled in an intuitive
fashion without the need for technical expertise. The complexity of Java
and J2EE programming is tremendously hidden - reducing the learning
curve for Java novices. Java experts are by no means restricted - they
may apply their knowledge without limitations. Application flexibility is
a core feature of the platform, which is delivered as an Eclipse plugin.

Changes: Several fixes were made and model interaction was further
enhanced.

[093] - zsync 0.1.0

Internet :: WWW/HTTP

About: zsync is a client-side implementation of the rsync algorithm. It
allows updating of files from a remote Web server without requiring a
full download or a special remote server application. It uses a metafile,
which must be created on the server, to determine which parts of a file
the user already has; it then downloads the remaining parts via HTTP. No
special server or Web server module is needed. It can also look inside
gzip files, allowing efficient update transfers even when files are
compressed.

Changes: This version no longer depends on OpenSSL. Compressed file
transfers are much more efficient in this version.
