[015] - ELF statifier 1.6.5
by Valery Reznic (http://freshmeat.net/users/valery_reznic/)
Thu, Apr 7th 2005 07:15

Software Development
System

About: Executable files may be linked statically or dynamically.
Dynamically linked executables use less disk space and memory, but
require appropriative dynamic libraries present in order to run. ELF
statifier make one executable file with no run-time dependencies from a
dynamically linked executable and all its libraries. This file can be
copied and run on another machine with no need for all of the libraries.

Changes: This release corrects a segfault which occurred if an executable
was statified on a system where the loader has no symbol table and has a
fixed load address (like Debian). A bug (race condition) which sometimes
prevented statifier from working was fixed. The dependency on readelf was
eliminated.

Thu, Apr 7th 2005 13:08

Internet
Security
System :: Networking :: Firewalls

About: Gibraltar is a Debian GNU/Linux-based router/firewall distribution,
fully workable from a bootable, live CD-ROM. Log files can be stored on a
hard disk, and configuration data is stored on a USB mass storage media or
a floppy disk and kept on a RAM disk during run-time. Due to its Debian
base, a vast manifold of firewalling, routing, and proxy packages is
available. It comes with an intuitive, easy to use Web administration
interface and support, and is free to use for home users.

Changes: This release significantly improves the speed of the Web
interface, and solves a previous issue with license checks in
high-bandwidth cases. An important change is the introduction of the TCP
window tracking patch to the firewall code, which checks TCP connections
much more thoroughly than before. Another change is that FreeS/WAN has
been replaced with its successor Openswan, which uses compatible config
files, so this replacement should not need any changes in current
configurations.

instead of relying on sys.version_info), and gnosis.xml.xmlmap
(Unicode-to-XML legality testing). There is one critical change in
gnosis.xml.pickle; all xml.pickle users are encouraged to upgrade.
gnosis.xml.objectify is significantly faster and contains many new
functions. There are also some bugfixes in gnosis.xml.objectify,
gnosis.xml.indexer, and gnosis.utils.convert.dmText2Html.

Thu, Apr 7th 2005 12:18

Scientific/Engineering
Scientific/Engineering :: Visualization

About: Gwyddion is a modular SPM (Scanning Probe Microsope) data
visualization and analysis tool. It can be used for all most frequently
used data processing operations including: leveling, false color plotting,
shading, filtering, denoising, data editing, integral transforms, grain
analysis, profile extraction, fractal analysis, and many more. The program
is primarily focused on SPM data analysis (e.g. data obtained from AFM,
STM, NSOM, and similar microscopes). However, it can also be used for
analyzing SEM (scaning electron microscopy) data or any other 2D data.

Changes: Import modules for five new file formats were added: Applied
Physics and Engineering data files, Image Metrology BCR and BCRF files,
RHK SPM32 files, Nanotec WSxM files, and Nanosurf EZD files. The SpmLab
module can read R6 files, and the Assing AFM module can save files. Two
basic nanoindentations modules were added: Nanoindent adjust and analyse.
Several bugs were fixed.

Thu, Apr 7th 2005 19:26

Information Management

About: Housekeeper is an application for managing household issues. It is
able to keep a list of food items, inlcuding their expiry dates, so you
always have an overview of what is going to be needed soon.

Changes: Although most work has been done under the hood, the most
visible change is the first step on the way to user- defined categories.
Instead of two tables, there is now only one table which shows only items
of a given category. This category can be selected from an all-new
overview of all categories.

[031] - Iron Bars SHell 0.3a
by Attila Nagyidai (http://freshmeat.net/users/nagyat/)
Thu, Apr 7th 2005 19:23

Security
System :: Shells

About: Iron Bars SHell is a restricted Unix shell. The user can not step
out of, nor access, files outside the home directory. Two ASCII
configuration files are used for more control. The system administrator
can define which commands may be executed by the user. No other
executables are allowed. The admin also has the opportunity to define what
kind of files the user may create. If a file has a certain extension (such
as .mp3, .c, etc.), ibsh automatically erases it.

Changes: In this release, the admin has the opportunity to create a
separate cmds file for each user. This way the sysadmin has complete
control over sensitive applications, which should only be allowed to a
selected few. The admin also has the opportunity to create a separate
xtns file for each user. The extensions policy has been changed. Now both
globals.xtns and the user extension files will list the extensions that
are _allowed_ ! While the code for the search of illegal/ dangerous
material stored in user space is back, it will not erase any files any
more. Instead, it will remove all rights from that file, so it can not be
executed, or read. This is another "defense line" to stop the user to
execute programs, stored in user space. The access to all Linux binaries
and source code files stored in user space is now be blocked. Absolute
path for restricted users cannot be longer then 255 characters. All files
that are longer (with full path), will be renamed. There are also minor
bugfixes.

About: iText is a library that contains classes to generate documents in
the Portable Document Format (PDF), XML, HTML, and RTF. It can also parse
XML documents and convert them into any of these formats. Pages of
existing PDF files can be imported and copied to new PDF documents.

Changes: Lots of new examples and new chapters were added in the tutorial.
The most important novelty is the Toolbox object, which brings iText closer
to the desktop. Toolbox is a Java Swing application that can be used to
plug in different PDF tools provided by iText to provide encryption or to
generate handouts, for example.

[034] - Java xcripted page 1.3.0
by thlee (http://freshmeat.net/users/thlee/)
Thu, Apr 7th 2005 10:25

Software Development :: Interpreters

About: Jxp is a script processor/template-engine that can execute
template files containing text and Java code. It contains a parser to
parse the script file into an abstract syntax tree and a tree processor
that processes the syntax tree to execute the code using the reflection
API to produce output.

Changes: Functions are now able to access global variables. JxpParser was
updated to include static variable support. A page static variable feature
was implemented. File encoding support was added for CachingPageSource and
subclasses. JxpContext was added to encapsulate JxpPageSource and to add
default environment support. JxpProcessingContext was refactored not to be
JxpInvocable. The config digester was refactored to commons-java 1.5.0. An
unnecessary printing of exceptions in the generateException method was
removed, since that is supposed to be done by the application. File
reloading of FilePageSource when a parse exception occurs was fixed. A
modification check flag was added to FilePageSource.

[035] - jaxen 1.1-beta-4
by Elliotte Rusty Harold (http://freshmeat.net/users/elharo/)
Thu, Apr 7th 2005 07:39

Software Development :: Libraries

About: Jaxen is a universal XPath evaluation engine. It is currently
capable of executing XPath expressions against W3C DOM, JDOM, dom4j, and
XOM document trees.

Changes: Although still officially a beta, this release is a vast
improvement over 1.0, and all users are strongly encouraged to upgrade.
With a few small exceptions (most notably the deletion of ElectricXML
navigator), 1.1 is backwards compatible with code written to the 1.0 APIs.
Detailed changes include support for the lang() function. Return nodes are
queried in the correct document order. ancestor::* and ancestor-or-self::*
location steps no longer include the document node. Proper handling of NaN
was implemented. The mod operator works on floating point numbers.

[037] - Lost in Translation 1.0.0
by Ryan Stutsman (http://freshmeat.net/users/stutsman/)
Thu, Apr 7th 2005 23:49

Security :: Cryptography
Text Processing :: Linguistic

About: Lost in Translation is a steganographic encoder that exploits the
possibilities of steganographically embedding information in the "noise''
created by automatic translation of natural language documents. Because
natural language translation inherently creates plenty of room for
variation, it is ideal for steganographic applications. Also, because
there are frequent errors in legitimate automatic text translations,
additional errors inserted by an information hiding mechanism are
plausibly undetectable and would appear to be part of the normal noise
associated with translation.

[040] - Monica 3.0
by Paul Sherman (http://freshmeat.net/users/psherma1/)
Thu, Apr 7th 2005 04:54

Utilities

About: Monica is a monitor calibration tool using the FLTK library. It
works as frontend to xgamma to alter the gamma correction for XFree86 or
Xorg. The black point, gray, and color blocks help to find usable settings
for a target of 2.2 gamma, the Web, and sRGB standard. FLTK libs are not
needed for the binary.

Changes: Split-level color patches were added for setting individual
colors to a 2.2 gamma. A Black Point target was added, and color ramps
were removed because they were useless unless your color was way off.
Buttons were added alongside sliders for fine-tuning gamma adjustments. A
How To section was included in the info file. The code was cleaned up,
compilation warnings were eliminated, and more comments were added. The
tooltips should now be more explicit and plentiful.

Thu, Apr 7th 2005 07:25

System :: Operating System Kernels :: Linux

About: MOSIX is a management system that allows a cluster of x86 nodes to
perform like a parallel computer. It is particularly suitable to run
intensive computing and massive I/O applications. In a MOSIX system there
is no need to modify applications, link them with any library, or even
assign processes to different nodes. It is done automatically, just "fork
and forget", like in an SMP system. MOSIX is geared toward improved
performance, overhead-free scalability and ease-of-use.

[042] - NcFTP Client 3.1.9
by skrzat (http://freshmeat.net/users/skrzat/)
Thu, Apr 7th 2005 04:53

Internet :: File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

About: NcFTP Client (also known as NcFTP) is a set of application programs
implementing the File Transfer Protocol (FTP). It offers many ease-of-use
and performance enhancements over the stock ftp client.

Changes: The internal getline() and Duration() library functions were
renamed to gl_getline() and FTPDuration() to avoid namespace collisions
with glibc and Mac OS X libraries. Additional error response codes from
SITE UTIME are now recognized. If the server does not support setting
timestamps in MDTM, only one attempt is made. Control characters such as
NUL, CR, and LF are no longer allowed in FTP URLs to avoid command
injection. A problem where a timed-out transfer may have been detected but
still locked up the process was fixed. Small compatibility fixes were made
for Mac OS X, Solaris 10, and Linux.

by skrzat (http://freshmeat.net/users/skrzat/)
Thu, Apr 7th 2005 10:09

Internet :: File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

About: NcFTPd is a high-performance File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server
for UNIX systems, designed especially for high-traffic sites and internet
service providers.

Changes: NcFTPd can now handle group entries whose lines in /etc/group are
longer than 511 characters. Support for alternative password encryption
algorithms (such as Blowfish) on Linux was improved. Compatibility fixes
were made for Solaris 10, HP-UX 10 and SunOS 4. New general.cf options
include allow-mls and count-only-files-owned-by-user-towards-quota. A user
is no longer automatically disconnected if a data connection failed as a
result of a firewalled PORT, but after a failure the user will be forced
to use PASV. A bug where a ncftpd_passwd database could be locked for
extended periods of time was fixed. Bugfixes were made for the NcFTPd
quota subsystem. A bug where existing files beginning with a space could
not be deleted was fixed.

[048] - otl 0.26
by david a thompson (http://freshmeat.net/users/thomp/)
Thu, Apr 7th 2005 23:31

Text Processing :: General

About: otl is a Perl application that is a glorified search and replace
engine. The process is customizable; the application can be used to
generate markup such as HTML, XML, etc. from a text file with the user
able to customize the process to a substantial extent. While the program
is designed to be used to process outlines (e.g. lecture notes, etc.) and
generate nice HTML, it could be used in other contexts, as well by just
defining a new set of rules for the substitution process.

Changes: In this version, nested lists are processed better, and there is
improved documentation in the HOWTO . A GNU autoconf automake framework
was added so install is more of a no- brainer, a --pfile flag is now used
to indicate a parameter file, filename globbing is now dealt with, the
parameter file was modified so it specifies the file suffix to tag on
output file, diagnostic information that is written to stdout has been
trimmed, the project now checks to see if the file is already present
before overwriting, and a second script, "tag- remove", was added.

Changes: This release has benefited from a lot of live testing. The
feature set for the 1.0 release has been established. The code has been
cleaned and a lot of bugs squashed. There is still a known problem with
radio buttons, and the database wizard has yet to be written.

[051] - Propel 1.1.0

Thu, Apr 7th 2005 23:49

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries
Software Development :: Libraries :: PHP Classes

About: Propel is an object persistence layer for PHP5 based on Apache
Torque. In practical terms, it allows you to use objects instead of SQL to
read and write rows in your database tables. It provides a generator that
creates SQL definition files and PHP classes for your datamodel, and a
runtime engine that transparently handles object persistence and
retrieval. It makes it easy to customize generated classes; additionally,
the use of XML, PHP classes, and the Phing build tool make it easy to
integrate Propel with an existing application framework.

Changes: This release fixes a number of bugs and introduces new features
including pre-epoch date support, vendor-specific database metadata,
removal of the PEAR::Log dependency, and some new methods in generated OM
classes.

by Ben Escoto (http://freshmeat.net/users/bescoto/)

System :: Archiving :: Backup
Utilities

About: rdiff-backup backs up one directory to another. The target
directory ends up a copy of the source directory, but extra reverse diffs
are stored in a special directory so you can still recover files lost some
time ago. The idea is to combine the best features of a mirror and an
incremental backup. rdiff-backup can also operate in a bandwidth-
efficient manner over a pipe, like rsync. Thus you can use rdiff-backup
and ssh to securely back up to a remote location, and only the differences
will be transmitted. It can also handle symlinks, device files,
permissions, ownership, etc., so it can be used on the entire file system.

Changes: Ths release features a serious bugfix where symlinks could cause
rdiff-backup to go haywire.

and a little bit of Quake. It runs on DOS, Windows, and Linux and includes
many advanced features like OpenGL and Direct3D support, translucency,
freelook, jumping, a client/server architecture with in-game joining, a
Quake-style console, a powerful language to describe game logic (Vavoom
C), and much more.

Changes: This version supports most of the Boom level editing features
along with many other line specials. A new OpenGL driver for Linux that
should fix problems with the mouse was implemented. Saving of a
cooperative game was also implemented, and bugfixes and improvements were
made.

[063] - Worker 2.10.0
by BOOMERANG (http://freshmeat.net/users/boomerang/)
Thu, Apr 7th 2005 06:54

Desktop Environment :: File Managers

About: Worker is a file-manager for the X Window System with the classical
two panel interface. It features a fully graphical configuration, while
still allowing manual editing of the configuration file without the need
to restart Worker. Any external program can be integrated easily into the
GUI using buttons, hotkeys, and filetype-actions. Worker uses file
recognition by file content or by filename extension (or both). Different
actions with completely configurable commands can be assigned to each
filetype.

Changes: This release adds support for the virtual file system AVFS to
enter archives, FTP sites, and so on. There is a new option which prevents
Worker from entering the current directory when starting external programs.
Worker compiles with the upcoming gcc4, and a warning on 64-bit systems was
also fixed. Temporary files will now be stored in their own directory in
the tmp directory and $TMPDIR is now also honored. There are also some
other improvements and small fixes.
