Multimedia :: Graphics
Software Development :: Libraries
Software Development :: User Interfaces

About: Agar is a graphical application framework aimed primarily at
object-oriented games and simulations. The engine handles persistence,
interdependencies, and memory management. It currently implements layered
2D levels, graphical object/level editing, and a GUI, as well as various
other useful interfaces.

Changes: Major UI optimizations have been made. Charset issues have been
addressed. Improvements have been made to the GL mode: the textbox widget
(and others) now render efficiently, widget clipping is now done
correctly, and screenshot support has been added. The hsvpal widget has
been optimized, and now allows graphical alpha selection and pixel format
binding. The menu now supports a toolbar and dynamic items. The
fspinbutton is now able to bind to integer values. Improvements have been
made to the sketch editor, related to selections, vertex displacements,
antialiased lines, line thickness, and textured polygons. A new "hpane"
widget has been added.

  Sat, Jun 11th 2005 13:41

Communications :: WAP
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Terminals :: Terminal Emulators/X Terminals

About: Anyterm provides a terminal emulator on a Web page using Javascript
and an Apache module. The module forks a shell and communicates with the
script using XMLHTTP on port 80, or securely using SSL. This provides you
with shell access to your machine from almost any Web browser, even when
firewalls are in the way. Also included is experimental support for WAP
browsers.

Changes: This release removes the arbitary limits on the number of
sessions and terminal dimensions by using proper memory management in the
shared memory region.

  by Talrias (http://freshmeat.net/users/Talrias/)
  Sat, Jun 11th 2005 12:54

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: Message Boards

About: aterr is a threaded forum system, allowing registered visitors to
express their opinions, discuss topics, and debate with other visitors. A

ability to nest forums, and moderation tools.

Changes: This version aterr includes some new features and code
optimizations to display faster, including RSS feeds for public forums,
optional email notification for bookmarked threads, a revised search tool
allowing searching invididual forums, and more secure sessions code.

  Sat, Jun 11th 2005 13:43

Utilities

About: Camera Picture Copier reads files from a source and copies them,
making a directory for each day and renaming all files to the time they

[012] - fdmess 0.7
  by Maurizio Monge (http://freshmeat.net/users/monx/)
  Sat, Jun 11th 2005 13:39

Software Development :: Debuggers

About: fdmess is a utility that works by attaching with ptrace to an
existing process and forcing it to execute certain syscalls. This lets you
force a process to drop privileges, to redirect a file descriptor to a file
or a TCP/IP connection, to connect a descriptor to the descriptor of
another running process with a Unix socket, or to set a file descriptor
equal to the descriptor of another running process (by using unix file
descriptor passing). Since the code hooks are architecture-dependent, at
the moment only the Linux-x86 and Linux-x86_64 platforms are supported.

[017] - HTTP Time Protocol 0.8.2 (KIS)
  by evervest (http://freshmeat.net/users/evervest/)
  Sat, Jun 11th 2005 13:18

Internet :: WWW/HTTP
System :: Networking :: Time Synchronization

About: HTTP Time Protocol is a time synchronization tool that uses Web
server responses (HTTP headers) instead of the NTP protocol. If you are
behind a corporate firewall, NAT device, or proxy server, HTP will still
be able to synchronize the time. For high precision time synchronization,
use ntpd.

Changes: A bug which prevented syncing at all was fixed. Version 0.8.1 is
very broken, so all users should update.

[021] - JNex 3.4
  by shesse (http://freshmeat.net/users/shesse/)
  Sat, Jun 11th 2005 23:39

Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries

About: Jnex is a pure Java framework for the implementation of the
model-view-controller design pattern on three different presentation
tiers: Swing, HTML, and Canoo ULC. It provides a set of data models that
can be infinitelly nested and structured to represent simple values and
structures. These data models can then be automatically translated to the
different viewer types. Whole model structures can be rendered recursivly
as forms of simple viewers. It is easy to create and register models in
the default model-viewer mapping.

Changes: Jnex is now developed at SourceForge by its initial developers
(Nexirius). In version 3.4, jnex comes with a new servlet implementation
for translating models to HTML viewers, the ability to make models
persistant by transforming any of them into a string and vice-versa, the
ability to access JDBC with jnex data models, and a wide range of
predefined models and viewers.

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

About: PHPS is a framework for separating HTML from PHP or, more
generally, content from functionality. PHPS comes with a parser that
converts your HTML code into PHP objects which you can then manipulate and
finally render back into HTML. PHPS is extremely flexible and allows you to
add arbitrary tags that convert into PHP objects, simplifying your HTML
code.

[030] - PStreams 0.5.2
  by Jonathan Wakely (http://freshmeat.net/users/redi/)
  Sat, Jun 11th 2005 08:08

Software Development
Utilities

About: PStreams allows you to run another program from your C++
application and to transfer data between the two programs, similar to
shell pipelines. In the simplest case, a PStreams class is like a C++
wrapper for the POSIX.2 functions popen(3) and pclose(3), using C++
IOStreams instead of C's stdio library. The library provides class
templates in the style of the standard IOStreams that can be used with any
standard-conforming C++ compiler on a POSIX platform. The classes use a
streambuf class that uses fork() and the exec family of functions to
create a new process and to write/read data to/from the process.

Changes: This release adds support for streambuf::in_avail() for platforms
that support the FIONREAD ioctl request (known to work on Linux, FreeBSD,
and Solaris). It is now possible to detect when the shell command failed
to execute, as long as you open the pstream using the functions taking
argv_type. If the command is not found or cannot be executed,
pstreambuf::is_open() will return false. This makes it possible to
distinguish the cases in which the command cannot be run and when it runs

[033] - Rats! 1.6.0
  by Robert Grimm (http://freshmeat.net/users/rgrimmm/)
  Sat, Jun 11th 2005 13:36

Software Development :: Code Generators
Software Development :: Compilers

About: Rats! is a parser generator for C-like languages (currently only
Java). It has been designed so that grammars are concise and easily
extensible. To that end, it relies on ordered choices to avoid
ambiguities, supports syntactic predicates for unlimited lookahead, and
integrates lexing with parsing. It also has extensive support for
automatically generating abstract syntax trees, thus greatly reducing the
need for explicit semantic actions.

Changes: This release focuses on performance improvements. For example,
Java parser throughput has improved by 49%. This release also features a
significant code clean-up and introduces a query and transformation engine
for abstract syntax trees, which is based on an XPath-like query language.

[034] - tntnet 1.4.0pre3
  by Tommi Mäkitalo (http://freshmeat.net/users/tmaek/)
  Sat, Jun 11th 2005 22:06

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: HTTP Servers

About: Tntnet is a Web application server for generating Web applications
in C++. HTML pages with some additional tags for inclusion of C++ code are
compiled into shared libraries and served from tntnet. It resembles PHP,
JSP, or Mason, but the programming language used is C++, and the pages are
compiled into native code before serving. Tntnet is fully multithreaded and
supports http-keep-alive for best performance. Dynamic pages are served
about as fast as static pages in other Web servers, while creating Web
applications keeps simple.

Changes: The API for calling subcomponents in C++-mode was simplified. The
ecpp-compiler ecppc can now automatically generate dependencies for a
Makefile (with -M).
