[001] - b0xNet 1.3
by Rick Fournier (http://freshmeat.net/users/chong/)

[002] - BashDiff 1.18
by William Park (http://freshmeat.net/users/opengeometry/)
Sun, Jun 12th 2005 00:08

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: Two diff files have been combined into a single all-inclusive
patch. "Lsql", "Msql", and "Psql" return the shell variables NF and NR.
"raise" now uses string exceptions, instead of integers. The "array"
builtin has been removed in favour of ${var|+regex} and ${var|-regex}
which do regex splitting or extraction. Most importantly, if the splitting
is double quoted, then "$" behavior will be followed. Also, ${var|,sep}
now has symmetry, either splitting a string or joining list items. Support
for the CSV format (splitting, quoting, dequoting) has been added.

About: mod_psldap is an Apache module that performs authentication
authorization against an LDAP server using several different means of

like posting malicious JavaScript.

Sun, Jun 12th 2005 21:04

About: ReleaseForge is a GUI application designed for project
administrators and release engineers of projects that are hosted at
SourceForge. It is intended to make it easier and faster to create a new
release and edit existing releases rather than using the SourceForge Web
interface. It streamlines the release effort by prompting you for
information regarding your new release (version info, change log, release
notes, files to include, etc). It then seamlessly negotiates with the
SourceForge Web server, creating your release, posting your release
notes/change log, uploading your files to the SourceForge FTP server,
selecting the files for inclusion in your release on the SourceForge Web
server, updating the file attributes of each of the files and then, if
appropriate, notifying monitoring users of the new release.

Changes: This release introduces freshmeat integration. Users can now
publish freshmeat project announcements within ReleaseForge.

Internet
Software Development :: Version Control
System :: Archiving :: Packaging

About: The Zero Install Injector makes it possible for users to install
software easily and without the need for root privileges. It takes the URL
of a program's interface description and chooses suitable versions of the
program and all of its dependencies (also identified by URLs) according to
the user's policy settings (eg. "stable", "testing", "minimal network use",
etc). The chosen versions are downloaded and cached and the program is run,
using environment variables to let it find the components.

Changes: The 0store command was added, which allows low-level cache
manipulation (add, find, list, verify, and calculate manifest). Symlinks
are now allowed in implementations. An error which prevented confirming a
new GPG key fingerprint with the console interface was fixed. Archives in
tar.bz2 format are now supported.
