[009] - Email address validation component 2005.09.06
by Manuel Lemos (http://freshmeat.net/users/mlemos/)
Wed, Sep 7th 2005 00:32
Communications :: Email :: Email Clients (MUA)
Internet
Software Development :: Libraries :: PHP Classes
About: This is a PHP class that attempts to validate a given e-mail
address at three levels: matching the address against a RFC compliant
regular expression, verifing the existence of the destination SMTP server
by verifying the respective DNS MX record, and connecting to that server
to see if the given address is accepted as a valid recipient. The class
also features a debugging output option that lets you see the remote SMTP
server connection and data exchange dialog to see the real cause why an
apparently valid address may not be accepting messages.
Changes: The class now returns undetermined email address validity if the
SMTP server returns 4XX error codes for the RCPT command, as that may mean
the server is using a grey list and so the tested address may not be really
invalid as the class was stating previously.

CategorizedLink. Policies can now have more than one type. A new type Link
for HTML Meta information. New types SynonymResolution and Prefix for name
space management. A new type Envelope for more complex digital signature

[014] - flac2mp3 0.2.7
by Robin Bowes (http://freshmeat.net/users/robinbowes/)
Wed, Sep 7th 2005 06:14
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Conversion
About: flac2mp3 is a Perl script to convert FLAC files to MP3 format. It
will process an entire directory tree and put the MP3 files in a similar
structure. Tags are converted where possible. It will only process a file
if the flac file is newer than the MP3 file or if the tags have changed.
If just the tags have changed then just the tags are processed, i.e. the
file does not have to be transcoded again. flac2mp3 comes bundled with all
the non-standard Perl modules required to run. It has been tested on Fedora
Core 4 with Perl v5.8.6 and on Windows XP with ActiveState Perl v5.8.7.
Changes: The way file and directory names are processed was changed to be
more portable, as it now makes more extensive use of File::Spec.
MusicBrainz tags are now processed.

shows things like the largest files, the newest files, and core files.
It can be run from cron or as a daemon.
Changes: More flexibility in the time expression that can be used in
fs-report was added. More tolerance for OS-native "du" was is also added,
and the Perl interpreter to use can now be configured. Some small
documentation and sample program corrections were made.

[026] - IP2More 3.0.0
by Bakr Alsharif (http://freshmeat.net/users/FreePrisoner/)
Wed, Sep 7th 2005 06:40
About: IP2More is a class to simplify ip2country functions and let you
know more about the source of the IP address, such as its Country, ISO2
Code, ISO3 Code, FIPS104 Code, ISO Number, Region, Capital, Currency,
Currency Code, and flag (small and big). If you have a form on which the
user should select her country from a list, IP2More has a built-in
function which will print dropdown list options and (optionally) select
the user's country based on her IP address. It doesn't need a database; it
depends on flat files which can be updated easily and works very fast
because it uses indexes in the search.
Changes: If the IP address was not found in the local database, its
information will be fetched from a Whois server. The "is_valid_ip"
function was added, and it will check the validity of the given IP
address. The "find_country" function was added, and it will find a country
by providing any information about it (name, iso2, iso3, fips104, or even
the Capital). The fips104 field in the country list was updted.

Information Management
Information Management :: Records Management
About: Magellan Metasearch is a modular meta search engine, enabling users
to monitor as many search engines as they want. It provides a complex query
language with standard boolean operators, meta-operators (to search through
pages' metadata), and proximity operators. This language enables users to
perform far more complex queries than what common search engines currently
support. It can be fed any custom sources, since its abstraction layer
manages the search results and their meta tags in a uniform way. In
conjunction with the local process scheduler (such as "cron"), Magellan
enables you to save your requests and replay them later automatically; new
results are sent through email and RSS in realtime. Magellan also provides
full anonymity through smart multi-proxy support.
Changes: The BlogDigger driver has been adapted to the new output format
of the search engine.

[063] - SDE for NetBeans 3.0 (20050624q)
by Visual Paradigm International Ltd.
(http://freshmeat.net/users/elyse_mirror/)
Wed, Sep 7th 2005 05:00
Education
Scientific/Engineering :: Visualization
Software Development
About: SDE for NetBeans is a UML modeling environment tightly integrated
with NetBeans. It lets you draw all types of UML diagrams (use case
diagram, class diagram, sequence diagram, activity diagram, etc.) in
NetBeans, reverse source code (Java, C++, XML, XML Schema, CORBA IDL,
etc.) to UML models, and generate Java source from UML diagrams. It
features a Rational Rose importer, an XMI importer, HTML/PDF
documentation generators, and plug-in and template support.
Changes: An exception which occurred when generating ORM code with
persistable class that extends a normal class was fixed. The inability to
connect object flow from output pin to expansion node was fixed. A DB
table with multiple FK references to the same table and reversed only 1 FK
was fixed. Synchronization of ERD to a class diagram was fixed, so an
entity with multiple FK references to the same entity will generate
multiple associations with the same name. Exporting a diagram as EMF was
fixed so that it cannot overwrite an existing file.

[066] - Sitellite Content Management System 4.2.5
by Lux (http://freshmeat.net/users/lux55/)
Wed, Sep 7th 2005 11:57
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management
About: Sitellite is an advanced Web-based Content Management System (CMS)
and PHP content publishing framework.
Changes: This release fixes the table type for sitellite_news for MySQL
4.1+, a reference to $this->current outside of an object,
saf.Database.Manager to properly call mysql_select_db() on setCurrent()
for multiple MySQL connections, and the cms/filesystem box to handle file
sizes that take longer than 30 seconds to download. It adds new methods
and functions to saf.Session.Source, including the getActive() method and
session_user_get_active() function, as well as session_user_is_unique()
and session_user_get_email(). It eliminates two database calls in
sitemember/list for a minor speed boost.

[068] - Spike PHPCoverage 0.6.5
by Nimish (http://freshmeat.net/users/pnimish/)
Wed, Sep 7th 2005 21:30
Software Development :: Quality Assurance
Software Development :: Testing
About: Spike PHPCoverage is a tool for measuring and reporting code
coverage provided by the test suite of a PHP application. It can
instrument and record the line coverage information for any PHP script at
runtime. It also provides an extensible reporting mechanism with a
standard HTML report implemented out of the box. The default report
displays the summary information about the code coverage for an
application and also shows the detailed information about a file
including which lines were actually executed and with what frequency. It
is possible to specify the directories and files that should be included
and/or excluded from a coverage measurement.
Changes: This is mainly a bugfix and enhancement release. The most
important new feature is the substantial performance improvement in the
code. While some more improvements are possible, this release should
reduce the memory consumption and increase the speed of PHPCoverage by a
significant amount.

[070] - Systems of Ordinary Differential Equations 19
by Dennis Darland (http://freshmeat.net/users/djdarland/)
Wed, Sep 7th 2005 11:25
About: SODE uses long Taylor series to solve systems of ordinary
differential equations. It generates code to solve the equations in either
Icon (or Unicon) or Maple. Using the Taylor series, estimates are made of
the location and order of poles. An effort is made to adjust H to control
the error. It has worked well in testing, but needs more testing as there
are so many possibilities.
Changes: This release removes commented out and "dead" code. It should
make the code easier to understand.

[076] - WiKID Strong Authentication System 1.0-beta (PHP network client
plugin)
by nowen (http://freshmeat.net/users/nowen/)
Wed, Sep 7th 2005 07:34
Security
Security :: Cryptography
System :: Networking
About: The WiKID Strong Authentication System is a highly scalable, secure
two-factor authentication system consisting of a server, a token client,
and network clients that connect a service such as a VPN or Web page to
the WiKID server to validate one-time passcodes. The user enters their PIN
into the token client, where it is encrypted and sent to the server. If the
PIN is correct, the encryption valid, and account active, the one-time
passcode is generated, encrypted, and returned to the user. It is simple
to implement and maintain, allows users to be validated automatically,
requires no hardware tokens, has a simple API for application support via
a COM object and Java component, supports multiple domains, and supports
replication for fault tolerance and scalability.
Changes: You can now use WiKID one-time passcodes to authenticate users of
your PHP Web applications. This release includes a code sample called
sample.php which shows how simple it is to add users, validate users, and
add new tokens.
