Wed, Sep 28th 2005 17:18

Education
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content

About: Coursor is a Web-based academic course system for assigning
students to university courses. It has an evolutionary algorithm for
assigning students to the courses they requested. This algorithm tries to

third party with flexible licensing.

Changes: A bug in some of the string retrieval functions was fixed, which
caused libdbi to return NULL instead of an empty string.

[019] - DenyHosts 1.1.1
by Phil Schwartz (http://freshmeat.net/users/phil_schwartz/)
Wed, Sep 28th 2005 17:24

About: DenyHosts is a script intended to help Linux system administrators
thwart ssh server attacks. DenyHosts scans an ssh server log, updates
/etc/hosts.deny after a configurable number of failed attempts from a
rogue host is determined, and alerts the administrator of any suspicious
logins.

Changes: This release adds support for emailing reports for SMTP servers
that require authentication. It adds optional SMTP_USERNAME and
SMTP_PASSWORD configuration parameters. A daemon mode bug that may have
caused the TTY to hang on logout has been fixed. The lock file is now
created with 0644 permissions.

[020] - DKMS 2.0.6
by lerhaupt (http://freshmeat.net/users/lerhaupt/)
Wed, Sep 28th 2005 04:28

System :: Systems Administration

About: DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module Support) is a framework where device
driver source can reside outside the kernel source tree so that it is very
easy to rebuild modules as you upgrade kernels. This allows Linux vendors
to provide driver drops without having to wait for new kernel releases (as
a stopgap before the code can make it back into the kernel), while also
taking out the guesswork for customers attempting to recompile modules for
new kernels. For veteran Linux users it also provides some advantages since
a separate framework for driver drops will remove kernel releases as a
blocking mechanism for distributing code.

Changes: This release contains a fix for a bug with DKMS's handling of
packages which contained some modules that had an original module in a
kernel but also other modules which did not have original modules in that
kernel. This specific situation caused an internal variable not to get
reset, causing the possibility that DKMS could trample over both new and
old drivers. It only occurs in this specific scenario, but is now fixed in
2.0.6. Also, additional minor enhancements were made.

[021] - DSPAM 3.6 Final Release Candidate (Development)
by Nuclear Elephant (http://freshmeat.net/users/jzdziarski/)
Wed, Sep 28th 2005 17:27

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

About: DSPAM is a server-side statistical anti-spam agent for Unix email
servers. It masquerades as the email server's local delivery agent and
effectively filters spam using a combination of de-obfuscation techniques,
specialized algorithms, and statistical analysis. The result is an
administratively maintenance-free, self-learning anti-spam tool. DSPAM has
yielded real-world success rates beyond 99.9% accuracy with less than a
0.01% chance of false positives.

Changes: An infinite improbability drive has been added to display odds
ratios in an X-DSPAM-Improbability header. The license has been bound to
GPLv2, moving forward as a precaution. The css_drv driver has been renamed
to hash_drv (hash driver). Minor tokenizer changes have been made to
improve accuracy and address small tokenizer tricks. Minor changes to the
delivery summary have been made. Legacy algorithm switches have been
removed from autoconf. Additional autoconf and options have moved into
dspam.conf.

[022] - DUMA 2.4.20
by Hayati Ayguen (http://freshmeat.net/users/hayguen/)
Wed, Sep 28th 2005 03:36

Software Development :: Debuggers
Software Development :: Libraries
Software Development :: Testing

About: DUMA (Detect Unintended Memory Access) stops your program on the
exact instruction that overruns (or underruns) a malloc() memory buffer.
GDB will then display the source-code line that causes the bug. It works
by using the virtual-memory hardware to create a red-zone at the border of
each buffer: touch that, and your program stops. It can catch formerly
impossible-to-catch overrun bugs. DUMA is a fork of Bruce Perens' Electric
Fence library.

Changes: The Makefile was fixed so that the shared library is functional.
A bug in reduceProtectedMemory() was fixed. Memory allocation is now
attempted in loop until reduceProtectedMemory() fails deallocating more
memory. Long running programs with much memory handling should benefit.
_duma_allocate() returns (void*)0 when userSize==0. Alignment was made
tighter.

[023] - Easy KM 2.0
by Romuald Texier (http://freshmeat.net/users/mydevel/)
Wed, Sep 28th 2005 05:09

Office/Business

About: Easy KM is a scalable, powerful, and easy to use knowledge
management system. It provides a structured document management system,
full-text searching, automated PDF reports, statistics and performance
indicators, email alarms, and fine-grained user profile management. It can
be easily integrated into distributed systems using its Web service
interface and ATOM/RSS channels.

Changes: Easy KM now uses Unicode for all text, and supports versioning of
documents and external (Web) resources. The latter are automatically
monitored, and new versions are created whenever a change is detected. The
search engine can now relay users' requests to Google, AllTheWeb, Yahoo!,
and others. In Easy KM 2.0, the management of user identities is left to
an external LDAP directory for better integration and consistency within
organizations. You can now export/import the knowledge base or part of it
as XML. As usual, a great emphasis was put on ergonomics with more
interactive widgets.

by Eldad Zack (http://freshmeat.net/users/eldadz/)
Wed, Sep 28th 2005 13:25

System :: Logging
System :: Monitoring

About: EventWatcher is a KDE application which notifies you about various
events. "Events" are pieces of information, for example, news ticker or
blog updates, new emails, user logons, system warnings, or hardware
events, etc. They are collected by EventWatcher plugins and sent to the
main application which lives in the KDE system tray. Several plugins are
available.

Changes: This release adds a keep button to each event item, as with the
delete button. The DCOP plugin registers without a PID. The log plugin
includes the log filename in the title to help grouping.

[026] - ezXML 0.8.5
by Aaron Voisine (http://freshmeat.net/users/voisine/)
Wed, Sep 28th 2005 04:23

Software Development :: Libraries
Text Processing :: Markup :: XML

About: ezXML is a C library for parsing XML documents inspired by
simpleXML for PHP. As the name implies, it's easy to use. It's ideal for
parsing XML configuration files or REST Web service responses. It's also
fast and lightweight (less than 20k compiled).

Changes: ezxml_toxml() was fixed to not output siblings of the tag being
converted. A segfault was fixed when ezxml_set_attr() was used on a new
root tag. The ezxml_name() function macro was added. All external
functions now handle NULL ezxml_t structs without segfaulting.

[031] - GNU ddrescue 1.1-rc1 (Development)
by Antonio Diaz Diaz (http://freshmeat.net/users/ant_diaz/)
Wed, Sep 28th 2005 17:51

System :: Recovery Tools

About: GNU ddrescue is a data recovery tool. It copies data from one file
or block device (hard disc, cdrom, etc) to another, trying hard to rescue
data in case of read errors. GNU ddrescue does not truncate the output
file if not asked to. So, every time you run it on the same output file,
it tries to fill in the gaps. The basic operation of GNU ddrescue is fully
automatic. That is, you don't have to wait for an error, stop the program,
read the log, run it in reverse mode, etc. If you use the logfile feature
of GNU ddrescue, the data is rescued very efficiently (only the needed
blocks are read). Also you can interrupt the rescue at any time and resume
it later at the same point.

Changes: This release aligns its I/O buffer to the sector size so that it
can be used to read from raw devices. A small tutorial has been added to
the info file. Two missing headers have been included.

Software Development :: Internationalization
Software Development :: Libraries :: Perl Modules
Software Development :: Localization

About: libintl-perl is a library that supports message translation for
Perl, written in pure Perl (version 5.004 or better). A faster C version
is also built and installed if the system fulfills all requirements. Its
interface is a superset of the gettext family of functions in C, and it

tools available for gettext itself and to seamlessly integrate
internationalized Perl code into mixed-language projects. An alternative
library with a similar purpose is available as Locale::MakeText.

Changes: This version allows output filtering for translations. You can
nor for example register a function that sets the utf-8 flag on
translation. Additionally, a new function turn_utf_8_on() can be used to
portably set the utf-8 flag on arbitrary strings, regardless of the
underlying Perl version.

System :: Logging

About: log4sh is a logging framework for shell scripts that works similar
to the other wonderful logging products available from the Apache Software
Foundataion (eg. log4j, log4perl). Although not as powerful as the others,
it can make the task of adding advanced logging to shell scripts easier,
and has much more power than just using simple "echo" commands throughout.
In addition, it can be configured from a properties file so that scripts in
a production environment do not need to be altered to change the amount of
logging they produce.

Changes: The biggest change was a much improved method for writing temp
files. This method should be much more securem as there are no longer any
race conditions possible.

About: NoMachine NX is a fast terminal server system based on the X11
protocol. In addition, NX also translates and embeds the MS Windows
Terminal Server and VNC protocols into X/NX. NX is an order of magnitude
faster than VNC or X11 and can run on bandwidth as narrow as 10 kBit/sec.
By embedding RDP and RFB, it enables users to compress and accelerate
remote Windows and VNC sessions. NX lets you work fluently even across
slow links like modems. The NX project provides a suite of libraries and
X11 proxying agents implementing efficient compression and optimized
transport of X11, SMB, IPP, HTTP, and arbitrary protocols like audio over
the Internet.

Changes: This is the second maintenance release of the 1.5.0 NX client
software. It fixes a number of bugs affecting the second 1.5.0 release,
including a possible crash of the Windows X server when a session was
closed, the inability to configure settings for a Unix XDM session from
the NX Connection Wizard, and the inability to explicitly save or revert
modifications done in the client configuration. It adds a run-time check
on the cygdrive mount point, improves copy and paste in rootless sessions
on Windows, and improves the quality of the Debian packages.

systems. It is a Java WebApp and works with Tomcat.

Changes: The primary new feature is the inclusion of pluggable exception
handlers. Exception handlers deal with otherwise uncaught bugs at the top
level of the application. From the installer you can choose from three
exception handlers: JustWhinge (exception reports are written to the log;
Alert (exception reports are emailed to the site owner); and Bugzilla (a
Bugzilla form is generated pre-filled with the details of the exception,
and the user is invited to submit it). This release is packaged with
antinstaller.

Wed, Sep 28th 2005 13:34

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: HTTP Servers
Software Development :: Interpreters

About: PTM is a Perl/HTML hybrid language, written entirely in Perl, and
similar to PHP in tag syntax. It allows for the ease of PHP-style inline
code in your dynamic HTML documents, while supplying the power of Perl
that many find to be sorely lacking in PHP. PTM's parser application,
referred to as the PPA, acts as an Apache plugin, a standalone parser
placed in the cgi-bin, or a command line parser (for debugging purposes),
and is distributed for both Unix and Window platforms. Additionally, PTM
wraps many variables common to PHP to ease the transition between PTM and
PHP when switching back and forth.

[072] - tntnet 1.5.0pre2 (Development)
by Tommi Mäkitalo (http://freshmeat.net/users/tmaek/)
Wed, Sep 28th 2005 05:05

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 configurationscript now detects zlib and complains if it is
missing. In tnt-component-creation one level of indirection is removed,
which results in a binary incompatibility to previous releases.

[078] - Webcockpit 1.5.0
by Peter Klauser (http://freshmeat.net/users/pjk/)
Wed, Sep 28th 2005 04:22

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Presentation
Scientific/Engineering :: Visualization

About: Webcockpit is a Web application generator for reporting and
monitoring applications. It generates complete JSP-based Web applications
which contain charts and tables whose contents are retrieved using
database queries. The charts and tables can be configured to link to each
other, enabling master detail-like drill-down. You can provide your own
HTML or JSP template files which are mixed with the generated JSP to
provide a final Web application.

Changes: This minor release greatly improves the tabulation power by using
the "displaytag" JSP taglib for runtime HTML table generation. Features
include sorting or grouping by column, pagination, data export to CSV,
Excel, and XML formats, and having full control of the table's CSS style
markup. Improvements to charts include the possibility of defining the
orientation of the label for the category axis. The embedded charting
library "jfreechart" (v1.0.0) and "cewolf" (v0.11.0) have been upgraded to
the latest versions.

[080] - XArchive 0.2.2-1
by yargoflick (http://freshmeat.net/users/ligelowbee/)
Wed, Sep 28th 2005 04:16

System :: Archiving

About: XArchive is a GUI frontend for commandline archiving tools. It uses
external executable wrappers to communicate with the tools. It consults a
wrapper directory at startup to see what types of files it supports,
making adding support for new archive formats a matter of writing a
wrapper for its tool and dropping it in the wrappers directory. Wrappers
are included for tar, RAR, ZIP, and ACE (extraction only).

Changes: XArchive now has faster loading times for large archives,
progress bars, and all the popup dialogs have been made transient to the
main window (so they won't get buried).
