[001] - Atomibulator 1.1
  by Christian Kreibich (http://freshmeat.net/users/cpk/)
  Sat, Jan 7th 2006 00:36

Internet :: WWW/HTTP

About: The Atomibulator is a script that monitors arbitrary Web sites for
changes and reports these updates through Atom and RSS feeds.
Configuration is done through Wikipedia pages, so your users don't have to
install anything. Filter tags allow the stripping of certain HTML tags to
avoid confusion through advertisements or other irrelevant updates.

Changes: HTML tag filters and download timeouts were added.

[002] - Backup Buddy 0.85
  by Benjamin Smith (http://freshmeat.net/users/mcrbids/)
  Sat, Jan 7th 2006 00:30

System :: Archiving :: Backup

About: Backup Buddy is a set of scripts which make versioned,
disk-to-disk, backups via rsync easy. It allows the user to set up
disk-to-disk backups that happen automatically.

Changes: If disk space is running low, the scripts now display an error
instead of deleting the last remaining branch of an account. This prevents
you from having to resync an entire file tree in the event of disk space
shortages.

Scientific/Engineering

About: boinc can be used as a console tool to display information about
BOINC projects and working units. It can also be used to start or stop
BOINC.

Changes: The script now uses the options -dir and -redirectio when
starting BOINC, and the log file is no longer "boinc.log", but the
BOINC-generated "stdoutae.txt". Wrong behavior which occurred when a
project had several applications has been fixed.

  Sat, Jan 7th 2006 00:29

About: cowdancer allows copy-on-write file access. You can copy a full
tree using hard links, and cowdancer will create a new copy when you need
to write to a file. It's completely implemented in userland, and should
run on most Linux filesystems.

Changes: Speed improvements were made. The binary ilist is saved in
cow-shell and loaded mmap in cowdancer. The ilist is now also sorted. The
code is now a bit more thread-safe.

  Sat, Jan 7th 2006 00:20

About: JamochaMUD offers Unicode, plug-in, and multi-language support (8

It features command history, synchronized window controls, experimental
SOCKS 5 support, and greatly improved ANSI colour support. It plays nice
on Unix systems, supports a wide range of MU*s, and also includes
emulation of some TinyFugue editor controls. It uses Java 1.1, and
includes classes to be easily reused in other Java applications.

Changes: The client now supports connecting to MU*s using SSL. User
history length is now user-definable. A fix was implemented to avoid a
hang during the first time a user tries to connect to a server. The splash
screen no longer obscures the setup dialogue during a first run. Upon the
initial run, the pane split between input and output windows is now set to
a more usable size.

[012] - mysqmail-qmail-pop3d 0.3.1-R0
  by Thomas Goirand (http://freshmeat.net/users/zigo/)
  Sat, Jan 7th 2006 07:58

Communications :: Email :: Post-Office :: POP3
Internet :: Log Analysis
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management

About: mysqmail-qmail-pop3d is a replacement for the qmail standard
checkpasswd that does authentication via a MySQL table. When done, it sets
up two more environment variables, MYSQMAIL_USERNAME and
MYSQMAIL_DOMAINNAME. The mysqmail qmail-pop3d replacement will use these
variables to do the traffic accounting in the MySQL table for the account.

Changes: This release adds realtime management of the POP3 bandwidth
directly in a new email_accounting table, so you have the total bandwidth
per domains in realtime.

  Sat, Jan 7th 2006 07:47

System :: Filesystems
System :: Operating System Kernels :: Linux
System :: Systems Administration

About: ngacl is an effort to give Linux and its filesystems a full blown
ACL system, similar to that used by NFSv4 and Windows. With this software,
you have 13 different access rights, dynamic inheritance, and audit ACLs.
The implementation is filesystem-independent because the kernel parts are
an LSM module. In addition, there is a Samba-VFS module that enables you
to alter ACLs with the Windows ACL editor.

Changes: This release adds working audit ACLs, stability, and semantic
enhancements.

About: html2ps is a PHP equivalent of the popular Perl script by the same
name that accurately converts HTML with images, complex tables (including
rowspan/colspan), layers/divs, and CSS styles to Postscript and PDF.
Unlike most other HTML2PS/HTML2PDF converters, it offers good CSS 2.1
support and is very tolerant to non-valid HTML. It can convert even
CSS-intense sites like aol.com and msn.com.

Changes: This release adds the A0-A3 and A6-A10 paper sizes, several
updates to the documentation and source code comments, and support for
interactive text and button form fields. It fixes lengths given in
relative "em" and "ex" units being incorrectly calculated for the
"background-position" property, TH attributes being ignored, a PHP 5
compatibility problem, part of the content after a manual page break being
printed on the same page, and printing the text on the page margins inside
the fixed-positioned elements.

-expanded options are now supported. A command line option that causes the
program to start up in substitution mode was added. The default program has
was changed from egrep to Tcl. A bug in which attempts to obtain version
information from nawk triggered an error was fixed.
