by Karl Vollmer (http://freshmeat.net/users/vollmerk/)
Mon, Jan 9th 2006 04:18

Communications :: File Sharing
Information Management
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content

About: Ampache is a Web-based MP3/Ogg/RM/Flac/WMA/M4A manager. It allows
you to view, edit, and play your audio files via HTTP/IceCast/Mpd or
Moosic. It has support for downsampling, playlists, artist, and album
views, album art, random play, song play tracking, user themes, and remote
catalogs using XML-RPC.

Changes: The major additions in this version are a revamped registration
module, dynamic playlist tracks which are based on search results, and
Mysql5.x support. The install script has been improved so that it throws
errors instead of failing silently. A few remaining theme issues have been
resolved, and all old themes should work again without any modifications.
An experimental sorting script has also been added.

by Moritz Barsnick (http://freshmeat.net/users/barsnick/)
Mon, Jan 9th 2006 04:43

Communications :: File Sharing
Internet :: File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
System :: Software Distribution

About: BitTorrent is a tool for copying files from one machine to another.
FTP punishes sites for being popular. Since all uploading is done from one

clients automatically mirror files they download, making the publisher's
burden almost nothing.

Changes: The status light state machine was improved and a "signal
strength" indicator was added. Fastresume error messages were fixed.
Several IPC bugs and other bugs were fixed.

About: DaemonRip runs as a Unix daemon and polls a CD drive to see if an
audio CD is inserted. When an audio CD is detected, it will automatically

encoding applications. When finished ripping the disc, it will be ejected
from the drive, allowing you to insert a new one to continue the process.
No other user interaction is required. This application also keeps
statistics about your ripping and encoding times, and logs all of the
actions to a log file.

[020] - Fast Messaging Peer to Peer 0.7.1
by basking2 (http://freshmeat.net/users/basking2/)
Mon, Jan 9th 2006 23:29

Communications :: Chat
Communications :: File Sharing

About: Fast Messaging Peer to Peer (FM P2P) is a simple P2P program that
forms a TCP-based overlay network by which a user may chat or share
files. It is targetted at smaller networks and is not the most efficient
system in the world. It was designed to resolve the frustration of using
many different workstations with different operating systems and having
no way to easily transfer files or move notes.

Changes: A major change was made to the way a node learns about other
nodes. TCUP now carries layer 3 and 4 information related to that node's
outbound connections. Other nodes may observe outbound connection
annoucements and act accordingly. Also, distance is traced, allowing the
TCUP node to build a link state database. All outbound connections are
still driven by the FM layer's NodeManager module. This module now has the
notion of Ignore and Seed lists. Many bugs were fixed.

Changes: This release fixes problems for German users who were using the
English interface as well as intermittent login problems for users behind
a Web proxy or Web cache.

About: HA/FST is a high availability clustering tool for up to four
Solaris nodes. It supports any application that can be managed from the
command line. It comes with support for NIC failover, Apache, Oracle, NFS,
Samba, Solaris Volume Manager, Veritas Volume Manager, and application
fallback and failto.

Changes: The requirement for a license to use extended features was
removed, and the source code was released under the GNU GPL. If virtual
host takeover occurred on the last node in the cluster, the bringup is no
longer liable to be attempted on any random node. Using a reservation disk
no longer results in bringing the cluster down due to remaining nodes'
inability to lock a disk until SCSI timeout occurs. Label corrections in
fsthamon and minor documentation corrections were made.

[030] - HTTP client request class 2006.01.09
by Manuel Lemos (http://freshmeat.net/users/mlemos/)
Mon, Jan 9th 2006 23:35

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

About: HTTP client is a PHP class to make HTTP requests. It can submit
requests via a proxy server, establish secure connections (HTTPS) via a
proxy server, PHP with OpenSSL support, or the Curl library with optional
SSL client certificates. It supports HTTP authentication directly or via
proxy using the SASL library, like HTTP Basic, HTTP Digest, and NTLM
(Windows or Samba). It submits POST requests with user-defined form
values, file uploading, or with user-defined request bodies. It retrieves
the HTTP response headers and body data separately. It handles cookies and
automatic redirection handling.

Changes: Support for sending POST requests with body stream parts made of
an arbitrary sequence of either of string data or data files was added. A
bug in error handling when a premature end of the HTTP response header
lines was found was fixed. Custom request headers and body data is now
resent correctly during the authentication dialog.

[032] - Jhead 2.5
by Moritz Barsnick (http://freshmeat.net/users/barsnick/)
Mon, Jan 9th 2006 04:45

Multimedia :: Graphics
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Graphics Conversion

About: Jhead is a command line driven utility for extracting digital
camera settings from the Exif format files used by many digital cameras.
It handles the various confusing ways these can be expressed, and displays
them as F-stop, shutter speed, etc. It is also able to reduce the size of
digital camera JPEGs without loss of information, by deleting integral
thumbnails that digital cameras put into the Exif header. If you need to
add Exif support to a program, this is a simple program to cut and paste
from. Many projects, including PHP, have reused code from this utility.

Changes: A fix was made to avoid the duplication of the EXIF header on
some commands. Files permissions and times are now preserved at
modification. A new "-rt" option for replacing thumbnails and "-rgt" for
regenerating thumbnails were added, and thumbnails are now also
auto=rotated along with the image. New "-orp" and "-orl" options were
added to operate only on portrait or landscape aspect ratio images. The
program's return codes were fixed.

[034] - libmhash 0.9.4a
by imipak (http://freshmeat.net/users/imipak/)
Mon, Jan 9th 2006 23:39

Software Development :: Libraries

About: mhash is a thread-safe hash library implemented in C, and provides
a uniform interface to a large number of hash algorithms (MD5, SHA-1,
HAVAL, RIPEMD160, TIGER, GOST). These algorithms can be used to compute
checksums, message digests, and other signatures. The HMAC support
implements the basics for message authentication, following RFC 2104.

Changes: Unsigned data types are now used wherever possible. Core
functions now validate inputs. Duplicate functions have largely been
removed. System headers are now only included if they exist. Minor code
speedups were made and an alternative function numbering scheme was
implemented along with better support for weird compilers.

Security
Software Development :: Libraries
System :: Monitoring

About: The Prelude Library (libprelude) is the glue that binds all aspects
of Prelude together. It is a library which enables Prelude components to
communicate with the Prelude Manager. It also makes it easy for third
party software to be made 'Prelude Aware' (able to communicate with
Prelude components). It provide common, useful features used by every
sensor.

Changes: This release implemented analyzer revocation in prelude-adduser
(which will require an upcoming prelude-manager update so that revoked
analyzer are denied connections). prelude-adduser now uses GnuTLS
anonymous authentication in the event that SRP is not available, which is
becoming a requirement since some distributions disable SRP support due to
patent issues. A crash that occurred when providing prelude-adduser with a
specific option was fixed along with a potential OpenBSD compilation issue
due to a missing dependency in the GnuLib inet_ntop module.

flexible playlist (while playing!). It plays most MP3 formats and has full
mixer support built in.

Changes: A bug has been fixed that could cause mp3blaster to crash on
malformed MP3s. The cursor now follows the selection bar in the playlist
and file manager, in order to aid blind people. The project site has been
moved to sourceforge.

statements are no longer represented explicitly in the tree, but are
represented in terms of reference assignments (see "Converting PHP" for
details). Further, the abstract grammar has been modified slightly to make
it easier to use and more consistent. Finally, the operation of the
TreeTransform API has been improved for transforms that modify the tree
structure (explained in tutorial 3), and the internals of the
TreeTransform API have been documented.

Software Development :: Build Tools
Text Editors :: Integrated Development Environments (IDE)

About: Pieces of Flare is an Eclipse Plugin which allows (J2EE) developers
to synchronize source directories within their project to deployment
directories on the AppServer. This plugin is written to allow automatic
deployment of JSP files whenever they are saved, but it can be used for
any file type.

Changes: This version adds support for the scp file copy protocol for
copying files to remotely located hosts. Also, there are improvements to
the logging. It seemed that some people had trouble typing the fromDir and
toDir paths. A simple check to see if these paths exist has been added.
Hopefully this will make it easier to debug a configuration. Also, the
debug attribute can be set to false to suppress info level logging once
everything is working.

Scientific/Engineering
Software Development :: Libraries
System :: Clustering/Distributed Networks

About: PLPA is an attempt to solve the problem of multiple API's for
processor affinity within Linux. Specifically, the functions
sched_setaffinity() and sched_getaffinity() have numbers and types of
parameters depending on your Linux vendor and/or version of GLibc. This is
quite problematic for applications attempting to use processor affinity in
Linux for compile-time, link-time, and run-time reasons. The PLPA provides
a single processor affinity API that developers can write to in order to
get both consistent behavior and binary compatibility across different
Linux installations (assuming that you have an executable that is
otherwise binary Linux portable).

Changes: This is the first official stable release. No changes were made
since version 0.9a2 except the version number.

2.0, tags, and searching) and administrative controls (all Web-based) of
other, larger systems, but doesn't use a database, is XHTML 1.1-compliant
and its look can be completely customized via CSS. It can easily be scaled
to host several journal sites with a single installation.

Changes: This release introduces a number of important new features,
including a new preferences page that is much easier to use, moderation of
comments and trackbacks, recursive tag searching, support for the
<language> element of the RSS feed, a tag cloud feature, and a new French

by grantwallace (http://freshmeat.net/users/grantwallace/)
Mon, Jan 9th 2006 16:06

About: SharedAppVnc allows desktop windows to be shared or replicated
between remote computers. It is based on a modified VNC protocol.
Traditional VNC shares a user’s entire desktop, but this can be
problematic if some content, such as email, should be kept private.
SharedAppVnc resolves the private-public content problem by only sharing
the windows a user selects. Each shared window is shown in its own frame
on the client’s computer. This allows for independent resizing, moving, or
hiding of shared windows. Window positions on the local and remote client
are not dependent.

About: The SMS Server Tools (smstools) were made to send and receive SMS
from one or many GSM modems. They include a send/receive daemon and some
sample scripts to build an SMS email gateway and for logging into an SQL
database. The daemon waits for files in an outgoing spool directory and
sends them. It puts all received SMS in an incoming spool directory, and
can call any external program for incoming or outgoing notification. This
software support text messages in 7 and 16 bits (UCS2), as well as 8 bit
binary messages.

Changes: This release does not block the modem after every 3rd message,
and it can now be installed on systems where sh is not a link to bash

Communications
Internet
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio

About: Stream-2-Stream (abbreviated "s2s" or "S2S") allows anyone with a
normal broadband connection to set up their own Internet television or
radio station. Stations have no user limit, and can be set up without
paying a fortune for bandwidth. Stream-2-Stream saves bandwidth by passing
streams from one peer to another, rather than everyone getting a stream
from one central server (Shoutcast/Icecast). Supported codecs are MP3,
NSV, and Ogg Vorbis.

Changes: A volume slider was added. The server accepting code is slightly
more efficient. The server options panel was cleaned up. A station viewer
was added. Ogg recording was fixed.

by Andreas Steffen (http://freshmeat.net/users/asteffen/)
Mon, Jan 9th 2006 04:37

Security
Security :: Cryptography
System :: Networking

About: strongSwan is a complete IPsec and IKEv1 implementation for Linux
2.4 and 2.6 kernels. It interoperates with most other IPsec-based VPN
products. It is a descendant of the discontinued FreeS/WAN project. The
focus of the strongSwan project is on strong authentication mechanisms
using X.509 public key certificates and optional secure storage of private
keys on smartcards through a standardized PKCS#11 interface. A unique
feature is the use of X.509 attribute certificates to implement advanced
access control schemes based on group memberships.

Changes: A new "ipsec starter" utility that sets up and updates
connections much faster then the existing awk-based "ipsec setup" script
was added. It also provides an update option that only reloads connections
that have changed in ipsec.conf. "ipsec start --auto_update 60"
automatically checks for changes every 60 seconds. Thus if the
%defaultroute parameter is used to designate Pluto's own IP address, then
dynamic address or network interface changes can be handled without the
need to restart Pluto.

[065] - Systems of Ordinary Differential Equations 30
by Dennis Darland (http://freshmeat.net/users/djdarland/)
Mon, Jan 9th 2006 08:31

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. To solve STIFF equations, MAX_TERMS may be set.
Differentiation done automatically.

Changes: The calculation of the step size and order of Taylor series used
were greatly improved. A bug in diffs on RHS were also fixed.
