[003] - CACAO 0.94
by Christian Thalinger (http://freshmeat.net/users/twisti/)
Sat, Jan 28th 2006 15:36
About: CACAO is a JIT compiler for Java. It started as a research JavaVM
to explore new implementation techniques. It is available for Alpha, Arm,
i386, MIPS (32- and 64-bit), PowerPC (32-bit), and x86-64 architectures.
Changes: Compilation of the interpreter and JIT compiler into one binary
is now supported (but not enabled by default). The bootstrap ZIP code was
rewritten, improving VM startup time. The JNI DirectByteBuffer functions
were fixed, so jogl now works. Most third-party files were removed from
the repository, since the program links to the libraries instead. The VM
interface Java files which were identical to the GNU Classpath upstream
versions were removed. defineClassWithTransformers was added to
java.lang.VMClassLoader. A lot of bugfixes were made.

is now possible to set initial values for any MIDI-CC controlled effect
parameters. Many minor bugfixes and improvements were made to the Ecasound
Control Interface implementation. Some improvements were also made to the
ecasignalview utility.

leaves the programmer free to handle the important stuff: where to find
data (DNs and Filters) and what do do with it (map to and from domain
objects, bind, modify, unbind, etc.).

host OS and device types via TCP/IP fingerprinting. Nmap offers flexible
target and port specifications, decoy/stealth scanning for firewall and
IDS evasion, and highly optimized timing algorithms for fast scanning.
Changes: This is a pre-release for testing before the upcoming 4.0
release. Changes since version 3.99 include runtime interaction support
for Windows (it already worked on UNIX), new nmap-mac-prefixis and
nmap-protocols files, an updated (to 6.4) LibPCRE, and some fixes to
enable compilation on the new Intel-based Macs.

About: sipsak is a command line tool for performing various tests on
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) applications and devices. It can make
several different tests, send the contents of a file, and interpret and
react on the responses. It supports (de-) registration with given contact
URIs and digest authentication.
Changes: A new option allows to add any header to the outgoing requests.
The variable replacement option now accepts any number of attribute value
pairs. Besides MD5 now SHA1 is support as digest authentication algorithm.
The password for authentication can be read from stdin to prevent password
disclosure in the process list. Fixed problems when executed as user root

System :: Operating System :: Linux Distributions :: CD-Based
About: Franki and Earlgrey Linux are small but usable Linux distributions
designed to demonstrate the full extent of STUBS, the Toolchain and
Utility Build Suite. STUBS is a set of configuration files and scripts
designed to build (and optionally employ) toolchains from just a list of
desired packages, and has scripts capable of downloading sources as
necessary beforehand. It is designed to both bootstrap and work within the
Franki Linux environment, requiring just kernel headers and working
make/gcc/binutils to do so.
Changes: This release introduces a new set of extensions ('Black Dragon',
for ncurses-based applications). Some minor bugs were fixed and URLs were
revised in both the stable and development configurations. The build
scripts for dnsmasq, libtool, man, nc6, ne, and shush were updated.

About: Yoltia is a computer program for editing image files. It provides
the functionality to do simple changes to a large number of pictures
quickly and very comfortably and exactly. It can read and write PNG, XPM,
BMP, and in most cases JPEG (depends on the Qt library). It can use and
preview custom compression levels for JPEG and PNG, create new pictures,
rotate pictures with 0.5 degree accuracy, perform color depth conversion
with usage of different dithers, manipulate the RGB and HSV values and
hotkey inverting, and perform resizing, cutting, and stretching. It has
many user orientated zoom modes. A multi-document interface, quick editing
of many pictures via browsing directories or self-defined file lists,
mirroring, clipboard and drag-and-drop-interaction, and a simple and fast
GUI with hotkey-orientated usage.
Changes: Default paths were set for open translation file dialogs
(/usr/share/yoltia/ and /usr/lib/qt3/translations/). "Save as..." is no
longer shown in the "Pictures" menu. Vertical mirroring can be done via
the hotkey Ctrl+M. The integrated language was changed from German to
English.
