[001] - 3rd Edition Dungeons & Dragons Character Generator 3.0
by Slicer (http://freshmeat.net/users/slicer/)
Sat, Apr 8th 2006 23:32

Games/Entertainment :: Role-Playing

About: 3rd Edition Dungeons and Dragons Character Generator is an
HTML/JavaScript Web page that allows the user to quickly and easily create
new Dungeons and Dragons characters. The characters can be of any of the
eleven classes, any of the playable races, and may start at any level from
1 to 220. Generation requires some simple input, after which the character
is displayed on a basic character sheet. It allows you to select your
starting stats, add ability points, and pick skills, equipment, feats, and
spells. It runs on most operating systems with most modern browsers.

Changes: The FAQs have been updated with this release. The feats page now
also shows which feats are Fighter or Wizard bonus feats. No functionality
was changed; just the look and feel.

Sat, Apr 8th 2006 13:08

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries

About: Apache Cocoon is a Web development framework built around the
concepts of separation of concerns and component-based Web development.
Cocoon implements these concepts around the notion of "component
pipelines", each component on the pipeline specializing on a particular
operation. This makes it possible to use a Lego(tm)-like approach in
building Web solutions, hooking together components into pipelines without
any required programming.

Changes: This is another maintenance release, which fixes some bugs and
adds some minor new features.

[006] - ChkBk 1.5
by Stephen Kaiser (http://freshmeat.net/users/freesol29/)
Sat, Apr 8th 2006 13:13

Office/Business :: Financial

About: ChkBk is a simple, yet functional checkbook registry program. It
allows the user to keep an accurate record of checking and/or savings
account transactions, to view a full or partial transaction history, to
backup and restore the database from a file, and to print a list of
transactions in a nice, easy-to-read format.

Changes: A major bug was fixed to make ChkBk properly identify when a
check number has already been used. The ability to search databases for
specific transactions has been added. Deposit and withdrawal menus now
automagically fill in decimal places as zeros when none is entered for
amount and fee fields. The user can now type "h" in any menu field to
bring up the help. Various minor bugs have been fixed and screen output
has been cleaned up. A minor adjustment was made to smooth out transition
from balance menu. Various minor installer bugs have been fixed, including
most Cygwin install problems.

[007] - Construct 1.20
by ganges master (http://freshmeat.net/users/gangesmaster/)
Sat, Apr 8th 2006 01:10

Software Development :: Libraries :: Python Modules

About: Construct is a Python library for declaratively defining arbitrary
data structures, called "constructs". These constructs can both parse data
into an object or build an object into data. Constructs work at the
bit-level, so there are no issues with byte-alignment. It supports fields,
structs, unions, and repeaters; adapters and validators; switches,
pointers, and other meta-constructs, like TLVs. Many primitives are
provided, as well as an "inventory" of ready-made protocols and file
format parsers.

Changes: Formatted, Float32/64 (both parsing and building), and
FlagsAdapter were added. LV, PascalString, and Flag were improved. The
utils package and PascalStringAdapter were removed.

[008] - cryptmount 0.4
by rwpenney (http://freshmeat.net/users/rwpenney/)
Sat, Apr 8th 2006 13:03

Security :: Cryptography
System :: Filesystems

About: cryptmount allows any user to access encrypted filing systems on
demand under GNU/Linux systems running a 2.6-series kernel via the
device-mapper infrastructure. After initial configuration by the
superuser, an ordinary user can mount or unmount filesystems managed by
cryptmount solely by providing the decryption password, with any system
devices needed to access the filing system being configured automatically.
A wide variety of encryption schemes (provided by the kernel and OpenSSL
library) can be used to protect both the filing system and the access key.
The protected filing systems can reside in either ordinary files or disk
partitions.

Changes: Facilities for automatic filesystem checking (via fsck) were
added. Support for unprotected encryption keys (e.g. stored on USB flash
disk) was added. Options were added for delegating (un)mounting to
/bin/mount, rather than the system call. Methods for restricting
(un)mounting certain filesystems to superuser-only were added.

[010] - debian-multimirror 2.5
by Pedro Larroy (http://freshmeat.net/users/pedro_larroy/)
Sat, Apr 8th 2006 01:10

Internet
System :: Archiving :: Mirroring

About: debian-multimirror is a tool that eases and automates the creation
and maintenance of custom Debian mirrors by mirroring only what you need.
You can choose what packages to mirror, and include or exclude them based
in regular expressions. It uses parallel programming to exploit redundancy
between mirrors and download from several mirrors at the same time for best
performance and less mirror load. A custom algorithm is used to select a
consistent set of packages, and out of sync or even broken mirrors can
still be used. SHA1 and MD5 package information is used to assure data
integrity. It uses an XML file for configuration of the local mirror, and
writes the correspondent "Package" files after finishing mirroring.

Changes: There is now support for signing Release files with gpg.

number of database systems. Embperl has several features especially useful
for creating HTML, including dynamic tables, formfield-processing,
escaping/unescaping, session handling, and more. Embperl is a server-side
tool, which means that it's browser-independent. It can run in various
ways: under mod_perl, as a CGI script, or offline.

Changes: Beside some small fixes, this release adds support for Apache 2.2
and a dump meta command which simplifies debugging.

consistent abstract model and the same GUI for different firewall
platforms. It currently supports iptables, ipfilter, ipfw, OpenBSD pf,
Cisco PIX, and FWSM.

Changes: This is a bugfix release. It fixes a bug that caused the firewall
script to break during transfer to the firewall if any of the rule or
object comments used non-English UTF-8 characters. The generated firewall
script will properly load iptables modules on 2.6 kernels. A few other
minor bugs have been fixed. The code compiles with g++ 4.1.

Communications
Information Management :: Metadata/Semantic Models
Internet

About: Morla is an editor of RDF documents that allows you to manage more
RDF documents simultaneously, visualize graphs, and use templates for
quick writing. You can import RDFS documents and use their content to
write new RDF triples. Templates are also RDF documents, and they make
Morla easily personalizable and expandable. You can also use Morla as an
RDF navigator, browsing the RDF documents present on the Internet exactly
as you are used to doing with normal browsers.

Changes: This release added gettext support and translations to Italian
and English. Deprecated GTK+ and GLib features are no longer used.

[031] - msort 8.20
by Bill Poser (http://freshmeat.net/users/billposer/)
Sat, Apr 8th 2006 13:15

Text Processing
Text Processing :: Linguistic
Utilities

About: Msort is a program for sorting files in sophisticated ways. Records
need not be single lines. Key fields may be selected by position, tag, or
character range. For each key, distinct exclusions, multigraphs,
substitutions, and a sort order may be defined. Comparisons may be
lexicographic, numeric, numeric string, hybrid, random, by string length,
angle, date, time, or ISO8601 timestamp. Optional keys are supported.
Msort uses the Unicode character set and provides full Unicode
case-folding. The basic program has a somewhat complex command line
interface, but may be driven by an optional GUI.

Changes: On systems using glibc, it is now possible to specify that
comparisons on a particular key are to follow the collation rules for a
locale rather than supplying one's own sort order definition. A bug that
prevented multigraph definitions from affecting string length has been
fixed.

[033] - Nuface 1.0.1
by Vincent Deffontaines (http://freshmeat.net/users/gryzor/)
Sat, Apr 8th 2006 13:05

Security
System :: Networking :: Firewalls

About: Nuface is a Web-based administration tool that generates Edenwall,
NuFW, or simple Netfilter firewall rules. It features a high level
abstraction on the security policy set by the administrator, and works
internally on an XML data scheme. Its philosophy is to let you agglomerate
subjects, resources, or protocols into meta-objects, and use those meta
objects to generate ACLs, which are then interpreted as netfilter rules by
Nupyf, the internal XML parser. This tool may easily be extended to support
firewall implementations other than Netfilter.

Changes: A small bug was fixed in the "quick save and apply" feature,
which prevented it from working if the session hadn't been saved before.

Office/Business :: Financial :: Accounting

About: OTS is an easy program for calculating personal income tax form
entries and taxes-owed or refund due. It handles forms such as
US-Fed-1040, with forms A, B, C, D, AMT worksheets, and state income
taxes, as well as Canada and UK income taxes.

Changes: A convenient pull-down menu was added to the GUI for selecting
filing status. A quit-warning pop-up was added to avoid accidental exits.
A bug in the comment editor was fixed. The GUI was made to tolerate a
wider range of file name options. The graphical frontend for OTS tax
solver programs is optional but convenient for entry and editing of tax
data, and calculation of taxes on all platforms. OTS can always be used in
pure text mode with your favorite editor.

[043] - RPM 4.4.6 (Development)
by Jeff Johnson (http://freshmeat.net/users/n3npq/)
Sat, Apr 8th 2006 23:24

System :: Archiving :: Packaging

About: The RPM Package Manager (RPM) is a powerful command line driven
package management system capable of installing, uninstalling, verifying,
querying, and updating software packages. Each software package consists
of an archive of files along with information about the package like its
version, a description, etc. It also includes the RPM C library and header
files. These development files will simplify the process of writing
programs which manipulate RPM packages and databases and are intended to
make it easier to create graphical package managers or any other tools
that need an intimate knowledge of RPM packages in order to function.

Changes: Package erasures can be ordered as well as installs. Support was
added for SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, RIPEMD-160, and RIPEMD-128. Support
for tar payloads was added. A change to file fingerprints that broke disk
space checking and led to certain files being removed incorrectly was
reverted. File integrity digests were paramterized so that distributions
can choose a digest appropriate to their security needs.

[045] - sharehound 1.1.0 alpha
by artemv (http://freshmeat.net/users/artemv/)
Sat, Apr 8th 2006 23:30

Communications :: File Sharing
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Indexing/Search

About: Sharehound is a file systems indexer and Google-like searcher. It
currently supports SMB file shares (i.e. MS Windows-based network shares
are supported). The Web UI is used for search and crawl monitoring. Files
and directories are indexed and searched by their paths and some other
external attributes, not contents. Historical data (deleted files and
offline hosts information) is indexed, which allows you to have
full-fledged RSS notifications about added, changed, and deleted files in
search results.

Changes: This release brings back sorting, which was switched off in
v1.0.9alpha. search.properties now have a new sorting.limit property (set
to 10000). Previously, this was specified in JSP. A duplicate paging
header was removed for the case when all search results fit on one page.

[048] - Spotter 2.1.10
by Ben Crowell (http://freshmeat.net/users/bcrowell/)
Sat, Apr 8th 2006 23:30

Education :: Computer Aided Instruction (CAI)

About: Spotter is software that can check students' answers to symbolic
and numerical problems in math and science. It recognizes an answer
regardless of the form it's in, and the instructor can put in helpful
hints as responses to frequently-occurring mistakes. Symbolic answers can
be input in a notation closely resembling normal human math notation
(e.g., xy rather than x*y, and sin x instead of sin(x)). Spotter runs as a
Perl CGI application on a Web server; the student doesn't need to install
any software.

Changes: There is now some simple protection against denial of service
attacks and abuse by rude bots.

[049] - Squirrel Shell 0.9b
by Dinosaur (http://freshmeat.net/users/dinosaur2006/)
Sat, Apr 8th 2006 13:15

System :: Shells

About: Squirrel Shell is a cross-platform alternative to system shells
like bash in *nix and command.com (cmd.exe) in MS Windows. It is based on
a powerful scripting language named "Squirrel".

Changes: In Windows, run() couldn't execute programs from the "PATH"
environment variable. The copy() function in the *nix version of the shell
now works correctly. move() now uses the native OS's file moving function
instead of the old copy-and-delete method. This should resolve problems
when there's no free space for another instance of the file.

[050] - Systrace 1.6c
by Niels Provos (http://freshmeat.net/users/nielsprovos/)
Sat, Apr 8th 2006 23:29

Security

About: Systrace enforces system call policies for applications by
constraining the application's access to the system. The policy is
generated interactively. Operations not covered by the policy raise an
alarm, allowing the user to refine the currently configured policy. After
a policy has been sufficiently constructed, further alarms often indicate
security problems. Policies can also be generated automatically for
sandboxing purposes.

Changes: Compatibility with 2.4 kernels when rewriting old system calls
was fixed. Translations were added for a few more system calls like mmap
and mprotect.

by Nonoo (http://freshmeat.net/users/Nonoo/)
Sat, Apr 8th 2006 11:52

Communications :: Chat :: Internet Relay Chat
Communications :: WAP

About: wapircgw allows a WAP-capable mobile phone to easily connect to IRC
networks. The only thing needed is a Linux box with an Internet connection
to act as a gateway between the phone and IRC networks. Users can join
multiple channels and talk to others privately just like when using a real
IRC client. It consists of 2 cooperative pieces: wapircphp and wapircd.
wapircd is the daemon that handles connections to IRC networks and
requests from wapircphp. wapircphp generates WML Web pages that can be
viewed with a mobile phone's WAP browser.

Changes: Autotools enhancements were made. The program can now be compiled
on Solaris and Cygwin. When the names list was replied in more than one
line from the server, it displayed only the last line; this has been
fixed.

[055] - XCC 0.6.0
by Evgeny Stambulchik (http://freshmeat.net/users/fnevgeny/)
Sat, Apr 8th 2006 11:59

Software Development :: Code Generators
Text Processing :: Markup :: XML

About: XCC is a tool for building XML format parsers. One way to describe
what XCC does is by analogy with a generic parser generator, e.g. yacc or
bison. Yacc needs a lexical analyzer to function properly, and that
lexical analyzer is usually built with (f)lex. In the XML world, there are
a few packages which fill in the role of lex (expat and libxml are the most
known), but the high-level grammar parsing is usually done by a
hand-written code; writing such a parser is a tedious and error-prone
task. XCC was created to help developers in writing reliable
easy-to-understood parsers for handling complex XML-based grammars.

Changes: This release features an autotoolized build process, provides
configurations for several packaging schemes, a man page, and a few minor
fixes.

Sat, Apr 8th 2006 23:20

System
Utilities

About: xjobs runs several jobs in parallel and limits the number of jobs
running at once so that every processor of the machine is busy, but not
overloaded. A batch of long-running processes invoked from the shell are
normally executed one after another, no matter how many processors are
available. xjobs allows batching those jobs while still keeping the
machine busy. The interface of xjobs is similar to that of xargs.
