[001] - Anthill3 Preview 6
by Urbancode (http://freshmeat.net/users/anthillpro/)
Thu, May 11th 2006 21:40

Software Development :: Build Tools
Software Development :: Quality Assurance
Software Development :: Testing

About: Anthill3 is a radically altered approach to build and application
lifecycle management. Anthill3 uses a concept called "Build Life" to not
only automate the build process, but to also automate promotions and
deployments. A central-server and agent architecture is at the core of
Anthill3. The server manages configuration and workflow. The agents run
the jobs powering distributed and multi-platform builds as well as
promotion and deployment to multiple environments (such as DEV, QA, UAT,
PROD, etc.).

[002] - Appia 3.1
by Nuno Carvalho (http://freshmeat.net/users/nunomrc/)
Thu, May 11th 2006 08:10

Adaptive Technologies
Scientific/Engineering
System :: Networking

About: Appia is a framework for network protocol composition that includes
a complete set of protocols that provide group communication and atomic
broadcast. It is extensible and can create channels that fit the user's
needs.

Changes: An optimistic sequencer based total order protocol that provides
optimistic assumptions about message delivery was added. Upon reception of
a message, it forwards that message to the application and afterward sends
notifications about message guaranties: SETO (estimated total order), when
the message is considered optimistically ordered; Regular, when the message
is ordered by the sequencer; Uniform, when the message is considered
uniform. The total order protocols were refactored. Several minor bugfixes
were removed. The javadoc information was updated.

[003] - BeleniX 0.4.3
by Moinak (http://freshmeat.net/users/moinakg/)
Thu, May 11th 2006 11:13

System :: Operating System

About: BeleniX is a new live CD distribution based on the version of
OpenSolaris that runs on x86 machines. It includes all of the OpenSolaris
components (core kernel, libraries, and utilities) and also includes
additional GNU/OSS software. BeleniX will ultimately become a full
OpenSolaris and GNU/OpenSolaris distribution.

Changes: Major performance improvements and fixes. Upgraded to the
OpenSolaris build 38. A new file sorting algorithm to process the DTrace
output, which resulted in significant reduction in bootup time. The
dependency of Xserver has been changed to wait for sshd to complete
loading, which also provides big savings in bootup time. Numerous bugs
have been fixed, including installer fixes. Digikam software has been
added to access digital cameras from KDE. The full screen KDE task
switcher, Kompose, has been added.

Thu, May 11th 2006 07:49

System :: Clustering/Distributed Networks
System :: Networking

About: Crossroads is a load balance and failover utility for TCP-based
services. It is a daemon program running in userspace and features
extensive configurability, polling of backends using "wakeup calls",
detailed status reporting, "hooks" for special actions when backend calls
fail, and more. It is service-independent; it is usable for HTTP(S), SSH,
SMTP, DNS, MySQL, etc.

[007] - CuteFlow 1.7.0
by Timo Haberkern (http://freshmeat.net/users/thaberkern/)
Thu, May 11th 2006 08:35

Communications
Communications :: Email
Information Management

About: CuteFlow is a Web-based document circulation tool. Users are able
to define "documents", which are sent step-by-step to every user in a
list. It provides an electronic method for doing internal document
circulations.

Changes: An installer was added. The configuration can be edited via the
Web interface. The period after which the circulation will be sent to the
substitute person can be changed to hours. Now you can choose the email
format (plain-text or html). The "Browserview Link" in email messages is
now multilingual. Restarting a circulation in the archive no longer causes
an active circulation which is still archived. Some debug messages were
removed. Layout differences between Mozilla and IE were fixed. Sort
problems were fixed.

Thu, May 11th 2006 13:46

Software Development :: Assemblers
Software Development :: Code Generators
Software Development :: Compilers

About: Neko is a high-level dynamically typed programming language. It can
be used as an embedded scripting language. It has been designed to provide
a common runtime for several different languages. Learning and using Neko
is very easy. You can easily extend the language with C libraries. You can

Runtime to compile, run, and access existing libraries. Neko is a good way
for language designers to focus on design and reuse a fast and
well-designed runtime, as well as existing libraries for accessing
filesystem, network, databases, XML, etc. It has a compiler and a virtual
machine. The virtual machine is very lightweight and well optimized. The
VM can be easily embedded into any application, and your libraries can be
accessed using the C foreign function interface.

Changes: Bugfixes, some minor API extensions, and customizable object
prototype serialization.

services from domain name registries, registrars, and resellers. It is an
object-oriented framework that can be easily extended to handle various
protocols (such as RRP, EPP, or custom protocols) and various transports
methods (such as TCP, TLS, SOAP, or email). It currently handles .EU, .SE,
PL, .WS, all RRP and EPP based registries (hence all gTLDs registries),
and .FR/.RE partially.

Changes: This release adds support for EPP poll messages and preliminary
support for .FR by email (creating domain names only). Some small bugfixes
are also included, especially for EURid, nameservers lists, and contacts'
phone number and fax. The socket transport handles alarms in a saner way.

rebooted independently and have root access, users, IP addresses, memory,
processes, files, applications, system libraries, and configuration files.
OpenVZ is a subset of Virtuozzo.

Changes: A fair CPU scheduler was added and mainstream security fixes (up
to 2.6.16.15) were applied. A few compilation and UBC accounting fixes
were made.

[036] - Pinot 0.47
by Fabrice Colin (http://freshmeat.net/users/colinf/)
Thu, May 11th 2006 23:52

About: Pinot is a metasearch tool built around the Xapian Information
Retrieval library, the language guessing functionality of libtextcat and
the GTKmm toolkit. It enables one to query search engines and display as
well as analyze and locally index the returned results. Supported sources
are search plugins, the Google SOAP API and Xapian indexes. Supported
document types include plain text, HTML, PDF, RTF, MS Word, XML,
OpenDocument/StarOffice, mbox, MP3, and Ogg Vorbis. Its goals are to make
Web search engines easily available to end users and to harness Xapian to
index the user's personal documents. Pinot is moving towards what Beagle
and Kat do, while still retaining a focus on metasearch.

Changes: The Google API engine is no longer unnecessarily picky about
queries' parameters. The state of engine channels is saved and restored.
Query terms are highlighted in the extract field. Editing the language of
documents is allowed; a subsequent update will use the given language to
stem terms. All programs have man pages and support --help and --version.
Some other minor changes were made.

About: Rule Set Based Access Control (RSBAC) is a Free Software security
extension for current Linux kernels. It is based on the Generalized
Framework for Access Control (GFAC) by Abrams and LaPadula and provides a
flexible system of access control based on several modules. All security
relevant system calls are extended by security enforcement code. This code
calls the central decision component, which in turn calls all active
decision modules and generates a combined decision. This decision is then
enforced by the system call extensions.

Changes: This version has been released for both kernels 2.4.32 and
2.6.16. This release has known problems with 2.4 kernels on powerpc.
kthread was fixed. dazuko on SMP was fixed. FF was fixed to allow file

[042] - Stream-2-Stream 1.0
by Jason Hooks (http://freshmeat.net/users/jhooks/)
Thu, May 11th 2006 08:38

Communications
Internet
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio

About: Stream-2-Stream (abbreviated "s2s" or "S2S") implements a streaming
protocol called multicast+. Multicast+ is more efficient and requires less
bandwidth than direct streaming (e.g. shoutcast/icecast). Stream-2-Stream
stations have no user limit, and stations can be set up without paying a
fortune for bandwidth. Stream-2-Stream saves bandwidth by passing streams
from one peer to another through multicast and unicast P2P, rather than
everyone getting a stream from one central server. Supported codecs are
MP3, NSV, AAC, and AAC+.

Changes: S2S protocol version 3 provides streaming through TCP, UDP, and
Multicast+. The number of listeners can be seen. The GUI mechanics were
fixed. Connecting was improved. LanPages were changed to multicast. Player
and Web ports are now switched for easy port forwarding. Public player
connections can now be toggled in the options menu. An XML file can be
specified with the -x option.

[045] - svninfo 0.6
by Achim D. Brucker (http://freshmeat.net/users/brucker/)
Thu, May 11th 2006 03:55

Software Development :: Version Control
Text Processing :: Markup :: TeX/LaTeX

About: svninfo is used to extract the revision and file information
provided by the Subversion revision control system. To present the
version information of a document, one needs to extract it from some kind
of text inserted by the revision control system. Subversion offers
therefore the Id keyword, which is expanded by the Subversion update
command and contains a lot of useful information. This information is
made available through this package.

Changes: This release adds special support for multi-file documents, i.e.,
\svnInfoMinRevision and \svnMaxRevision allows one to access the minimum
and maximum revision numbers of such a document. Using the new package
option "revrange", a short revision overview similar to svn's svnversion
command is generated. "\" characters are now allowed in expanded svn
keywords.
