[001] - AFPL Ghostscript 8.54
by Moritz Barsnick (http://freshmeat.net/users/barsnick/)
Sat, May 27th 2006 00:34

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

About: Ghostscript is a processor for PostScript and PDF files. It can
rasterize these files to a wide variety of printers, devices for screen
preview, and image file formats. Since applications tend to prepare pages
for printing in a high-level format such as PostScript, most Unix users
with low-level bitmap printers, such as inkjets, use GhostScript as part
of the printing process. In addition, Ghostscript is capable of converting
PostScript files, functionality comparable to Adobe Acrobat Distiller, but
on the command line. In addition, Ghostscript is used for file import and
viewing by a great many other applications, including xv, ImageMagick,
gimp, and xdvi. Several GUI wrappers for viewing PostScript and PDF files
exist, including GSview, ghostview, gv, ggv, and kghostview. This is far
from a comprehensive list.

Changes: This release introduces a compressed read-only filesystem
accessible from the interpreter. Support for the proprietary Luratech
JBIG2 and JPEG 2000 libraries was added. Third-party libraries such as
libpng, libjpeg, and zlib are now included in the source. A large number
of bugs were fixed. Several rendering improvements were introduced.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Indexing/Search
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
Text Processing :: Indexing

About: Apache Lucene is a high-performance, full-featured text search
engine library written entirely in Java. It is suitable for nearly any
application that requires full-text search, especially cross-platform.

Changes: This is mostly a bugfix and cleanup release from release 1.9.1.
Deprecated 1.x features have now been removed. Any code that compiles
against Lucene 1.9.1 without deprecation warnings should work without
further changes with any 2.x release.

[003] - cvtool 0.0.2
by Martin Lambers (http://freshmeat.net/users/marlam/)
Sat, May 27th 2006 23:21

Multimedia :: Graphics
Multimedia :: Video
Scientific/Engineering :: Image Recognition

About: Cvtool is a general-purpose computer vision tool. It works as a
filter by reading streams of images from standard input and writing
manipulated images and/or analysis results to standard output. Therefore,
complex analysis tasks can easily be realized in scripts. Many image and
video manipulation and analysis functions are included, as well as some
advanced computer vision techniques. This includes support for creating,
manipulating, and displaying stereoscopic 3D videos, advanced methods to
estimate optical flow, and three-dimensional (spatiotemporal) smoothing of
video streams.

Changes: A lot of new functionality was added. For example, layering,
drawing graphics and text, and Squared Euclidean Distance Transforms
(SEDT). Many cleanups were made and many bugs were fixed.

[004] - dBASE converter 0.9.0-alpha01 (Development)
by Bjoern Berg (http://freshmeat.net/users/rollinhand/)
Sat, May 27th 2006 00:36

About: dbf is an easy-to-use command line tool to show and convert the
content of dBASE III, IV, and 5.0 files, as well as of FoxBase and Visual
FoxPro. It reads xBASE-compatible databases and prints the content to the
screen or converts it to comma-separated (*.csv) files which can be opened
in Excel, StarOffice, and most other spread sheets. It can also be used to
show some statistics about the content.

Changes: Data in CSV output is now only surrounded by the enclosure
character if the data contains the separator character. The output of
numbers in SQL output was fixed (sometimes a 'NULL' preceeded the number).
A memory leak in sql.c was fixed. Exporting to dbase is now possible. New
--quiet, --start-record, --num-records, --nocreate, --tablename, and
--empty-str-is-null options were added. A --usecopy option that uses COPY
instead of INSERT statement in SQL output was added. - libdbf is now used
for dBASE file access. Speed was improved.

Collections can be exported to HTML, XML, SQL, and CSV or imported from
Ant Movie Catalog and DVD Profiler.

Changes: A Serbian translation has been added. A new feature is available
to update parts of the application. A bug was fixed with some Gtk2
versions.

[011] - JGraph Layout Pro 1.3.0.4
by bensond (http://freshmeat.net/users/BessyBoo/)
Sat, May 27th 2006 23:37

Scientific/Engineering
Scientific/Engineering :: Visualization
Software Development

About: JGraph Layout Pro is a high performance graph layout library for
JGraph that automatically positions your graph, diagram, or network in a
visually pleasing manner. Layout Pro provides flexibility and a simple
design, enabling you to use circular, tree, force-directed, and
hierarchical layouts with ease. Example uses are organisational charts,
workflow and process diagrams, call charts, network diagrams, UML tools,
and more. It comes with its own documentation and an example applet.

Changes: The parallel edge router now allows for edge promotion, so if a
vertex connected to a parallel edge is hidden, the parallel routing is
correctly applied to the promoted edge shown attached to the hidden cell's
parent. Labels on parallel edges are now correctly positioned over their
respective edges. Various parts of the two linear tree layouts have been
refactored into a common superclass. The cell ordering for up-down
oriented compact trees has been made the same as for standard trees.

[022] - scdbackup 0.8.6
by scdbackup (http://freshmeat.net/users/scdbackup/)
Sat, May 27th 2006 04:01

System :: Archiving :: Backup
Utilities

back up large amounts of data on one or more media, with no special tools
needed for reading the backup. It supports ISO9660 filesystems and afio
archives. Its special features are automatic division of data into
multiple volumes, verification of write success, and incremental backups.
An information script on each volume tells where a certain file may be
found. CDs get written via cdrecord. DVDs get written via growisofs.

Changes: Backup volumes are now composed alphabetically by default.
Incremental backup preparation has become much faster. An appendix about
preparations for disaster recovery has been added to the README file.

[023] - Sunifdef 1.0
by Mike Kinghan (http://freshmeat.net/users/imkinghan/)
Sat, May 27th 2006 02:27

Software Development
Software Development :: Build Tools

About: Sunifdef is a command line tool for simplifying the preprocessor
conditionals in C/C++ source code (#if and related directives) based on
the the user's chosen interpretation of the preprocessor symbols. It is a
more powerful successor to the FreeBSD 'unifdef' tool. Sunifdef is most
useful to developers of constantly evolving products with large code
bases, where preprocessor conditionals are used to configure the feature
sets, APIs or implementations of different releases. In these
environments, the code base steadily accumulates #ifdef-pollution as
transient configuration options become obselete. Sunifdef can largely
automate the recurrent task of purging redundant #if-logic from the code.

Changes: In this stable release, seven minor bugs were fixed. A test
framework and test set are now in the distribution. The command line
interface was revised slightly and deviates further from unifdef. The
option to nominate specified symbols such that lines in the scope of
#ifdef SYM or #ifndef SYM will not be be parsed is now also effective for
#if defined(SYM) or #if !defined(SYM). New and more satisfactory rules
have been adopted for applying the --constant option in resolving
preprocessor conditions that contain integer constants.

[024] - Synbak 1.0.3
by Ugo Viti (http://freshmeat.net/users/ugoviti/)
Sat, May 27th 2006 23:31

About: Synbak is an application designed to unify several backup methods.
It provides a powerful reporting system and a very simple interface for
configuration files. It can make backups using rsync (over the ssh, rsync,
smb, and cifs protocols), tar (tar, tar.gz, and tar.bz2) archives, tape
(even using multi-loader changer tapes), LDAP databases, MySQL databases,
CDR/CD-RW/DVR/DVD-RW, and more. It can make reports using email, HTML
pages, and RSS feeds. Developers can easily write new backup methods,
reports, and translations.

Changes: The rsync over SMB/CIFS protocol now should work better, since
the remote host check and mount functions were improved. Many code
cleanups were done.

[025] - Twisted Names 0.3.0
by Jean-Paul Calderone (http://freshmeat.net/users/kuran/)
Sat, May 27th 2006 23:59

Internet :: Name Service (DNS)
Software Development :: Libraries :: Python Modules

About: Twisted Names is both a domain name server as well as a client
resolver library. It comes with an "out of the box" nameserver that can
read most BIND-syntax zone files as well as a simple Python-based
configuration format. It can act as an authoritative server, perform zone
transfers from a master to act as a secondary, act as a caching
nameserver, or any combination of these. The client resolver library
provides functions for querying all commonly used record types as well as
a replacement for the blocking gethostbyname() function provided by the
Python stdlib socket module.

Changes: Errors in the markup used in API documentation have been fixed. A
bug where the DNS client would sometimes drop a response has been fixed. A
bug which prevented non-IN lookups from generating malformed queries has
been fixed.

Communications :: Chat
Communications :: Chat :: AOL Instant Messenger
Communications :: Chat :: ICQ

About: Twisted Words provides implementations of a handful of IM
protocols, including IRC, MSNP8, OSCAR, TOC, and Jabber. It also comes
with a multi-protocol server built around a few simple interfaces, the
goal of which is to facilitate implementations of novel servers, clients,

over IRC and PB and seeks out installed third-party plugins to support
other interfaces (for example, a Nevow LivePage-based Web interface).

Changes: Jabber support now recognizes stream and stanza level errors.
Initial support for TLS has been added. There is also a new IQ stanza
helper with Deferred support. Bugs in account registration have been
addressed. Xish has had various namespace issues resolved. A bug causing
username/groupname collisions in the multiprotocol chat server has been
