Games/Entertainment :: Simulation

About: Bygfoot is a small and simple graphical football (a.k.a. soccer)
manager game featuring many international leagues and cups. You manage a
team from one such league: you form the team, buy and sell players, get
promoted or relegated, and of course try to be successful.

definitions were updated. A bug that prevented 1st league CPU teams from
growing stronger when the user became champion was fixed. Some
zenity-related errors were fixed in the bygfoot-update script. A bug that
led to a crash on AMD64-systems was fixed.

[003] - Cgiapp.class.php 2.0.0 (Development)
by Matthew Weier O'Phinney (http://freshmeat.net/users/weierophinney/)
Sun, Jun 4th 2006 23:18

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries
Software Development :: Libraries :: PHP Classes

About: Cgiapp.class.php is a port of CGI::Application to PHP. It utilizes
Smarty as its default templating engine, much as CGI::Application uses
HTML::Template, due to its prevalence and acceptance in the PHP community.
Due to PHP's built-in session support, it also adds two methods, s_param()
and s_delete(), to handle session parameters. A number of static methods
have also been included to facilitate error handling and array/hash
conversion.

Changes: This marks the first stable release of the Cgiapp2 series. The
2.x series of Cgiapp completes a PHP5 port of Cgiapp2. Important new
features include an extensive, powerful, and flexible callback system.
Template engines have now been moved to a plugin system, and Cgiapp2 ships
with Smarty, Savant2/3, and XSLT plugins. Extensive error and exception
handling was added. A simple, flexible sample front controller class was
added.

string interpolation, a powerful validation system, including automatic
type checking and conversion, repeated sections, default values,
preservation of comments and the order of keys and sections, and no
external dependencies.

Changes: This is a bugfix and minor feature enhancement release. It makes
exception handling cleaner and fixes a few minor bugs.

Security
Security :: Cryptography

About: py-bcrypt is a Python wrapper of OpenBSD's Blowfish password
hashing code, as described in "A Future-Adaptable Password Scheme" by
Niels Provos and David Mazières. This system hashes passwords using a
version of Bruce Schneier's Blowfish block cipher with modifications
designed to raise the cost of off-line password cracking and frustrate
fast hardware implementation. The computation cost of the algorithm
depends on a parameter, so it can be increased as computers get faster.

jpegtran). The ExifTool requirement was updated due to a new
implementation of WriteInfo(). The documentation has been expanded with a
new part in README. Windows, BUGS, and TAGS sections have been added to
the manual.

Games/Entertainment
Games/Entertainment :: Arcade

About: simpleJ emulates a simplified computer on your PC: a retro-style
video game console that lets you understand how a computer works and write
your own video game programs. The first microcomputers were quite simple.
They had a few kilobytes of memory and couldn't run large programs. Many
didn't even have an operating system. Yet they had something valuable:
understanding everything about their hardware and software was easy.
simpleJ aims to make this possible while running on modern PC hardware.

[041] - SportsTracker 2.0.0
by ssaring (http://freshmeat.net/users/ssaring/)
Sun, Jun 4th 2006 10:47

Database
Information Management :: Records Management

About: SportsTracker is an application for recording sporting activities.
It is not bound to a specific kind of sport, as categories can be created
for all sport types that are endurance related, such as cycling or
running. The main advantages are a good overview of the exercises and
easy creation of statistics for specific time ranges and sport types.
Users of heart rate monitors can organize the recorded data by attaching
them to the exercise entries.

Changes: PolarViewer has been completely integrated into SportsTracker
now. These projects are very closely related, so it was better to
integrate them. Installation and configuration is much simpler now (also
on Windows). There will be no stand-alone PolarViewer releases anymore.
The support for Polar RS200 monitors in the PolarViewer component has been
improved. The exercise files can now be downloaded using the rs200-decoder
tool.

Sun, Jun 4th 2006 17:17

Software Development
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries

About: VRaptor 2 is a Web-based MVC and IOC framework based on many
frameworks and ideas (Seam, Stripes, Webwork, Hibernate Annotations, etc).
It makes full use of Java 5 Annotations. It favors convention over
configuration, because configuration in XML/properties/annotations is
always easy to make mistakes and repetitive (aka copy and paste in many
places). This framework uses a more imperative approach, instead of having
many XML files to configure lifecycle and other properties. Most of the
settings go inside plain Java objects (POJO), so the team knows exactly
what is going on and where.

Changes: This release comes with Hibernate Validator support, a few
bugfixes, improvements in the automatic test generator, a default file
upload interceptor based on the Jakarta Commons file upload, and new
tests.
