Mon, Aug 14th 2006 10:49

Software Development :: Version Control

the Internet. It enables sets of distributed and loosely connected
repositories to define the components which are installed on a Linux
system. Rather than having a full distribution come from a single vendor,
it allows administrators and developers to branch a distribution, keeping
the pieces which fit their environment while grabbing components from
other repositories across the Internet.

Changes: Primarily bugfixes for unusual cases, plus mirror:// support for
the Comprehensive R Archive Network.

[012] - Decimail Webmail 3 alpha 8
by Phil Endecott (http://freshmeat.net/users/endecotp/)
Mon, Aug 14th 2006 16:53

Communications :: Email :: Email Clients (MUA)
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content

About: Decimail Webmail 3 is an email application written in Javascript.
It is almost entirely client-side, and so has the potential for a rich and
responsive user-interface. The server-side requirement is a Web server, a
simple IMAP-to-HTTP proxy, and any IMAP server; this should result in
lower server load than some CGI Webmail applications. The code is still
relatively new and is not yet suited to widespread deployment.

Changes: Drag-and-drop functionality has been added for moving messages
between mailboxes. You can try this out in the online demo.

Mon, Aug 14th 2006 10:51

Software Development :: Build Tools
Utilities

About: Flagpoll is a tool for developers to use meta-data files for
storing information on what is needed to compile their software. Think of
it as the rpm of software development. It provides developers with total
control over which packages, versions, architectures, et cetera that they
want to use meta-data from. Instead of specifying other packages' cflags
and ldflag manually, you can call `flagpoll mylib --cflags --ldflags` and
it will retrieve the flags for its package as well as its dependencies.

Changes: This release cleans up argument handling by informing the user of
invalid options passed in. The prefix is also exported by default, even
though it may not be set, which is just output ${prefix}. The --exists
option now returns yes/no depending on whether a configuration exists.

Internet
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content

About: Helma is a Web application framework for fast and efficient
scripting and serving of Web sites and Internet applications. Helma
employs JavaScript for its server-side scripting environment, removing the
need for compilation cycles and reducing development costs while giving you
instant access to leverage the whole wealth of Java libraries out there.
Helma offers simple and codeless mapping of application objects to
database tables. In addition, an embedded object-oriented database
performs automatic data persistence of unmapped objects.

Changes: Native HopObject methods are now easier to overwrite. HopObject
constructors aren't removed from the global scope anymore just because
they aren't referenced during global code compilation. For scripted Java
objects, getResource() and getResources() have been implemented. Improved
support for both PostgreSQL and MySQL databases. Improved
object/relational mapping. A file path issue on Mac OS X has been fixed.
This release adds a workaround for a shortcoming in Safari's ETag support,
and better error reporting. It updates Javamail to version 1.4, jakarta
commons-fileupload to 1.1.1, and jakarta commons-io to 1.2.

class is no longer part of the precision control interface. The IO_control
module was added. New division and square root algorithms were added. The
trigonometric routines were improved. The documentation was improved. Some
bugfixes were made.

Mon, Aug 14th 2006 13:52

Information Management :: Metadata/Semantic Models
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Browsers
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Indexing/Search

About: SRESI is a smart bookmark manager, with many interesting tricks
sadly bundled in a lousy interface. SRESI works with both the standard
hierarchical trees and the new and fashionable tagged bookmarks. It was
developed as a way to interface both representation systems. SRESI can use
Del.icio.us, Mozilla, Opera, and XBEL bookmarks, and handles a few more
exports besides. Directories and tags are used equivalently, and the final
hierarchies are inferred from actual tag use.

Changes: This is the first release with a GUI, in the form of PHP scripts.
They are good enough for private use, giving access to most of the CLI, but
not yet safe for a public server. The CLI allows for hint editing. Messages
can be sent as plain text or HTML. Saving as an archive keeps the current
structures by default. SRESI can dump and restore its complete working
state. A bug in Mozilla import was also papered over.

Security
Security :: Cryptography
System :: Networking

About: strongSwan is a complete IPsec and IKEv1 implementation for Linux
2.4 and 2.6 kernels. It interoperates with most other IPsec-based VPN
products. It is a descendant of the discontinued FreeS/WAN project. The
focus of the strongSwan project is on strong authentication mechanisms
using X.509 public key certificates and optional secure storage of private
keys on smartcards through a standardized PKCS#11 interface. A unique
feature is the use of X.509 attribute certificates to implement advanced
access control schemes based on group memberships.

Changes: By defining the USE_NAT_TRAVERSAL compile-time option,
segmentation faults in the eroute, klipsdebug, and other KLIPS-related
auxiliary functions were fixed. "sha" and "sha1" are now treated as
synonyms in the ike and esp algorithm configuration statements in
ipsec.conf.

(symlinks, devices, etc). It fixes a bug in the sync2cd_mounter.sh script
triggered by restoring an archive number greater than 7.

than static pages with other Web servers, while creating Web applications
is simple.
