hash tables, and a binary tree structure, with list and vector based
versions available for deque, stack, and queue.
Changes: More documentation was added to the code, and some fast generic
comparison functions were added for built-in data types.

using AI/A-Life techniques which doesn't have a predefined story. It is
the Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Life server/client used by the
WorldForge project.

administrator's command-line client no longer hangs if its terminal window
changes size. The command-line client now has a dynamic prompt to indicate
the server being accessed and the user logged in. Errors in rule scripts
are now sure to cause a Python exception rather than being logged to the
server error log. A bug has been fixed that made it easy for scripts to
accidentally cause an object to be set to a corrupted orientation.
Numerous performance improvements have been made to the core C++ code. A
huge number of minor bugs have been fixed.

by Richard (http://freshmeat.net/users/rscheltema/)
Thu, Aug 24th 2006 03:59
About: DomSax is an implementation of an XML parser based on the standard
Document Object Model principle (and Sun's implementation). Based on the
fact that most XML documents contain repeated blocks, the parser creates a
complete document for each repeating block with the document root being the
start element of the repeating block. This allows the programmer to keep
the code clean and the memory consumption within bounds.

rotated, translated, and scaled (all done with the mouse). The model is
lighted by multiple light sources. Viewpoints can be saved.
Changes: The release includes a port to Qt4, a major update to the Qt3
source code, and the removal of LibJpeg for image reading, using the Qt
image reading capabilities instead.

Thu, Aug 24th 2006 14:28
Communications
Communications :: BBS
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: Message Boards
About: Blursoft MetaForum utilizes AJAX to generate a unique forum
experience. Threads and posts auto-update in real time, with no refreshing
required. User-based moderation ensures only the most interesting topics
emerge above your viewing threshold, and private threads invite multiple
users to engage in a private conversation. Complete with advanced quoting
mechanisms, CSS based templates, and statistically normalized user
rankings, MetaForum is a fresh, fast, efficient, and completely new
perspective on forums and message boards.
Changes: Creating new threads automatically selects the channel you were
viewing. The channel list on the new thread page is no longer a pull down,
but a nested radio list. DELETE functionality for threads has been moved
into a post form on the edit thread page. Post flood protection has been
enabled, limiting people to waiting 15 seconds before posting again,
complete with AJAX timeout and lockout on reply boxes. Editing a thread's
body also updates the first post of the thread accordingly. Several
bugfixes.

Education
Internet
About: Online Grades is a program that allows K-12+ student grades to be
posted onto a dynamic Web site. Online Grades is not a Web-based
gradebook. Instead, it accepts grade export information from several
popular gradebook software programs (such as Easy Grade Pro, Gradekeeper,
Misty City's Grade Machine, and PGGP) and places the grade information
online securely. Online Grades was originally based on the SourceForge
project Basmati, and backward compatibility has been maintained.
Changes: A drop-down list for choosing a school is now offered at login.
Multiple Admin Interface tools were added for viewing, deleting, editing,
exporting class, student, teacher, and parent data. This version requires
MySQL version 4.1.x or later. New documentation can be found online at

Communications :: Email
Communications :: Email :: Post-Office
Communications :: Email :: Post-Office :: IMAP
About: Openmailadmin is a little administration interface to every
complete IMAP mail server daemon. It supports every feature IMAP provides,
and fits in most MTA configurations. A key feature is the non-standard,
generic administration hierarchy which not only seperates "normal users"
from "administrators", but enables the mailserver-master to create
instances between them. You will be able to let other users create their
own sub-users and thus either share a single mail server between different
organizations or project your company's employee structure. It excels with
features such as regex addresses and folder ACL management.
