[002] - amforth 0.8
by Matthias Trute (http://freshmeat.net/users/mtrute/)
Thu, Dec 7th 2006 11:28

Software Development :: Embedded Systems

About: amforth is a distribution of Forth running on the AVR ATmega
microcontroller. Once put into flash, it needs only a serial connection to
the host computer. New words are compiled directly into flash, thus
extending the dictionary immediately. It is ans94 Forth oriented with some
minor exclusions and a few words from the extension word sets. It is
written in assembly language and Forth itself. The main development uses
ATmega8 and ATmega32 controllers; other ATmega controllers should work
with small adjustments.

Changes: Support for the create/does> word pair and user area variables
has been added. A bug in +loop for negative increments has been fixed, and
there are some internal changes.

Thu, Dec 7th 2006 15:18

Internet :: File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
Software Development :: Libraries
System :: Logging

About: MissingH is a library of all sorts of utility functions for Haskell
programmers. It is written in pure Haskell and thus should be extremely
portable and easy to use. It also has no prerequisites save those that are
commonly included with Haskell compilers. Highlights of MissingH include a
full logging infrastructure, printf() implementations, various string and
I/O utilities, a FTP client library, and more.

Changes: Major API changes are occurring in this release, which is the
first to begin implementing the MissingH transition plan that has renamed
MissingH modules and is seeing some of them split off into separate
packages.

[030] - mpiomon 0.5.1
by simix (http://freshmeat.net/users/simix/)
Thu, Dec 7th 2006 06:35

System :: Monitoring

About: Mpiomon is a shell script that runs as a daemon and monitors all DM
(device mapper) MPIO paths. It starts to beep when a path fails. Every
event also triggers the email alert mechanism, which sends mail to one or
more persons with the details of what's going on.

Changes: While mpiomon needs to run as root, mpiomon status
[failed|active] can now also be run as a non-root user. That is needed for
integrating mpiomon into monitoring systems like Nagios, Zabbix, and
others. The code has also been cleaned up to share more code with its
sister project raidmon.

[036] - PHP_Application 0.3b
by Tereshchenko Andrey (http://freshmeat.net/users/Terechenko/)
Thu, Dec 7th 2006 11:24

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Software Development :: Libraries
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks

About: PHP_Application is a platform for the development of event-driven
applications in which two mechanisms of distribution of events for two
levels of abstraction accordingly are realized. The first level are
objects and their events; the second, the application and its events. The
mechanism of distribution of events of the applications supports
distribution of the directed and broadcasting events, and also provides
synchronous or asynchronous processing events. The structure of the
application represents a hierarchy of objects with various levels of
abstraction. Functionality of the application is completely defined by a
set of the objects included in the application and interaction between
them, i.e. a stream of events. The structure of the application allows you
to operate a stream of events extending downwards on hierarchy of objects.

Changes: Support for Aspect-Oriented programming has been added, the
rendering system has been refactored, many new classes hve been added,
there are new examples and the documentation, and many bugs have been
corrected.

[060] - xSite 0.1
by Andras Horvath (http://freshmeat.net/users/raas123/)
Thu, Dec 7th 2006 06:54

Internet :: WWW/HTTP

About: xSite generates static XHTML and CSS Web albums from image
directories, making use of JPEG/EXIF comments in the images instead of
external databases. It is not a photo management tool by itself, so must
use something else for tagging, editing, and organizing your images. The
project's goals are simplicity, ease of use, and standards compliance in
the output.

Changes: This initial release is fully functional.

[063] - ZDT 0.6.1

Education

About: The ZDT (Zhongwen Development Tool) is a program written to help
users study Mandarin Chinese. Users can create their own word lists and
quiz themselves using three different flashcard modes. There is also a
dictionary that can be used to search through the built in CEDICT (and
optional Adso) databases. Users can input Chinese characters and get the
associated pinyin and English definitions through the Annotation function.
This makes it convenient to read blocks of Chinese text. The program is
built on top of the Eclipse RCP platform, which allows it to be extendable
through its plugin architecture. It runs on Linux, OS X, and Windows
platforms.

Changes: An import bug with the "use definitions from database" option was
fixed. entries with more than one row selected can now be copied and
deleted. Supermemo export now exports required ID field.
