[001] - 2E Programming Language 0.8.1
by Derek Pressnall (http://freshmeat.net/users/tchuladdiass/)
Mon, Dec 11th 2006 08:55
About: 2e is an experimental language designed to be as simple as
possible, but still allow for all the standard programming functions
(expression evaluation, flow control, functions, variables, and arrays,
etc). The language flow control is handled via a C style conditional
operator (expr ? expr2 : expr3) for if/else processing, and a variant
iterative conditional (expr ?? expr2 : expr3) for looping. Parentheses are
used for grouping throughout, and both built-in and user-defined functions
are supported. The language itself is referred to as 2e, while the
interpreter is called ee. The interpreter is designed to be used
stand-alone, and it can also be easily embedded within another
application.
Changes: Several new functions were added to the built-in function
library, including split() (for parsing text strings), getenv(), system(),
readline(), and setlen(). The ability to retrieve command line arguments
and to create various typed arrays was added. Previously, the default was
to load up only general-purpose arrays; now you can define integer,
character, or floating point arrays. The Web site has also been
overhauled, so that it includes a more complete language tutorial and
reference section.

About: Andy's PHP Knowledgebase is a database-driven knowledge base
management system. It features bookmark friendly URLs, easy search with
browsing by category, article submission, and a professional and
attractive interface. It is intended to be used to store, manage, and
update article content for a knowledge base, but is very customizable and
enables any number of creative uses.
Changes: This release includes improvements to the default look and feel,
with an improved experience for IE users and Firefox 2 on Mac OS X. Image
upload scripts have been removed, as have the links and link utility.

[003] - anyfs-tools 0.84.10
by unDEFER (http://freshmeat.net/users/undefer/)
Mon, Dec 11th 2006 11:10
System :: Filesystems
System :: Recovery Tools
About: anyfs-tools allows you to recover and convert filesystems while
using minimal extra disk space. Unlike other recovery tools, anyfs-tools
doesn't copy all the files found on other disks (or partitions), but only
saves information about the location of the file blocks to an external
inode table. After recovery, a user may mount the damaged filesystem with
anyfs and the external inode table and then interact with all recovered
files with any program.
Changes: Anysurrect not having an efficient I/O buffer was fixed. It is
more than twice as fast now. Some building bugs for Gentoo were fixed.

Mon, Dec 11th 2006 16:15
System :: Monitoring
Utilities
About: hobbitalarm aims to be a notification client for the Hobbit / Big
Brother monitor. It can be configured to execute commands on your local
desktop when an alert has been caught by the hobbit monitor. It receives
the information about the Hobbit state by polling the Hobbit / Big Brother
Web frontend on a configurable, regular basis.
Changes: This release is in a very early development state. Currently,
there is no build environment. On Linux it compiles with gcc, and for
Windows an OpenWatcomC Project is attached to the source code. The
resulting binaries, early documentation, and configuration examples are
bundled. It is tagged pre-alpha because essential functions, like process
detaching or (for Windows) system tray functionality, are not implemented
yet. Basic notification is working. Htaccess protected Hobbit / Big
Brother Web frontends cannot be reached because no authentication has been
implemented yet.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries
About: image_album generates HTML on-the-fly for the navigation of albums
of related images. It supports several different viewing modes appropriate
for different display sizes and connection speeds, and allows the viewing
of additional image info such as EXIF data. It uses CGI PATH_INFO-style
URLs (with no '?' characters) for spiderability by all search engines.
Changes: URLs now end in ".jpg/" rather than ".jpg" so that certain search
engines don't ignore the "one_file" and "all_files" pages by assuming that
they are image data. The options settings were changed to use a
pseudo-directory in the PATH_INFO rather than query parameters, so it's
possible to use robots.txt to keep search engines off redundant URLs. The
Image::Magick calls were updated due to their modified API.

[029] - Layer-7 Packet Classifier for Linux 2006-12-11 (Pattern
Definitions)
by Matthew Strait (http://freshmeat.net/users/quadong/)
Mon, Dec 11th 2006 10:53
Communications
Internet
System
About: L7-filter is a packet classifier for Netfilter that identifies
packets based on application layer (OSI layer 7) data. This means that it
is able to classify packets as HTTP, FTP, Gnucleus, Kazaa, etc.,
regardless of ports. It complements existing matches that classify based
on port numbers, packet length, TOS bits, and so on. Combined with Linux
QoS, it allows for full layer 7 packet shaping.
Changes: Improved patterns for valid certificate SSL and Battlefield 2.
The test suite has been extended to include use of the GNU library, which
is used in the new userspace version. There are other minor bugfixes and
updates.

[030] - Linux Layer7 Switching 0.1.0
by Alexandre Cassen (http://freshmeat.net/users/acassen/)
Mon, Dec 11th 2006 16:10
Internet :: Proxy Servers
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
System :: Networking
About: The main goal of Linux Layer7 Switching is to provide a fast
framework for Layer 7 switching. Layer 7 switching is driving a low-level
engine using networking design to speed up forwarding of the data stream.
The implementation in this project is split into a userspace daemon and a
low-level kernelspace forwarding engine. The userspace daemon is
responsible for scheduling and switching decisions. The kernelspace
forwarding engine is responsible for forwarding the stream and using a TCP
splicing scheme. TCP splicing is the postponement of the connection between
the client and the server in order to obtain sufficient information to make
a routing decision.

[031] - Linux Replicated High Availability Manager 1.2.4
by Simon Edwards (http://freshmeat.net/users/bongo44/)
Mon, Dec 11th 2006 08:38
System :: Clustering/Distributed Networks
About: The Linux Replicated High Availability Manager (Linuxha.net) allows
the creation of clusters for application high availability through data
replication. Currently, clusters are limited to two nodes, but multiple
applications can be hosted and failed-over between the nodes. The software
uses DRBD to provide the data replication facillity.
Changes: Several minor improvements were made, mainly concerning improved
network handling, both for IP address configuration for packages, pseudo
MONITOR IP support, and the additional "nossh" attribute. Several minor
bugs have been fixed, including one affecting certain fail-over scenarios.

Software Development :: Libraries
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
About: The VIF Lightweight Framework is an object-relational bridge to
store and retrieve data in relational database management systems (RDMS).
The framework's building blocks to access data are data object models (DOM
objects) and joined data object models (joined DOM objects). A DOM object
is used for read-write access to a database table. It encapsulates the
mapping of the object's attribute to the underlying table fields. A joined
DOM object encapsulates SQL SELECT commands of any complexity. With joined
DOM objects, it's possible to design involved data retrieval.
