stories, tasks, and bugs. It is focused on simplicity and practicality.
Its interface is designed to be useful specifically for software
developers on small development teams with rapidly-changing priorities and
requirements. Its primary interface for developers is geared toward
availability, speed, and purpose. It is flexible and minimalistic with
respect to the data that is required for records. It is designed to be
compatible with agile development methodologies, particularly Extreme
Programming.
Changes: Attachment support has now been added. Issues can have files
attached. Files can be dragged and dropped to and from the desktop or file
manager. The file dialog can also be used to browse to load or save

About: Apache XML Graphics Commons is a library that consists of several
reusable components used by Apache Batik and Apache FOP. Many of these
components can easily be used separately outside the domains of SVG and
XSL-FO. You will find components such as a PDF library, an RTF library,
Graphics2D implementations that let you generate PDF and PostScript files,
and much more.
Changes: The ImageWriter abstraction now supports the writing of
multi-page formats like TIFF. This uses the Image I/O API. A default
implementation was provided for AbstractGraphics2D.drawText(ACI, float,
float) so that PSGraphics2D supports painting of text using the
AttributedCharacterIterator. Various fixes and improvements were made in
the ImageWriter abstraction. A problem where the generation of the
PostScript setdash command was assuming that only integer values can be
used was fixed.

[010] - Construct 2.00 RC1
by ganges master (http://freshmeat.net/users/gangesmaster/)
Sat, Dec 23rd 2006 08:46
Software Development :: Libraries :: Python Modules
System :: Networking
System :: Networking :: Monitoring
About: Construct is a Python library for declaratively defined data
structures, called "constructs". These constructs can both parse data into
an object and build an object into data. Constructs handle fields of either
byte or bit granularity, structs, unions, sequences, repeaters, adapters,
validators, switching, pointers, on-demand (lazy) parsing, and many more.
The library defines a large number of primitive constructs, as well a
large inventory of file formats and network protocols.
Changes: Construct2 is a rewrite of the library, making it faster and much
slimmer. The library is now byte-oriented instead of bit-oriented, so it
uses eight times less memory. It can parse files directly from the disk.
Meta constructs now use lambda instead of eval. Textual processing to some
extent (context free grammar) was added. On-demand parsing was added.
Thorough unit tests were added. A full tutorial was written.

[029] - nss-ldapd 0.1
by Arthur (http://freshmeat.net/users/tiearthur/)
Sat, Dec 23rd 2006 13:28
System :: Networking :: LDAP
System :: Systems Administration
About: nss-ldapd is a (glibc) NSS module for doing name lookups to an LDAP
server. This module allows retrieval of information about Unix accounts,
groups, hosts, and other information from an LDAP directory. It is a fork
from the nss_ldap module to do some architectural changes. This
implementation splits the functionality into this NSS part and a local
daemon to do the lookups. This works around a number of problems in the
original implementation.
Changes: This release should be mostly usable but has not undergone enough
testing yet to be used in production environments. A lot of code cleanups
were done and a lot of dead compatibility code has been removed (about 25%
of all code). This release drops support for non-Linux systems for now. The
build scripts were simplified, test code has been rewritten, and most
documentation has been rewritten.

Security
System :: Networking :: Firewalls
About: NuFW is an authentication firewall suite: the gateway authorizes a
packet depending on which remote user has sent it. It can also set quality
of service on a per-user basis and log user activities into a SQL database.

directory and be the key of a Single Sign On solution.
Changes: This release mainly fixes some improper logs in nuauth and
improves the behavior of pam_nufw and nutcpc.

[036] - Port Scan Attack Detector 2.0.2
by Michael Rash (http://freshmeat.net/users/michaelrash/)
Sat, Dec 23rd 2006 09:30
System :: Networking :: Firewalls
System :: Networking :: Monitoring
About: The Port Scan Attack Detector (psad) is a collection of three
system daemons that are designed to work with the Linux Netfilter
firewalling code to detect port scans and other suspect traffic. It
features a set of highly configurable danger thresholds (with sensible
defaults), verbose alert messages, email alerting, DShield reporting, and
automatic blocking of offending IP addresses. Psad incorporates many of
the packet signatures included in Snort to detect various kinds of
suspicious scans, and implements the same passive OS fingerprinting
algorithm used by p0f.
Changes: The ability to download the latest signatures from cipherdyne.org
in install.pl was added. The cd_rpmbuilder script was added to make it easy
to build RPMs out of CipherDyne projects by automatically downloading the
project .tar.gz and .spec files from http://www.cipherdyne.org/.
MIN_DANGER_LEVEL was added to allow all alerts and /var/log/psad/IP
tracking to be disabled unless an attacker reaches at least this danger
level. A bug in which elements of the connected_subnets_cidr array were
not properly included was fixed. A bug was fixed so that more than
TOP_IP_LOG_THRESHOLD IP addresses are not printed in the top attackers
section.

of RSCDS. This release adds support for the LOCK, UNLOCK, and PROPPATCH
methods, a translation to Dutch, and new CSS for the admin pages. The
freebusy code is substantially improved, and the free-busy-query variant
of the REPORT method is also implemented.
