[001] - 2E Programming Language 0.8.2
by Derek Pressnall (http://freshmeat.net/users/tchuladdiass/)
Tue, Dec 26th 2006 10:28
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: This release of the ee interpreter includes several new built-in
string handling functions (strcpy, strcat, strins, printf, sprintf,
fprintf, and strmatch). This should help make 2e more useful as a general
purpose scripting language. Bitwise operators have been added (bitwise
AND, OR, NOT, XOR, shift left, and shift right), and are similar to the C
equivilants. Finally, the operator handler code has been overhauled, which
results in a 350% to 500% increase in code execution performance.

[002] - 4Suite XML 1.0.2
by Mike Brown (http://freshmeat.net/users/mjbrown/)
Tue, Dec 26th 2006 22:34
Text Processing :: Markup :: DocBook
Text Processing :: Markup :: HTML/XHTML
Text Processing :: Markup :: XML
About: 4Suite XML is a Python-based toolkit for XML application
development. It features a library of integrated tools for XML processing,
implementing open technologies such as DOM, SAX, XPath, XSLT, XInclude,
XPointer, XLink, XUpdate, RELAX NG, and XML/SGML Catalogs. The RDF and
Repository components of 4Suite are separate packages that must be
installed separately, on top of 4Suite XML.
Changes: Upgrading is recommended from all previous versions of 4Suite
XML. Bugfixes since 1.0.1 include a fix for a longstanding bug affecting
XPath comparison ops between a node-set and a boolean; better multiple
interpreter support (which should help with mod_python); a plugged memory
leak in Saxlette; a bugfix affecting all extension functions in
XPath/XSLT; elimination of a build error when Python is configured with
"--enable-shared"; and fixed interaction between xi:include and
xsl:strip-elements.

[003] - ACL Policy Daemon for Postfix 0.60
by Miguel Filho (http://freshmeat.net/users/miguelfilho/)
Tue, Dec 26th 2006 22:40
Communications :: Email :: Mail Transport Agents
System :: Systems Administration
About: ACL Policy Daemon is a program that communicates with the Postfix
MTA using the Policy Delegation Protocol to implement an ACL (Access
Control List) system, making it very easy to improve and create controls
for your email traffic. It can verify SPF records, and greylisting
support is planned.
Changes: This release brings the new MySQL engine. Another nice new
feature is the complete new logging system, which will bring a lot of
power for customizing log messages, and the apolicyd-admin program, that
helps you administer the database. The "-d" option was removed. For
debugging, see apolicy.conf. A bug which was triggered when the value of a
client_address ACL is invalid was fixed. This bug caused the program to
exit without showing any error.

Tue, Dec 26th 2006 15:05
Communications
Internet
Security
About: Charon simplifies reselling Internet access via WiFi access point.
It installs onto a Linksys WiFi access point (or similar Linux device) and
manages automatic price and access negotiation with local wireless
customers, charging them via the mikolaj.cx micropayment system. Deposits
are accepted via either cash or credit card. It will ultimately provide
secure and fraud-resistant access by utilizing cash-like settlement,
reputation tracking, and PKI-based non-repudiable contracts, to protect
both the end-user and the access provider.
Changes: Cash prepayment support: prospective users can now pay with
either cash or a credit card, at the option of the provider. Funds are
transferred direct into their mikolaj.cx account and can be used at any
Charon hotspot. Real-time balance query and account transaction history
for the provider are now available from the administrative Web pages.
PayPal's Akamaized IP addresses are now detected and added to the firewall
at every upstream reconnect, which should make Charon's credit card
payments usable out of the box anywhere in the world.

future release. Font sets are now supported and automatically created when
a font is selected. Recent X11 colors were added to Emacs.clr (but you must
remove ~/Library/Colors/Emacs.clr to pick it up). ns-option-modifier,
ns-control-modifier, and ns-function-modifier customization variables were
added. The menus were updated to Emacs 21+ conventions. The right mouse
button now generates mouse-3 events. Various bugfixes and rendering
improvements were made.

[015] - Happy Camel 1-alpha6
by Pieter Edelman (http://freshmeat.net/users/pedelman/)
Tue, Dec 26th 2006 06:02
Multimedia :: Graphics
Scientific/Engineering :: Geographical
About: Happy Camel is intended to combine your digital camera with your
GPS device. You feed it a list of digital photos and a tracklog, and it
figures out where these images were taken, embeds this position in the
EXIF-data, and creates a Google Earth file with the photos at the right
positions along the tracklog.
Changes: The modules are now split over several files, the user now has to
explicitly tell what to do. Happy Camel should be more conscious about
time; if the tracklog is in UTC, it assumes it should be converted to the
system time zone and with DST status. The remaining part of the time
difference between the camera and GPS needs still to be set, but a
calibration picture can be used for this. Not all command-line options
have a single letter anymore. Finally, Happy Camel now uses distutils to
distribute itself.

Text Processing :: Filters
About: HTML Purifier is PHP software for HTML filtering. It is an
alternative to BBCode or other obscure custom markup languages. It will
not only remove all malicious code (XSS), but will also make sure the HTML
is standards compliant.
Changes: This release fixes a typo in AttrDef/Lang.php that could result
in a fatal error. You can now pass an array of configuration values rather
than a configuration object to the HTMLPurifier object (the install
documentation hasn't been updated yet, unfortunately). You can now access
the context object with the member variable $context. There is now a
purifyArray() function that lets you mass purify an array of strings.

Tue, Dec 26th 2006 07:57
Scientific/Engineering
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
System :: Clustering/Distributed Networks
About: JPPF is a computational grid framework for Java focused on
performance and ease of use. It provides a set of tools and APIs to enable
the parallelization of CPU intensive applications, and distribute their
execution over a network of heterogenous nodes. It features platform
independence thanks to Java 1.5, does not require you to deploy your
application classes to a server, scales up to millions of nodes, has a
built-in fail-over mechanism on all the framework's components, and has a
monitoring and administration GUI tool to enable remote monitoring of the
server health and server shutdown/restart operations.
Changes: New load-balancing and failover capabilities were added to the
client, which can now connect to multiple servers. The administration
console now monitors multiple servers at once. The classloading mechanism
was improved to facilitate EJB invocations from a task. The build scripts
can now generate single jar files for deployment of nodes and servers. A
bug was fixed that prevented the screensaver node from executing tasks.

Tue, Dec 26th 2006 08:00
System :: Operating System Kernels
System :: Operating System Kernels :: Linux
About: Kernel Mode Linux is a technology which enables the execution of
user programs in a kernel mode. In Kernel Mode Linux, user programs can
access kernel address space directly. Unlike kernel modules, user programs
are executed as ordinary processes (except for their privilege level), so
scheduling and paging are performed as usual. Although it seems dangerous,
the safety of the kernel can be ensured through such methods as static type
checking, software fault isolation, and so forth.
Changes: This version was merged with the 2.4.34 Linux kernel.

by Jan Behrens (http://freshmeat.net/users/jbehrens/)
Tue, Dec 26th 2006 14:58
Database
Software Development :: Localization
Text Processing
About: pg_collkey is a wrapper to use the collation functions of the ICU
library with a PostgreSQL database server. Using this wrapper, you can
specify the desired locale for sorting UTF-8 strings directly in the SQL
query, rather than setting it during database installation. Default
Unicode collation (DUCET) is supported. You can select whether punctuation
should be a primary collation attribute or not. The level of comparison can
be limited (in order to ignore accents, for example). Numeric sequences of
strings can be recognized, so that 'test2' sorts before 'test10'. This
library is dependent on ICU.
Changes: This release adds support for PostgreSQL 8.2.

Tue, Dec 26th 2006 05:38
Information Management :: Metadata/Semantic Models
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Browsers
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Indexing/Search
About: SRESI is a smart bookmark manager. It currently sports both a
command-line and a PHP interface. It 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: The tree generation functions were completely rewritten. Besides
being cleaner, hint use has also been changed: in a hint-built branch, all
relevant hint descendants are used visibly, and additional branches are
only built off bookmarks without descendants. This is a release candidate
for the next stable branch: the next changes should only be only
documentation and bugfixes.

by Andras Horvath (http://freshmeat.net/users/raas123/)
Tue, Dec 26th 2006 07:51
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: Configuration file support in the output directory was added for
easier setting of album name and similar things. "IMG width=" and
"height=" attributes are now generated, allowing faster rendering.
