[002] - Asymptote 1.20
by John Bowman (http://freshmeat.net/users/jcbowman/)
Fri, Dec 29th 2006 00:18
Education
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Editors :: Vector-Based
Scientific/Engineering
About: Asymptote is a powerful descriptive vector graphics language for
technical drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like
syntax. It provides for figures the same high-quality level of typesetting
that LaTeX does for scientific text. Asymptote is a programming language as
opposed to just a graphics program. It can exploit the best features of
script (command-driven) and graphical user interface (GUI) methods.
High-level graphics commands are implemented in the language itself,
allowing them to be easily tailored to specific applications.
Changes: Explicit yaxis label angles were fixed. Loading and including
diagnostics under the -vv option were improved. The Emacs asy-mode now
respects TeX-electric-sub-and-superscript. The texpath configuration
variable and diagnostics were fixed under MSWindows. Low-resolution
palettes now display correctly. A routine to fill cyclic contours was
added, along with the example fillcontour.asy. A command-line option to
change the current working directory was added. The FAQ was updated.

recovery, and verification of computer data across a network of different
computers. It is based on a client/server architecture and is efficient
and relatively easy to use, while offering many advanced storage
management features that make it easy to find and recover lost or damaged
files.
Changes: dbcheck has been converted to use 64-bit DB IDs. Autolabeling has
been fixed so that it will not mark a volume in error if the volume was not
actually opened. A few more ACL access checks have been added. The volume
migration error message has been clarified.

[006] - cutview 1.69
by hmahon (http://freshmeat.net/users/hmahon/)
Fri, Dec 29th 2006 23:24
About: cutview detects changes in the contents of the current selection or
cutbuffer0 and stores them in a buffer, which also displays the contents on
the screen. The user can edit or print the contents of a buffer from a
menu. The contents of a buffer can also be locked so that the contents
persist across X sessions. cutview mirrors cutbuffer0 to the selection,
and vice-versa, enabling some tools which don't use selections, e.g., VNC
to work.
Changes: The program will now work with GNOME. Pull-down menus are now
used instead of pop-up menus.

Fri, Dec 29th 2006 00:06
Scientific/Engineering :: Medical Science Apps.
About: nut is nutrition software to record what you eat and analyze your
meals for nutrient composition. The database included is the USDA Nutrient
Database for Standard Reference, Release 19, which contains 7,293 foods and
140 nutrients. This database contains values for vitamins, minerals, fats,
calories, protein, carbohydrates, fiber, etc., and includes the essential
polyunsaturated fats, Omega-3 and Omega-6. Nutrient levels are expressed
as a percentage of the Daily Value, the familiar standard of food labeling
in the United States, but also can be fully customized. Foods can be added
from recipes or food labels, and nutrient intake can be graphed. The
program is completely menu-driven and there are no commands to learn.
Changes: This release fixes some minor bugs, including the correction of
the kilojoule value when changing kilocalories for a labeled food. A new
feature is that the meal date can now be entered as a positive or negative
offset from today, such as "-3" or "+1".

[032] - phpMyRecipes 1.2.0
by Todd Palino (http://freshmeat.net/users/toddpalino/)
Fri, Dec 29th 2006 23:10
Home Automation
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
About: phpMyRecipes is a simple Web-based application for storing and
retrieving recipes. It implements security to allow recipes to be searched
and viewed by anyone, but all functions involving changes require
additional privileges to be granted by the administrator. Recipes are
categorized, and new categories are easy to create. Ingredients are added
to the database on-the-fly as they are used in recipes. Unit types (such
as "cup" or "teaspoon") are also stored in the database, and unit
"plurals" are also handled correctly. A robust search feature that
supports a wide range of criteria, including words found (or not found) in
the instructions, the recipe name, category, and ingredients list is
included.
Changes: The ability to email recipes was added (with a privilege for it).
Uploaded recipe images were added along with printable versions of recipes
and categories in the search page. Miscellaneous functions were separated
out from the config and look and feel.

[033] - Plash 1.17
by mseaborn (http://freshmeat.net/users/mseaborn/)
Fri, Dec 29th 2006 07:10
Security
System :: Filesystems
System :: Operating System
About: Plash is a sandbox for running GNU/Linux programs with minimum
privileges. It is suitable for running both command line and GUI programs.
It can dynamically grant Gtk-based GUI applications access rights to
individual files that you want to open or edit. This happens transparently
through the Open/Save file chooser dialog box, by replacing
GtkFileChooserDialog. Plash virtualizes the file namespace and provides
per-process/per-sandbox namespaces. It can grant processes read-only or
read-write access to specific files and directories, mapped at any point
in the filesystem namespace. It does not require modifications to the
Linux kernel.
Changes: This release adds Python bindings for Plash's object interface,
layered/copy-on-write directories, an update to build glibc 2.3.6, 2.4,
and 2.5 (previously only 2.3.5), security fixes to disallow setting
setuid/setgid bits and to fix the -t option in pola-run, a -e option for
pola-run, and packaging improvements to build packages for three Debian
variants. pola-run now looks up executables in PATH.

[034] - Python Integrated Development Application 0.4.2
by Ali Afshar (http://freshmeat.net/users/aafshar/)
Fri, Dec 29th 2006 07:07
About: Python Integrated Development Application (Pida) is an IDE based
around the idea of reusing existing tools, rather than attempting to write
a set of development tools of its own. It uses Vim as the editor, either
with its traditional user interface or with a user interface that
resembles more common text editors.

[035] - Query Object Framework 0.7.2
by Neil Williams (http://freshmeat.net/users/codehelp/)
Fri, Dec 29th 2006 07:28
Database :: Database Engines/Servers
Information Management
Office/Business :: Financial :: Accounting
About: QOF (Query Object Framework), provides a set of C Language
utilities for performing generic structured complex queries on a set of
data held by a set of C/C++ objects. This framework is unique in that it
does not require SQL or any database at all to perform the query. Thus, it
allows programmers to add query support to their applications without
having to hook into an SQL database.
Changes: This release adds KVP_TYPE_BOOLEAN support, extensible error
handling, and new Brazilian Portuguese and Indonesian translations. It
fixes doxygen support (so that it can be disabled cleanly) and a sqlite
error that resulted in spurious temporary files. It improves speed in the
sqlite backend, packages the .pot file directly, and removes
AM_MAINTAINER_MODE. QofError is designed for user-friendly messages and
supports setting errors and error messages on-the-fly to provide user
error messages that are as detailed, relevant, and helpful as possible.

[044] - The Hacker Key Guide 4
by Chris Allegretta (http://freshmeat.net/users/astyanax/)
Fri, Dec 29th 2006 04:34
About: The Hacker Key Guide allows hackers, both current and aspiring, to
encode vital information about their traits into a single line of text,
generally useful for sig files. It is based in principle on the wonderful
Geek Code by Robert Hayden, but is skewed further to the geek programming
niche.
Changes: Category additions include "Cygwin" for Windows, "MMO" and "RTS"
to games, and several new additions to the books section. Answers 2 and 3
in math were changed for those hackers still in secondary school. The
Linux section was completely revamped and updated, and the user-specified
(O)ther option was added to Linux and IDE/text editors. The politics
section now uses the Political Compass website ratings.

About: Ultimate++ is a cross-platform C++ rapid application development
suite. It includes set of libraries (for things like GUI and SQL) and an
integrated development environment. Rapid development is achieved by smart
and aggressive use of C++ rather than through fancy code generators. In

preserving C/C++ runtime characteristics. Its integrated development
environment, TheIDE, introduces modular conception to C++ programming, and
can be used to develop non-U++ applications.
