over GNU GRUB, and can be used to run legacy DOS/Windows9x systems with
floppy or hard disk images.
Changes: GRLDR (as a no-emulation-mode bootable CDROM image) was adapted
to cope with some buggy BIOSes (e.g. VirtualPC). LBA-to-CHS geometry
translation was added in int13_handler to simulate LBA (EBIOS) on CHS-only
drives. A new feature of unconditional command-line entrance was added.
Beverly Brown's patch to load_initrd was applied. Two new options were
added to the map command to better serve Win9x. The default config file
search path for GRUB.EXE was changed. Many bugs were fixed.

conversion is done by libtiff. Perl is used for portability and ease of
programming, with gtk2-perl for the GUI.
Changes: Translations were added for Belarusian, Chinese (Taiwan), Czech,
and Russian. The Swedish translation was updated. Two scanimage calls were
removed. The device is added to the model name if the same model is present
more than once. Drag-n-drop now autoscrolls the thumbnail list. An error is
now thrown if Locale::gettext version is less than 1.05. New icons were
added for application and rotate buttons.

Desktop Environment :: Tools
System :: Hardware
Utilities
About: keyTouch makes it possible to easily configure the extra function
keys of a keyboard (like multimedia keys). It allows the user to define
which program will be executed when a key is pressed.
Changes: The "BASSBOOST" (kernel) keycode cannot be used anymore in

are received from the X server when a key with keycode BASSBOOST is
pressed. The Swedish and Irish translations were updated. GUI was improved
by moving the "OK" button of the keyboard selection dialog from the left
side of the "Cancel" button to the right side.

About: MOSIX is a management system for Linux clusters and organizational
grids that provides a Single-System Image. In a MOSIX based system, there
is no need to modify or link applications with any library, copy files,
login to remote nodes, or even assign processes to different nodes; it is
all done automatically. Just "fork and forget", like in an SMP.
Changes: This release uses version 2.4.34 of the Linux kernel.

Communications
Scientific/Engineering
Software Development :: Libraries
About: MQ4CPP, or "Message Queuing for C++", is an implementation of an
enterprise messaging system, also referred to as message-oriented
middleware (MOM). It enables C++ application threads to communicate with
other threads locally or remotely through the exchange of messages. A
message is a request, report, and/or event that contains information
needed to coordinate communication between different applications. MQ4CPP
implements direct/indirect messaging, unsolicited messaging,
request/reply, conversation, publish/subscribe, store & forward, and
broadcast. It supports multithreading, application clustering (failover
and session replication), and encryption. MQ4CPP also includes a
distributed lock manager, a file transfer manager, and a distributed
memory channel.
Changes: This version implements message routing. The benchmark
application has been modified to support local and remote message routing.

[031] - NTP 4.2.4 (Stable)
by Steve Kostecke (http://freshmeat.net/users/kostecke/)
Sun, Dec 31st 2006 22:42
About: The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to synchronize the time of
a computer client or server to another server or reference time source,
such as a radio or satellite receiver or modem. It provides client
accuracies typically within a millisecond on LANs and up to a few tens of
milliseconds on WANs relative to a primary server synchronized to
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) via a Global Positioning Service (GPS)
receiver, for example.
Changes: Dynamic interface rescanning was added to simplify the use of
ntpd in conjunction with DHCP. GNU AutoGen is used for its command-line
options processing. Separate PPS devices are supported for PARSE
refclocks. MD5 signatures are now provided for the release files. Drivers
have been added for some new ref-clocks and have been removed for some
older ref-clocks. This release also includes other improvements,
documentation, and bugfixes.

Sun, Dec 31st 2006 15:25
Communications :: Email
Communications :: Email :: Mailing List Servers
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management
About: poMMo is versatile mass mailing software. It can be used to add a
mailing list to your Web site or to organize stand alone mailings. Unique
features such as the ability to mail subsets of your subscribers set it
apart from alternatives.
Changes: This release adds the ability to toggle a public mailings history
page. It adds "update activation": subscribers must verify their email
before accessing records. There are EN-UK translation updates.
Subscriber's privacy has been increased through update activation. The
mailing processor now explicitly closes the SMTP session. Unsubscribed
members no longer show up in dupe checking and lookup functions. Members
can again unsubscribe themselves. This release is safeguarded against
script collisions when a mailing receives a restart command.

[037] - Port Scan Attack Detector 2.0.3
by Michael Rash (http://freshmeat.net/users/michaelrash/)
Sun, Dec 31st 2006 13:08
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: This release removes the Psad.pm Perl module and kmsgsd.pl and
psadwatchd.pl scripts. In the previous scheme, psad imported its config
with a function within Psad.pm, and this required that psad import the
Psad Perl module before reading its config. A consequence was that the
PSAD_LIBS_DIR var could not be specified usefully within the config file.
The ability to recursively resolve embedded variables from *.conf files
(with a limit of 20 resolution attempts) has been added.
IGNORE_KERNEL_TIMESTAMP has been added so that Linux distributions that
add a timestamp to all kernel messages (Ubuntu, for example) can be
ignored.

Sun, Dec 31st 2006 07:08
Scientific/Engineering :: Mathematics
Software Development :: Interpreters
About: RPL/2 (Reverse Polish Lisp/2) is a langage derived from the RPL
made by Hewlett-Packard for its HP-28S. It has some extensions
(preprocessor, compilated libraries, new functions), a TeX output, and can
draw graphics.
Changes: The default [CF]FLAGS were modified due to a bug in gcc-sparc64.
CTRL+Z and CTRL+C signals now only perform actions on the main process.
Major bugs were fixed in multitasking capabilities. A minor bug was fixed
in SCLS. Variables are now written in the rpl-core file. NEG is modified
to return 0 instead -0 when its argument is a real or complex number. The
ROW+ intrinsic can now be used on an empty matrix without dimension error.
A major bug was fixed in the SUB intrinsic. It only occurs with lists when
it tries to return invalid elements like { } 1 2 sub. A major bug was
fixed in both ROW- and ROW+ intrinsics.

[045] - Universal Password Manager 1.5
by Adrian Smith (http://freshmeat.net/users/adrianfsmith/)
Sun, Dec 31st 2006 08:38
About: Universal Password Manager (UPM) allows you to store usernames,
passwords, URLs, etc. in an encrypted database protected by one master
password. Its three strongest features are simplicity (it provides a small
number of very strong features with no clutter), the ability to run
cross-platform, and database sharing. Rather than having many separate
databases (home, work, etc.), database sharing allows you store your
database at a remote location (password protected HTTP URL, for example)
and then have UPM automatically keep your local database in sync with the
remote database.
Changes: This release adds Czech and German translations. It adds username
and password fields to the HTTP proxy options. In the account information
dialog, the password is masked by default. To view it, untick a checkbox.
The French localisation has been removed (no French translator available).
There are a few small bugfixes here and there.

About: VortexGE is a software 3D renderer for the X environment that was
created without using OpenGL/MesaGL. It also supports 2D image
manipulations and audio access and is intended for creating Linux games
without needing 3D card acceleration.
Changes: All non-API documentation HTML files were completely refactored.
Almost all non-internal API should have been documented. The configuration
and build scripts were improved. Initial support for XIM was started. New
functionalities and some simple dialog controls were added. Some file
refactoring, code compaction, optimizations, and bug and typo fixes were
done.

Sun, Dec 31st 2006 08:02
System :: Diagnostics
System :: Monitoring
System :: Networking :: Monitoring
About: XMLSysInfo (XSI) is an easy-to-use, secure, and comprehensive
system monitoring daemon that replies to network queries with XML-encoded
system information and statistics. This data can then be analyzed,
graphed, or otherwise presented by a front-end.
Changes: This release adds a fuzzer, i.e. noise generator, to XMLSysInfo.
It was used to find and fix several potential issues in the output, a
double-free() crash, and string sanitization problems. Several thousand
test cases have made it reasonably sure that XSI cannot produce invalid
output any more. A serious reliability issue has been fixed by ignoring
the SIGPIPE signal.
