[002] - AjaxTop 1.0.2
by Matt Thompson (http://freshmeat.net/users/mthomp1234/)
Thu, Jan 18th 2007 16:54
About: AjaxTop is a framework that uses XML for object binding on both the
client (JavaScript) and server (Java) to simplify Web application
development. The client side is AJAX-based and supports client-side custom
tags embedded in XHTML. A built-in tag library is provided, with a XUL-like
box model and a few widgets like Slider, Splitter, and Calendar. The server
side is servlet-based. It is a symmetric client/server protocol with XML as
the command language, and a shared design concept called tag-oriented
programming.

Thu, Jan 18th 2007 05:52
Software Development
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
About: Apache Cayenne is a free object-relational persistence framework
written in Java. Its goal is to make development of database Java
applications faster and more consistent with the Object Oriented
Programming concept. Some of the ideas used in Cayenne have been inspired
by the persistence mechanism of NeXT's (and now Apple's) WebObjects
application server.
Changes: This release drops the "incubating" suffix from the release name
and fixes a number of important bugs. Upgrading is strongly recommended.

by Arno (http://freshmeat.net/users/arnova/)
Thu, Jan 18th 2007 10:10
System :: Networking
System :: Networking :: Firewalls
About: Arno's IPTABLES Firewall Script is a secure stateful firewall for
both single and multi-homed machines. It supports NAT and SNAT, port
forwarding, ADSL ethernet modems with both static and dynamically assigned
IPs, MAC address filtering, stealth port scan detection, DMZ and DMZ-2-LAN
forwarding, protection against SYN/ICMP flooding, and extensive user
definable logging with rate limiting to prevent log flooding. It has
plugin support to add extra features (like SSH Brute Force protection and
(Racoon) IPSEC support). It is easy to configure and highly customizable.
A filter script that makes your firewall log more readable is also
included.
Changes: Another bugfix for the new module_probe routine.

[006] - aSVERD Beta 2
by chrishunter (http://freshmeat.net/users/chrishunter/)
Thu, Jan 18th 2007 15:05
Database
About: aSVERD (A Scaleable Vector Entity Relationship Diagram) is a simple
Java system (3 classes) for generating entity relationship diagrams (ERDs)
from an existing database as scalable vector graphics (SVG). The system is
run from the command line to generate the initial SVG file. No attempt is
made to lay out the tables other than as a grid. The diagram can be
round-trip updated against the database and table positions, notes, etc.
will be preserved. Connecting lines between the tables are generated by
JavaScript in the SVG, rather than being just “lines”. This way, they stay
connected to the tables with which they are associated, being redrawn each
time the diagram is displayed.
Changes: There are fixes for FireFox onload handling. This release will
zoom when an entity is clicked.

[007] - atop 1.19
by Gerlof Langeveld (http://freshmeat.net/users/gela/)
Thu, Jan 18th 2007 06:42
System :: Monitoring
System :: Networking :: Monitoring
System :: Systems Administration
About: Atop is an ASCII full-screen performance monitor, similar to the
top command. At regular intervals, it shows system-level activity related
to the CPU, memory, swap, disks and network layers, and it shows for every
active process the CPU utilization in system and user mode, the virtual and
resident memory growth, priority, username, state, and exit code. The
process level activity is also shown for processes which finished during
the last interval, to get a complete overview about the consumers of
things such as CPU time. Atop only shows the active system-resources and
processes, and only shows the deviations since the previous interval.
Changes: A busy percentage is shown for each network-interface. Colors are
used to indicate that a particular hardware resource has (almost) reached a
critical busy percentage. The most critical resource is automatically
determined to adapt the sorting order for active processes dynamically.
Minor bugs were fixed.

[008] - audio-checker 0.8
by hadji (http://freshmeat.net/users/hadji/)
Thu, Jan 18th 2007 16:15
Education
Multimedia :: Graphics :: 3D Modeling
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Analysis
About: The aim of auch is to visualize harmonics in musical recordings.
Many tools show the spectrum, but this tool focuses on one or two specific
octaves with an indication of the tonica (the key) and sub-dominant(IV) and
dominant(V). It also supports wavelet transformation and resampling to
further analyze and clean-up the recording. This way, notes, chords, and
harmonics in a musical piece become more clear. Another feature is that
this tool can compare audio output (from a .wav file) with audio input
(microphone). This way, external filters added between the audio out and
in and the effects of a sound card can be studied.
Changes: The 'iviv' display looks for harmonic structure in a spectrum by
comparing a pitch with its fourth and fifth recursively. The result is a
visualisation of a 'binary search tree'.

[009] - BEJY 1.4.1.60

Thu, Jan 18th 2007 16:45
Communications :: Email :: Post-Office
Communications :: Email :: Post-Office :: IMAP
Communications :: Email :: Post-Office :: POP3
About: BEJY is a modular server application. It is packaged, by default,
as a Web application container and mail server with SSL. It has
functionality similar to inetd, and has some helper classes/functions to
ease the implementation of new protocols. It provides a generic
multithreaded TPC/IP server implementation with optional SSL support,
covering the complete connection and thread management. Each supported
service provides its protocol implementation. The current version comes
with HTTP, SMTP, POP3, and IMAP protocol implementations. The HTTP
protocol implementation also contains a servlet engine, a JSP 1.2 engine,
a handler to invoke CGI, and other useful things. The mail protocols
require a database using JDBC, as MySQL, MSSQL, and others.
Changes: Support has been added for SPF to reduce the number of spam false
positives. In IMAP, escaping of special characters in ENVELOPE has been
fixed. In SERVLET/JSP, getRequestURI has been fixed in forward() and
include(), and initial support has been added for servlet 2.4. New request
listeners are working.

[012] - Cobbler 0.3.6
by Michael DeHaan (http://freshmeat.net/users/mpdehaan/)
Thu, Jan 18th 2007 10:09
Software Development :: Libraries :: Python Modules
System :: Operating System :: Linux Distributions
System :: Software Distribution Tools
About: Cobbler is a command line tool for configuring provisioning and
update servers. It supports provisioning via PXE, virtualization (Xen),
and re-provisioning an existing Linux system ("auto-kickstarting") when
having a PXE environment isn't possible. The latter two features are
enabled by usage of ’koan’ (a client side provisioning application) on the
remote system. Update server features include yum mirroring over rsync://
and integration of those mirrors with kickstart. Cobbler is easy to use
and has an accompanying Python API. It supports RHEL4+, Fedora Core 5+,
and derivative distributions.
Changes: This release adds support for remote tracking of the kickstart
installation progress, which should be useful in medium sized
installations and large datacenters that cannot easily watch
installations. The new command is "cobbler status", and is detailed in the
man page documentation. This release enables a lock file to prevent
conflicts and adds some command aliases. The cobbler list is now more
concise.

About: Cyphesis is a fantasy MMORPG server (and NPC engine for servers)
using AI/A-Life techniques which doesn't have a predefined story. It is
the Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Life server/client used by the
WorldForge project.
Changes: A new subsystem was implemented for handling clothing and
equipment attached visibly to avatars and NPCs. Crowding of unused
characters around the spawn location has been solved. The code has been
superficially ported so it can now run on Windows. Each build now has a
unique identifier, making it easier to track what a server is running. A
number of dangerous race conditions have been removed. Python 2.5 is now
supported. Test coverage has been massively improved. Inline code
documentation coverage has been improved. Lots of bugs and memory leaks
have been fixed.

Software Development :: Documentation
Text Processing :: Filters
Text Processing :: Markup :: SGML
About: The DocBook Doclet creates DocBook XML from Java source
documentation or HTML files. It is helpful if you want to create reference
handbooks of your API. Normally it is used with the Javadoc tool but it can
also be used as a standalone application to convert HTML to DocBook.
Additionally it comes with a Swing application to manage documentation
projects and to transform the resulting DocBook files to PDF, Postscript,
HTML, or JavaHelp.
Changes: Support for JDK 1.6 was implemented. fop was upgrade from version
0.20.5 to 0.93. A new -split was added. If this flag is set, a new XML file
is created for every class. These module files are referenced via xinclude
from the main XML file. This allows you to reuse the documentation of a
class from a different XML file or to generate UNIX man pages for your
classes. The Debian package was fixed and improved.

by Lorenzo Bettini (http://freshmeat.net/users/bettini/)
Thu, Jan 18th 2007 05:49
Software Development
Utilities
About: GNU gengetopt takes a simple description of arguments and
generates a C function that uses the GNU getopt_long(3) function to
parse and validate the options. It is perfect if you are too lazy to
write all that is required to call getopt_long(3), or need to use many
options. The generated code also works with autoconf or automake.
Changes: Compilation problems that could make 'make check' fail on some
systems lacking getopt_long were fixed along with a test problem when not
using GNU sed. In strings, # comments are now not considered.

preferences, which further improves the separation of GUI and Core. A
download write buffer is used to reduce the load on your disk. Some nasty
little bugs were fixed.

[036] - Seed7 2007-01-18
by Thomas Mertes (http://freshmeat.net/users/thomas_mertes/)
Thu, Jan 18th 2007 16:01
Software Development :: Compilers
Software Development :: Interpreters
About: Seed7 is a general purpose programming language. It is a higher
level language compared to Ada, C++, and Java. In Seed7, new statements
and operators can be declared easily. Functions with type results and type
parameters are more elegant than a template or generics concept. Object
orientation is used when it brings advantages and not in places when other
solutions are more obvious. Although Seed7 contains several concepts of
other programming languages, it is generally not considered as a direct
descendant of any other programming language.
Changes: The compiler was improved to support interfaces (dynamic
functions). With this improvement, several example programs can be
compiled. The support for the actions gkb_busy_getc, gkb_xpos, gkb_ypos,
kbd_busy_getc, drw_pfellipse, and arr_arrlit2 was added to the compiler.
The X11 keyboard driver was improved.

Thu, Jan 18th 2007 06:44
Communications :: Email :: Filters
About: smf-spamd is a Sendmail filter for SpamAssassin. It aims to be
lightweight, reliable, and simple rather than have a myriad of options. It

information header, copies SPAM messages to the defined "garbage" mailbox,
rejects SPAM messages at the SMTP DATA stage, and logs all filter
activities to syslog. The code is small (does not exceed 580 lines), fast,
stable, and few resources are required. No temporary files are created.
Changes: Incorrect handling of missed Message-Id: header was fixed.
Cosmetic enhancements were made.
