[001] - Active port forwarder 0.8.4
by jeremian (http://freshmeat.net/users/jeremian/)
Sat, Oct 6th 2007 13:26
System :: Networking
About: Active port forwarder uses SSL for secure packet tunneling. It is
designed for people without an external IP who want to make some services
available on the Internet. afserver is placed on the machine with a
publicly accessible address, and afclient is placed on the machine behind
a firewall or masquerade. This makes the second machine visible to the
Internet. Running afserver does not require root priviledges, nor does it
use other processes. Zlib is used to compress the transferred data.
Changes: The certificate-based authentication has been added with several
minor bugfixes.

Sat, Oct 6th 2007 14:02
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: CD Audio
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Players
About: AlsaPlayer is a new PCM player written with the ALSA sound system
in mind. It also includes support for JACK, OSS, NAS, and ESD. It makes
extensive use of multi-threading and supports OGG, MP3, WAV, CDDA (CD
Digital Audio), MOD, S3M, IT, and many other input types. Features include
a real- time effects stream, variable speed/pitch control,
SHOUTcast/icecast streaming support, multiple active visual scopes,
command line mode, playlists, plugin architecture, low-latency mode, and
more.
Changes: A crash at start up due to loading of the gtk1 config file when
present was fixed. A possible buffer overflow in the vorbis input plugin
was fixed. Other fixes include a new and updated Swedish translation and
an updated man page. As the GTK2 interface is working reliably, this
should be the last release candidate before 0.99.80.

[003] - Apache JMeter 2.3
by imipak (http://freshmeat.net/users/imipak/)
Sat, Oct 6th 2007 12:39
Software Development :: Testing
About: The Apache JMeter is a 100% pure Java desktop application designed
for performance and load testing of servers. It was primarily designed for
Web/HTTP testing but it has been expanded to include support for a variety
of testing modules. It ships with modules for HTTP and SQL databases
(using JDBC). It may be used to test server performance both on static and
dynamic resources, to simulate a heavy load on a server or network to test
its strength, or to analyse overall performance under different load
types. It also provides pluggable interfaces for customizing data
visualization, test synchronization, and the construction and execution of
tests.
Changes: Numerous major bugs were fixed. Namespace support was added.

[004] - AutoLaTeX 5.3
by sgalland (http://freshmeat.net/users/sgalland/)
Sat, Oct 6th 2007 14:47
Text Processing :: Markup :: TeX/LaTeX
About: AutoLaTeX is a tool for managing small to large sized LaTeX
projects. The typical AutoLaTeX input file is simply a series of variable
definitions in a Makefile for the project. This Makefile was automatically
generated by a provided Perl script. The user can easily perform all
required steps to do such tasks as preview the document or produce a PDF
file. AutoLaTeX will keep track of files that have changed and how to run
the various programs that are needed to produce the output. One of the
best features of AutoLaTeX is to provide translation rules to
automatically generate the figures which will be included into the PDF.
Changes: Some GTK configuration flags are not saved in the previous
version. This bug was fixed, along with a Debian package dependency bug.

Sat, Oct 6th 2007 16:21
Software Development :: Debuggers
Software Development :: Libraries
Software Development :: Libraries :: Perl Modules
About: Coro is a package providing both low-level coroutines as well as a
high-level multitasking abstraction on top of Perl. It allows you to
parallelize LWP and other network protocols with ease. Unlike the
so-called "Perl threads/fork emulation", they provide a real shared
address space (like real threads) without the associated race conditions
and performance loss, while maintaining a very low memory overhead
(2-3kb/coroutine). The package comes with examples and many supporting
modules.

[009] - DarkWorld 0.2.1
by DarkWorld Author (http://freshmeat.net/users/dwauth/)
Sat, Oct 6th 2007 22:34
Games/Entertainment :: Real Time Strategy
About: DarkWorld is a space-based massively multiplayer real-time strategy
game. Each player starts off with their own home planet. From there they
can build ships, start exploring the universe, colonize other planets, and
attack other players. What makes this game unique is that the game is
always running at a very slow speed even when you are not connected. When
you send a ship to another planet, it may not arrive for hours or days,
and likewise the message it sends back may not arrive for hours or days.
This allows many players to engage in a real-time strategy game that could
last for months. New players can join the game at any time.
Changes: Lots of bugfixes were made in this release. In addition to the
bugfixes, a few new features were added. On the client, counts were added
to the Universe view and gather and auto explore options were added to the
Ship View. On the server side, a simple event logging feature was added.
This logs all high level events that occurred in game. This log provides
the data needed for post game analysis.

Sat, Oct 6th 2007 14:23
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
About: DRBPoll is a simple PHP poll script that doesn't require a
database. It allows you to put a poll form on virtually any page on your
Web site. The results page displays a colored bar graph of the votes. The
look and feel of the poll form and results page can be customized using a
standard CSS file. Data is stored in flat files, so no database is
required.

[012] - eINIT 0.25.0
by jyujin (http://freshmeat.net/users/jyujin/)
Sat, Oct 6th 2007 14:20
System :: Boot :: Init
About: eINIT is an alternative init system. It's quite fast, since it can
potentially be used without the help of any scripting at all, but it is
still flexible and extremely modular. The focus is on speed and
parallelisation, mostly with embedded devices and low-downtime servers in
mind, and benchmarks do suggest that it's doing a fairly good job at that.
It compiles cleanly (and should thus work, provided someone writes
appropriate modules) on Linux, FreeBSD, and Darwin/Mac OS X.
Changes: This release reworks some of eINIT's internals. Among other
things, this means that a lot of the services you'd normally need to
enable manually were cut. Special goodies include automatic module
unloading (if enabled separately) and reworked module specs.

[013] - envbot 0.0.1-beta4
by AnMaster (http://freshmeat.net/users/AnTux/)
Sat, Oct 6th 2007 14:53
Communications :: Chat :: Internet Relay Chat
About: envbot is an advanced modular IRC bot coded in bash. Features
include SSL, IPv6, modularity (with several good modules already),
transport modules (including OpenSSL, GnuTLS, netcat, etc.),
loading/unloading/reloading of modules at runtime, rehashing configuration
at runtime, advanced access control, and much more.
Changes: $config_log_raw was added, which defines if log raw lines should
be logged or not. This affects both STDOUT and logfiles. misc_clean_spaces
was slow, changed to inline ways of stripping spaces. Some code was added
to check for stuff that matches no hook. This caused the discovery that
there is no umode change hook, which was fixed. Assignment of factoids was
made to work if there is more than one separator in a string. A bug with
forgetting factoids was fixed.

stable under current Linux kernels. It now burns multiple sessions onto
the medium. Big changes a small enhancement were also done: archives can
now be split into more than one file (avoiding the 2GB limit per file on
DVDs).

[033] - Seamstress and Arachne 1.0.0
by Hayden Walles (http://freshmeat.net/users/hgwalles/)
Sat, Oct 6th 2007 16:13
Multimedia :: Graphics
About: Seamstress is a portable library that implements Avidan and
Shamir's seam carving technique for content-aware image resizing. Arachne
is a program developed alongside the library to show it at its best. It
allows realtime, fluid image resizing using this fascinating technique.
Seam carving works by removing the "boring bits" from an image, so it can
change the aspect ratio of many images without changing the shape of the
objects inside.

[034] - SnortSMS 1.7.8
by SmithJ108 (http://freshmeat.net/users/smithj108/)
Sat, Oct 6th 2007 22:31
Security
About: SnortSMS is a highly configurable sensor management system that
provides the ability to remotely administer Snort [and Barnyard] based
Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), push configuration files, add/edit
rules, and monitor system health and statistics, all from a simple and
clean Web interface console. Whether you have one or multiple Snort
sensors, it can help unify and syncronize all sensor configurations.
Changes: A major rewrite of the Sensor Agent was done. PHP is now used
instead of Perl. A Web Portal listener is now used to access the agent
functions. This eliminates the dependency on Webmin and Perl on the
Sensor. The remote agent was rewritten as a PHP-based Web script. SnortSMS
Collector was updated to handle the new agent format.

[035] - Spotter 2.4.0
by Ben Crowell (http://freshmeat.net/users/bcrowell/)
Sat, Oct 6th 2007 16:26
Education :: Computer Aided Instruction (CAI)
About: Spotter is software that can check students' answers to symbolic
and numerical problems in math and science. It recognizes an answer
regardless of the form it's in, and the instructor can put in helpful
hints as responses to frequently-occurring mistakes. Symbolic answers can
be input in a notation closely resembling normal human math notation
(e.g., xy rather than x*y, and sin x instead of sin(x)). Spotter runs as a
Perl CGI application on a Web server; the student doesn't need to install
any software.
Changes: The code has been cleaned up, and server-side performance has
been improved by about a factor of three.

[040] - SuperShow 2.1
by Raster (http://freshmeat.net/users/scostas/)
Sat, Oct 6th 2007 14:16
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Presentation
About: SuperShow is a program to create Adobe Flash files from some slides
and an audio or video file. SuperShow allows you to easily synchronize the
audio and the slide transitions and insulates you from the command-line
interface of creating Flash files with SWFtools.
Changes: When the user resizes the main window, the slides resize too.
While creating the slideshow, now SuperShow stops the sound when the user
passes the last slide, so the user doesn't have to wait until the sound
ends. Now the slideshow ends at the end of the sound if, during creation,
there were slides left.
