[001] - Bitflu 0.42
  by broccoli (http://freshmeat.net/users/broccoli/)
  Wed, Dec 26th 2007 04:11

Communications :: File Sharing

About: Bitflu is a BitTorrent client designed to run non-stop as a daemon.
It does not provide a graphical interface, but offers a telnet interface
and can handle multiple torrent downloads.

Changes: This release fixes a security problem in the default storage
plugin: A malicious torrent could have caused it to append data to
existing files while committing the download. An annoying networking bug
that made bitflu drop connections has also been fixed.

[002] - Brasero 0.7.0
  by Luis Medinas (http://freshmeat.net/users/metalgod/)
  Wed, Dec 26th 2007 10:32

Desktop Environment :: Gnome
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: CD Audio
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: CD Audio :: CD Writing

About: Brasero (formerly known as Bonfire) is a application to burn CDs
and DVDs for the GNOME desktop. It is designed to be as simple as
possible, and has some unique features to enable users to create their
discs easily and quickly.

Changes: Migrated to the GtkTooltip API. This release requires Gtk+ 2.11.6
or higher. A new plugin system for burning backends. An Inhibit/Uninhibit
system with Gnome Power Manager via DBUS. Support for libburn 0.4.0.
Support for libbeagle 0.3.x. Split audio tracks. An improved look to
comply with HIG. The preview widget has been improved. Better handling of
md5sums on files. SCSI library bugs have been fixed, and pre-MMC2 drives
are supported. An option to choose the number of media to burn. A
configuration option for temporary files. A button to configure audio
levels. Improved dummy mode.

[003] - C->Haskell 0.15.1
  by imipak (http://freshmeat.net/users/imipak/)
  Wed, Dec 26th 2007 14:15

Software Development :: Code Generators

About: C->Haskell is an interface generator that simplifies the
development of Haskell bindings to C libraries. The tool processes
existing C header files that determine data layout and function signatures
on the C side in conjunction with Haskell modules that specify Haskell-side
type signatures and marshaling details. Hooks embedded in the Haskell code
signal access to C structures and functions; they are expanded by the
interfacing tool in dependence on information from the corresponding C
header file.

Changes: Assorted updates, enhancements, and bugfixes.

[004] - cpphs 1.5
  by imipak (http://freshmeat.net/users/imipak/)
  Wed, Dec 26th 2007 14:18

Software Development :: Pre-processors

About: cpphs is a more liberal re-implementation of cpp, the C
pre-processor, in Haskell. The C pre-processor is widely used in Haskell
source code, but a true cpp is often unavailable on some systems (such as
native Windows), and the common cpp provided by the gcc 3.x series has
become more strictly tied to the C language, in subtle ways that are
incompatible with Haskell's syntax. This includes problems with, for
instance, string gaps, and prime characters in identifiers. This project
provides a robust alternative to cpp that is more compatible with Haskell
and can be distributed with compilers.

Changes: This release fixes some more obscure corner cases involving
parameterised macro expansion within conditionals. Internal refactoring
affecting parts of the library API has been performed.

[005] - DrIFT 2.2.1 (Stable)
  by imipak (http://freshmeat.net/users/imipak/)
  Wed, Dec 26th 2007 14:06

Software Development :: Code Generators

About: DrIFT is a type sensitive preprocessor for Haskell. It extracts
type declarations and directives from modules and applies rules to them
which generate code. It is intended that the user can add new rules as
required. DrIFT automates instance derivation for classes that aren't
supported by the standard compilers. In addition, instances can be
produced in separate modules to that containing the type declaration. This
allows instances to be derived for a type after the original module has
been compiled. Simple utility functions can also be produced from a type.

Changes: Numerous enhancements and bugfixes.

[006] - equinox3d 0.9.2
  by lnxpilot (http://freshmeat.net/users/lnxpilot/)
  Wed, Dec 26th 2007 06:55

Multimedia :: Graphics :: 3D Modeling
Multimedia :: Graphics :: 3D Rendering
Scientific/Engineering :: Astronomy

About: EQUINOX-3D is a 3D modeler with a very fast, fully integrated
ray-tracer. It features read/write support for COLLADA, read support for
Radiance's .hdr image format, 3DS (3D-studio) file format read support,
multi-texturing, custom-programmable texture mapping, bump-mapping with
automatic texture-space tangents, the ability to zoom into a region with
"fly-to", and more. It includes a full runtime-class framework and a core
design that allows for the addition of anything from a physics engine to a
fully integrated renderer from a plugin. It is faster and more memory
efficient than many other modelers.

Changes: Fast and physically accurate area lights were added, using
adaptive stratified sampling. Ray-tracing was made faster. The animation
infrastructure was improved. Undo and redo work for more operations. The
user interface was improved.

[008] - Exuberant Ctags 5.7
  by imipak (http://freshmeat.net/users/imipak/)
  Wed, Dec 26th 2007 14:01

Software Development

[009] - Ghostscript 8.61
  by Moritz Barsnick (http://freshmeat.net/users/barsnick/)
  Wed, Dec 26th 2007 16:59

Multimedia :: Graphics
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Graphics Conversion
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Viewers

About: Ghostscript is a processor for PostScript and PDF files. It can
rasterize these files to a wide variety of printers, devices for screen
preview, and image file formats. Since applications tend to prepare pages
for printing in a high-level format such as PostScript, most Unix users
with low-level bitmap printers, such as inkjets, use GhostScript as part
of the printing process. In addition, Ghostscript is capable of converting
PostScript files, functionality comparable to Adobe Acrobat Distiller, but
on the command line. In addition, Ghostscript is used for file import and
viewing by a great many other applications, including xv, ImageMagick,
gimp, and xdvi. Several GUI wrappers for viewing PostScript and PDF files
exist, including GSview, ghostview, gv, ggv, and kghostview. This is far
from a comprehensive list.

Changes: Several bugs were fixed. The default device on Unix-oriented
builds was changed again to the x11alpha device, which provides
antialiasing for display.

[010] - gLabels 2.2.0 (Stable)
  by Jim Evins (http://freshmeat.net/users/evins/)
  Wed, Dec 26th 2007 07:40

Office/Business
Printing

About: gLabels is a lightweight program for creating labels and business
cards for the GNOME desktop environment. It is designed to work with
various laser/ink-jet peel-off label and business card sheets that you'll
find at most office supply stores.

Changes: This is the first release of a new stable branch. It is a major
technology overhaul which includes replacing the deprecated libnomeprint
and libgnomecanvas libraries with the new GtkPringOperation API and Cairo
library.

[011] - GNOME Terminator 0.6
  by Chris Jones (http://freshmeat.net/users/cmsj/)
  Wed, Dec 26th 2007 17:03

Desktop Environment :: Gnome
Terminals :: Terminal Emulators/X Terminals

About: Terminator is an application that provides lots of terminals in a
single window, saving valuable screen space otherwise wasted on window
decorations and not quite being able to fill the screen with terminals.

Changes: This release uses a new gnome-terminal gconf key to find
available profiles. A few more hard-coded items have been moved to the
settings array (not that it can be overridden yet). Handling of exiting
child processes has been fixed to properly track gnome-terminal settings.
Ctrl-Tab and Ctrl-Shift-Tab have been added as options for switching
terminals. This release no longer uses parent.show_all() when
removing/adding a terminal, and instead shows the actual widgets that have
been created. This prevents scroll bars from re-appearing after they have
been hidden.

that this release is based on Java 1.5 instead of SDL.
