[001] - AFNIX programming language 1.6.0
  by Amaury C. Darsch (http://freshmeat.net/users/amaury/)
  Tue, Jan 1st 2008 02:50

Software Development :: Interpreters

About: AFNIX is a multi-threaded functional programming language with
dynamic symbol bindings that support the object oriented paradigm. It has
a rich set of features providing runtime compatibility with C++. The
engine runs on both 32- and 64-bit platforms, and it is designed to be
portable across platforms.

Changes: This release is a base platform for further extension of the
AFNIX engine. In particular, the collector engine has been rewritten and
the object memory management has been cleaned. The Mac OS X Leopard
platform is also supported in this release.

[002] - Arachnida 1.1.00
  by Ronald Landheer-Cieslak (http://freshmeat.net/users/blytkerchan/)
  Tue, Jan 1st 2008 23:31

Communications
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: HTTP Servers
Software Development

About: Arachnida is an embeddable Web server. It uses the OpenSSL library
and consists of a small framework for networking that allows you to
asynchronously accept and handle connections using a "new connection
handler" to handle new connections and a "data handler" to handle incoming
data. This makes it possible to add support for any TCP/IP based protocol
by just adding a handler. A test suite is included.

Changes: With respect to the previous version, this version adds a
Response structure, which allows an application to easily send HTTP
responses over a connection. It also adds a facility to send anything
serializable over a connection easily.

[003] - argtable 2.8
  by Stewart Heitmann (http://freshmeat.net/users/sheitman/)
  Tue, Jan 1st 2008 01:58

Software Development :: Libraries

About: Argtable is an ANSI C library for parsing GNU style command line
arguments, as in "foo -abc -o myfile --help --count=7". It enables a
program's command line syntax to be defined in the source code as an array
of argtable structs. The command line is then parsed according to that
specification, and the resulting values are returned in those same structs
where they are accessible to the main program. The default parsing,
validation, and error reporting routines may be replaced by user-defined
callbacks if desired, and new argtable data types may be created to parse
user-defined argument types. The parsing itself is done using GNU getopt
and so is 100% GNU compatible.

Changes: This release adds some additional foolproofing in the arg_xxx()
constructor functions and includes some very minor code tweaks.

[004] - Barcode Writer in Pure Postscript 2008-01-01
  by Terry Burton (http://freshmeat.net/users/terryburton/)
  Tue, Jan 1st 2008 11:05

Information Management
Multimedia :: Graphics
Office/Business

About: Barcode Writer in Pure Postscript implements the printing of many
barcode formats entirely within level 2 PostScript, so that the process of
converting the input string into the printed output is performed by the
printer itself. This avoids the need to re-implement the barcode
generation process whenever your language needs change. The project
supports most major barcode formats including EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E,
ISBN, Code 128 (A, B, and C), Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, Postnet, Code 2
of 5, and Codabar.

Changes: Initial support for the PDF417 2D symbology was added.

[005] - Bitgate Server Software Environment 0.7.1
  by Ken Hollis (http://freshmeat.net/users/Tsuichi1/)
  Tue, Jan 1st 2008 01:57

Internet

About: Bitgate Server Software Environment aims to build a multi-protocol
application environment in which server protocol handlers can be
eventually loaded and unloaded on the fly using a center console or
controller Web page. It aims to have 99.9% uptime, and have
high-availability compliance. It is written in Java 6, and relies
completely on Java's I/O functionality to provide non-blocking support for
both SSL and non-SSL sockets (without having to know how to use SSLEngine).
All configuration is done via XML files, as this is easier to maintain. It
includes a minimal demonstration HTTP server.

Changes: Some code was modified so that the SoapRegistry no longer begins
at startup. Documentation was added on a method basis, so that methods
inside a SOAP class can now be documented. SOAP requests are now properly
parsed, and a SOAP response object is now generated and has been tested
against several SOAP clients. Javadoc documentation was added to missing
functions in the SOAP classes. The util class was updated so that the
ShutdownHook registry can now take a class instead of a single instance
during register().

[006] - Canadian Payroll Jan_2008-00 (Development)
  by pevans (http://freshmeat.net/users/pevans/)
  Tue, Jan 1st 2008 23:55

Office/Business :: Financial :: Accounting

About: CdnPayroll calculates Canadian payroll taxes, CPP, EI, WCB, HP,
etc. The command line version produces various outputs for stand-alone use
or for use with another program. It includes a simple GUI for Linux written
in Kaptain and a CGI version for Web use.

Changes: Changes were made due to 86th Edition t3127-jan-08e.pdf,
effective Jan 01, 2008. The Yukon calcs disagree significantly with the
Canada Revenue Agency on-line calculator, so the Yukon option should not
be used until this is resolved. All other jurisdictions test correctly.

Software Development :: Interpreters
Software Development :: Libraries

About: Ctalk provides object oriented programming features, like classes,
methods, operator overloading, and inheritance to otherwise standard C
programs. You can use only a few objects and classes in a program, or you
can write programs entirely in Ctalk. The package provides a translator
from Ctalk source code into C for compilation and a library that provides
run-time support for class objects. The preprocessor, ctpp, is also
available separately, and the package includes sample programs and
documentation.

  Tue, Jan 1st 2008 13:23

Communications
Scientific/Engineering :: Geographical

About: gpsd is a daemon that listens to a GPS or Loran receiver and
translates the positional data into a simplified format that can be more
easily used by other programs, like chart plotters. The package comes with
a sample client that plots the location of the currently visible GPS
satellites (if available) and a speedometer. It can also use DGPS/ip.

Changes: While work has occurred on other drivers since the last release,
the key reason for pushing this release is to fix a nasty brown-paper-bag
bug in the handling of leap years. This caused the date to be wrong by one
day until the leap day in February.

[016] - HTTP Replicator 4.0alpha1
  by Gertjan (http://freshmeat.net/users/gertjanvanzwieten/)
  Tue, Jan 1st 2008 07:09

Internet :: Proxy Servers

About: HTTP Replicator is a general purpose caching proxy server. It
reduces bandwidth by merging concurrent downloads and building a local
"replicated" file hierarchy, similar to wget -r. The cache is also
accessible through a Web interface.

Changes: This version was rewritten from scratch. This version breaks with
Python's built-in asyncore framework and replaces it with a much more
flexible scheduler based on Python generators. To the user, the new
flexibility shows in a long list of new features, such as server-side
download resuming, FTP support, bandwidth shaping, and IPv6 support. Known
issues have been solved, such as the frozen download problem and the race
condition that prevented joining of simultaneously started downloads. Most
of the old functionality is unchanged, except for cache browsing.

Documentation

About: The man page suite, including man, apropos, and whatis consists of
programs that are used to read most of the documentation available on a
Linux system. The whatis and apropos programs can be used to find
documentation related to a particular subject.

Changes: This release fixed shell-unsafe verification, which was missing
the ampersand symbol, although this was being caught by another part of
the code. The POSIX locale was unified with the C one. Additional checks
were added for a defined but empty PAGER environment variable. whatis
files are no longer updated on read-only partitions. bzip support was
added to man2dvi and man2html. Experimental LZMA support was added to man

[024] - MathMap 1.3.0 (Unstable)
  by Mark Probst (http://freshmeat.net/users/schani/)
  Tue, Jan 1st 2008 11:39

Multimedia :: Graphics

About: MathMap is a GIMP plugin and a commandline tool which allows
distortion of images and animations specified by mathematical formulae.
For each pixel in the generated image, a script is evaluated which should
return a pixel value. The script can either refer to a pixel in the source
image or can generate pixels completely independent of the source. MathMap
not only allows the generation of still images but also of animations.

Changes: Filters can now call other filters and can be applied to images
to yield "virtual" images. The command line front-end has been improved.
The examples have been extended, and new examples have been added.

[026] - Object Shell 0.9.2
  by geophile (http://freshmeat.net/users/geophile/)
  Tue, Jan 1st 2008 23:14

Utilities

About: Object Shell (osh) is a tool that integrates the processing of
structured data, database access, and remote access to a cluster of nodes.
These capabilities are made available through a command-line interface
(CLI) and a Python application programming interface (API). Osh processes
streams of Python objects using simple commands. Complex data processing
is achieved by command sequences in which the output from one command is
passed to the input of the next. This is similar to composing Unix
commands using pipes, but not limited to passing strings.

Changes: Support for "running totals" was added to the agg command (with
the -r flag). Bugs were fixed.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: HTTP Servers

About: rpaf changes the remote address of the client on incoming proxy
requests. It is used in backend servers that needs to know the IP of the
client, and works in conjunction with mod_proxy_add_forward (which sets
the X-Forwarded-For header). When an X-Host header exists rpaf will take
the hostname found here, put it into Apache, and update the virtualhost
settings so that you can serve virtualhosts on the backend. It includes
modules for both Apache 1.3 and 2.0.

Changes: The ability to change which header Apache looks at was added.
With the configuration directive RPAFheader, you can now change the
default X-Forwarded-For to X-Real-IP if you so choose. There are also
bugfixes in this version that makes mod_rpaf work correctly with
Keep-Alive requests.

About: vnStat is a console-based network traffic monitor that keeps a log

environment variable "HOME" wasn't defined, which in turn caused most
PHP/CGI scripts using vnStat to malfunction. Some minor feature
enhancements are also included.

[044] - xterm patch #230
  by T.E.Dickey (http://freshmeat.net/users/tedickey/)
  Tue, Jan 1st 2008 01:56

Desktop Environment
Terminals :: Terminal Emulators/X Terminals

About: The xterm program is the standard terminal emulator for the X
Window System. It provides DEC VT102/VT220 and Tektronix 4014 compatible
terminals for programs that can't use the window system directly. If the
underlying operating system supports terminal resizing capabilities (for
example, the SIGWINCH signal in systems derived from 4.3bsd), xterm will
use the facilities to notify programs running in the window whenever it is
resized.

Changes: This release added options for sending function keys that match a
user-specified terminal description (including ncurses extended keys), and
for retaining primary selection even when the selection highlighting is
lost. There were several other new features, improvements, and bugfixes.
