by BpMatthias (http://freshmeat.net/users/BpMatthias/)
Fri, Jan 18th 2008 16:32

Communications :: Email
Communications :: Email :: Filters
Internet

About: DynaStop is a utility to examine IPv4 based addresses for Exim and
procmail for the purpose of filtering based upon patterns defined by the
administrator. This can be a pivotal factor in email filtering and server
load management, since dynamic IP addresses are typically used for
dial-up, DHCP, and DSL accounts. All of which have a designated mail
exchange server through which all outbound mail flows as defined with
many, if not most, large Internet service providers.

Changes: This release can filter obvious spam subjects. Email filtered by
subject returns a NoMail code. Extreme care does need to be used, as this
can also wipe out your email if your patterns are too vague. Subject
filtering is considered beta. Code clean up: signals are now more
portable, and example configuration files have been updated.

[032] - PyChess 0.8 beta4
by Lobais (http://freshmeat.net/users/Lobais/)
Fri, Jan 18th 2008 07:35

Desktop Environment :: Gnome
Games/Entertainment :: Turn Based Strategy

About: PyChess is a fully featured chess client mostly targeting the GNOME
desktop. It also contains a Python-based chess engine inspired by Gnu
Chess.

Changes: This release adds Toga 2 to supported UCI engines and adds
translations from Rosetta. It fixes problems which killed the second
started engine in some Python versions, made engines freeze on pausing,
and made engines unable to "undo" in loaded games. It makes PyChess easier
to beat on easy levels, makes PyChess never resign (so that people have the
fun of mating), makes new games start more smoothly, makes opening files
from the commandline (or over HTTP) work better, and makes pgn-load errors
more informative.

[033] - Scannedonly 0.11
by Olivier Sessink (http://freshmeat.net/users/olivier/)
Fri, Jan 18th 2008 13:27

Security
System :: Networking

About: Scannedonly is a samba VFS module that ensures that only files that
have been scanned for viruses are visible and accessible to the end user.
Scannedonly was developed because of scalability problems with
samba-vscan. Scannedonly comes in two parts: a Samba VFS module and (one
or more) daemons. The daemon scans files and marks them when they are
known to be clean. The samba module simply filters out files that aren't
marked clean.

Changes: The scannedonly samba VFS module features new options to make it
look like scannedonly does on-access scanning as long as the file is small
enough to be scanned within a certain timeout. The clamav daemon,
furthermore, now automatically refreshes the clam database when required.

[035] - ucommon 1.3.3
by David Sugar (http://freshmeat.net/users/davidsugar/)
Fri, Jan 18th 2008 10:35

Software Development :: Libraries

About: UCommon is a lightweight C++ library to facilitate using C++ design
patterns even for very deeply embedded applications, such as for systems
using uClibc along with POSIX threading support. For this reason, UCommon
disables language features that consume memory or introduce runtime
overhead. UCommon introduces some design patterns from Objective-C, such
as reference counted objects, memory pools, and smart pointers. UCommon
introduces some new concepts for handling of thread locking and
synchronization.

Changes: Extended use of asserts to validate API parameters and
pre-conditions. Better support and changes for NetBSD, for older versions
of GCC, OpenBSD, and for supporting uclibc Linux kernel targets.
