[001] - AgileWiki 0.3 beta (COODBMS)
by Bill la Forge (http://freshmeat.net/users/laforge49/)
Thu, Jan 31st 2008 13:08
Database
Documentation
Information Management
About: AgileWiki is a program that explores new knowledge representation.
It is an attempt to implement, at least in part, Norm Kashdan's Rolonic
Theory, a profoundly different approach to time and knowledge
representation. CowDb is a high-speed object store over which the next
generation of AgileWiki will be written. COODBMS is a Copy-on-write OODBMS
based on Rolonics.
Changes: COODBMS has been reworked to use the new CowDb API and is now
fully functional. COODBMS provides a means of organizing nodes into tree
structures and organizing those trees into non-cyclic graphs. The power of
COODBMS comes not from its capabilities but from its generic nature, as it
applies to virtually any application.

[002] - Bitgate Server Software Environment 0.8.0
by Ken Hollis (http://freshmeat.net/users/Tsuichi1/)
Thu, Jan 31st 2008 02:04
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: This release added H2 database support, htaccess support via an
internal database, various code optimizations, and more thread-safe
changes. Initial file post support was included.

[004] - Butterfly Container 1.9.10-beta
by Jakob Jenkov (http://freshmeat.net/users/jjenkov/)
Thu, Jan 31st 2008 13:17
About: Butterfly Container is a Java dependency injection container. It is
smaller, yet more flexible and easier to use than Spring, Pico, and Guice.
Instead of XML, Butterfly Container is configured using a simple,
flexible, Java-like configuration language. There are no external
dependencies.
Changes: This release provides a faster, more memory efficient script
parser, and makes it possible to plug in plain non-annotation,
non-reflection Java factories.

[005] - C++ Sockets 2.2.9
by Grymse (http://freshmeat.net/users/ah7207/)
Thu, Jan 31st 2008 08:05
Communications
System :: Networking
About: C++ Sockets is a cross-platform C++ wrapper for BSD-style sockets.
It implements the TCP, UDP, ICMP, and SCTP transport layer protocols.
Implemented application layer protocols are HTTP/HTTPS (using OpenSSL),
SMTP (server), and Ajp/1.3 (server). Features include transparent SOCKS4
client support and asynchronous DNS. Included in the library are a number
of HTTP client functions such as GET/PUT/POST, and also Web server
framework components.
Changes: A memory leak in TcpSocket was fixed. Potentially unsafe code in
the HTTP form data parser (HttpdForm) was fixed. A memory and resource
leak in HttpRequest was fixed. Ajp13Socket/HttpBaseSocket now creates a
copy of the HttpResponse instance when sending a response, to avoid
synchronization problems. An unnecessary call to shutdown() when
destroying a closed tcp socket was removed. A brief "INSTALL" document was
added.

[030] - Polyspool 0.2
by Mark Gannon (http://freshmeat.net/users/ctesias2/)
Thu, Jan 31st 2008 13:40
About: Polyspool combines the Common Unix Printing System, Ghostscript,
Samba, and a live Linux CD to create an easy-to-use open source print
spooler capable of supporting Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux clients.
Polyspool provides a simple Web interface and requires no knowledge of
Linux commands to successfully deploy. Because Polyspool uses the standard
PostScript driver bundled with the Windows operating systems and
Ghostscript to render the print job, only one driver needs to be installed
for any supported printer.
Changes: This release adds the ability to save and restore the
configuration to an available hard drive or USB disk. USB printers can now
be created with the make_printers utility. A new tool, ip_config, allows
the ip configuration (DHCP or manual) to be set up.

About: PSIworld (Programmable Scalable Interactive World) is a framework
that provides a set of libraries, utilities, and applications to ease the
implementation of dynamic artificial intelligence environments.
Specifically, the development of multi-agent applications is targeted. It
is designed in a generic manner so that various kinds of applications can
use it. This framework not only includes pure algorithm libraries for AI
computation tasks, but also a C/C++ library for distributed computation. A
server-client model also involves various, concurrent visualization methods
of distinct Agents or Societies.
Changes: Many exciting new features were included, such as aeolus/icarus
infrastructure improvements, many API additions including container and
discrete map support, preparations for the execution scheduler unit, and
lots of minor improvements and fixes.

[033] - rsyslog 3.11.0 (Development)
by Rainer Gerhards (http://freshmeat.net/users/rgerhards/)
Thu, Jan 31st 2008 10:26
System :: Logging
About: Rsyslog is an enhanced multi-threaded syslogd. Among other
features, it offers support for reliable syslog over TCP and RFC 3195,
writing to MySQL and PostgreSQL databases, fully configurable output
formats (including great timestamps), the ability to filter on any part of
the syslog message, and on-the-wire message compression. It is designed as
a drop-in replacement for stock syslogd and thus is able to work with the
same configuration file syntax. Of course, some enhanced features require
changing the configuration file, but in general, this should be fairly
easy.
Changes: Messages are written to disk if memory queues fill up or outputs
are too slow or unavailable. Transmission occurs when they are online
again. Outputs can be rate-limited and inputs slowed down if needed. Less
important messages can be discarded to prevent them from filling up
queues. Highly sophisticated, massively multithreaded algorithms are used.
Every aspect can be fine-tuned via configuration settings. This is a
recommended update for all development branch users, but it is not yet
recommended for important production machines.

[035] - Speech and Debate Timekeeper 2.2
by Jemmy Chen (http://freshmeat.net/users/jemmyc/)
Thu, Jan 31st 2008 02:02
About: Speech and Debate Timekeeper is a multi-platform debate timer for
various debate formats and individual events. It has speech order and time
limits preprogrammed for Policy, Lincoln-Douglas, Parliamentary, Public
Forum, World Schools, Karl Popper, and miscellaneous debate formats. It
also tracks prep time for both sides. All time limits are user adjustable.
These timers give visual and/or vocal time signals at user defined
intervals. At the end of each speech, cross-examination, or preparation,
the timer automatically sets itself to time the next thing that needs
timing at the push of a button.
Changes: An illustrated user manual is included with this release in PDF
format. The prep time for Lincoln-Douglas has been updated to 4 minutes.
This is the new rule for the National Forensics League since mid-2007. It
is now possible to display the prep times for both sides of a debate at
any time. This new feature is accessed through the View drop down menu.
Spoken time signals are turned on by default for policy debates only. For
all other events, time signals are silent by default, except for prep
times and the first and last minutes of constructive speeches in
parliamentary debates.
