Desktop Environment :: K Desktop Environment (KDE)
Multimedia :: Video
Multimedia :: Video :: Conversion

About: 'Q' DVD-Author is a GUI frontent for dvdauthor and related tools.
The goal is to provide an easy-to-use, yet powerful and complete interface
to generate DVD menus, slideshows, and videos to burn on a DVD under Linux.

Changes: The --system-path switch was added to the configure script and
the GUI. A crash bug with newer ffmpeg libraries was fixed.

[003] - Asymptote 1.57
by John Bowman (http://freshmeat.net/users/jcbowman/)
Sun, Dec 14th 2008 15:07

Education
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Editors :: Vector-Based
Scientific/Engineering

About: Asymptote is a powerful descriptive vector graphics language for
technical drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like
syntax. It provides for figures the same high-quality level of typesetting
that LaTeX does for scientific text. Asymptote is a programming language as
opposed to just a graphics program. It can exploit the best features of
script (command-driven) and graphical user interface (GUI) methods.
High-level graphics commands are implemented in the language itself,
allowing them to be easily tailored to specific applications.

Changes: The pdflatex texengine was fixed. The default MSDOS "start-in"
directory is now %USERPROFILE%, for compatibility with the MS Windows Vista
operating system. Temporary files are now generated in the directory
specified by the -outname (-o) command-line option, so that write access to
the current directory is no longer required. Various font size problems
were fixed. The axis coverage calculation was improved. An object(Label,
envelope, ...) constructor was added, along with support for object
transformation and alignment. Clipping is now allowed across page
boundaries.

[005] - Bluefish 1.3.0 (Development)
by Olivier Sessink (http://freshmeat.net/users/olivier/)
Sun, Dec 14th 2008 18:19

Text Editors
Text Processing :: Markup

About: Bluefish is a programmer's Web development editor written using
GTK, designed to save the experienced webmaster some keystrokes. It
features a multiple file editor, multiple toolbars, custom menus, image and
thumbnail dialogs, open from the Web, CSS dialogs, PHP, HTML, Java, C, and
XML support, external program integration (tidy, weblint, make, javac), and
lots of wizards.

Changes: A new development release, and the first release in the 1.3.*
branch. The 1.3 branch will lead the development to the 2.0 release of
Bluefish. The 1.3 branch has the new (faster) editor widget with
auto-completion, integrated reference help, and much more. It no longer
requires GnomeVFS, since all (remote) file code has been ported to
GIO/GVFS.

[006] - Clue 0.5
by David Given (http://freshmeat.net/users/dgtaocouk/)
Sun, Dec 14th 2008 23:55

Software Development :: Compilers

About: Clue is an experimental ANSI C compiler that targets high level
dynamic languages like Lua, JavaScript, Python, and Perl. It is designed to
be very easy to adapt to new targets. It is currently under development and
is more interesting than useful, although it is complete enough to run

[007] - CocoXml 0.9.1
by charles wang (http://freshmeat.net/users/charlesw/)
Sun, Dec 14th 2008 14:47

Software Development :: Code Generators
Software Development :: Compilers

About: CocoXml is a combination of programming language scanner/parser
generator (defined by .atg) and XML language scanner/parser generator
(defined by .xatg). And the generated sources can be updated by updating
the .atg or .xatg.

Changes: All sources were reimplemented in pure C. The original Coco
grammar was integrated with the original CocoXml grammar into one binary,
and they are distinguished by extension. The algorithm was split from
output schemes completely, so the algorithm should not need to be
reimplemented by the target programming language anymore. The "dump", "c",
and "cxml" output schemes are supported. An ebuild for gentoo users is
provided.

About: Comix is a user-friendly, customizable image viewer. It is
specifically designed to handle comic books, but also serves as a generic
viewer. It reads images in ZIP, RAR, or tar archives (also gzip or bzip2
compressed) as well as plain image files. It is written in Python and uses
GTK+ through the PyGTK bindings.

Changes: This version contains updated translations for Croatian, Polish,
Russian, and Simplified Chinese, as well as a new preference to flip pages
when scrolling of the edge of a page.

[010] - Ctalk 0.0.90a
by thx1132 (http://freshmeat.net/users/kiesling3/)
Sun, Dec 14th 2008 23:54

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.

Changes: This release adds an updated ANSITerminalStream class. It has
internal improvements that include class library and method lookups for
complex instance and class variables and their superclasses, better
accounting of Collection object references, and improved, platform-specific
reference decoding for all object classes.

Software Development :: Libraries

About: cx_Oracle is a Python extension module that allows access to
Oracle, and conforms to the Python database API specifications. This module
is currently built against Oracle 9.2, Oracle 10.2, and Oracle 11.1.

Changes: This release adds full support for Unicode and Python 3.0. It
also improves extensibility by allowing hooks which can change the way data
is passed between the database and Python. Support was also added for the
interval day to second data type and database resident connection pooling
(DRCP) in Oracle 11g.

[012] - DynaStop 08333.1634-507
by BpMatthias (http://freshmeat.net/users/BpMatthias/)
Sun, Dec 14th 2008 18:02

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: Updated example config files: BleedingThreats, WhiteList,
DropList, VirusList, and UnsubList.

[013] - Einarc 1.3
by GreyCat (http://freshmeat.net/users/greycat/)
Sun, Dec 14th 2008 14:53

Software Development :: Libraries
Software Development :: Libraries :: Ruby Modules
System :: Archiving

About: Einarc is a universal storage RAID command line interface and an
API that provides management for various hardware/software RAID devices,
uniting them all in a single paradigm. Einarc works as a translator that
makes it possible for a user to control all these devices using simple
terms like "physical disc", "logical disc", "adapter", etc., while
transparently converting these requests to proprietary RAID paradigms.

Changes: Support for 3ware / AMCC controllers was added. Linux software
RAIDs got full read/write support. All proprietary utilities referenced in
Einarc were checked and corrected for their URLs and version numbers.
Multiple wrapper regular expressions were fixed to support new versions of
CLIs. New calculated fields were added in adapter_info: PCI
product/subproduct and vendor/subvendor IDs. Support for BBU in Adaptec
adapters was enhanced. Multiple stability and build fixes were made.

by Istvan Varga (http://freshmeat.net/users/istvanv/)
Sun, Dec 14th 2008 17:58

System :: Emulators

About: ep128emu is a portable emulator of the Enterprise 128 computer
supporting Windows and POSIX platforms (32-bit Windows, and 32- and 64-bit
Linux have been tested). It implements accurate, high quality hardware
emulation, but the system requirements are higher than that of most other
emulators.

Changes: Various improvements have been made to the debugger and the
installer. FILE: is now the default device on startup when using the
epfileio.rom extension. Floppy drive emulation improvements. In the memory
configuration, ROM files can also be loaded to segments 40h to 43h. Video
display improvements and bugfixes. Some NICK emulation fixes. Screenshots
are saved in BMP format now, instead of TGA. Various user interface
improvements. A new 'Gtk+' GUI theme. A number of minor bugs have been
fixed.

[015] - FastFormat 0.2.1 (beta 4)
by Dr Proctor (http://freshmeat.net/users/DrProctor/)
Sun, Dec 14th 2008 06:27

Software Development :: Internationalization
Software Development :: Localization

About: FastFormat is a C/C++ output and formatting library whose design
parameters are complete type-safety, efficiency, genericity, and
extensibility. It is simple to use and extend, highly portable (to any
platform or compiler), and it upholds the C tradition of you only pay for
what you use. FastFormat supports output and formatting of statements of
arbitrary complexity, consisting of heterogeneous types. FastFormat writes
to output "sinks", which can be of arbitrary type.

Changes: This release adds implicit link support for Intel 10 and 11,
ensures no-namespace compatibility for all stock sinks, enhances the
scratch test to the vectored_file sink, and ensures that all VS98 project
files are represented appropriately in the workspaces.

[016] - feresPost 3.2.7
by feresPost (http://freshmeat.net/users/feresPost/)
Sun, Dec 14th 2008 18:03

Scientific/Engineering

About: feresPost is a Ruby extension that provides the definition of
classes and modules devoted to the development of automated post-processing
for Nastran or Samcef finite element results. The library allows easy
manipulation of finite element models, groups, and results. Efficient
post-processing is possible because the time-consuming operations are
written in C/C++.

Changes: A bug in the reading of Samcef bush results and a bug in the
writing of Groups in Patran session files have been fixed.

[017] - Free-SA 1.5.1
by Sapon Oleg (http://freshmeat.net/users/xsaper/)
Sun, Dec 14th 2008 06:26

Internet :: Log Analysis

About: Free-SA is tool for statistical analysis of daemons' log files,
similar to SARG. Its main advantages over SARG are much better speed
(7x-20x), more support for reports, and W3C compliance of generated
HTML/CSS reports. It can be used to help control traffic usage, to control
Internet access security policies, to investigate security incidents, to
evaluate server efficiency, and to detect troubles with configuration.

Changes: This release introduces a lot of fixes for bugs which appear on
Solaris and FreeBSD platforms. It should also improve Free-SA portability
to other platforms as well. The Solaris port was improved. A bug with the
"-d" option on the FreeBSD platform was fixed, as well as a bug which
produced a message of "sh: environment corrupt". Double compilation with
non-GNU versions of make was fixed. Small documentation and configuration
file updates were done.

[020] - GNS3 0.6
by GNS-3 Team (http://freshmeat.net/users/gns3dev/)
Sun, Dec 14th 2008 22:46

System :: Emulators
System :: Networking
System :: Systems Administration

About: GNS3 is a graphical network simulator that allows you to design
complex network topologies. You may run simulations or configure devices
ranging from simple workstations to powerful Cisco routers. It is based on
Dynamips, an IOS emulator which allows users to run IOS binary images from
Cisco Systems and Pemu, a PIXOS emulator to emulate PIX firewalls.

Changes: Users can change the workspace size, and draw rectangles and
ellipses. Annotations, rectangles, and ellipses can also be rotated.
Interface names are now included in the Generic Ethernet NIO list (on
Win32), and interfaces' labels can be created automatically. Multi-links
don't overlap anymore. The snapshot feature has been implemented. Export to
image can now export the whole workspace. There is a "collapse/expand all"
feature on the topology panel. You can specify an alternate config file
using --configdir parameters.

[023] - Instant Boot Server 1.0
by Bill Maas (http://freshmeat.net/users/billmaas/)
Sun, Dec 14th 2008 18:41

System :: Boot
System :: Installation/Setup
System :: Systems Administration

About: Instant Boot Server allows you to set up a Debian GNU/Linux chroot
environment and install a TFTP boot server onto it. Three "boot methods"
are provided, one for providing the clients with the Debian Installer, one
for providing an NFS root, and one for testing/playing with custom-built
kernels and initrd images. The boot server is started and stopped on
demand. The main program (shell script) is extensible, and may be used to
serve as a platform for adding other server types.

[024] - libkate 0.2.8
by ogg.k.ogg.k (http://freshmeat.net/users/oggkoggk/)
Sun, Dec 14th 2008 23:50

Multimedia
Software Development :: Libraries

About: Kate is a codec for karaoke and text encapsulation for Ogg. Most of
the time, this would be multiplexed with audio/video to carry subtitles,
song lyrics (with or without karaoke data), etc, but it doesn't have to be.
A possible use of a lone Kate stream would be an e-book. Moreover, the
motion feature gives Kate a powerful means to describe arbitrary curves, so
hand drawing of shapes can be achieved. This was originally meant for
karaoke use, but can be used for any purpose. Motions can be attached to
various semantics, like position or color, so scrolling or fading text can
be defined.

Changes: kateenc can now read an event's text from an external file. There
is new code in the UTF-8 decoder to protect against overlong sequences.
More tests have been added to make check.

[025] - MirBSD Korn Shell R36b
by mirabile (http://freshmeat.net/users/mirabile/)
Sun, Dec 14th 2008 13:03

System :: Shells

About: The MirBSD Korn Shell (mksh) is an actively developed successor of
pdksh (the Public Domain Korn Shell), aimed at producing a shell good for
interactive use, but with the primary focus on scripting. It is intended to
be portable to most *nix-like operating systems as long as they're not too
obscure. mksh incorporates improvements from OpenBSD and Debian, as well as
bugfixes and enhancements developed for the MirOS, FreeWRT, and MidnightBSD
projects. The emacs command line editing mode is UTF-8 capable, and Byte
Order Marks are ignored in scripts. The shell supports large files, as well
as all pdksh and some csh, AT&T ksh, and GNU bash features, is compatible
with the Bourne shell and POSIX (within limits), has no limit on array
sizes, and incorporates some other useful builtins and features. While
being already fast and small (without losing functionality), flags to make
it even smaller can be given at compile time. An interactive shell reads
"~/.mkshrc" on startup.

Changes: New ports were made for QNX, nwcc, and (an incomplete one) for
Haiku. A native LLVM build was added (with either llvm-gcc or clang).
autoconf-time compiler errors are hidden from build scanners. MKSH_SMALL
builds were shrunk even more. __typeof__ is not used. Statements can be
used as expressions. An alias expansion bug was fixed. bashiop use inside a
function was fixed. strings.h is pulled if it exists. Some format string
warnings, dead code, and casts were cleaned up. Lint hints were added. The
dot.mkshrc and regression test suite were optimized.

Sun, Dec 14th 2008 18:08

Security :: Forensics

About: Mobius Forensic Toolkit is a forensic framework written in
Python/GTK that manages cases and case items, providing an abstract
interface for developing extensions. Cases and item categories are defined
using XML files for easy integration with other tools.

Changes: The Spider Data Center extension handles datasources. This
release supports raw image files. The Case Model extension abstracts case,
case items, and datasources operations. Some minor bugfixes were made.

[027] - mp3fs transcoding FUSE filesystem 0.13
by David Collett (http://freshmeat.net/users/daveco/)
Sun, Dec 14th 2008 14:59

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Conversion
System :: Filesystems

About: MP3FS is a read-only FUSE filesystem that transcodes FLAC audio
files to MP3 on the fly when opened and read. It is useful to enable the
use of your FLAC collection with software and/or hardware that only
understands MP3s. It is also a novel alternative to traditional MP3 encoder
applications. Just use your favorite file browser to select the files you
want encoded, and copy them somewhere.

Changes: Minor features and bugfixes were added. Tagging support was
improved, including album art. A filesystem bug that prevented Apache from
indexing mp3fs directories was fixed.

[035] - Remote HellaNZB GUI 0.9.1
by NothernLights (http://freshmeat.net/users/NorthernLights/)
Sun, Dec 14th 2008 17:52

Communications :: Usenet News

About: Remote HellaNZB GUI is a small GTK+ application to control your
HellaNZB daemon. It's well integrated into your desktop. In a few clicks,
you can manage your remote (or local) queue: add NZB files from your
computer or from their newzbin.com ID, set priorities, see the progress of
your downloads, etc. Unlike other similar projects, this one can truly add
NZB files from your computer to your remote daemon; to do so, it copies
them through SSH. For Remote HellaNZB GUI to work you need a running
HellaNZB daemon; it does not configure it for you.

Changes: Bugfixes and new features on user requests. This version
introduces the SSH tunneling option to remotely and securely control your
HellaNZB daemon over the Internet. It also adds more XML-RPC threaded,
calls so the interface is more responsive. Finally, it adds a notification
area icon.

by Jacques PYRAT (http://freshmeat.net/users/jpyrat/)
Sun, Dec 14th 2008 06:21

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management

About: SPIP is an open-source, free publication system on the Internet,
mainly targeted at individuals, informal groups, and non-profit
organizations. It allows contributive writing and managing of Web sites
having a magazine-like structure (i.e., articles and short stories
contained in nested sections), while not needing any HTML skills (except
for defining the layout templates). There are many additional features:
public forums, petitions, keywords, syndication, an integrated search
engine, and more.

Changes: More translations were added. The private interface was unified
using AJAX. A programming interface for SQL Server (MySQL, Postgres,
SQLite) was added. New forms were added for using on the site in public and
private areas. The interface for documents and forums was improved. Several
databases can be accessed from a single skeleton. Models and pagination in
AJAX can be effected by simply adding a new criterion. Hierarchical URLs
were implemented. Automatic compaction of CSS and JavaScript files is done.
The filter system and automatic installer were ameliorated.

[044] - storebackup 2.0.1
by Heinz-Josef Claes (http://freshmeat.net/users/hjclaes/)
Sun, Dec 14th 2008 15:15

System :: Archiving :: Backup
System :: Archiving :: Compression

About: storebackup is a backup utility that stores files on other disks.
It includes several optimizations that reduce the disk space needed and
improve performance, and unifies the advantages of traditional full and
incremental backups. Depending on its contents, every file is stored only
once on disk. It includes tools for analyzing backup data and restoring.
Once archived, files are accessible by mounting filesystems (locally, or
via Samba or NFS). It is easy to install and configure.

Changes: The keepLastOfWeek option was ignored by storeBackupDel.pl if it
was set in the configuration file. Therefore, too many old backups were
deleted, but only if you use storeBackupDel.pl. This release also corrects
a long term minor bug in the progressReport option for statistical output.
