[002] - Basic Local Alignment Search Tool 2.2.19
by imipak (http://freshmeat.net/users/imipak/)
Thu, Dec 18th 2008 08:37
About: BLAST is a set of similarity search programs designed to explore
all of the available sequence databases regardless of whether the query is
protein or DNA. It uses a heuristic algorithm which seeks local as opposed
to global alignments, and is therefore able to detect relationships among
sequences which share only isolated regions of similarity. It can be run
locally as a full executable, and can be used to run BLAST searches against
private, local databases, or downloaded copies of the NCBI databases. It
runs on Mac OS, Win32, LINUX, Solaris, IBM AIX, SGI, Compaq OSF, and HP- UX
systems.
Changes: The BLASTDB environment variable now supports multiple database
search paths. When possible, a smaller protein lookup table is used to
improve performance. formatrpsdb now supports creating databases larger
than 2G. seedtop now supports searches with gi lists. The X3 value for
blastn/megablast was corrected.

[003] - Big Faceless PDF Library 2.11

(http://freshmeat.net/users/faceless/)
Thu, Dec 18th 2008 06:50
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Presentation
Office/Business
About: The Big Faceless PDF Library is a Java class library for creating
PDF documents. The Extended Edition offers the ability to create and edit
AcroForms, PDF's answer to the HTML form. Like HTML forms, PDF forms can
contain text boxes, radio buttons, and can call JavaScript functions. The
Extended Edition also includes a PDF reader for importing and editing,
along with FDF support, verification for digital signatures and text
extraction. Both variations offer full Unicode support, encryption,
embedded TrueType and Type1 fonts, barcodes, hyperlinks, and spot and
calibrated color.
Changes: An incompatible change was made: for RadioButtons and CheckBoxes,
the "value" is now equal to the name given the field in Acrobat, rather
than its internal value (although these are often the same). This allows
multiple radio buttons with the same name to function correctly, and better
reflects what Acrobat does. WidgetAnnotation.get/setTextValue now simply
call get/setValue.

can include advanced searching capabilities, logs, photos, and personal
notes for any cache.
Changes: This version maps out cache locations. It provides advanced
searching capabilities. It has logging of caches, along with personal notes
and photos for each cache. It supports integration with GPSr's. The new

Multimedia :: Graphics :: Editors
Scientific/Engineering
Text Processing :: Markup :: TeX/LaTeX
About: The cb2Bib is a tool for rapidly extracting bibliographic
references from email alerts, journal Web pages, and PDF files. It
facilitates the capture of single references from unformatted and non
standard sources. Output references are written in BibTeX. Article files
can be easily linked and renamed by dragging them onto the cb2Bib window.
The cb2Bib permits editing and browsing of BibTeX files, searching of
references and the contents of linked files, and the addition of citations
into document editors.
Changes: This version includes a new module, Annote, meant to help writing
short notes that interrelate several bibliographic references. It converts
plain text notes, with minimal or no markup, to HTML pages with links to
the referenced documents.

[007] - CELT audio codec 0.5.1
by Jean-Marc Valin (http://freshmeat.net/users/jmvalin/)
Thu, Dec 18th 2008 07:09
Communications :: Conferencing
Communications :: Internet Phone
Communications :: Telephony
About: CELT (Code-Excited Lapped Transform) is an ultra-low delay audio
codec designed for realtime transmission of high quality speech and audio.
This is meant to close the gap between traditional speech codecs (such as
Speex) and traditional audio codecs (such as Vorbis).
Changes: This release fixes a number of issues with 0.5.0. Several cases
where the encoder could fail have been fixed, including one that could
cause memory corruption (and possibly a segfault). In addition, the VQ
search has been improved, which results in a small CPU usage reduction,
while fixing some quality problems with low frequency tones. Other than
that, there should be no significant quality changes.

Thu, Dec 18th 2008 08:38
Internet
Security
System :: Diagnostics
About: dietsniff is a tiny tool for analyzing traffic on a network. It's
not intended to replace well-known tools like tcpdump or ethereal. It's
intended for the case when a small and especially static sniffer is
required. Accordingly, it's also by far not that powerful, and is also
bound to Linux as a platform. While it doesn't use or need the libpcap, it
produces pcap-logs that can be analyzed by more sophisticated tools like
tcpdump or Ethereal.
Changes: Byte-order bugs in PCAP code were fixed and some small features
were added.

the Pixane image processing library.
Changes: This is the first official stable release. Since the last release
candidate, there has been only code cleanup and minor bugfixes. A race
condition has been fixed in the Win32/WinCE audio driver in the evodio
package, which caused a possible freeze when playing some WAV files. The
GPS API for Windows Mobile has been extended to return satellite positions
and turn GPS devices on/off. Using a container for Tk toplevel has been
improved on Windows Mobile. The Linux version has been rebuilt with
different optimization options.

annotation is not needed. In fact, there is no configuration needed at all.
Changes: Minor bugs were fixed. Exception/error handling was fixed (no
more Invocation). Some minor attributes and tags for forms were added.

Thu, Dec 18th 2008 14:21
Education
Scientific/Engineering :: Bioinformatics
Scientific/Engineering :: Chemistry
About: The massXpert software package is a mass spectrometry environment
for linear (bio-)polymers. It inherits all the innovations of GNU
polyxmass. It allows the detailed definition of new polymer chemistries in
the XpertDef module. These chemistry definitions are then used in the
desktop calculator-like mass calculator (XpertCalc) and in the
sophisticated polymer sequence editor and (bio-)chemical/mass spectrometric
simulations module (XpertEdit). Available simulations include polymer and
monomer chemical modifications, polymer sequence cleavage, gas-phase
fragmentation, m/z ratio calculations, and more.
Changes: Bugs were fixed and a feature improvement was made regarding
cleaving a polymer sequence asking that masses be computed with no charge
at all. There was a bug that would crash the program if another cleavage
was performed after a cleavage that would provide no oligomers. This has
been fixed.
