[001] - cdrtools 2.01.01a54 (Development)
by Jörg Schilling (http://freshmeat.net/users/schily/)
Thu, Dec 25th 2008 19:00
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: CD Audio :: CD Ripping
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: CD Audio :: CD Writing
System :: Archiving
About: cdrtools (formerly cdrecord) creates home-burned CDs/DVDs with a
CDR/CDRW/DVD recorder. It works as a burn engine for several applications.
It supports CD/DVD recorders from many different vendors; all SCSI-3/mmc-
and ATAPI/mmc-compliant drives should also work. Supported features include
IDE/ATAPI, parallel port, and SCSI drives, audio CDs, data CDs, and mixed
CDs, full multi-session support, CDRWs (rewritable), DVD-R/-RW, DVD+R/+RW,
TAO, DAO, RAW, and human-readable error messages. cdrtools includes remote
SCSI support and can access local or remote CD/DVD writers.
Changes: The Atari MiNT enhancements are ready (except for the libscg code
for ATARI). This release can create and link shared cdrtools-libs on Linux.
A workround for a nasty gcc warning about sccsid has been introduced.
Libfind now correctly deals with ARG_MAX in case libfind bitsize differs
from the called program with -exec +. The RSCSI bus numer limit has been
raised to 1024 to allow the new Linux ATA mapping. Many new workarounds for
drive firmware bugs have been added to cdrecord. The cdrecord default
transfer size is again 63k because of Linux and Solaris kernel bugs.

[002] - CGIProxy 2.1beta19
by James Marshall (http://freshmeat.net/users/jamesmarshall/)
Thu, Dec 25th 2008 22:13
Communications :: File Sharing
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Browsers
About: CGIProxy is a Perl CGI script that acts as an Internet proxy.
Through it, you can retrieve resources that may be inaccessible from your
own machine. The user is kept as anonymous as possible from any servers.
HTTP and FTP are supported, and optionally SSL. Common uses include
censorship circumvention, VPN-like setups, anonymous proxies, personal
proxies, and others. Options include text-only browsing (to save
bandwidth), selective cookie and script removal, simple ad filtering,
access restriction by server, encoded target URLs and cookies,
configuration by end user, and much more (currently about 50 config
options). Javascript is fully supported, and Flash is partially supported.
An online demo is available.
Changes: Cookie support (including logins) has been improved. This release
works better with Safari, and a few other small bugs have been fixed.

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: The BleedingThreats, DropList, VirusList and UnsubList example
config files was updated.

by Jerome St-Louis (http://freshmeat.net/users/jerstlouis/)
Thu, Dec 25th 2008 11:45
Multimedia :: Graphics :: 3D Rendering
Software Development
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
About: The Ecere SDK is a cross-platform toolkit for building software
applications. It currently runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X (through
X11). With the Ecere SDK, you can develop applications once and deploy them
on all supported platforms alongside a lightweight runtime environment. It
introduces eC, an object oriented language derived from and fully
compatible with C, compromising neither runtime performance nor ease of
use. A built-in 3D engine supporting both Direct3D and OpenGL is fully
integrated.
Changes: The Ecere SDK is now Open Source under the revised BSD license.
An automatic bootstrapping/build system was implemented. Mac OS X and
PowerPC support was improved. A SQLite driver was added for the Ecere Data
Access system. New IDE configuration options enable the integration of
cross compilers. Lots of bugs were fixed. A tab control was added.

[009] - GemTcl 0.1.27
by Dov Grobgeld (http://freshmeat.net/users/dovg/)
Thu, Dec 25th 2008 11:46
About: GemTcl (Gtk Embedded Tcl) is a cross platform Tcl shell written in
Gtk. In addition to interactive use, it supports the creation of buttons
that may contain user-defined Tcl scripts. GemTcl also supports the loading
of Glade interfaces for which the callbacks of their buttons may be edited.
It may thus be considered as a rapid application development environment.
It is especially suited for control applications, and comes with an XML-RPC
controlled microscope simulator application to exemplify that.

Multimedia :: Graphics
About: isk-daemon is a standalone server capable of adding content-based
(visual) image searching to any image-related Web site or software. All its
services are exposed through an XML-RPC or SOAP interface.
Changes: This release fixes many memory leaks in the image processing
code. POST+XML API calls are no longer supported (this was previously
deprecated). mostPopularKeywords() has been removed. There are minor
documentation improvements. In-place dependencies have been removed;
everything is fetched with python setuptools now. XML-RPC is used by the
Gwt admin frontend. This release returns ints on values at
getDbDetailedList(). The JSON-RPC backend is no longer supported.

[012] - jfftw3 0.1
by Kai Gerd Schwebke (http://freshmeat.net/users/kschwebke/)
Thu, Dec 25th 2008 11:43
Scientific/Engineering :: Mathematics
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
About: jfftw3 provides JNI access to FFTW, an open source C library for
the computation of discrete Fourier transforms. jfftw3 consists of a thin
native wrapper for the FFTW 3.2 library. The wrapping covers FFTW's memory
allocation, basic planner interface, and wisdom handling. The native
wrapper is designed to support automatic JNI generation by gluegen into a
useful Java API providing the original procedural FFTW interface.
Changes: The procedural interface enables usage of FFTW (almost) in the
way documented for the FFTW C library. A more OO interface is desirable for
Java, however. This part of jfftw3 is not implemented yet. Some parts of
FFTW including the advanced and guru planner API are not yet covered, but
the wrapper is already useful for Java applications that need a fast and
reliable FFT library.

About: jHepWork is a full-featured object-oriented data analysis framework
for scientists. Jython macros are used to plot data, 1D and 2D histograms,
perform fit, etc. The program includes many tools for interactive
scientific plots in 2D and 3D. Data structures and data manipulation
methods integrated with Java and JAIDA classes combines remarkable power
with a very clear syntax. Programs written with jHepWork are usually very
short due to high-level constructs.
Changes: Export of graphics to images (EPS, PS, and PNG) is significantly
improved for HPlot and Hplot3D canvas. I/O was improved. Almost all objects
(1D and 2D histograms, functions, and arrays (P0D, P1D, and PND) can be
saved and restored using Java serialization. Objects can also be saved in
XML form. The code was cleaned up.

[014] - Kernel Mode Linux 2.6.28_001 (For Linux 2.6)
by Toshiyuki Maeda (http://freshmeat.net/users/tosh/)
Thu, Dec 25th 2008 03:09
System :: Operating System Kernels
System :: Operating System Kernels :: Linux
About: Kernel Mode Linux is a technology which enables the execution of
user programs in a kernel mode. In Kernel Mode Linux, user programs can
access kernel address space directly. Unlike kernel modules, user programs
are executed as ordinary processes (except for their privilege level), so
scheduling and paging are performed as usual. Although it seems dangerous,
the safety of the kernel can be ensured through such methods as static type
checking, software fault isolation, and so forth.
Changes: This release has been merged with the 2.6.28 Linux kernel.

Thu, Dec 25th 2008 03:08
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
Software Development :: Libraries :: Perl Modules
System :: Networking
About: Libev is a high-performance event loop for C (with optional and
separate interfaces for C++ and Perl), featuring support for I/O, timers
(relative and absolute, cron-like ones), signals, process status changes,
and other types of events. It has both a fast native API and libevent
emulation to support programs written using the libevent API. The libev
distribution consists of libevent with the core event handling parts
replaced by the libev embedded event loop. Differences to libevent include
higher speed, simpler design, more features, less memory usage,
embedability, and no arbitrary limits. libev supports epoll, kqueue,
Solaris event ports, poll, and select.
Changes: This release fixes a major bug in inotify support that could
cause libev to freeze on hash collisions. A number of minor bugs in inotify
support have been fixed as well. On Mac OS X, libev now falls back to
select, as 10.5 has broken poll too. embed watchers now automatically stop
and restart themselves if the embedding loop is forked, and as usual, the
documentation has been tweaked and improved.

System :: Monitoring
System :: Systems Administration
About: ps-watcher periodically a gets a list of process names via ps. A
configuration file specifies a list of Perl regular-expression patterns to
match the processes against. For each match, a Perl expression specified
for that pattern is evaluated. The evaluated expression can refer to
variables which are set by ps and pertain to the matched process(es),
including the amount memory consumed by the process, or the total elapsed
time. If the Perl expression for a matched pattern evaluates true, then an
action can be run such as killing the program, restarting it, or mailing an
alert.
Changes: This release corrects some small bugs and has been changed to
work on OS X Leopard.

by Sebastian Marsching (http://freshmeat.net/users/MajorTermi/)
Thu, Dec 25th 2008 19:01
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries
Security
System :: Networking
About: suPHP is a combination of an Apache module (mod_suphp) and an
executable which provides a wrapper for PHP. With both together, it is
possible to execute PHP scripts with the permissions of their owner without
having to place a PHP binary in each user's cgi-bin directory. suPHP
doesn't need Apache's suExec, and provides a logging function.
Changes: This release brings some long expected features like syntax
highlighting for PHP code and variables (e.g. user name or home directory)
in configuration directives. It also fixes some minor bugs causing warnings
at build time.

[029] - The Powered Access Bible 1.2 (Development)
by Jonathan Hayward (http://freshmeat.net/users/jonathanhayward/)
Thu, Dec 25th 2008 11:43
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Religion
About: The Powered Access Bible is a CGI script designed to facilitate
finding verses and reading them in context, minimizing the usual mousework.
It divides the screen into a search frame and a reading frame, and clicking
on a search reference will load its context in the reading frame. All
executable code is available under the user's choice of the Artistic, GPL,
or MIT license, and the translations used are all free for non-commercial
use.
Changes: This release features several minor tweaks geared at page weight
and usability. Parts of the project other than the translations (i.e.
executable code, etc.) are available under the MIT license as well as the
previously available Perl license.

Software Development :: Libraries
Text Processing :: Markup :: XML
About: The WBXML Library is a C library for handling WBXML (Wireless
Binary XML) documents. It consists of a WBXML parser (with a SAX-like
interface), and a generic WBXML encoder. The following languages are
supported: WML 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 / WTA 1.0 / WTA-WML 1.2 / CHANNEL 1.1,
1.2 / SI 1.0 / SL 1.0 / CO 1.0 / PROV 1.0 / EMN 1.0 / DRMREL 1.0 /
Ericsson-Nokia OTA Settings v7.0 / SYNCML 1.0, 1.1 / Wireless Village CSP
1.1, 1.2.
Changes: libwbxml is now maintained by the OpenSync project. The build
system has been switched to cmake from GNU autotools. Tests were integrated
and can be used via "make test". A couple of issues with SyncML are fixed.
There are miscellaneous build fixes and anonymous document support. There
is a fix for wrong doctype detection. The inclusion of expat and iconv
header files was moved to an internal header file. The configuration
parameters that are relevant for users are placed in wbxml_config.h. SO
naming has been fixed.

[032] - Xtables-addons 1.7
by Jan Engelhardt (http://freshmeat.net/users/jengelh/)
Thu, Dec 25th 2008 19:13
System :: Networking :: Firewalls
About: Xtables-addons is a package that obsoletes the old patch-o-matic
repository for the Linux kernel and iptables. Instead of patching the
kernel source, extensions are built as modules and thus allow extending
kernels without recompilation.
Changes: The SYSRQ extension now uses cryptographic authentication (SHA-1
by default). A bug where ipset was unconditionally installed has been
fixed.
