[001] - Absimpa 88
by Harald Kirsch (http://freshmeat.net/users/pifpafpuf/)
Thu, Jan 1st 2009 21:02
Software Development :: Compilers
Text Processing :: General
About: Absimpa is a Java class library that provides a recursive decent
parser. It is an experiment in abstraction and Java generics. It tries to
include only the essentials of what makes out a parser and to leave out, or
rather leave free for specification, what is not relevant for the parsing
process.
Changes: While the interface has nearly no changes, the package underwent
major refactoring. In particular, an example package was extracted from the
tests to serve as a hint of how the parser can be used. The documentation
was extended.

Thu, Jan 1st 2009 09:57
Communications :: File Sharing
Information Management
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
About: Ampache is a Web-based audio file manager. It allows you to view,
edit, and play your audio files via the Web. It has support for playlists,
artist and album views, album art, random play, playback via HTTP with
on-the-fly transcoding and downsampling, vote based playback, playback via
MPD and Icecast, an integrated Flash player, and per-user themes and song
play tracking. You can also link multiple Ampache servers together using
XML-RPC. Ampache supports gettext translations and has full translations
into many languages.
Changes: Genres have been removed and replaced with the concept of tags. A
single song, album, artist can now have many genres (tags) associated with
it. A caching system has been introduced, which drastically reduces the
number of queries made against the database. There have also been major
changes to the API's authentication method. All passwords, including the
API's are now encoded with SHA256().

About: BalanceNG is a modern software IP load balancing solution. It is
small, fast, and easy to use and setup. It offers session persistence,
different distribution methods (Round Robin, Random, Weighted Random, Least
Session, Least Bandwidth, Hash, Agent, and Randomized Agent) and a
customizable UDP health check agent in source code. It supports VRRP to set
up high availability configurations on multiple nodes. It supports SNMP,
integrating the BALANCENG-MIB with Net-SNMPD. It implements a very fast
in-memory IP-to-location database, allowing powerful location-based server
load-balancing.
Changes: A new boolean parameter, "strictrouting", has been added. If this
parameter is set to 1, only packets directed directly to the Layer 2 VRRP
address of the instance are accepted for NAT and IP forwarding (routing).

Thu, Jan 1st 2009 20:45
Home Automation
Multimedia
About: Data Crow is a movie, video, book, image, software, and music
cataloger/media manager. Data Crow uses MusicBrainz, Amazon, IMDb, and many
other Web services to retrieve the information for you. It is highly

your loans, allows you to create reports, enables you to create your own
modules (using wizards) and, most importantly, enables you to easily manage
all your collections.
Changes: This version contains bugfixes for platform security issues. Data
Crow did not detect whether the folder and file permissions were set
correctly. This could result in loss of data, as information could not be
written to the database. On startup, Data Crow will check these files for
their permissions and report back to the user in case of problems.

About: ns4 is a command line configuration management tool that runs on a
Unix or Windows based operating system. It allows the automated backup of
node (i.e. routers and switches) configurations to an FTP/SFTP server or
local media on a daily basis to create configuration archives. It can run
ad-hoc commands on multiple nodes as well as custom scripts for automating
complex tasks. It uses Perl and allows you to manipulate the output of
commands using regular expressions within scripts. Configuration based
cartridges are used to specify new node types, allowing the user to extend
its functionality in a simple and dynamic way.
Changes: This release fixes an issue where ns4 was printing out the
plaintext version of encoded strings when using the "detail" report option.

Scientific/Engineering :: Medical Science Apps.
About: nut is nutrition software to record what you eat and analyze your
meals for nutrient composition. The database included is the latest USDA
Nutrient Database for Standard Reference. This database contains values for
vitamins, minerals, fats, calories, protein, carbohydrates, fiber, etc.,
and includes the essential polyunsaturated fats, Omega-3 and Omega-6.
Nutrient levels are expressed as a percentage of the Daily Value, the
familiar standard of food labeling in the United States, but also can be
fully customized. Foods can be added from recipes or food labels, and
nutrient intake can be graphed. The program is completely menu-driven and
there are no commands to learn.
Changes: This release revises the default fatty acid reference values.

[036] - Pantheios 1.0.1 beta 177
by Dr Proctor (http://freshmeat.net/users/DrProctor/)
Thu, Jan 1st 2009 01:12
Software Development :: Libraries
System :: Logging
About: Pantheios is a C/C++ logging API library. It offers an optimal
combination of complete type-safety, very high efficiency, genericity, and
extensibility. It is simple to use and extend, highly portable (platform
and compiler independent), and it upholds the C tradition of only paying
for what you use. Pantheios supports logging of message statements of
arbitrary complexity, consisting of heterogenous types. Pantheios supports
filtering of log messages based on severity level.
Changes: This release now has full compatibility with VC++ 8+'s "Safe
String" library. It also adds the GNU printf-format attribute to
pantheios_logprintf() to enhance robustness when using the C API. Various
other minor adjustments to test and example programs were made, including
removal of use of deprecated functions.

Artistic Software
Multimedia :: Graphics
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Editors :: Vector-Based
About: Papyrus is a 2D C++ scenegraph (canvas) library that utilizes the
cairo library to perform drawing operations. Similar canvas libraries are
the Gnome Canvas, Diacanvas, and the QT Canvas. Numerous canvas primitives
are available, including arcs, rectangles, polylines, and line markers. An
optional companion library, Papyrusmm, provides a set of Gtkmm widgets
which includes viewports (a canvas display widget similar to
Gtk::DrawingArea) and other UI widgets related to drawing interfaces.
Changes: Several bugs are fixed, several unfixed bugs are introduced (feel
free to file bug reports), and many aspects have been simplified to use
newer Cairo features.

[038] - pdfposter 0.4.6
by Hartmut Goebel (http://freshmeat.net/users/htgoebel/)
Thu, Jan 1st 2009 17:47
Printing
Utilities
About: pdfposter can be used to create a large poster by building it from
multple pages and/or printing it on large media. It expects as input a PDF
file, normally printing on a single page. The output is again a PDF file,
maybe containing multiple pages together, thus building the poster. The
input page will be scaled to obtain the desired size. This is much like
poster does for Postscript files, but works with PDF instead, since
sometimes poster does not like your files converted from PDF. Indeed,
pdfposter was inspired by poster.
Changes: PDF files are now correctly read in binary mode.

[040] - rdiff-backup 1.2.4
by Andrew Ferguson (http://freshmeat.net/users/adferguson/)
Thu, Jan 1st 2009 20:54
System :: Archiving :: Backup
System :: Archiving :: Mirroring
Utilities
About: rdiff-backup backs up one directory to another. The target
directory ends up a copy of the source directory, but extra reverse diffs
are stored in a special directory so you can still recover files lost some
time ago. The idea is to combine the best features of a mirror and an
incremental backup. rdiff-backup can also operate in a bandwidth- efficient
manner over a pipe, like rsync. Thus you can use rdiff-backup and ssh to
securely back up to a remote location, and only the differences will be
transmitted. It can also handle symlinks, device files, permissions,
ownership, etc., so it can be used on the entire file system.
Changes: Remote restores were broken in 1.2.3. This release disables the
offending code for now.

[044] - TorrentInfo 1.0.2
by vrai (http://freshmeat.net/users/acherondevelopment/)
Thu, Jan 1st 2009 20:53
System :: Networking
About: TorrentInfo is a command line script that parses .torrent files and
displays the information contained within them. Currently, it can display a
summary of the whole torrent, information on each file within the torrent,
and a full hierarchical dump of the torrent file's contents.
Changes: This release fixes a problem with the default behavior (i.e.
displaying a brief summary of the torrent's contents) so that it is the
same regardless of whether color output has been disabled or not.
Previously, disabling color output would stop the summary from being
displayed by default, and instead only the torrent's filename would be
shown.
