[001] - advene 0.36
by Olivier Aubert (http://freshmeat.net/users/oaubert/)
Tue, Jan 6th 2009 13:28

Information Management :: Metadata/Semantic Models
Multimedia :: Video

About: Advene (Annotate Digital Video, Exchange on the NEt) is aimed at
providing a model and a format to share annotations about digital video
documents (movies, courses, conferences, etc.), as well as tools to edit
and visualize the hypervideos generated from both the annotations and the
audiovisual documents. Teachers, moviegoers, etc. can use them to exchange
multimedia comments and analyses about video documents. The project also
aims at studying the way that communities of users (teachers, moviegoers,
students, etc.) will use these self-publishing tools to share their
audiovisual "readings", and to envision new editing and viewing interfaces
for interactive comment and analysis of audiovisual content.

Changes: This version integrates the shotdetect application, and can
display an activity trace to provide a feedback about the current activity.
A new Edition history view displays the elements that were most recently
edited or created. Static views can be exported as static HTML files, so
that video analyses can be uploaded to a Web site. The Mac OS X version now
uses the gstreamer video player, which offers frame-by-frame navigation. A
summarized change list can be found in the changelog:

About: CitrusDB is a Web based customer care and billing solution that
uses PHP and a database backend to keep track of customer information,
operational CRM, services, products, billing invoices and credit cards, and
support information.

Changes: This release includes the ability to indicate a service as
carrier dependent, to show that it is sold through a third party who needs
separate notification when that service type is activated or deactivated.
The Account Activation tool has been removed in favor of the statusupdate
script. The statusupdate script will also email pastdue notices to
customers, as well as shutoff and cancel notices to customers with carrier
dependent services.

[006] - cutmp3 1.9.4
by labrum (http://freshmeat.net/users/labrum/)
Tue, Jan 6th 2009 13:34

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Editors

About: cutmp3 is a small command line MP3 editor. It lets you select
sections of an MP3 interactively or via a timetable and save them to

[010] - Easy Hosting Control Panel for Ubuntu 0.29
by bvidinli (http://freshmeat.net/users/bvidinli/)
Tue, Jan 6th 2009 00:20

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: HTTP Servers
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management
System :: Systems Administration

About: Easy Hosting Control Panel for Ubuntu is designed for hosting
multiple domains on a single machine. It aims to be easy to install and
use, simple, and functional. It currently supports Apache, DNS, MySQL, FTP,
and email configuration. It mainly uses the apt-get install system, so it
can be installed on any Debian-based distribution, including Ubuntu. It
features one-click installs, subdomains, password protected domains, email
forwarding, domain transfer to another user, multiple templates, server
backup and restore, and different menus for the server administrator,
reseller, and domain administrator.

Changes: The installer is improved. Bulk domain add: add all domains in a
single step, add multiple domains to an FTP account, add a domain to
existing FTP account, or add a MySQL database to an existing MySQL user and
vice-versa. Domain redirect to a URL. Introduction to the multi-server
concept: support for a separate MySQL server for users. Many minor bugfixes
and enhancements. Improvement to easy script installs, with 27
scripts/programs. English, Spanish, and Turkish files for the default
template are included.

[012] - Fotoxx 5.8
by kornelix (http://freshmeat.net/users/kornelix/)
Tue, Jan 6th 2009 17:27

Multimedia :: Graphics :: Editors
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Editors :: Raster-Based
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Viewers

About: Fotoxx is a program for improving digital photos. Navigate large
image collections using a pageable window of thumbnails. Create HDR (high
dynamic range) images by combining bright and dark images to improve detail
in both bright and dark areas. Create panoramas by joining overlapped
images. Adjust brightness and color intensity independently for different
underlying brightness levels. Rotate an image (level a tilted image or turn
90 degrees). Remove red eyes from electronic flash photos. Sharpen, resize,
crop, reduce noise, and change color depth. Warp an image by dragging the
mouse. Edit tags/keywords and search images by date or tags.

Changes: Visual feedback for brightness/contrast/color edits was made
faster. Erratic mouse drag in the warp function was fixed. Color balance
was separated from brightness/whiteness adjustments. A problem where the
last translation in a .po file sometimes had a comment appended was fixed.
Sharpen, blur, and noise reduction, when applied within an image area, can
now blend the boundaries. A modified "top hat" noise reduction method was
added, which is more effective for some types of noise.

Tue, Jan 6th 2009 13:29

Education

About: Guido van Robot, or GvR for short, is a minimalistic programming
language that provides just enough syntax to help students learn the
concepts of sequencing, conditional branching, looping, and procedural
abstraction. Its biggest strength is that it permits this learning in an

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries
Software Development :: Libraries :: Python Modules

About: IMDbPY aims to provide an easy way to access the IMDb's database
using a Python package. It is theoretically independent from the data
source (since IMDb provides two or three different interfaces to their
database). It is mainly intended for programmers and developers, but some
example scripts are included.

Changes: Searching for series episodes and support for dumping data in CSV
files were improved. Many bugs were fixed. Other minor improvements were
introduced. Some new versions of IMDbPY-based programs were released.

[021] - JOpt Simple 3.0-rc2
by Paul Holser (http://freshmeat.net/users/pholser/)
Tue, Jan 6th 2009 12:58

Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries

About: JOpt Simple is a simple, test-driven command line parser for Java
programs. It supports POSIX getopt() and GNU getopt_long().

Changes: This version supports Java 5 and greater only. Where appropriate,
existing API calls have been updated to use Java generics. The OptionSpec
interface was extracted and surfaced. OptionSpecs returned by the fluent
interface methods are used to retrieve arguments of the options they
represent in a type-safe manner. Some List parameter types and return types
of methods to Collection were relaxed. OptionArgumentConversionException no
longer drops the original cause on the floor, so OptionException can now be
created with a cause.

[022] - Lbzip2 0.09
by lacos (http://freshmeat.net/users/lacos/)
Tue, Jan 6th 2009 13:09

System :: Archiving :: Compression

About: Lbzip2 is a Pthreads-based parallel bzip2/bunzip2 filter, passable
to GNU tar with the --use-compress-program option. It isn't restricted to
regular files on input, nor output. Successful splitting for decompression
isn't guaranteed, just very likely (failure is detected). Splitting in both
modes and compression itself occur with an approximate 900k block size. On
an Athlon-64 X2 6000+, lbzip2 was 92% faster than standard bzip2 when
compressing, and 45% faster when decompressing (based on wall clock time).
Lbzip2 strives to be portable by requiring UNIX 98 APIs only, besides an
unmodified libbz2.

Changes: Now the Makefiles, with the help of the standard getconf utility,
select a programming environment, if there is one, in which large files are
supported.

[023] - Mandos 1.0.3
by Teddy (http://freshmeat.net/users/Teddy2/)
Tue, Jan 6th 2009 12:57

Security
Security :: Cryptography
System :: Boot

About: The Mandos system allows computers to have encrypted root file
systems and at the same time be capable of remote or unattended reboots.
The computers run a small client program in the initial RAM disk
environment which will communicate with a server over a network. All
network communication is encrypted using TLS. The clients are identified by
the server using an OpenPGP key that is unique to each client. The server
sends the clients an encrypted password. The encrypted password is
decrypted by the clients using the same OpenPGP key, and the password is
then used to unlock the root file system.

Changes: The server now tries to change to user and group "_mandos" before
falling back to trying the old values "mandos", "nobody:nogroup", and
"65534". Server startup no longer aborts even if no clients are defined in
clients.conf. Plugins named "*.dpkg-bak" are now ignored by the client. A
compilation failure on some architectures where the C compiler does not
recognize the "-z" option as a linker option was hopefully fixed.

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Players
Multimedia :: Video

About: MplayerXP is branch of the well-known mplayer which is based on a
new, thread-based core. The new core provides better CPU utilization and
improves performance of video decoding.

Changes: Many 64-bit related fixes were made. Widescreen scaling was
fixed. Ffmpeg's codecs were updated. New code was imported from mphq. The
xvid wrapper was reworked; now it supports xvidcore-1.1.3+. The divx-6
wrapper was reworked; now it supports divx-6.1.1+. ffmpeg's codecs now have
lowest priority during automatic codec selection. A bug regarding a
compilation error was fixed. Support for the IPv6 protocol and better
network configuration were added. libmpeg was upgraded to 0.4.1.

Tue, Jan 6th 2009 00:21

Communications

About: MQSSave is a simple Java program that saves messages read from an
MQSeries queue to a file.

Changes: Major code rewrites and cleanup. Binary data support. Removal of
obsolete TI swift batch mode support. A message skip option (-ms), a
message count option (-mc), a repeat count option (-rc), a character
convert option (-cc), a character set option (-cs), best effort mode
(-bem), and error message count have been added. Java 1.4 compatibility has
been fixed.

[026] - mxallowd 1.7
by sECuRE (http://freshmeat.net/users/sECuRE6/)
Tue, Jan 6th 2009 13:32

Communications :: Email :: Filters
Internet
System :: Networking :: Firewalls

About: mxallowd is a daemon for Linux Netfilter (using libnetfilter-queue)
and BSD pf (using pflog) which implements a slightly improved nolisting
mechanism. It requires your name server to be configured to return two MX
IP addresses, and the one with higher priority must not run a mail server
on port 25. mxallowd blocks attempts to connect to the mail server unless
the sender tries to connect to the first mail server before the second.
Since most spammers will attempt direct connections to each mail server,
they will be blocked.

Changes: mxallowd is now correctly started in the background. The pidfile
is written correctly (using O_TRUNC).
