[003] - Automated Testing Framework 0.6
by Julio M. Merino Vidal (http://freshmeat.net/users/jmmv/)
Sun, Jan 18th 2009 20:51
Software Development :: Quality Assurance
Software Development :: Testing
About: ATF is a collection of libraries and utilities designed to ease
unattended application testing in the hands of developers and end users of
a specific piece of software. Tests can currently be written in C/C++ or
POSIX shell and, contrary to other testing frameworks, ATF tests are
installed into the system alongside any other application files. This
allows the end user to easily verify that the software behaves correctly on
her system. Furthermore, the results of the test suites can be collected
into nicely-formatted reports to simplify their visualization and analysis.
Changes: The atf-check tool has been added, which executes a given command
and checks its exit code and output against pre-specified values. This is
mostly used internally by the shell interface. A new set of macros,
ATF_REQUIRE_*, has been added to the C interface to signal fatal errors,
while the old ones (ATF_CHECK_*) now only signal non-fatal errors. There
are several other internal changes to make test case timeout control more
robust, and multiple optimizations all around the code (especially in the
shell code).

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: The LDNS library has been upgraded to release 1.4.1. The
integrated IP to country database (ip-to-country.csv) has been upgraded to
the latest release. An RPM package for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server SLES10
SP2 and above is now available for the first time.

Sun, Jan 18th 2009 09:16
Education
Education :: Computer Aided Instruction (CAI)
Games/Entertainment
About: Brain Workshop is an implementation of the Dual N-Back mental
exercise. This exercise is a mental activity that has been scientifically
shown to improve your working memory (short-term memory) and fluid
intelligence. The game involves remembering a sequence of spoken letters
and a sequence of positions of a square at the same time. Brain Workshop
includes additional challenging game modes beyond Dual N-Back.
Changes: This release fixes a few bugs and adds some new configuration
options. Novice Mode was renamed to Jaeggi Mode. The data and res
directories can now be specified on the command line using the --datadir
and --resdir parameters.

by Sarah Fuller (http://freshmeat.net/users/Averna/)
Sun, Jan 18th 2009 15:27
About: CCMA is a simple, lightweight change request control manager. When
done consistently and accurately, change requests make a invaluable tool.
It's the aim of this project to make change request management easy and as
useful as possible.
Changes: A file download corruption problem was fixed. Various superficial
GUI issues were fixed. Missing or inconsistent links were fixed within the
asset menus for the admin login. Email notification a to user on new
account creation was added. The "new change request form" was modified to
have the local timezone as the initial default rather than just
alphabetical. The root user requirement for the installer was emphasized
with red text. The fact that the installer will attempt to install modules
via "CPAN" was emphasized to avoid confusion. An upgrade option was added
to the installer.

[008] - Ctalk 0.0.93a rc2
by thx1132 (http://freshmeat.net/users/kiesling3/)
Sun, Jan 18th 2009 15:14
Software Development :: Interpreters
Software Development :: Libraries
About: Ctalk is a compact object oriented language that adds classes,
methods, operator overloading, and inheritance to otherwise standard C

[009] - deco file extraction framework 1.6
by P. Hartlich (http://freshmeat.net/users/phartlich/)
Sun, Jan 18th 2009 15:08
System :: Archiving
About: deco is a command-line program that, together with the deco-archive
package, allows you to extract dozens of popular archive file formats. It
has a consistent interface ("deco 1.tar.bz2 2.rar 3.zip 4.flac 5.deb") and
consistent behavior (never deleting archives after extraction and
extracting relative to the current working directory, just verbosely
enough, all unless explicitly requested otherwise). It creates an
extraction directory if there is more than one file or directory at the
archive top level, and it is able to fix strange permissions.
Changes: The -k option has been removed, and its behavior is now the
default, which should lead to a nicer work flow. Use the new -c ("clean")
option to get the previous default of aborting extraction on error and
deleting partial contents.

[011] - Deliantra Server 2.76
by Marc A. Lehmann (http://freshmeat.net/users/pcg1/)
Sun, Jan 18th 2009 16:32
Games/Entertainment
Games/Entertainment :: Multi-User Dungeons (MUD)
Games/Entertainment :: Role-Playing
About: Deliantra is an advancement of the crossfire multi-user RPG game.
Unlike the original project, it focuses mainly on stability and
playability, but also adds modern technology such as map scripting, Perl
server extensions, asynchronous I/O, higher resolution graphics, and better
client support.
Changes: The lamps and torches were completely redesigned and rebalanced,
and cursed lamps and torches will now explode. Applying unpaid items will
examine them now, to improve in-game documentation, and shortened item
names will end in "...". A "What" column has been added to the body
command, showing items in that slot. Bad assignment of crafting skills and
their tools has been fixed.

[017] - ImgMod3 1.2.0
by Priit Järv (http://freshmeat.net/users/tiirp/)
Sun, Jan 18th 2009 16:31
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Editors :: Raster-Based
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Graphics Conversion
About: ImgMod3 is a simple image cropping, scaling, and modification tool.
It is built with a single purpose: to be able to handle a large number of
files quickly, while retaining manual control. It uses PIL for the image
processing operations and wxPython as the user interface toolkit. By
cramming its basic feature set in a single window and automating repetitive
actions, ImgMod3 aims to be easier to use than a full featured graphics
program. Key features are automatic scaling to target size and full access
to functionality through keyboard shortcuts, minimizing the need for the
mouse.
Changes: Support for saving files in PNG format was added. Optional
non-linear controls were added to extend the available range of several
image processing operations. Windows IPC functionality was improved to
remove arbitrary limits from the number of files that can be passed to the
program.

[018] - Lbzip2 0.10
by lacos (http://freshmeat.net/users/lacos/)
Sun, Jan 18th 2009 21:06
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: Testing on a 128-core HP SuperDome showed a known bottleneck in
the multiple-workers decompressor to be significant on many-core machines:
whenever there were fewer input blocks than cores, the work was distributed
unevenly. Hence, the splitter-to-workers queue of "scan and decompress"
tasks was replaced with two queues: a low priority, splitter-to-workers one
of "scan" tasks, and a high priority, workers-to-workers one of
"decompress" tasks. Alas, this also increased the number of context
switches. The new worker broadcast conditions were formally proven in the
comments.

[019] - Lilith Logback event viewer 0.9.34
by huxhorn (http://freshmeat.net/users/huxhorn/)
Sun, Jan 18th 2009 21:01
About: Lilith is a logging and access event viewer for the Logback logging
framework. It has features comparable to Chainsaw, a logging event viewer
for log4j. This means that it can receive logging events from remote
applications using Logback as their logging backend. It uses files to
buffer the received events locally, so it is possible to keep vast amounts
of logging events at your fingertip while still being able to check only
the ones you are really interested in by using filtering conditions.

[025] - OberFS 0.0r9
by John Oberschelp (http://freshmeat.net/users/oberschelp/)
Sun, Jan 18th 2009 21:07
System :: Filesystems
About: OberFS is an OS-agnostic file system. Its goal is to be two to ten
times faster than filesystems such as NTFS and Ext2. OberFS stores all file
metadata in RAM. There are virtually no system requirements to develop
OberFS, as its emulator is console based, and file I/O can be emulated in
RAM for testing. More realistic testing requires an available partition.
Changes: In preparation for testing against the Connectathon Test Suite
one test at a time, this release adds hard links and a link/unlink test, as
well as code cleanup and organization. Code is still early
proof-of-concept.

About: Play it slowly is a program to play back audio files at a different
speed or pitch. It allows you to loop over a certain part of a file. It's
intended to help you learn or transcribe songs. It can also play videos
thanks to gstreamer.
Changes: This release fixes all known bugs. The state of the UI is now
saved when the application is closed. The speed scale allows more accurate
steps of 0.05, and the pitch scale is now using semitones as units. There
is a new command line argument called --sink.

[030] - POWDER 110
by Jeff Lait (http://freshmeat.net/users/jmlait/)
Sun, Jan 18th 2009 14:48
Games/Entertainment :: Role-Playing
About: POWDER is a Roguelike game. It was written initially for the
Gameboy Advance, but was since ported to the DS, Linux, Windows, and Mac.
It is fully graphical and can be played solely with a stylus or a mouse.
Changes: Spell icons will grey out when you cannot cast them. Inventory
slots will change color depending on the blessed/cursed state of the item.
Hopefully this version will compile from source, even on gcc4.3 machines.

[031] - pppd-sql 0.6.0
by Maik Broemme (http://freshmeat.net/users/babyface/)
Sun, Jan 18th 2009 21:04
Communications
Software Development :: Libraries
System :: Networking
About: pppd-sql is a plugin for the Point-to-Point server (pppd) on Linux
and Solaris that adds an authentication backend using a MySQL or PostgreSQL
database for the Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) and
Password Authentication Protocol (PAP). It supports MS-CHAPv1 and MS-CHAPv2
too. The IPCP negotiation after authentication handshake is also supported.
pppd-sql supports a flexible configuration scheme, has built-in failover
functionality (no load-balancing), and comes with easy and handy
documentation.
Changes: This version includes support for concurrent connection handling
of single users across multiple tunnel servers. Six new configuration
options were added 'mysql-port', 'mysql-column-update', 'mysql-exclusive',
'pgsql-port', 'pgsql-column-update', and 'pgsql-exclusive'. The built-in
failover functionality was removed (it is impossible with the concurrent
connection handler, and should be made with separate database utilities).

[032] - REDUCE Computer Algebra System 20081231
by Francis Wright (http://freshmeat.net/users/fjwright/)
Sun, Jan 18th 2009 21:01
About: REDUCE is a system for doing algebra by computer that also supports
numerical approximation and interfaces to gnuplot to provide graphics. It
has a long and distinguished place in the history of computer algebra
systems. For comparison, other systems that address some of the same issues
but sometimes with rather different emphases are Axiom, Derive, Macsyma
(Maxima), Maple, Mathematica, and MuPAD.

[033] - Seed7 2009-01-18
by Thomas Mertes (http://freshmeat.net/users/thomas_mertes/)
Sun, Jan 18th 2009 21:05
Software Development :: Compilers
Software Development :: Interpreters
About: Seed7 is a general purpose programming language. It is a higher
level language compared to Ada, C++, and Java. In Seed7, new statements and
operators can be declared easily. Functions with type results and type
parameters are more elegant than a template or generics concept. Object
orientation is used when it brings advantages and not in places when other
solutions are more obvious. Although Seed7 contains several concepts of
other programming languages, it is generally not considered as a direct
descendant of any other programming language.
Changes: The savehd7.sd7 example program, which can be used to save a
potentially damaged hard disk partition to an image file, was improved. A
FAQ about compiling the Seed7 interpreter was added. The function
bigFileSize was added to bigfile.s7i. The functions file_size and file_type
were renamed to fileSize and fileType in seed7_05.s7i. The driver functions
cmdBigFileSize, cmdChdir, cmdFileType cmdFileSize, and cmdMkdir were
improved to use wide char (UTF-16) functions under Windows and normal
(UTF-8) functions under Unix/Linux/BSD. In big_rtl.c, the functions
bigFromUInt32 and bigFromUInt64 were fixed.

[034] - tcp_banner 1.0.0
by Wolf (http://freshmeat.net/users/offswn/)
Sun, Jan 18th 2009 21:01
Utilities
About: Tcp Banner allows you to place a banner message on a given port
(and IP). This is useful if you have moved an application to another port
or IP address. The inbound connection gets presented with the message you
define and then gets disconnected. This makes use of the socklib library.

[036] - tmux 0.6
by Nicholas Marriott (http://freshmeat.net/users/nicm/)
Sun, Jan 18th 2009 08:21
Terminals
Terminals :: Terminal Emulators/X Terminals
About: tmux is a "terminal multiplexer". It allows a number of terminals
(or windows) to be accessed and controlled from a single terminal. It is
intended to be a simple, modern, BSD-licensed alternative to programs such
as GNU screen.
Changes: Substitutions in status-left/right can show, for example, the
session name. Interactive window and session choice screens were added.
Vertical window splitting was added. Server locking and automatic locking
on inactivity are possible. A command-prompt command option was added to
accept an argument used to construct the command, and an interactive window
rename using this was added. Save-buffer and source-file commands were
added. Global window options and a flag to unset an option were added.
Completion and command history in command prompt were improved.

[037] - Tokyo Cabinet 1.4.0
by Mikio Hirabayashi (http://freshmeat.net/users/mikio/)
Sun, Jan 18th 2009 14:55
Database :: Database Engines/Servers
Software Development :: Libraries
About: Tokyo Cabinet is a library of routines for managing a database. It
is the successor of QDBM. Tokyo Cabinet runs very fast. For example, the
time required to store 1 million records is 1.5 seconds for a hash database
and 2.2 seconds for a B+ tree database. Moreover, the database size is very
small. For example, the overhead for a record is 16 bytes for a hash
database, and 5 bytes for a B+ tree database. Furthermore, the scalability
of Tokyo Cabinet is great. The database size can be up to 8EB.
Changes: The table database API was added. It manages a database of
records of named columns. Functions with sub-indexes are also provided and
they improve performance of complex queries.

About: transcode is a text console video-stream processing tool. It
supports elementary video and audio frame transformations. Some example
modules are included to enable import of MPEG-1/2, Digital Video, and other
formats. It also includes export modules for writing to AVI files with
DivX, OpenDivX, XviD, Digital Video or other codecs. Direct DVD transcoding
is also supported. A set of tools is available to extract and decode the
sources into raw video/audio streams for import and to enable
post-processing of AVI files.

[039] - Weblog 2.0
by Henry (http://freshmeat.net/users/Henry8/)
Sun, Jan 18th 2009 09:17
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: News/Diary
About: Weblog is a blog publisher. It takes structured text files as input
and outputs static HTML and RSS files. It aims to be simple and robust.
Changes: weblog.ini has been replaced by config.py, which is a Python
script. URLs have changed. Spaces have been replaced with underscores. You
can also choose the encoding for filenames, resulting in nicer URLs for
languages which use non-ASCII characters. Graphical customization is now
done by directly modifying the templates. Weblog has a nicer default look.
"html_head", "html_header", and "html_footer" are no longer supported.
Bugfixes and documentation enhancements were also made.

[040] - Zero Install Injector 0.38
by Thomas Leonard (http://freshmeat.net/users/tal197/)
Sun, Jan 18th 2009 14:51
Internet
System :: Archiving :: Packaging
System :: Software Distribution
About: The Zero Install Injector makes it possible for users to install
software easily and without the need for root privileges. It takes the URL
of a program's interface description and chooses suitable versions of the
program and all of its dependencies (also identified by URLs) according to
the user's policy settings (eg. "stable", "testing", "minimal network use",
etc). The chosen versions are downloaded and cached and the program is run,
using environment variables to let it find the components.
Changes: When unpacking lzma-compressed archives, the unpacker is now
fetched through Zero Install if necessary. A new "audit" command allows the
integrity of all cached software to be checked at once. If running software
using sudo, 0launch no longer leaves root-owned files in the user's home
directory. Various bugs were fixed.
