Third time is the charm

Section: freshmeat
Wed, Jan 21st 2009 20:00
As undoubtedly many of you have noticed, things have been fairly quiet on
the site development front here at freshmeat.net. During the past several
months, we've rethought some of the core concepts behind the site and
developed a new platform to operate upon. However, I'd like to seek active
participation of our loyal community in ironing out bugs, soliciting
feedback about design decisions we made, and ask for general suggestions
and improvements before we make the big switch in a little while. But let
me put some of my ideas and motivation behind this new version out in the
open first.

kernel-level sequencer, a full compatibility layer for OSS/Free
applications, an object-oriented C library which covers and enhances the
ALSA kernel driver functionality for applications (client/server, plugins,
PCM sharing/multiplexing, PCM metering, etc.), an interactive configuration
program for the driver, and some simple utilities for basic management.

through which all outbound mail flows as defined with many, if not most,
large Internet service providers.

geographical location). Popular proposals are found by searching on one or
more of these fields and then calculating the support for each proposal
based on the number of occurrences on the network.
Changes: A minor change was made to redirect output from x-www-browser to
/dev/null to avoid clogging the text user interface.

by lacos (http://freshmeat.net/users/lacos/)
Wed, Jan 21st 2009 06:44
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: This release adds support for testing by end-users in a portable
way.

large files. Moved, renamed, and duplicate files will not require
additional storage. Several computers can use the same storage for backup,
automatically sharing data. Both very large and very small files are
supported efficiently. Manent does not rely on timestamps of the remote
system to detect changes.
Changes: This release has fixes to make it work with Python 2.6.

Multimedia :: Graphics :: Animation
About: Moonlight|3D is a modeling and animation tool for three-dimensional
art. It currently supports mesh-based modeling. It's a redesign of
Moonlight Atelier, formed after Moonlight Atelier/Creator died in
1999/2000. Rendering is done through pluggable backends. It currently
supports Sunflow, with support for RenderMan and others in planning.
Changes: A bug that stopped Moonlight|3D from working on non-English
locales has been fixed. Also, various other bugs related to input checking
and grouped objects have been fixed. 3D views can now be reset to the 4
standard perspectives: front, right, top, and perspective. The Delete OG
Node tool can now delete almost any node from the graph.

[031] - Not Sexy Graph State Calculator 0.1
by Fastjack (http://freshmeat.net/users/adust/)
Wed, Jan 21st 2009 23:11
About: NSGSC (Not Sexy Graph State Calculator) can calculate graph states
that represent multi-qubit in quantum computing. In quantum computing, a
graph state is a special type of multi-qubit state that can be represented
by a graph. Each qubit is represented by a vertex of the graph, and there
is an edge between every interacting pair of qubits. In particular, they
are a convenient way of representing certain types of entangled states.
Graph states are useful in quantum error correcting codes, entanglement
measurement and purification, and for characterization of computational
resources in measurement-based quantum computing models.

Software Development
Software Development :: Quality Assurance
System :: Benchmark
About: Zoom is a low-overhead graphical and command line profiler for
Linux. A Zoom profile is system-wide, precise down to the instruction
level, and captures backtraces. This lets you see exactly what was running,
where time was spent, and how that code was called. Drill down into
critical code to get detailed performance data. Zoom analyzes and annotates
your code with specific tuning advice for many compilers and processors.
Share what you find with colleagues or archive it for later review. Zoom
saves profiles as a single, self-contained session file that can be emailed
or attached to bug reports. It also supports remote network profiling and
scripting.
Changes: This release adds support for external debug info files and
viewing of kernel/driver symbol code. Zoom now calculates symbol ranges for
code missing symbol information. Threads are shown with user-friendly names
based on root symbol names, and the display of symbol sizes has been added.
Hardware support has been added for Intel Atom and Core i7 processors.
Symbols from the vsyscall page (VDSO) are now shown. Fallback to OS timer
mode on unsupported hardware has been fixed. This release also includes
many other enhancements to code analysis, error reporting, stability, and
