by John Bowman (http://freshmeat.net/users/jcbowman/)
Sat, Jul 2nd 2005 23:32
Education
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Editors :: Vector-Based
Printing
About: Asymptote is a powerful script-based vector graphics language for
technical drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like
syntax. It provides for figures the same high-quality level of typesetting
that LaTeX does for scientific text. It is a programming language as
opposed to just a graphics program, allowing it to exploit the best
features of script (command-driven) and graphical user interface (GUI)
methods. High-level graphics commands are implemented in the language
itself, allowing them to be easily tailored to specific applications.
Changes: Initializers for structures and general cast operators can be
specified. Functions can be called with named (keyword) arguments in any
order. Rest arguments are supported. Size and aspect ratio arguments,
which may be specified with "size", were removed from "shipout". The tick
routines were standardized; custom tick locations and arrows on axes were
implemented. The default frame initializer nullframe was renamed to
newframe. A segmentation fault in the file garbage collection code and an
optimization-related bug in fill were fixed.

Communications
Information Management
Information Management :: Records Management
About: Magellan Metasearch is a modular meta search engine, enabling users
to monitor as many search engines as they want. It provides a complex query
language with standard boolean operators, meta-operators (to search through
pages' metadata), and proximity operators. This language enables users to
perform far more complex queries than what common search engines currently
support. It can be fed any custom sources, since its abstraction layer
manages the search results and their meta tags in a uniform way. In
conjunction with the local process scheduler (such as "cron"), Magellan
enables you to save your requests and replay them later automatically; new
results are sent through email and RSS in realtime. Magellan also provides
full anonymity through smart multi-proxy support.
Changes: The Yahoo! News and Google News drivers have been improved in

[044] - ReleaseForge 0.8.6
by Phil Schwartz (http://freshmeat.net/users/phil_schwartz/)
Sat, Jul 2nd 2005 11:58
About: ReleaseForge is a GUI application designed for project
administrators and release engineers of projects that are hosted at
SourceForge. It is intended to make it easier and faster to create a new
release and edit existing releases rather than using the SourceForge Web
interface. It streamlines the release effort by prompting you for
information regarding your new release (version info, change log, release
notes, files to include, etc). It then seamlessly negotiates with the
SourceForge Web server, creating your release, posting your release
notes/change log, uploading your files to the SourceForge FTP server,
selecting the files for inclusion in your release on the SourceForge Web
server, updating the file attributes of each of the files and then, if
appropriate, notifying monitoring users of the new release.
Changes: A threading issue was discovered in 0.8.5 (only). This may have
only affected some Windows users. If ReleaseForge 0.8.5 appeared to hang
during the file upload process, then you were affected by this bug. If you
have not yet used 0.8.5 yet, it is also recommended that you download this
new version in order to prevent future problems.

About: wyoEditor is a cross-platform editor based on the Scintilla editor
component. The editor has the usual features like fast editing, unlimited
undo/redo, syntax colouring, and folding for many different programming
languages. It also has a class browser, currently only for C++, and keeps
the class/function display updated. The editor allows editing of files in
tabbed notebook pages and/or separate top level windows. It supports
context-sensitive help of any kind of documentation (e.g. programming
framework descriptions) if provided as help files. The editor conforms to
the wyoGuide guidelines using the wxWidgets framework.
Changes: This is an update to wxScintilla 1.64.0 and has the superb new
sticky position handling of the caret.

System :: Archiving
About: XArchive is a generic front-end that uses external wrappers around
command line archiving tools. The program consults a wrapper directory at
start up to see what types of files it supports, making adding support for
new archive formats a matter of writing a wrapper for its command line tool
and dropping it in the wrappers directory. Wrappers are included for tar,
RAR, ZIP, and ACE (extraction only).
Changes: Keyboard shortcuts for the "add to archive" selector have been
added. A context popup has been added to the "add to archive" selector for
removing files from the list. The wrapper info page is now in a scrolled
window. As requested, a help menu item for the wrapper info popup dialog
has been added. The manpage has been updated. XArchive now has an icon.

Software Development :: Widget Sets
About: xulRecordset is a project to create XUL widget library with a
recordset behaviour, like ADORecordset in Visual Basic. It uses PHP
server-side and derived XUL widgets (using XBL) and Javascript
client-side. Communication between the client and server is supported by
the JPSpan library. An agenda is provided as an example to show how it
works. You can move next, move previous, move first, move last, update,
remove, add records, etc. The example runs against a MySQL database.
Changes: A first approximation of client side data caching was
implemented.
