[021] - Electric Fence 2.4.15
by Hayati Ayguen (http://freshmeat.net/users/hayguen/)
Sun, Jul 24th 2005 23:11
Software Development :: Debuggers
About: Electric Fence (efence) stops your program on the exact instruction
that overruns (or underruns) a malloc() memory buffer. GDB will then
display the source-code line that causes the bug. It works by using the
virtual-memory hardware to create a red-zone at the border of each buffer
- touch that, and your program stops. Catch all of those formerly
impossible-to-catch overrun bugs that have been bothering you for years.
Changes: Bugs in page management under Windows where virtual address space
was never released was fixed, though this fix avoids memory pooling (under
Windows). An ExitOnFail parameter was added to Page_Create(). A warning is
now displayed when an allocation failed and ExitOnFail is off.
_eff_allocate() was extended for this.

About: The Electric Sheep screensaver realizes the collective dream of
sleeping computers from all over the Internet. It harnesses idle computers
into a render farm for the purpose of animating and evolving artificial
organisms.
Changes: A bug where all sheep could be deleted because of network errors
was fixed along with a bug where special environment arguments to
flam3-animate were not necessarily null-terminated. The program now zooms
down to fit in the xscreensaver preview window. Better logging was
implemented along with an update to the latest flam3 library. GCC 4
compatibility was achieved and autotools and the man page were updated.
electricsheep.spec and electricsheep.xml are now automatically generated
with the current version number.

by Dark Logic (http://freshmeat.net/users/darklogic/)
Sun, Jul 24th 2005 01:44
Security :: Cryptography
About: EverCrack is a cryptanalysis engine. The overall design goal is to
systematically break down complex ciphers into their simplex components
for cryptanalysis (by the kernel). The kernel consists of an algebraic
design (comparison and reduction) for breaking uniliteral, monoalphabetic
ciphers instantaneously. Currently, it can break a 500-word cipher in less
than 500 miliseconds. EverCrack currently has multi-language support for
the user interface and cracking encryption in other language dictionaries
(English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, Dutch, and
Portuguese).
Changes: This release was ported to Linux by using Cygwin. Basic
multi-language support was added. Lexicon modification capabilities were
added for adding new words to an existing lexicon set or for creating a
new lexicon set from a wordlist.

by Matthias Andree (http://freshmeat.net/users/mandree/)
Sun, Jul 24th 2005 00:06
Communications :: Email
About: Fetchmail is a free, full-featured, robust, well-documented
remote-mail retrieval and forwarding utility intended to be used over
on-demand TCP/IP links (such as SLIP or PPP connections). It supports
every remote-mail protocol now in use on the Internet: POP2, POP3, RPOP,
APOP, KPOP, all flavors of IMAP, and ESMTP ETRN. It can even support IPv6
and IPSEC.
Changes: This release fixes CAN-2005-2335 (a remote code injection
vulnerability through a malicious POP3 server's UIDL replies).
RFC-821/2821 conformance was fixed by not emitting a blank between MAIL
FROM: and the address, which caused mail loss on some sites. The POP2
driver now checks for authentication failures. The APOP/RPOP drivers no
longer attempt to get SIZE for a message range. Fetchmail has been handed
to new maintainers and has changed its home site.

[028] - Gambas 1.9.13 (Development)
by gambas (http://freshmeat.net/users/gambas/)
Sun, Jul 24th 2005 22:54
Software Development :: Interpreters
About: Gambas is a graphical development environment based on a Basic
interpreter, like Visual Basic. It uses the Qt toolkit, but is able to use
any other toolkit that a module is written for.
Changes: The source package structure has been redesigned a little, and
now uses symbolic links so that size is reduced. The IDE now stores
control coordinates proportionally to the system font height. Extern
functions can be public. The interpreter uses mmap() to load executables
and components written in Gambas. Each component can have a part written
in C/C++ and a part written in Gambas. Enumerable container classes now
know when they are enumerated so that they can safely delete their
elements. The TrayIcon class was implemented. The OpenGL beta component
was included.

[042] - libhash 1.1
by Geet Duggal (http://freshmeat.net/users/geetduggal/)
Sun, Jul 24th 2005 23:52
About: Libhash provides a clean and efficient C interface for chained
hashing. It addition to the normal functions, it supports generalized
keys, iteration over keys, values, and entries, and allows user control
over memory use and hashing functions. It was created in response to the
bloated code of larger libraries containing hash functionality (such as
the fast Perl and XML hashes). The implementation is robust enough to
allow substitution of hashing and comparison functions for general void*
keys while being small enough to be easily used in larger projects. The
library is designed such that dynamic hashing libraries can be cleanly
built using it.
Changes: Support for extending the library with dynamic hashing was added,
a few bugs were fixed, and support for "multivalue" hash tables was added.

[053] - PhysicsFS 1.0.1
by icculus (http://freshmeat.net/users/icculus/)
Sun, Jul 24th 2005 01:00
Games/Entertainment
Software Development :: Libraries
About: PhysicsFS is a library to provide abstract access to various
archives. The programmer defines a "write directory" on the physical
filesystem. No file writing done through the PhysicsFS API can leave that
write directory, for security. For file reading, the programmer lists
directories and archives that form a "search path". Once the search path
is defined, it becomes a single, transparent, hierarchical filesystem.
This makes for easy access to ZIP files in the same way as you access a
file directly on the disk, and it makes it easy to ship a new archive
that will override a previous archive on a per-file basis. Symbolic links
can be disabled, for added safety. Finally, PhysicsFS gives you a
platform- abstracted means to determine if CD-ROMs are available, the
user's home directory, where in the real filesystem your program is
running, etc.
Changes: A bug in zip archiver directory handling was fixed. The internal
zlib was updated to 1.2.3. Support for mingw was added to the Unix build
process. Spanish and Brazillian Portguese translations were added. Various
platform-specific fixes were made. HOG archiver file sorting was fixed. The
build system respects external CFLAGS now. Seeking now respects buffered
data.

Information Management
About: Pie is a lightweight content management system for Web-sharing
documents, files, and arbitrary pieces of information. Making use of a
Wiki's meta language and page-linking abilities, it lets authors create
and maintain content via HTTP on a corporate basis. It features an
emphasis on fast content delivery to its recipients rather than
sophisticated add-ons, therefore conveying compiled output instead of
performing time consuming run-time processing.
Changes: The new multi-user environment encourages writers to identify
themselves through distinctive usernames. File/page locking prevents
multiple users from working on the same page at a time. The location of
each each component is completely customizable. User actions that modify
the contents of the site can be logged. Internal anchors can be placed on
pages to be referred to via links. The ampersand selector in text spans
allows embedding special HTML-entities on pages. The equal selector in
text spans allows embedding arbitrary verbatim code into documents.

[061] - SCZ 1.2
by kindman (http://freshmeat.net/users/kindman/)
Sun, Jul 24th 2005 23:23
System :: Archiving :: Compression
Utilities
About: SCZ is a set of simple, portable, light-weight file compression and
decompression utilities. Simple compress and decompress subroutines can be
linked and called within applications to compress or unpack data on the
fly. These functions can also be used through stand-alone utilities. The
initial set of routines implements a lossless compression algorithm, so
restoration and decompression are perfect.
Changes: This release added new stream access routines that allow ".scz"
files to be opened for reading or writing, followed by many individual
line (new-line delimited) or XML (tag-delimited) reads or writes, and
finally closed. This enables incremental writing or reading much like
fopen, feof, fgets, fputs, and fclose, but on compressed files and avoids
the need to do I/O on large intermediate buffers before compressing or
after decompressing.

About: ServoMaster is a project dedicated to providing a consistent
hardware independent way of controlling R/C servos with a personal
computer.
Changes: Support was added for the Pololu USB 16-Servo controller
(supported via serial interface only on Linux). As a side effect, Pololu
Serial 8-Servo and 16-Servo are also supported. As a side effect, Mini SSC
II is also supported. The --enable-ft639 and --enable-phidget options were
replaced with more generic --enable-serial and --enable-usb.
LimitTransformer and TransitionCompletionToken were added. The code was
upgraded to JDK 1.5, so backward compatibility was lost.

Database :: API
Software Development
About: This library provides implementations of smart pointers for
automatically collected objects (using reference counting), object
persistence, unbounded and bounded arrays of smart pointers, generic
unbounded arrays of private objects and plain pointers, generic sets,
maps, stacks, and storage pools. It also includes table management, string
editing, and infix expression parsing tools.
Changes: Tools were added to ease creation of parsers matching a word from
a list of keywords. The Get_Token procedure does this using a user-provided
table. The Keywords package generates a keyword matching parser from an
enumeration type in which literals are the keywords to match.

[070] - Unicode Description Utilities 2.13
by Bill Poser (http://freshmeat.net/users/billposer/)
Sun, Jul 24th 2005 02:17
Text Processing :: Linguistic
Utilities
About: The Unicode Description Utilities is a set of four programs for
finding out what is in a Unicode file. uniname defaults to printing the
character offset of each character, its byte offset, its hex code value,
its encoding, the glyph itself, and its name. Command line options allow
undesired information to be suppressed and the Unicode range to be added.
unidesc reports the character ranges to which different portions of the
text belong. unihist generates a histogram of the characters in its input.
ExplicateUTF8 is intended for debugging or for learning about Unicode. It
determines and explains the validity of a sequence of bytes as a UTF-8
encoding.
Changes: An option has been added to uniname that causes it to do nothing
but validate its input. If it encounters invalid UTF-8, it reports its
location and explains why it is invalid.

[075] - XArchive 0.1.8
by yargoflick (http://freshmeat.net/users/ligelowbee/)
Sun, Jul 24th 2005 23:11
System :: Archiving
About: XArchive is a GUI frontend for commandline archiving tools. It uses
external executable wrappers to communicate with the tools. It consults a
wrapper directory at startup to see what types of files it supports,
making adding support for new archive formats a matter of writing a
wrapper for its tool and dropping it in the wrappers directory. Wrappers
are included for tar, RAR, ZIP, and ACE (extraction only).
Changes: An "open with" command was added to allow temporary extraction
and viewing of a file from an archive with an application of the users
choice. The RAR listing was fixed to properly display directory entries.
