About: AuctionGallery is a terminal script that creates picture galleries
for the purpose of putting them into auctions like eBay or Yahoo!
Auctions. It can also be used to automatically generate HTML templates for
auction descriptions. It is aimed at power-sellers who have hundreds of
products listed every day and need an efficient way of generating
galleries and organizing pictures in a coherent directory structure.
Changes: The license was changed to the GPL. The parsing of configuration
and template files was completely rewritten, and should be a lot faster
now. append-user was changed to append_user. template_path was added to
gallery.conf. Configuration is now checked at the beginning, before
templates are listed. Invalid error checks when creating directories were
fixed. More error checking was added to configuration/template variables.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Graphics Conversion
About: BINS is a valid HTML 4 photo album generator with support for
internationalization, EXIF, and customizable charset encoding, including
UTF-8 (Unicode). Albums can contains other sub-albums. The appearance of
the album can be fully personalized by using template and configuration
parameters. The number and size of scaled pictures can be chosen in pixels
or percentage of the original image. Several description fields (date,
location, etc.) can be associated with the pictures, and you can add
additional description fields. A command line utility or a GTK+ GUI can be
used to set or edit description fields. BINS can use the EXIF data
structure found in some pictures to automatically fill some fields (most
notably, date and time) and to produce a page providing all information
available on the picture, as well as the DigiCam settings when the photo
was taken. All image meta-data are stored in XML files.
Changes: This release adds a Catalan translation, new parameters, and some
bugfixes. JPEG comments are now available as image subtext,

System :: Systems Administration
About: DB Copy Plugin is a database copying plugin for the SQuirreL SQL
Client. It makes it possible to copy and paste tables from one session to

and PostgreSQL, and allows the user to select a Hibernate dialect for the
destination database if one couldn't be determined automatically.
Changes: This release added support for caching BLOBs to disk during
transfer to prevent the client from running out of memory on large BLOBs.
The transfer buffer size is configurable. A DB Copy tab was added to the
Global Preferences section of SQuirreL for configuring preferences for the
plugin. Support for choosing additional Hibernate dialects from DB2, Derby,
FrontBase, Informix, Ingres, Interbase, McKoi, and TimesTen if the
destination database vendor couldn't be determined was added.

Sat, Aug 6th 2005 06:58
Software Development
About: DiffJ is a commandline application that compares Java files based
on content, not whitespace, comments, or reordering of types, methods, or
fields. Its output is based on the Unix program diff, and it also has a
"brief" output format for a concise summary of what changed. It can work
on directories recursively, looking for matching filenames, like "diff -r
dir0 dir1". It is primarily for developers refactoring and reformatting
Java code, for which most difference tools tend to produce misleading
results regarding the type and extent of changes.

[015] - EverCrack 1.0.5
by Dark Logic (http://freshmeat.net/users/darklogic/)
Sat, Aug 6th 2005 21:13
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: Some more bugs were fixed. dict was renamed to DICT, and all
references in the code to such were changed. An error resulting from the
fact that "./evercrack -Ct matrix1.txt" thought the word-size was too
large (which was a guard against substitution cracking) was fixed. The
kernel was optimized and now runs approximately 8.5 times faster for
monoalphabetic substitution ciphers.

Software Development
Software Development :: Compilers
About: FreeBASIC is a 32-bit BASIC compiler that supports a syntax as
compatible as possible with Microsoft QuickBASIC while adding new features
such as pointers, unsigned data types, inline assembly, and much more.
Changes: To fully support pointer typecasting, expressions are now
multiplied by the pointer type every time a pointer is updated, as done in
C. This means that "dim p as integer ptr:" "p += len( integer )" must be
changed to "p += 1" to make BYVAL AS STRING arguments more safe, as they
are now allowed in FB functions. If not passing pointers or numeric values
such as NULL or 0, the BYVAL modifier must be used.

About: L7-filter is a Netfilter match module which classifies packets
based on application layer (OSI layer 7) data. This means that it is able
to classify packets as HTTP, FTP, Gnucleus, Kazaa, etc., regardless of
ports. It complements existing matches that classify based on port
numbers, packet length, TOS bits, and so on. Combined with Linux QoS, it
allows for full layer 7 packet shaping.
Changes: The Gnutella pattern was improved and is now much faster and
avoids false positives.
