Software Development :: Compilers
About: Neko is an intermediate programming language. It has been designed
to provide a common runtime for several different languages. Learning and

Neko and then use the Neko runtime to compile, run, and access libraries.
Neko is a good way for language designers to focus on design and reuse a
fast and well-designed runtime, as well as existing libraries for
accessing filesystem, network, databases, XML, etc. It has a compiler and
a virtual machine. The virtual machine is very lightweight and well
optimized. The VM can be easily embedded into any application, and your
libraries can be accessed using the C foreign function interface.

System
System :: Archiving
About: The file renaming utilities (renameutils for short) are a set of
programs designed to make renaming of files faster and less cumbersome.
qmv ("quick move") allows file names to be edited in a text editor. The
names of all files in a directory are written to a text file, which is
then edited by the user. The text file is read and parsed, and the changes
are applied to the files. qcp copies files instead of renaming them. imv
("interactive move"), is trivial but useful when you are too lazy to type
(or even complete) the name of the file to rename twice. It allows a file
name to be edited in the terminal using the GNU Readline library.
Similarly, icp copies files instead of renaming them.

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Capture/Recording
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Players :: MP3
About: Streamripper records shoutcast-compatible streams. For shoutcast
style streams it finds the "meta data" or track separation data, and uses
that as a marker for where the track should be separated. The MP3 data is
decoded and scanned for a silent point, which is where tracks will be
created.
Changes: Metadata restriction rules are now implemented, which allow a
user to specify which files to save and which to discard using regular
expressions. The user can now assert greater control over the output
filenames by using a pattern substitution string. Automatic sequence
numbering of output files was improved to restart from the highest number
in the output directory by default. Finally, a new option for overwriting
existing files only when the new file is larger was added.

[071] - Visopsys 0.57
by Andy McLaughlin (http://freshmeat.net/users/andymcl/)
Wed, Aug 24th 2005 03:20
System :: Operating System Kernels
About: Visopsys is an alternative operating system for PC compatible
computers. Under development since late 1997, this system is small, fast,
and open source. It features a simple but attractive interface, real
preemptive multitasking, and virtual memory. Though it attempts to be
compatible in a number of ways, Visopsys is not a clone of any other
operating system. You can demo the distribution from a "live" CD or floppy
disk.
Changes: This is a maintenance and bugfix release. There are various GUI
touch-ups. The Disk Manager now updates disk geometry information in FAT
partitions after disk copy operations. The window "list" component has
been reimplemented. A number of kernel improvements have been back-ported
from the 0.6 development branch.

[074] - XML::Twig 3.21
by Michel Rodriguez (http://freshmeat.net/users/michelrodriguez/)
Wed, Aug 24th 2005 16:39
Software Development :: Libraries :: Perl Modules
Text Processing :: Markup :: XML
About: XML::Twig is an XML transformation module. It can be used to
process huge documents while still being in tree mode; is not bound by DOM
or SAX, so it is very Perlish and offers a very comprehensive set of
methods; is simple to use; and DWIMs as much as possible. What it doesn't
offer: full SAX support (it can export SAX, but only reads XML); full
XPath support (unless you use XML::Twig::XPath); nor DOM support. It is
also a big module, and with over 500 methods available it can be a bit
overwhelming. A good starting point is the online tutorial.
