Security
About: Antispyd is an HTTP/HTTPS threat filtering proxy server. The main
characteristic of this project is the modularity of his conception. The
program is organized around an HTTP/HTTPS gateway service and a set of
filters that can be enabled or disabled, and are all configurable with a
single configuration file. Current filters are: URL filtering, content
filtering, content-type filtering, cookie removal, pop-up removal, shell
code attack blocking, Web traffic anonymizing, and a signature-based
filtering engine. All filtering is done on the fly, without blocking
downloads in any case. It uses only POSIX primitives and is built with
autotools, and was created with security in mind.

About: FreeVMS is an OpenVMS-like operating system which can run on
several architectures like i386, PPC, Alpha, and many others. It consists
of a POSIX kernel and a DCL command line interpreter. The only
architecture currently supported is i386.
Changes: A telnet client that connects gets a DCL prompt. Some terminal
driver improvements were made, so now backspace/del, ctrl-d, and ctrl-f
work, but the result cannot yet be seen on the terminal. When a HIB state
process gets an AST, it no longer wakes up permanently. The same case was
fixed for event flag waiting. The services $getjpi, $getdvi, and $getsyi
did not set iosb and/or event flag properly and have been fixed.

console or an xterm-style terminal. It features file copying, moving, and
renaming, file marking for performing the same action on all marked files
(such as copy or delete), full directory support such as moving,
renaming, and deleting directories, permission and owner support (like
chmod and chown), file editing and creation, an RPM manager for
installing and inspecting .rpm files, an archive center supporting .tar,
gz, .tar.gz, and .zip files, and fully configurable colors and editor
choices. All features are available with single keystroke commands and
require very little understanding of Linux. DiskTool is written in
Pascal and not in C. The source code is available upon email request, but
you will need to install the FPC compiler to compile the modules.

Desktop Environment :: File Managers
Software Development :: Documentation
Software Development :: Libraries
About: Linux NTFS provides Linux kernel drivers, a multiplatform NTFS
library, and tools to create, resize, clone, rescue, query, label and fix
NTFS volumes, and to undelete, resize, list, and query files for the
filesystem used by Windows XP, 2003, 2000, NT4, and Longhorn. It also
provides support for the Logical Disk Manager (LDM) that controls Windows'
Dynamic Disks and is used to create software mirrors, stripes, and RAID.
Changes: Lots of big improvements and bugfixes were made. Most
importantly, this release includes basic file and directory creation and
deletion, as well as hardlink support by ntfsmount via FUSE and in
libntfs. Ntfsdecrypt, ntfscluster, ntfsresize, mkntfs, and ntfsclone were
also enhanced. A new utility, ntfscmp, was added to efficiently compare
two NTFS filesystems.

[029] - Linux Video Project 0.5.0
by blindCoder (http://freshmeat.net/users/blindcoder/)
Mon, Oct 10th 2005 01:50
Multimedia :: Video :: Display
About: The Linux Video Project attempts to create a live-DVD (CDs are too
small) which boots on any x86 system, initializes its hardware (most
notably sound), and plays video on that system. It uses the ROCK Linux
Distribution Build Kit for building the live-system.
Changes: This version has moved from XFree86 to Xorg, from devfs to udev,
and from loop-aes encryption to dm-crypt encryption. This means that
finally there's no more need to patch the kernel, mount, and losetup to
create encrypted LVP discs. This also means that discs with version 0.5.0
can not play any prior release as it used to be.

Mon, Oct 10th 2005 02:00
Text Processing :: Filters
Text Processing :: General
About: monq.jfa is a class library for fast and flexible text filtering
with regular expressions. In contrast to java.util.regex, monq.jfa allows
a regular expression to be bound to an action that is automatically called
whenever a match is spotted in an input stream. In addition, it can combine
several ten thousand regex/action pairs into one machinery (called a
"deterministic finite automaton" or DFA) for fast parallel text filtering.
A general purpose TCP server and associated classes in monq.net allow the
bigger DFAs to be run as servers.
Changes: The TcpServer could get stuck on unchecked exceptions thrown by a
Service. DfaRun could gobble all memory in mode UNMATCHED_COPY if no match
was found at all. A default word that historically was always added to a
dictionary by DictFilter can now be suppressed. The homepage got a link to
a wikified tutorial.

[069] - WASP-PHP 1.0 RC1
by Brian Fioca (http://freshmeat.net/users/bfioca/)
Mon, Oct 10th 2005 13:39
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
Software Development :: Libraries :: PHP Classes
About: WASP (Web Application Structure for PHP5) is a multi-tier web
application framework built on object oriented PHP5. The framework is a
simplified Model-View-Controller architecture. The controller is built by
adding content "Chunks" to "UIModules". The model portion of the framework
wraps PEAR DB_DataObjects in a business object layer. The view portion
currently makes use of PEAR Html_Template_Flexy, but can be easily
reimplemented using different template managers (or none at all).
Changes: This release represents a substantial improvement over previous
releases. The code base is the same as 0.9, but now the entire
build/setup/configuration process is automated using phing. Phing works
exactly like apache ant, and provides full automation of configuration
(using build.properties), application framework generation, and data model
object creation. Simply tell it the name of the app you want, tell it where
your database is, and it creates everything for you.
