[003] - antispyd 0.0.6 
  by janium (http://freshmeat.net/users/jnm42/)
  Sun, Oct 16th 2005 07:24

Internet :: Proxy Servers
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
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.

Changes: This release cleans up and enhances the Web engine. The HTTP
lexer and parser have been cleaned up and improved. Better keep-alive
processing has been developed to speed up HTTP flow transition. Antispyd
is now tested with valgrind.

Internet :: Proxy Servers
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management

About: BalanceNG is a modern software IP load balancing solution. It is
small, fast, and easy to use and setup. It offers session persistence,
different distribution methods (Round Robin, Random, Hash, and Least
Resource) and a customizable UDP health check agent in source code. It
supports VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) to set up high

dumping for debugging purposes and allows the implementation of a
"transparent forensic logging bridge". It supports "all service load
balancing" based on client IP address which allows almost any protocol to
be supported. 

Changes: The Solaris versions of BalanceNG are no longer supported due to
missing performance related DLPI features. The manual has been updated to
reflect this, and now also contains a new "single legged" configuration
example.

  Sun, Oct 16th 2005 05:43

Text Processing :: Filters
Utilities

About: bbe is a sed-like editor for binary files. Instead of reading input
in lines as sed, bbe reads arbitrary blocks from an input stream and
performs byte-related transformations on found blocks. Blocks can be
defined using start/stop strings, stream offset and block length, or a
combination. Basic editing commands include delete, replace,
search/replace, binary operations (and, or, etc.), append, and bcd/ASCII
conversion. For examining the input stream, it contains some grep-like
features like printing the input file name, stream offset, and block
number of found blocks. Block contents can also be printed in different
formats like hex, octal, ASCII, and binary.

Changes: A bug in block definition was fixed (in form /string/:).
Performance was improved.

  by Thomas Mailund (http://freshmeat.net/users/mailund_birc/)
  Sun, Oct 16th 2005 05:37

Scientific/Engineering :: Bioinformatics

About: CoaSim is a tool for simulating the coalescent process with
recombination and gene conversion under the assumption of exponential
population growth. It efficiently constructs the ancestral recombination
graph for a given number of individuals and uses this to simulate samples
of SNP and micro satellite haplotypes/genotypes. The generated sample can
afterwards be separated in cases and controls, depending on the states of
selected individual markers. The tool can accordingly also be used to
construct cases and control data sets for association studies.

Changes: A module for the step-wise mutation model has been added. The
disease-modelling module has been extended, and the SNP/genotypes module
has been extended with support for phased genotypes. A number of bugs have
been 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 tool now sends a confirmation email when a user subscribes to
an alert online; this allows more secure deployment to a large audience. A
new driver for the AskJeeves search engine has been added, featuring many
specific options such as language, site search, and date range search.
Alexa thumbnails can now be turned off.

About: Open Administration for Schools (OAfS) is a Web-based school
administration package. Open Admin does demographics, attendance,
discipline, report cards, and has an online gradebook and parent viewing
function. It is designed for elementary, K-12, and small high schools. It
generates plain HTML and uses LaTeX for PDF generation. It also includes
special education and division-wide central office modules (all schools
run on the same server with different virtual sites; two sites per school,
one for teachers, and one for the office). Parent functions are by separate
parent/school site. 

Changes: This version begins the use of templates to allow the student
tables to be extended to allow schools to add additional fields to student
demographics. The templating is used by student enrollment, editing,
search, view, and full student roster. The updated scripts also make use
of a meta table to control form entry and other aspects of editing. The
gradebook application now uses session management via the Perl module
CGI::Session. This improves security and simplifies session management.

About: PHPS is a framework for separating HTML from PHP or, more
generally, content from functionality. PHPS comes with a parser that
converts your HTML code into PHP objects which you can then manipulate and
finally render back into HTML. PHPS is extremely flexible and allows you to
add arbitrary tags that convert into PHP objects, simplifying your HTML
code. 

Changes: An HTML parser was added, so regular HTML files can be used with
PHPS. New tags were added for convenience, like (space) and (br #). A
"let" tag was added to define variables within the HTML that can be
dynamically altered at runtime.

[073] - Visitors Web Log Analyzer 0.6 
  by antirez (http://freshmeat.net/users/antirez/)
  Sun, Oct 16th 2005 23:38

Internet :: Log Analysis
Internet :: WWW/HTTP

About: Visitors is a very fast Web log analyzer. It can process up to
150,000 lines/second of logs on a modern PC, outputs statistics in
plaintext or HTML, and can be used interactively in a pipe with less to
just see the stats quickly, or run via cron for the HTML output. It does
not require any kind of configuration, nor to know the format of the Web
log file to process.

Changes: Two new reports were added: "AdSensed pages" which shows pages
accessed recently by the Google AdSense bot, and "Human Languages" via
Google's referer "hl" GET parameter (this does not need to resolve IP
addresses to guess the language of visitors). Keyword based referer spam
filtering was added. The browser list was updated with the ability to
detect different versions of IE and Gecko-based browsers. A problem
regarding long lines in the HTML output causing issues sending reports by
email was fixed. The parsing code and the unique visitors algorithm were
improved.

[074] - WindowLab 1.33 
  by Nick Gravgaard (http://freshmeat.net/users/nickgravgaard/)
  Sun, Oct 16th 2005 16:24

Desktop Environment :: Window Managers

About: WindowLab is a small and simple window manager of novel design. It
has a click-to-focus but not raise-on-focus policy, a window resizing
mechanism that allows one or many edges of a window to be changed in one
action, and an innovative menubar that shares the same part of the screen
as the taskbar. Window titlebars are prevented from going off the edge of
the screen by constraining the mouse pointer. When appropriate, the
pointer is also constrained to the taskbar/menubar in order to make target
menu items easier to hit. 

Changes: Scrolling the mouse wheel in the taskbar now task switches. A
crash was fixed that occurred on the BSDs (and presumably on other systems
without /proc/self/exe), and another crash was fixed that occurred when
there were no focused windows and alt + F12 was pressed. Events are always
replayed rather than sometimes being eaten. New windows are no longer given
focus. The TODO file was added.

Internet
Software Development :: Version Control
System :: Archiving :: Packaging

About: The Zero Install Injector makes it possible for users to install
software easily and without the need for root privileges. It takes the URL
of a program's interface description and chooses suitable versions of the
program and all of its dependencies (also identified by URLs) according to
the user's policy settings (eg. "stable", "testing", "minimal network use",
etc). The chosen versions are downloaded and cached and the program is run,
using environment variables to let it find the components.

Changes: Remote feeds are now fully supported. This means that people
providing binaries can host their own interface files, which are linked
from the master one. The correct feed will be used for the user's
platform.

  by morb (http://freshmeat.net/users/morbach/)
  Sun, Oct 16th 2005 05:36

Desktop Environment
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Viewers

About: zufall is a simple program to change the background periodically.
It takes one or more directories with images as a parameter (no GUI) and
sets a randomly chosen image as background. If there is a border
remaining, its color is the average color of two corners of the image.
This mostly fits the image very well. It doesn't work if the root window
is hidden by another program, like in Gnome or KDE. However, it is
possible to execute a configurable command to effect the change whenever
the image is supposed to change. 

Changes: The possibility to execute a command on every image-change was
added. This makes it possible to set the background in GNOME and KDE (via
gconftool2 and dcop). Zufall is now able to load the list of images from a
file, and GQview collections are supported. There is a new option to exit
after a given number of images.
