by Antonio Diaz Diaz (http://freshmeat.net/users/ant_diaz/)
Wed, Oct 19th 2005 13:25
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: CD Audio :: CD Playing
About: Adcd is a text mode CD player for GNU/Linux. It features all the
functions expected in a compact disc player, including playing selected
tracks, random playing, and continuous playing. It may be used in
interactive (full screen) or non-interactive (command line) modes.
Changes: Non-interactive mode has been added. The files 'configure' and
'Makefile.in' have been added for a GNU type build (configure, make, and
make install).

[002] - AirWave Management Platform 4.0
by Jason Luther (http://freshmeat.net/users/jasonluther/)
Wed, Oct 19th 2005 16:29
System :: Networking
System :: Networking :: Monitoring
System :: Systems Administration
About: The AirWave Management Platform (AMP) is server software which
provides a Web-based UI that gives you a single point of intelligent
control for remotely monitoring and configuring multi-vendor wireless
access points and other network devices. The AMP software offers device
discovery, centralized policy definition, automated configuration

[003] - And-httpd 0.99.4
by Nevyn (http://freshmeat.net/users/nevyn/)
Wed, Oct 19th 2005 01:31
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: HTTP Servers
About: And-httpd is an HTTP server that maps URLs to files. In other
words, in can take an incoming URL and map it to a file in a number of
ways (for example, according to content type or language). It cannot do
CGI or other kinds of code execution. It cannot even dynamically create
directory listings (although it comes with external tools to do so). It
currently has a $500 "security guarantee" against remote attacks.
Changes: Named matches and ability to add matches at positions other than
the end of the match list were added. The ability to use user home
directories in the configuration file paths was added. O_NOATIME support
was added. More checking is done on requests, and some minor bugfixes were
made. Cron jobs were added to the auto gzip content. Some more
documentation was written.

[004] - antispyd 0.0.7
by janium (http://freshmeat.net/users/jnm42/)
Wed, Oct 19th 2005 08:11
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 provides two new features: Domain White-List
configuration and BLOCK_SIZE filter. The BLOCK_SIZE filter provides the
ability to control incoming and outgoing traffic for desired MIME types
based on HTTP message size. The control configuration can be different for
incoming and outgoing traffic. This monitoring is performed with two
independent techniques: "HTTP header checking" and "HTTP flow tracking".
Moreover, the filter management software architecture has been cleaned up.

[005] - AvantSlash 3.3
by Richard Lawrence (http://freshmeat.net/users/ralawrence/)
Wed, Oct 19th 2005 04:27
About: AvantSlash allows you to read Slashdot on your Palm or WinCE
device (through AvantGo or another PDA Web browser) or via a WAP enabled
mobile phones. It provides you with a cleaner version of the content and
can even clean up the linked articles for easier reading on your device.
Changes: This release fixes a bug which meant that articles that were not
associated with a specific Slashdot section were not being displayed on
the main page.

[006] - BackupMX/Store&Forward 0.1.0
by Graham Toal (http://freshmeat.net/users/gtoal/)
Wed, Oct 19th 2005 00:36
Communications :: Email :: Mail Transport Agents
Internet :: Proxy Servers
About: BackupMX consists of two programs, 'Store' and 'Forward'. Store
accepts SMTP connections, takes all mail given to it, and stores it in a
file. Forward takes that file and forwards it over SMTP to a fixed
destination. This is code for integrating into your own projects rather
than using as is. It is suitable for creating a disaster-recovery mail
handler, but would also make a good basis for a spam filter, a tarpit, a
honeypot, or a greylist filter. It is written in simple C, and has no
external dependencies such as libsmtp.

[008] - balance 3.28
by Thomas Obermair (http://freshmeat.net/users/thomasobermair/)
Wed, Oct 19th 2005 11:13
System :: Networking
About: Balance is a simple but powerful generic TCP proxy with round-robin
load balancing and failover mechanisms. Its behaviour can be controlled at
runtime using a simple command line syntax.
Changes: A general code cleanup has been performed. An interface to MRTG
has been added, introducing the interactive commands "mrtg-bytes" and
"mrtg-conns". MRTG is able to collect statistical data by invoking these
commands calling balance with the -c option (e.g. balance -i 80 -c
'mrtg-conns 0 0').

[009] - Bless 0.4.0
by Alexandros Frantzis (http://freshmeat.net/users/alf82/)
Wed, Oct 19th 2005 08:28
Utilities
About: Bless is a fast and customizable hex editor written in GTK#. It
efficiently handles very large files and supports multiple undo-redo
actions. There are also plans for the addition of a Lua-based scripting
language for binary file manipulation.
Changes: In this release, Bless has been upgraded to Gtk# 2 (Gtk+ 2.4).
The three most important new features are a toolbar, the ability to
highlight patterns matching the current selection, and the ability to open
files by dragging and dropping them into Bless. There have also been many
bugfixes and usability improvements. Changes from Bless 0.4.0-rc1 include
fixes related to file opening and source code building, the ability to
open multiple files using the File Open dialog, and a sample Bless .spec
file for packagers.

[010] - Campsite 2.3.2
by Campware (http://freshmeat.net/users/campware/)
Wed, Oct 19th 2005 11:08
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management
About: Campsite is a multilingual content management system (CMS) for news
Web sites. Campsite's user interface was built with the end user
(journalist, editor, publisher) in mind, and it can be configured to suit
different profiles of end users. Campsite follows the print-newspaper
publishing paradigm, so it structures sites by default as Publications >
Issues > Sections > Articles. Campsite works best for medium-to-large-size
online news publications, but it is capable of handling nimbler sites too.
Changes: The template language now allows the use of "article publish
date", and the manual now includes screenshots of all administration
tasks. This release fixes installation problems on Debian 3.1, bugs that
occurred when duplicating articles, and problems in the sample templates.

About: ccHost is a Web-based infrastructure that may be used to host and
allow for commenting, remixing, and distribution globally. The more
installations of ccHost and its variations, the more content there will be
available for enjoyment and artistic re-use in a sane and legal setting.
ccHost is what is used for the infamous Creative Commons CC Mixter project
which supports legal media sharing and remixing.
Changes: New submission forms were added to show up in the throttle rules.
Verification errors are caught when a file has no extension. The download
button was fixed to review the topic header. A topic count that got out of
sync when a topic was deleted was fixed. The forum feed button is checked
for and displayed. The site is now put into the email subject when
generating email for whitelisting. A next/prev button was added for the
activity log. Drifting of the download popup menu on every click in IE was
fixed. The cc favicon.ico was removed.

Multimedia :: Graphics :: Viewers
About: Comix is a comic book viewer. It reads zip, rar, tar, tar.gz, and
tar.bz2 archives (often called .cbz, .cbr and .cbt) as well as normal
image files.
Changes: The viewed page(s) can now be dragged around by pressing the
mouse button and moving the cursor. A new option was added to cache the
next page for faster forward page flipping. Comix now handles manipulation
of already loaded images (resizing, changing scaling technique, etc.) more
efficiently due to less disk IO. A bug that caused saved options to not be
loaded when the program is restarted was fixed.

Wed, Oct 19th 2005 13:56
About: A portal project to produce a Web-based front end to a compute
resource, such as a cluster, using PHP, MySQL, and Apache. The intent is
to allow non-programmers to use complex programs through an intuitive
interface.
Changes: Almost beta now. The portal is being used in pre-production, and
it will be deployed in full production very soon. This version can execute
serial code and MPI code. The INSTALL file is much more accurate. This
should be the final alpha release before beginning the beta phase as a
feature complete product.

by Michael K. Johnson (http://freshmeat.net/users/johnsonm/)
Wed, Oct 19th 2005 13:25
Software Development :: Version Control
System :: Archiving :: Packaging
System :: Installation/Setup
About: Conary is a distributed software management system for Linux
distributions. It replaces traditional package management solutions (such
as RPM and dpkg) with one designed to enable loose collaboration across
the Internet. It enables sets of distributed and loosely connected
repositories to define the components which are installed on a Linux
system. Rather than having a full distribution come from a single vendor,
it allows administrators and developers to branch a distribution, keeping
the pieces which fit their environment while grabbing components from
other repositories across the Internet.
Changes: The "install bucket" mechanism for determining when troves can
co-exist was replaced with a more flexible and complete "path hash"
mechanism. With this new mechanism, troves that have no file conflicts can
always be installed side-by-side on the same system. Conary is also much
more verbose when doing updates.

Games/Entertainment
Software Development :: Libraries
About: The Crate Game Engine is a game engine that is designed to make
creating games trivial. The rendering engine and scripting engine are
removed from the game engine to make the specialization of games as easy
as possible. An XML game loader will be implemented to make creating games
require no recompiling.
Changes: The first proof-of-concept console-based game has been added. The
framework was updated to allow a real game to be made.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Security
About: DansGuardian is a Web content filtering proxy that uses Squid to do
all the fetching. It filters using multiple methods including, but not
limited to, phrase matching, file extension matching, MIME type matching,
PICS filtering, and URL/domain blocking. It has the ability to switch off
filtering by certain criteria including username, domain name, source IP,
etc. The configurable logging produces a log in an easy to read format. It
has the option to only log text-based pages, thus significantly reducing
redundant information (such as every image on a page).
Changes: New in this, the first major release in over two years, are many
features, the main one being anti-virus scanning of downloads.

About: Mantissa is an application server. It provides integration between
the Axiom object database and the Twisted framework, as well as Web
user-interface utilities. Mantissa is the deployment target: it can serve
an application over several protocols; HTTP is one of those protocols, but
HTTP isn't treated specially by the software.
Changes: The focus of this Mantissa release is support for the Web: there
are themes, conventions for template lookup, support for Nevow LivePage,
and a framework into which Web interfaces to applications can be dropped.
A major feature is the ability to deploy otherwise unrelated applications
into the same server, provide access to them using the same user accounts,
have them cooperate to display elements of the page which each require, and
give the user an organized view onto them.

About: EasyBMP is a cross-platform C++ library for reading and writing
Windows bitmap (BMP) files. Designed for ease of use, it requires no
installation or external libraries, is small in size, well-documented, and
is simple enough for the novice programmer to start in just minutes.
Changes: Some minor feature enhancements were added. First, wherever
functions had char* as an input, it was replaced with const char*. This
should improve the compatibility of EasyBMP with other software and is
also a good programming practice. Many major functions, such as
BMP::ReadFromFile() and BMP::WriteToFile(), now return true or false to

Software Development
Software Development :: Libraries
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
About: Elektra provides a universal and secure framework to store
configuration parameters in a hierarchical key-value pair mechanism,
instead of each program using its own text configuration files. This
allows any program to read and save its configuration with a consistent
API, and allows them to be aware of other applications' configurations,
permitting easy application integration. While architecturally similar to
other OS registries, Elektra does not have most of the problems found in
those implementations.
Changes: Autotools, autoconf, and libtool are now used. The new homepage
and wiki are done.

[039] - Hilbert II 0.01.08
by m31 (http://freshmeat.net/users/m31/)
Wed, Oct 19th 2005 11:21
Documentation
Education
Internet
About: The Goal of Hilbert II, which is in the tradition of Hilbert's
program, is the creation of a system that enables a working mathematician
to put theorems and proofs (in the formal language of predicate calculus)
into it. These proofs are automatically verified by a proof checker.
Because this system is not centrally administered and enables references
to any location on the Internet, a world wide mathematical knowledge base
could be built. Any proof of a theorem in this "mathematical web" could be
drilled down to the very elementary rules and axioms. To make it more than
a huge number of logical correct formulas, it also contains information in
"common mathematical language". Think of an incredible number of
mathematical textbooks with hyperlinks, and each of its proofs could be
verified by *Hilbert II*. For each theorem, the dependency of other
propositions, definitions, and axioms could be easily derived.
Changes: The GUI shows errors now in a text area with detailed error
position information; clicking the text area opens a new editor window
with the qedeq file and marked error position. The XSD was expanded: now
the element "EXISTSU" proposes the existence of a unique individuum. There
is an additional script file: beginning of axiomatic set theory
(Morse-Kelley), which includes a German and English version and contains
the first two set theoretic axioms. Two more sample error files are
included.

[043] - ipsvd 0.11.1
by Gerrit Pape (http://freshmeat.net/users/pape/)
Wed, Oct 19th 2005 08:38
System :: Networking
About: ipsvd is a set of Internet protocol service daemons for TCP/IP and
UDP/IP. A daemon waits for incoming connections on a socket; for new
connections, it conditionally runs an arbitrary program to handle the
connection. The daemons can be told to read and follow pre-defined
instructions on how to handle incoming connections; based on the client's
IP address or hostname, they can run different programs, set a different
environment, deny a connection, or set a per host concurrency limit. On
Linux the network connection optionally can be encrypted using SSL3. ipsvd
can be used to run services usually run by inetd or tcpserver. Normally the
daemons are run by a supervisor process, such as runsv from the runit
package, or daemontools' supervise.
Changes: The package has been updated to work with the new version 1.7.1
of the matrixssl library on Linux and Mac OS X.

About: K3b is a CD and DVD burning application for Linux systems optimized
for KDE. It provides a comfortable user interface to perform most CD/DVD
burning tasks, such as creating an audio CD from a set of audio files or
copying a CD. While the experienced user can influence all steps of the
burning process, the beginner may find comfort in the automatic settings
and the reasonable defaults which allow a quick start. The actual burning
is done by the command line utilities cdrecord, cdrdao, and growisofs.
Changes: The progressbar in the file view was fixed. It is possible to add
the "New Data DVD Project" button to the welcome window again. Problems
with unreadable items when using a non-standard color scheme were fixed.
The permissions on cdrecord versions >= 2.01.01a02 are now properly set.

2048 is always used when only creating an image in CD Copy. This means that
extracted ISO images from CDs with non-Mode1 tracks are usable again.
Directory permissions and user/group ID are preserved in data projects
when using the "backup" option.

[061] - OpenPKG 2.5
by Ralf S. Engelschall (http://freshmeat.net/users/rse/)
Wed, Oct 19th 2005 04:49
About: OpenPKG is a flexible and powerful software packaging facility that
eases installation and administration of Unix software across several
platforms. Consolidating different vendor approaches into a unified
architecture, it assists in administration of large networks previously
complicated by nonconformant systems. It uses RPM to provide an additional
system layer on top of the operating system. It is fully self-contained (no
RPM pre-installation is required), installs itself by means of a tricky
bootstrapping procedure with minimal operating system intrusion, and
supports multiple installation instances.
Changes: This release consists of 579 selected packages which include the
latest versions of all popular Unix server software. All software is
carefully packaged for easy deployment on 19 different Unix platforms. The
major technical efforts for this release were spent on migrating to the GNU
Compiler Collection (GCC) version 4.0 and further improving the Solaris 10
support and adding full support for the new FreeBSD 6.0 and SUSE 10.0
platforms.

System :: Logging
System :: Monitoring
About: phpLogCon is a Web front-end for syslog and other network event
data. It provides easy browsing and some basic analysis. Network events
are taken from a database, where they must be stored by a feeding
application (not part of phpLogCon itself). Depending on database
contents, phpLogCon can process syslog messages, Windows event log entries
and some more exotic things. It works together with rsyslogd, an enhanced
syslog deamon but can also team up with any other application capable of
writing to a database.
Changes: This release fixes some issues mostly encountered during setup
and initial configuration. It also adds proper version numbers to the
project. If you already run a previous release, there is no need to
update.

[072] - rsyslog 1.11.1 (Development)
by Rainer Gerhards (http://freshmeat.net/users/rgerhards/)
Wed, Oct 19th 2005 11:13
System :: Logging
About: Rsyslog is an enhanced syslogd. Among other features, it offers
support for reliable syslog over TCP and RFC 3195, writing to MySQL
databases, fully configurable output formats (including great timestamps),
and the ability to filter on any part of the syslog message. It is designed
as a drop-in replacement for stock syslogd and thus able to work with the
same config file syntax. Of course, some enhanced features require
changing the config file, but in general, this should be fairly easy.
Changes: This release supports BSD-style program and hostname blocks. This
facilitates rsyslogd usage in multi-host environments and when migrating
from stock BSD syslogd. It is also helpful for any complex logging needs.
The release also contains some minor feature enhancements (like the
ability to specify the listen port in rfc3195d), as well bugfixes and
stability updates.

by Alistair Riddoch (http://freshmeat.net/users/ajr/)
Wed, Oct 19th 2005 22:45
Communications
Software Development :: Libraries
About: The Atlas protocol is intended for use in networked roleplaying
games, and provides a flexible and extensible means of communicating
between the components of a game system. The protocol is transport
independent, encoding independent and portable. Atlas-C++ is the standard
implementation of the protocol in C++ used by most WorldForge software,
and is made available for use in any other system.
Changes: An error condition with network connections that close
unexpectedly no longer causes a tight loop which hangs the application.

Wed, Oct 19th 2005 01:49
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Presentation
Text Processing :: General
About: WP Clipart is an attempt to make a useful clipart package of public
domain images for use in word processors. It contains nearly 5,000 pieces
of non-transparent PNG clip art, which is exactly what AbiWord prints and
scales well. It has been optimized for use in all word processors (scaled
down, midtones expanded for inkjet print quality, etc.) It is suitable for
documents as well as Web graphics, but also has business application
(credit cards, promo graphics) and educational uses (pictures of all US
presidents, all country flags, all US states, sign language alphabet).
Changes: This is a content update only. Roughly 250 images were added
since 0.6. The package was recently tested successfully on Ubuntu Breezy.

[096] - XCC 0.5.1
by Evgeny Stambulchik (http://freshmeat.net/users/fnevgeny/)
Wed, Oct 19th 2005 16:29
Software Development :: Code Generators
Text Processing :: Markup :: XML
About: XCC is a tool for building XML format parsers. One way to describe
what XCC does is by analogy with a generic parser generator, e.g. yacc or
bison. Yacc needs a lexical analyzer to function properly, and that
lexical analyzer is usually built with (f)lex. In the XML world, there are
a few packages which fill in the role of lex (expat and libxml are the most
known), but the high-level grammar parsing is usually done by a
hand-written code; writing such a parser is a tedious and error-prone
task. XCC was created to help developers in writing reliable
easy-to-understood parsers for handling complex XML-based grammars.
Changes: This release adds #line directives to the generated source for
easier debugging. It honours DESTDIR during installation. Minor bugs have
been fixed.
