About: Meld is a GNOME 2 visual diff and merge tool. It integrates
especially well with CVS. The diff viewer lets you edit files in place
(diffs update dynamically), and a middle column shows detailed changes and
allows merges. The margins show location of changes for easy browsing, and
it also features a tabbed interface that allows you to open many diffs at
once.
Changes: PyGTK 2.6+ is now required. Deprecation warnings were fixed. The
new file chooser is now used. A new pluggable version control system was
implemented, and new drawing code made file diffs much prettier. Resolved
CVS conflicts are now detected.

About: Msort is a program for sorting files in sophisticated ways. Records
need not be single lines. Key fields may be selected by position, tag, or
character range. For each key, distinct exclusions, multigraphs,
substitutions. and a sort order may be defined. Comparisons may be
lexicographic, numeric, by string length, date, or time. Optional keys are
supported. Msort uses the Unicode character set and provides full Unicode
case-folding. The basic program has a somewhat complex command line
interface, but may be driven by an optional GUI.
Changes: A bug that caused a crash if certain key-specific options were
specified before any keys were selected was fixed.

[041] - sl 0.3.3
by Stig Brautaset (http://freshmeat.net/users/stigbrau/)
Sat, Oct 29th 2005 09:13
Software Development :: Libraries
About: sl is a yet another generic linked list library. Instead of
container nodes with pointers to your data, it uses a pointer to the next
item directly in the data structure you want to create lists (or stacks)
of. In addition to significant memory savings, this allows for very fast
push and pop operations since there is no need to allocate or free memory
for the container nodes. It also means that a push can't fail because
memory couldn't be allocated for the container node.
Changes: This release adds the "sl_filter()" function. With it, you can
extract all (or the first N) nodes matching a certain criteria from any
list. There has been a minor reworking of the build process, abolishing
recursive make.

Internet :: File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
System :: Filesystems
About: SSH Filesystem uses the SSH File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), which is
supported by most SSH servers. It is based on Filesystem in Userspace
(FUSE), and hence root privilege is not required for mounting a remote
filesystem. No setup is necessary and it is very easy to use.
Changes: This release adds a number of small improvements and bugfixes,
the most important one an optional workaround for a problem with renaming
to an existing file.

About: SubLib is a library for managing movie subtitles. It's being built
to support numerous subtitle formats and includes error correction and
subtitle editing, conversion, and synchronization.
Changes: This release features the result of a source code inspection. The
internal structure was refactored, which now relates to a more consistent
internal behavior and clearer public interfaces. Detailed changes include
a restructured architecture, which now features a rich domain model.
Subtitle domain now includes frames and times as objects which
automatically update each other when changed. The Parsing engine was
rewritten to improve its readability and efficiency. An optional argument
to the testing executable was added, allowing the input FPS to be changed
before opening subtitles.

[044] - Sylpheed 2.1.5 (Development)
by Hiroyuki Yamamoto (http://freshmeat.net/users/hiroy/)
Sat, Oct 29th 2005 07:46
Communications :: Email :: Email Clients (MUA)
About: Sylpheed is a GTK+ based, lightweight, and fast email client.
Almost all commands are accessible with the keyboard. It also has many
features such as multiple accounts, POP3/APOP support, thread display, and
multipart MIME. One of Sylpheed's future goals is to be fully
internationalized. The messages are managed in the MH format, so you'll be
able to use it together with another mailer that uses the MH format.
Changes: A command line option for specifying the directory that stores
configuration files was added. The output headers of printed messages now
match to those of the message view. When replying to a mailing list post
that has the Reply-To set, both addresses will be set. An option to delete
filtered junk mails from the server was added. A problem where drag and
drop didn't work with GTK+ 2.8 was fixed. Some improvements were made to
Win32 support.

[045] - Systems of Ordinary Differential Equations 20
by Dennis Darland (http://freshmeat.net/users/djdarland/)
Sat, Oct 29th 2005 13:11
About: SODE uses long Taylor series to solve systems of ordinary
differential equations. It generates code to solve the equations in either
Icon (or Unicon) or Maple. Using the Taylor series, estimates are made of
the location and order of poles. An effort is made to adjust H to control
the error. It has worked well in testing, but needs more testing as there
are so many possibilities. To solve STIFF equations, MAX_TERMS may be set.
Changes: MAX_TERMS may now be set from problem files. All existing problem
files were edited.

[048] - Unicode Description Utilities 2.15
by Bill Poser (http://freshmeat.net/users/billposer/)
Sat, Oct 29th 2005 14:23
Text Processing :: Linguistic
Utilities
About: The Unicode Description Utilities is a set of four programs for
finding out what is in a Unicode file. uniname defaults to printing the
character offset of each character, its byte offset, its hex code value,
its encoding, the glyph itself, and its name. Command line options allow
undesired information to be suppressed and the Unicode range to be added.
unidesc reports the character ranges to which different portions of the
text belong. unihist generates a histogram of the characters in its input.
ExplicateUTF8 is intended for debugging or for learning about Unicode. It
determines and explains the validity of a sequence of bytes as a UTF-8
encoding.
Changes: Two command line options were added which cause unidesc to list
the Unicode ranges in numerical or alphabetical order.

Sat, Oct 29th 2005 14:17
Database :: API
Database :: Front-Ends
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
About: WebPython is a Web-application development toolkit written in the
Python programming language. It contains an object relational database
layer, portable over MySQL and PostgreSQL; a document templating engine
complete with simple built-in automation; and a mechanism to store Python
objects in an SQL database, among other features.
Changes: This is a bugfix release for WebPython 0.6.2. Everything is the
same, except the project generation script now works correctly on both
Windows and Linux. The necessary changes have been made to NewProject,
namely completing a previous refactorization so that it stores its
execution status in an attribute rather than illegally returning a value
from its __init__ method.
