  Tue, Nov 15th 2005 14:07

Database
Database :: Front-Ends
Information Management

About: ackerTodo is a Web-based todo list manager that supports multiple
users, multiple languages, and themes.

Changes: This release includes the ability to delete global categories, a
few more strings separated out of tasks.inc, and a change to the Quick Add
feature to make tasks Open-Ended instead of Daily by default.

[002] - Amber for Parrot 0.3.1 
  by Roger Browne (http://freshmeat.net/users/eiffel/)
  Tue, Nov 15th 2005 14:10

Software Development :: Compilers
Software Development :: Interpreters

About: Amber for Parrot is an object-oriented scripting language for the
Parrot virtual machine. It combines the traditional advantages of
scripting languages with support for software correctness and large-scale
software engineering. Amber for Parrot has syntax and semantics somewhere
between those of Eiffel and Ruby.

Changes: Kernel classes are now implemented as Parrot PMC classes. Classes
have been added for serialization, introspection, and pathname
manipulation. There's a new test harness and about 40 new tests. Command
line options can now be overridden with directives in the script, and a
simplified "inspect" instruction is now implemented.

[004] - bbe 0.1.8 
  by tjsa (http://freshmeat.net/users/tjsa/)
  Tue, Nov 15th 2005 11:41

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: The commands < and > have been added for inserting the contents
of a file to an output stream. The commands u and f have been added for
initializing part of a block or a whole block with a specific byte value.

[006] - Championship Generator 2.0 
  by Marco (http://freshmeat.net/users/iking/)
  Tue, Nov 15th 2005 14:04



About: Championship Generator produces a list of all the meetings which
must occur between the participants of a championship. It can be used to
produce the challenges between teams if competitions are not foreseen to
directed elimination. It supports championships where it is necessary to
consider the matches at home and away. It can also try to avoid fights
between the big teams in the first and last days. It also supports the
case in which two teams have a mutual stadium, and therefore cannot
simultaneously play at home or away. 

Changes: The GUI is rewritten using the new QT 4 library. A Windows XP
port is now available. There are minor bugfixes.

[008] - Conary 0.71.1 
  by Michael K. Johnson (http://freshmeat.net/users/johnsonm/)
  Tue, Nov 15th 2005 14:00

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: This release logs each system management action it takes in
/var/log/conary, and any tracebacks are placed in that log. Many of the
other changes are internal structural changes

Communications :: Email
Information Management :: Document Repositories
Office/Business :: Groupware

About: Conflux is Web-based groupware and collaboration software. It
offers a shared central document repository, shared calendars, tasks and
contacts, and an email client. It has support for Unicode, multiple
languages, and date/time formats for the English, German, and Estonian
languages. Access rights are offered in hierarchical (group) form. 

Changes: Compatibility problems with Internet Explorer (XmlHttp) and
Conflux were resolved. The calendar no longer fails to display certain
events if the time zone is not UTC. _Conf.HEADER_SERVERNAME_OVERRIDE is
used correctly in generating the overriding server URL. Email attachments
with long filenames can be opened correctly with Mozilla-based browsers.
The resource view in Calendar no longer has problems when there are more
than 7 resources. A package for Windows platforms is provided.

[010] - Crate Game Engine Milestone 3 
  by Jason Turner (http://freshmeat.net/users/lefticus/)
  Tue, Nov 15th 2005 07:35

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: Crate Game Engine is now capable of loading XML game files. This
is a major change which now makes it possible for others to start writing
games for the engine. This release also includes binaries for Windows and
x86 Linux.

[021] - geolog 0.5 
  by Bernhard Nebel (http://freshmeat.net/users/nebel/)
  Tue, Nov 15th 2005 11:35



About: Geolog is a Perl script that you can use to download all the
information from the geocaching Web site geocaching.com about your own
caches, your found caches, and the ones you missed. It also works
incrementally, so after having initially downloaded everything, the next
time only the new caches will be downloaded. The scripts works under
Linux/Unix as well as under Windows (using ActivePerl). You can also
generate HTML pages from the downloaded information in a rather flexible
way by using templates.

Changes: In addition to a number of bugfixes, there is now much more
flexibility. Global abbreviations can be used to change the language or
the icons on all Web pages. Furthermore, the generated Web pages use a
central CSS file.

Desktop Environment :: Gnome

About: Gnumeric is a powerful and easy to use spreadsheet using GNOME. Its
goal is to provide a full featured spreadsheet and a smooth migration path
for people and organizations currently using proprietary applications. It
provides more sheet functions and greatly improved accuracy when compared
to Microsoft's Excel. A plugin system lets you extend Gnumeric, adding
functions, I/O formats, and real time data capabilities. The existing
Python, Guile, and Perl plugins let you define complex functions. Gnumeric
is capable of reading and writing MS Excel, and reading Lotus, Applix,
Quattro Pro, OpenCalc, XBase, DIF, SYLK, HTML, Psion, MPS, oleo, sc, misc.
text formats, and its native XML. It can also generate Latex, HTML, and
others.

Changes: An elusive problem causing crashes when selecting File->Open, was
fixed. This affected non-English users with non-UTF-8 locales, as well as
the Win32 build. The XML SAX importer has been improved, and will one day
replace the current memory-hungry DOM importer. The Lotus 1-2-3 importer
has been vastly improved. Assorted crashes have been fixed.

About: The Mobile Device Information project is a Java Swing application
that provides desktop interface access to the WURFL (Wireless Universal
Resource FiLe). The WURFL contains information about the capabilities of a
huge number of wireless devices. The Mobile Device Information project
allows users to search for individual devices, or devices that meet

support at least 65536 colours?"

Changes: A problem where devices that forward-reference their fallback
devices in the WURFL file (and patch files) were not being correctly
included was fixed. Exceptions that occurred where capabilities were
defined in devices, but not initialised in the "generic" device were
fixed. Right-clicking the Results list now shows a simple text version of
the results for selection and copying. A new test for finding "rogue"
capabilities was added in the WURFL Analysis tool.

to provide email scanning from the Internet to any internal network, and
is ideal for helping to protect your "Other OS" LAN from harm, especially
when used in conjunction with a firewall and other Internet proxy servers.
It is designed to enable scanning of incoming email messages for viruses,
worms, trojans, spam, and harmful attachments. Because viewing HTML email
can enable a spammer to validate an email address (via Web bugs), it can
also provide HTML stripping.

Changes: bytesfree was changed to terminate p3scan after notification
after no disk space. The ability to not use iptables redirection was
added. Space available checking was fixed.

  Tue, Nov 15th 2005 23:10

Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks

About: PHP-Controller implements the controller for building MVC
applications. The controller gives PHP applications a single entry point,
from which the user sends all requests to from the view to model, removing
the need to have to write code describing how the data will interact with
the presentation. This project is strongly influenced by the way current
Java Pages are handled and makes strong use of PHP classes for all pages.
The controller itself is an XML file which determines which classes are
accessible by whom. 

Changes: A draft (v0.2) schema has been proposed. Forms are now handled in
controller.xml. Form-forward was added to page element. A datasource
element was added to handle database connection. The authentication method
is now defined in authentication-form, and is no longer static. Basic
PEAR:raiseError() support was added. Aliases now handle GET arguments and
are appended arguments provided in controller. Most explodes were replaced
with strpos, strlen, and substr for speed. Bugs should be expected. One or
many pages and aliases are now supported; previously, at least two were
required.

[064] - sshdfilter 1.4.1 
  by Greg (http://freshmeat.net/users/grg/)
  Tue, Nov 15th 2005 06:35

System :: Networking :: Firewalls

About: sshdfilter automatically blocks ssh brute force attacks by reading
sshd log output in real time and adding iptables rules based on
authentication failures. Block rules are created by logging on with an
invalid user name, or wrongly guessing the password for an existing
account. Block rules are removed after a week to maintain a small list of
blocks. It also comes with a LogWatch filter. 

Changes: Support was added for Suse 10.0 RC 1, CentOS, and Red Hat
Enterprise Linux ES release 4. The program now daemonizes like sshd, so it
makes a better replacement for sshd in the startup scripts. select() is now
used to read sshd output, making repurgetime much more responsive when a
small value is given. Email can be sent to someone optionally on block
events. More support was added for IPv6 and conversion to IPv4. A
typographical bug in IPv6 to IPv4 conversion of 1.4.0 was fixed.

[065] - strongSwan 2.5.7 
  by Andreas Steffen (http://freshmeat.net/users/asteffen/)
  Tue, Nov 15th 2005 06:53

Security
Security :: Cryptography
System :: Networking

About: strongSwan is a complete IPsec and IKEv1 implementation for Linux
2.4 and 2.6 kernels. It interoperates with most other IPsec-based VPN
products. It is a descendant of the discontinued FreeS/WAN project. The
focus of the strongSwan project is on strong authentication mechanisms
using X.509 public key certificates and optional secure storage of private
keys on smartcards through a standardized PKCS#11 interface. A unique
feature is the use of X.509 attribute certificates to implement advanced
access control schemes based on group memberships. 

Changes: CA certificates stored on a smartcard or USB crypto token are now
automatically loaded during system startup, thus eliminating the need to
copy them manually into the /etc/ipsec.d/cacerts/ directory. This
facilitates the configuration of strongSwan client installations so that a
user can now just plug in her personal token or smartcard to start a VPN
session. strongSwan is not affected by the NISCC Vulnerability Advisory
273756/NISCC/ISAKMP. Therefore, this release does not contain any security
fixes.

Multimedia :: Graphics :: Editors :: Vector-Based
Software Development :: Documentation

About: UMLGraph facilitates the declarative specification and drawing of
UML class and sequence diagrams. One can specify a class design using the
Java syntax complemented by Javadoc tags. Running the UmlGraph doclet on
the specification generates a Graphviz diagram specification that can be
automatically processed to create Postscript, GIF, SVG, JPEG, fig, or
Framemaker drawings. Similarly, sequence diagrams are specified using
declarative pic macros and compiled with the GNU plotutils pic2plot
program into a PNG, PNM, (pseudo) GIF, SVG, AI, Postscript, CGM, FIG, PCL,
HPGL, Regis, or TEK drawing.

Changes: This release adds package visibility for class members and
provides better control of class hiding. The distribution now provides
Java-based regression testing, and the source code more closely follows
Java's coding conventions.

Security
Security :: Cryptography
System :: Networking

About: The WiKID Strong Authentication System is a highly scalable, secure
two-factor authentication system consisting of a server, a token client,
and network clients that connect a service such as a VPN or Web page to
the WiKID server to validate one-time passcodes. The user enters their PIN
into the token client, where it is encrypted and sent to the server. If the
PIN is correct, the encryption valid, and account active, the one-time
passcode is generated, encrypted, and returned to the user. It is simple
to implement and maintain, allows users to be validated automatically,
requires no hardware tokens, has a simple API for application support via
a COM object and Java component, supports multiple domains, and supports
replication for fault tolerance and scalability.

  Tue, Nov 15th 2005 05:39

Communications
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Software Development :: Build Tools

About: XINS is a technology used to define, create, and invoke remote
APIs. XINS is specification-oriented. When API specifications are written
(in XML), XINS will transform them to HTML-based documentation and Java
code for both the client-side and the server-side. The communication is
based on HTTP. XINS competes with the complex SOAP technology. Main design
goals include simplicity, scalability, and testability. XINS is not only a
specification technology, but also an application development framework.
It offers transaction logging, unique log documentation, and active code
generation. 

Changes: This major release turns XINS into a Java-based Web Services
development framework. Server-side SOAP and XML-RPC support was added
along with filtering for diagnostic context IDs and a meta-function for
automated ACL checking. Unit tests for API implementations and multiple
implementations per API are now supported. API stubs and API unit tests
can be generated from examples. Generated test forms were improved.
Various other enhancements and bugfixes were implemented. Extensive
testing and performance tuning was performed.

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: CD Audio

About: XO Wave is a digital audio workstation which offers powerful
features and an intuitive cross platform user interface. It provides
simple yet powerful recording, editing, mixing, CD Burning, and scripting
(via the XML session file) as well as basic effects, including reverb,

is separate from the GUI, which allows for intelligent management of
background tasks and the ability to use separate machines for the
interface and for playback. 

Changes: This release includes a workaround for an Apple bug (which
sometimes caused the JVM to crash), as well as a fix for a bug that
sometimes caused non-fatal errors (such as buffer underflows) to crash the
audio engine and report extraneous errors, especially on Linux. This
release also improves compatibility with pre 0.16.0 CD masters, and
includes a few minor cosmetic and usability improvements. A few smaller
bugs have been fixed.
