[001] - aardmail 0.1.1
by Bernd 'Aard' Wachter (http://freshmeat.net/users/Aardvark/)
Thu, Nov 17th 2005 23:16
Communications :: Email :: Post-Office :: POP3
About: aardmail is a package with useful tools for different kinds of mail
handling. Current programs include a POP3 client (can be used to replace
fetchmail for getting mail from POP 3 servers), an SMTP client, a
minimalistic sendmail, and a minimalistic client for testing. All programs
support SSL for encryption, verification, and authentication. IPv6 works.
Changes: This release fixes a memory reallocation problem in smtpc. When
sending out more then one mail message at once, the memory was not
properly reallocated after sending the first message, which meant that all
messages bigger than the first one were truncated to the length of the
first message.

[002] - Active port forwarder 0.7.5
by jeremian (http://freshmeat.net/users/jeremian/)
Thu, Nov 17th 2005 10:32
System :: Networking
About: Active port forwarder uses SSL for secure packet tunneling. It is
designed for people without an external IP who want to make some services
available on the Internet. afserver is placed on the machine with a
publicly accessible address, and afclient is placed on the machine behind
a firewall or masquerade. This makes the second machine visible to the
Internet. Running afserver does not require root priviledges, nor does it
use other processes. Zlib is used to compress the transferred data.
Changes: Several minor and major bugs have been tracked down and fixed.

[003] - ADODB 4.67
by pipeweed (http://freshmeat.net/users/pipeweed/)
Thu, Nov 17th 2005 06:41
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Software Development :: Libraries
About: ADODB is a set of advanced PHP database abstraction classes. It
supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, Interbase/Firebird, Informix, Sybase SQL
Anywhere, Oracle, MS SQL 7 and 2000, SAP DB, Sybase, DB2, FrontBase,
Foxpro, Access, Netezza, LDAP, ODBTP, ADO, and generic ODBC. A metatype
system is built in, making it possible to figure out that types such as
CHAR, TEXT, and STRING are equivalent in different databases. It also
features portable database creation, database-backed session support (with
encryption), SQL performance monitoring, and database health checks.
Changes: The Sqlite driver is now PHP 5 compliant. The PostgreSQL not_null
flag is now set to false correctly. A check is now done in Replace() to
test whether a key is in fieldArray. The _file_get_contents() function was
missing in xmlschema. Week in year support was added to SQLDate(), using
the "W" flag. In sqlite, metacolumns was repeated twice, causing a PHP 5
crash. The debug output XHTML was made compliant.

[004] - AFPL Ghostscript 8.53
by Moritz Barsnick (http://freshmeat.net/users/barsnick/)
Thu, Nov 17th 2005 06:56
Multimedia :: Graphics
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Graphics Conversion
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Viewers
About: Ghostscript is a processor for PostScript and PDF files. It can
rasterize these files to a wide variety of printers, devices for screen
preview, and image file formats. Since applications tend to prepare pages
for printing in a high-level format such as PostScript, most Unix users
with low-level bitmap printers, such as inkjets, use GhostScript as part
of the printing process. In addition, Ghostscript is capable of converting
PostScript files, functionality comparable to Adobe Acrobat Distiller, but
on the command line. In addition, Ghostscript is used for file import and
viewing by a great many other applications, including xv, ImageMagick,
gimp, and xdvi. Several GUI wrappers for viewing PostScript and PDF files
exist, including GSview, ghostview, gv, ggv, and kghostview. This is far
from a comprehensive list.
Changes: Numerous bug fixes and improvements, particularly in the area
DeviceN (spot color) handling and the PDF interpreter were implemented.
The pdfwrite device can now create PDF/X-3 compliant documents using the
lib/PDFX_def.ps prefix approach. A Beta version level 2 Postscript output
device (ps2write) was added, which generates high-level PostScript
including text and images and graphics. Rendering performance for PDF's
with transparency was vastly improved (10x to 90x on files with many small
transparency regions/groups).

[005] - aiParts 0.8.4
by Brian Marshall (http://freshmeat.net/users/bmarshal/)
Thu, Nov 17th 2005 10:36
Scientific/Engineering :: Artificial Intelligence
About: aiParts is a set of C++ classes that implement artificial
intelligence techniques and some tiny sample programs. The classes
implement the pandemonium and emotion AI Patterns, and the High-Hope
technique. A "find the shortest path from A to B" sample program uses
subclasses of the High-Hope classes.
Changes: The primary change in this release was to move logic that affects
hopes from aipHHProblem to aspects attached to the hope emotion-components.
aipHHHope objects, using this logic, can now be added to other classes,
such as application-specific decision groups. Support was added for a set
of decisions to share a set of options. Several other small changes were
made.

[007] - Astaro Security Linux 4.029 (Stable 4.x)
by astaro (http://freshmeat.net/users/astaro/)
Thu, Nov 17th 2005 06:29
System :: Networking :: Firewalls
About: Astaro Security Linux is an all-in-one network security gateway
that includes a firewall, intrusion protection, virus protection, spam
protection, URL filtering, and a VPN gateway. Features include stateful
packet inspection, deep packet filtering, intrusion detection and
prevention, portscan detection, content filtering, virus detection for
email and Web traffic, whitelists and blacklists, IPSec and PPTP VPN
tunneling, spam blocking, proxies for HTTP, FTP, SMTP, DNS, SIP, SOCKS,
and Ident, logging, and reporting. The WebAdmin and Up2Date service make
it easy to install, manage, and update.
Changes: This Up2Date disables the SSLv2 Cipher Suite for WebAdmin
(because of a possible vulnerability) and fixes the Pluto crash with
malformed ISAKMP messages (DoS attack). It also solves issues with
accounting on PPP interfaces, multicast packet filter rules in WebAdmin,
and POP3 network definitions.

Thu, Nov 17th 2005 10:33
System :: Clustering/Distributed Networks
System :: Networking
About: Crossroads is a load balance and failover utility for TCP-based
services. It is a daemon program running in userspace and features
extensive configurability, polling of backends using "wakeup calls",
detailed status reporting, "hooks" for special actions when backend calls
fail, and more. It is service-independent; it is usable for HTTP(S), SSH,
SMTP, DNS, etc.
Changes: A new backend definition statement 'throughputlog' was
introduced. This causes crossroads to log throughput times, which helps in
timing backends and so on. The statement 'dumptraffic' was renamed to
'trafficlog' (to keep the ~log statements in logical sync).

[014] - fetchmail 6.2.5.4 (Stable)
by Matthias Andree (http://freshmeat.net/users/mandree/)
Thu, Nov 17th 2005 06:25
Communications :: Email
About: Fetchmail is a free, full-featured, robust, well-documented
remote-mail retrieval and forwarding utility intended to be used over
on-demand TCP/IP links (such as SLIP or PPP connections). It supports
every remote-mail protocol now in use on the Internet: POP2, POP3, RPOP,
APOP, KPOP, all flavors of IMAP, and ESMTP ETRN. It can even support IPv6
and IPSEC.
Changes: A security bug in fetchmailconf (CVE-2005-3088) that exposed
passwords was fixed. An IMAP timeout bug with certain servers was fixed
(Debian Bug#314509). The included gettext was updated. The parser source
files are now in the tarball for systems without flex/yacc. The build
system was revised and supports using FreeBSD's gettext from ports for
NLS, avoids stumbling across hesiod.h of insufficient HESIOD
implementations, supports separated (VPATH) and parallel (make -j4)
builds, and finally fixes resolv.h detection on FreeBSD.

every remote-mail protocol now in use on the Internet: POP2, POP3, RPOP,
APOP, KPOP, all flavors of IMAP, and ESMTP ETRN. It can even support IPv6
and IPSEC.
Changes: fetchmail now defaults to "localhost" for SMTP, even with
Kerberos. The SMTP/LMTP retry logic was fixed, and some memory holes were
plugged. Backslashes at the end of configuration lines now work more
intuitively. Fetchmail's IMAP client no longer mistakes unrelated
information for untagged responses. In "oversized messages" warnings, the
account name is mentioned. The Albanian translation is back. The manual
page was updated. Some other fixes were made.

About: Gourmet Recipe Manager is a simple but powerful recipe managing
application that is intended for the GNOME desktop environment, but
should work on any platform that Gtk supports. It allows you to collect,
search, and organize your recipes, and to automatically generate shopping
lists from your collection. It aims to make it easy to enter and
organize your recipes with an intuitive interface.
Changes: This release sports a new recipe card layout. The ingredients are
now placed in a separate pane so that you can scroll through the
description, image, and instructions while still looking at the
ingredients. This is particularly handy for recipes that reference
ingredients. The new layout also separates out editing from viewing, so an
"Edit" toggle button pops up edit mode; you no longer see the cluttered
tabbed view by default. Compatability with Python 2.3 was restored. A bug
which prevented emailing recipes from working was fixed.

[026] - Internet DJ Console 0.5.5
by Stephen Fairchild (http://freshmeat.net/users/psoriasis/)
Thu, Nov 17th 2005 14:39
About: Internet DJ console is a graphical shoutcast/icecast client that
runs under GTK+ and the JACK audio connection kit. In short, it's an
Internet radio app for making a live radio show or podcast. Features
include two main media players with a crossfader, a jingle player,
microphone signal processing (compressor and noise gate), IRC track
announcements with X-Chat, an automatic stream shut-off timer, MP3 or Ogg
streaming and recording at various bit rates, aux input for connecting
external JACK aware applications, and audio level meters.
Changes: A new media player has been added that plays a single song in a
loop during breaks in the music. The music file tagger now does Vorbis
tagging on Ogg and Flac files. G_FILENAME_ENCODING no longer needs to be
set. This version uses locale settings instead. The X-Chat message timer
delay reacts more responsively to being changed. Features have been added
to the X-Chat plugin. The Prefs window has been rearranged, and alignment
and naming improved. Some documentation has been added to the Doc folder.
The Recorder now saves filenames in the correct encoding.

by c_schmitz (http://freshmeat.net/users/cronostitan/)
Thu, Nov 17th 2005 06:36
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
About: PHP Surveyor is a set of PHP scripts that interact with MySQL to
develop surveys, publish surveys, and collect responses to surveys. Once a
survey has been created there are (currently) two ways to insert data into
the survey: either by a 'pretty' public screen which presents each
question one at a time, or by a quick and nasty data entry screen. It
includes the capacity to generate individualised 'tokens', so that
invitations can be issued to participants, which allows for good quality
control of surveys. It also has the capacity to set conditions on whether
questions will display (branching), numerous question types, and a basic
statistics function.
Changes: This version is the culmination of 12 months of development and
bugfixing for PHPSurveyor since the "stable" release of 0.98. The package
has undergone significant changes and enchancements, but it can still be
installed over the top of most existing 0.98final installations and
upgraded without losing data. This is labelled a "stable" release,
indicating that the recent months have been dedicated to bugfixing rather
than the development of new features. Several new languages were added;
some languages even have their own translated manual.

multi-threaded applications that create and destroy lots of cursors and
make a conspicuous number of concurrent INSERTs or UPDATEs. The psycopg
distribution includes ZPsycopgDA, a Zope Database Adapter.
Changes: This release introduces named cursors, which are used to retrieve
information from the backend in small chunks. Some inconsistencies in date
and time parsing were fixed.

About: Sahi is an automation and testing tool for web applications, with
the facility to record and playback scripts. Features include, in-browser
controls, text based scripts, ant support for playback of suites of tests,
and multi threaded playback. It supports HTTP and HTTPS. Sahi runs as a
proxy server, and the browser needs to use the sahi server as its proxy.
Sahi then injects JavaScript so that it can access elements in the Web
page. This makes the tool independent of the Web site or Web application.
Changes: This release adds supprt for access of input tags of type
"image". A bug regarding escaping of single/double quotes during recording
and playback has been fixed. A bug has been fixed regarding recursion/out
of memory errors while navigating to a proxy URL through the browser.
Javascript files have been concatenated to reduce the number of sockets
being opened.

Multimedia :: Graphics
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Capture :: Digital Camera
System :: Archiving
About: SortImagesGUI is a Java Swing application for sorting still images
from digital cameras by capture date from the EXIF header. The images are
sorted into subfolders by year, month, and day. Most of the EXIF-metadata
are inserted into a MySQL database with the MD5 sum of the image file as a
primary key. This makes it easy to find out if an image already exists.
Changes: This release fixes a minor bug in the file chooser. Hidden files
(starting with a dot) are now ignored. This fixes some warnings under Mac
OS X. The hidden Mac OS Finder meta files were also found but not sorted,
as they didn't contain any valid EXIF metadata.

"sorcery" offers advanced package management, but retains the choices,
options, and control not offered by many other distributions.
Changes: This release fixes an issue with leapforward URLs, a cosmetic
error in scribbler, a bug in the code that looks for the best default
answer for depends providers, and a problem with GPG verification.

Thu, Nov 17th 2005 10:50
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management
Software Development :: Compilers
Software Development :: Pre-processors
About: Stunnix Perl-Obfus is a unique solution for protecting your
valuable intellectual property from possible Perl source code
piracy/studying/rework. It's an advanced and extremely reliable obfuscator
for the Perl source code. It converts the Perl source files (.pl and .pm)
into highly mangled and obfuscated forms, making them extremely difficult
to study, analyse, reuse, or re-work for competitors or customers, while
fully retaining functionality of the original source code. It's not a
compiler to machine code, and the obfuscated form will still be the usual
Perl source code, and so will work on all platforms the original source
worked on.
Changes: This release adds the ability to specify the encoding of input
files using the --input-encoding switch. It has workarounds for several
bugs in standard Perl interpreters. The Project Manager GUI now allows you
to switch encoding off or on globally for a project using a new menu item
in the Project menu. A lot of useful obfuscation presets (switchable via
Project->'Switch debugging/product profile') were added to the Project
Manager GUI. The menu item Project->'Quit GUI' was added to the Project
Manager GUI. The most recent version of Stunnix Perl Web Server is used
for running the Project Manager GUI.

[060] - TrackFS 0.0.5
by Michael Riepe (http://freshmeat.net/users/tootired/)
Thu, Nov 17th 2005 23:27
Software Development :: Build Tools
Utilities
About: Trackfs is a small program that tracks file system changes made by
another program (or group of programs). It is similar to "installwatch",
but works quite differently. While installwatch uses LD_PRELOAD to
intercept library functions like open() and unlink(), trackfs runs the
child program(s) with tracing enabled and tracks the system calls they
make.
Changes: Forks are processed serially now. This should avoid the problems
trackfs had with some Perl scripts (e.g. pod2man). 32-bit (i386) versions
of trackfs will now complain if they're about to execute a 64-bit (x86_64)
binary. More bugfixes were made.

[061] - Transmission 0.4
by titer (http://freshmeat.net/users/titer/)
Thu, Nov 17th 2005 23:38
Communications :: File Sharing
Internet
About: Transmission is a BitTorrent client which aims to be as efficient
as possible. Only the Mac OS X version currently has a graphical
interface.
Changes: Downloading torrents with many pieces now uses less CPU time. UI
freezes which could occur when the hard drive is slow to respond were
fixed. Fixes have been included for difficult trackers which require a
"key" parameter or a User Agent field. The OS X version features a cleaner
look with a unified toolbar, a document icon for torrent files, a
Pause/Resume button for each torrent, a "Reveal in Finder" button, and a
contextual menu. A bug in which torrents kept "Stopping..." forever was
fixed. Several other minor UI improvements and fixes were done.

[062] - TYPO3 3.8.1
by Michael Stucki (http://freshmeat.net/users/mundaun/)
Thu, Nov 17th 2005 23:20
Database :: Front-Ends
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Indexing/Search
About: TYPO3 is a Web content management system which features automatic
creation of navigational menus, headlines, and other dynamic graphical
elements, automatic conversion and scaling of images, the ability to
present different templates based on variables such as client browser or
country code, support for multiple templates on a site, and a built-in
password-protection option. Pages can be timed to be shown on a certain
date, be hidden on a certain date or just temporarily hidden. TYPO3
supports search in SQL-databases and redesigning of a website at once is
just a matter of creating a single new template.
Changes: The automatic detection of the base href has been removed for
security reasons. A cross-site-scripting issue in showpic.php was fixed,
and phpinfo was publically viewable using a specific URL. Some more minor
security related fixes include random generation of the encryptionKey and
an upgrade of the phpMyAdmin extension from 2.6.2 to upstream 2.6.4-pl3.
Additionally, image alignment works properly again and the layers menu
will now work flawlessly in Opera browsers.

System :: Logging
About: Vice Stats is an advanced Web site statistics gathering package. It

bug in the creation of browscap-lite.ini which caused all visitors to
appear as bots was fixed. Multi-user mode is no longer incorrectly always
on. "jscookie" header mode is completed.

[067] - WiKID Strong Authentication System 1.0.0 (Ruby Network Client)
by nowen (http://freshmeat.net/users/nowen/)
Thu, Nov 17th 2005 07:42
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.
Changes: This is the initial release of the Ruby network client. Network
clients pass authentication credentials to the WiKID server, enabling
2-factor authentication. Sample files are provided under docs/example/ for
use with the WiKID server. Use example.rb for command line or CGI, or use
example.rhtml for mod_ruby/eruby.
