[001] - ADOdb Lite 1.11
by Panama Jack (http://freshmeat.net/users/panamajack/)
Wed, Nov 23rd 2005 00:41
Database
Database :: Front-Ends
Internet
About: ADOdb Lite is a small, fast replacement for ADODB that uses 1/6th
of the memory and is up to 300% faster, while being compatible with a
subset of the most commonly used ADODB commands. It supports Frontbase,
MaxDB, MiniSql, MSSQL, MySQL, ODBC, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and Sybase.
Changes: Changes were made to the Session Handler's bz2, gzip, mcrypt, and
secret modules. Support was added for the dataFieldName function in the
session handler. Support for the pg_escape_string function was added in
the qstr function for postgres 7 and 8. A query counter and execution
timer were added.

[002] - aeon music player 0.2.3
by Milosz Derezynski (http://freshmeat.net/users/queuerunner/)
Wed, Nov 23rd 2005 11:30
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Players
About: aeon is a player that is meant to look nice and have an interface
that is as easy to use as possible. In contrast to players like XMMS/bmp,
noatun, etc., you can only play files from the library (akin to
RhythmBox/iTunes).
Changes: The 0.2.2 release had 2 build flaws. It included bmpx/uri.h
instead of uri.h inside src/uri.c. The former was present on the distcheck
test system, so distcheck went through without failure, but the build might
fail on other systems. Secondly, DBus was disabled by default at make
distcheck time, and hence distcheck didn't bother about the file
src/aeon-core.xml (DBus Interface definition XML), which was not part of
EXTRA_DIST in src/Makefile.am. Therefore, it ended up not being in the
resulting dist, which made the dist un-buildable with DBus. This release
fixes both errors.

About: BMP is an audio player that tries to maintain a stable audio
playback core with a powerful, yet easy-to-use remote API using DBus,
while also providing a skinned, yet easy and understandable user interface

Changes: This release is mostly a maintenance release. A few components
that BMPx shares with the aeon project were seperated out in SVN and are
now being used in BMPx as well as in aeon from a single source. This
release features the separated components, but brings no user-visible
changes in that regard.

Games/Entertainment
Games/Entertainment :: Turn Based Strategy
About: Ophiuchus is a multiplayer space strategy game in a similar vein as
the Master of Orion series. It is currently a very minimal but playable and
networkable game, and runs as a command-line program.
Changes: When multiple players arrive at the same uncolonized system at
the same time, none of them can colonize the planet now. Previously, the
player with the lowest ID got the planet, leading to an advantage to
players with lower IDs. This was a problem especially in single player
mode, when it gave a great advantage to the player over the computer.
Attack commands now always give feedback.

[048] - Optimization Solver for OpenOffice.org Calc rev. 90
by Kohei Yoshida (http://freshmeat.net/users/kohei/)
Wed, Nov 23rd 2005 00:47
Office/Business :: Office Suites
Scientific/Engineering :: Mathematics
About: The Linear and Non-Linear Optimization Solver (or simply the
Optimization Solver) is designed to compute an optimized set of decision
variables that either maximize or minimize a given objective function
while also satisfying a set of arbitrary constraints. It is widely used in
the field of operations research, and is a very useful business and
scientific tool that will help you make an informed decision on a
multitude of complex scenarios that you may encounter in your day-to-day
business operations or scientific research.
Changes: The matrix inversion algorithm which, due to its poor
performance, caused the application to "freeze" has been replaced with a
more efficient algorithm using LU factorization with forward and backward
substitutions. This should solve many reported lock-up problems. However,
this new algorithm has introduced one minor regression: it sometimes fails
to invert a matrix in a first run but succeeds in a subsequent run. So, if
the result looks erroneous, try running it a few times until the result
becomes consistent.

Database
Software Development :: Code Generators
About: PHP Object Generator (POG) is a PHP code generator which generates
clean and tested object oriented code for your PHP4/PHP5 application. It
is meant to eliminate the time a PHP programmer often wastes on repetitive
coding of the database access layer of an application simply because
different applications require different objects. By generating PHP
objects with integrated CRUD methods, POG saves you from writing and
testing SQL queries.
Changes: Compatibility with PDO (PHP 5.1 and above) was added. Code
generated with PDO as a database wrapper is compatible with other
databases such Oracle or MS SQL Server. Code can still be generated
without using PDO as a database wrapper and instead using the default POG
wrapper. An URL is included in the code header which allows you to
regenerate or modify your object more easily. Minor bugfixes and minor
performance improvements were made.

Text Processing
About: Redet is a tool for developing and executing regular expressions
using any of more than 30 search programs, editors, and programming
languages, intended both for developing regular expressions for use
elsewhere and as a search tool in its own right. For each program in each
locale, a palette showing the available constructs is provided. The
properties of each program are determined by runtime tests, which
guarantees that they will be correct for the program version and locale.
Additional features include persistent history, extensive help, a variety
of character entry tools, and the ability to change locale while running.
Redet is highly configurable and fully supports Unicode.
Changes: This release provides a workaround for a critical bug in Tcl 8.4
under MS Windows. (The bug is fixed in Tcl 8.5.) It fixes minor bugs that
arose under MacOS X using Tk-Aqua. There are some cosmetic improvements to
"this program" popups and program-specific control panels.

Wed, Nov 23rd 2005 05:48
System :: Logging
About: Rsyslog is an enhanced multi-threaded 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 version features a much-enhanced message parser which is
capable of better understanding different syslog message formats. An
example is BSD syslog, which lacks the hostname information inside the
message. Also, threading support for BSD has been completed and a number
of bugs have been fixed. It is recommended that users of the development
branch upgrade to this release.

[075] - TaskJuggler 2.2.0_beta2
by Chris Schlaeger (http://freshmeat.net/users/taskjuggler/)
Wed, Nov 23rd 2005 08:33
Office/Business :: Groupware
Office/Business :: Scheduling
About: TaskJuggler is a project management tool for Linux and Unix
system-based operating systems. Projects can be defined in a simple text
format, listing tasks and their dependencies. Reports are returned in HTML
or XML format. TaskJuggler does not only honor the task interdependencies
but also takes resource constrains into account. Using its powerful
filtering and reporting algorithms, the user can create task lists,
resource usage tables, status reports, project calendars, and project
accounting statements.
Changes: The two graphical front-ends that have been present in earlier
TaskJuggler releases have been merged into one new front-end, called
TaskJugglerUI. This was done to avoid name clashes on Windows/Cygwin. The
TaskJuggler user interface now supports printing of high-quality task and
resource reports. Major usability improvements were made for the GUI. The
GUI now supports multiple project templates. By pressing CTRL+D, the user
can insert or change a date using the comfortable date picker widget. The
GUI editor now supports search and replace over all files.

[076] - TCPfork 2.53
by Thomas Obermair (http://freshmeat.net/users/thomasobermair/)
Wed, Nov 23rd 2005 05:21
Internet :: Proxy Servers
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management
System :: Clustering/Distributed Networks
About: TCPfork is a userland TCP proxy with advanced load balancing
capabilities. Its core features are the ability to load balance on a
"least connection" basis and the ability to take the machine load into
account ("least load" or "least resource" load balancing). This is
implemented by using the bngagent UDP protocol. It performs "TCP open"
health checks by default and allows the use of external health check
scripts. TCPfork 2.x introduces a highly optimized multithreading
connection scheduler, allowing fast processing of high numbers of
concurrent connections.
Changes: Minor bugs have been fixed (-c option handling). The manual has
been updated. The mrtg script interface has been reactivated.

including a cleaned-up desktop with icons for browsing the computer,
filesystems, and administrative tasks, FAT defragmenting, ELF dynamic
linking, a built-in chain-boot loader and simple MBR formatting, file
browsing widgets and dialogs, Windows .ico icon file support, a generic
file viewing program, Italian keyboard support, new icons, and a new
splash screen. Some of the documentation has yet to be updated.

Wed, Nov 23rd 2005 14:20
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
About: WidgetServer is a Java/XML server-side GUI-framework which enables
an application to run as either a monolithic Swing app, a client/server
Swing app, or as a Web app without any change and without loss of
functionality. A rich widget set is supported that includes tree views,
tabbed panes, split panels, and much more. A unified widget-based,
object-oriented programming interface for Web and Swing GUIs is offered to
the developer to control and assemble the GUI. Web applications are fully
AJAX enabled. For Swing client/server applications, the framework handles
client/server communication, including compression and security layers. A
GUI builder is included.
Changes: This release brings several bugfixes in HTML parsing and better
support for external CSS files. Character sets for HTML page and form
templates are configurable, and a bug in the fileChooser has been fixed
(closing without choosing a file does not generate an exception any
longer). All internal file io operations are migrated to nio. HHTTP-based
communication for Swing clients has been implemented.

[082] - WordGenerator 1.0
by Bill Poser (http://freshmeat.net/users/billposer/)
Wed, Nov 23rd 2005 19:36
Text Processing :: Linguistic
About: WordGenerator generates hypothetical words from specifications of
their syllable structure. The user specifies the maximum length of the
words in syllables, the abstract structure of syllables in the language
(in terms of such units as consonants and vowels or onsets and rhymes),
and the actual sounds that comprise each abstract class (e.g. the list of
vowels in the language); WordGenerator then generates the words that
conform to this specification. Such lists are useful to field linguists
exploring the vocabulary of a language, and to designers of artificial
languages.

[083] - WSRF Plug-ins for OSGi 1.0
by alphaWorks (http://freshmeat.net/users/alphaworks/)
Wed, Nov 23rd 2005 21:48
About: WSRF Plug-ins for OSGi is a light-weight implementation of the Web
Services Resource Framework (WSRF) and associated specifications as OSGi
plug-ins for resource-constrained environments. The robust IBM On- Demand
Infrastructure (ODI) draws heavily from the Services-Oriented Architecture
(SOA) in order to build homogeneous interfaces for accessing, managing, and
integrating heterogeneous IT resources. It is imperative that such an
abstraction layer on top of the resources should not hamper the resources'
performance.

of them further decrease the amount of memory and/or the total runtime
needed for experiments. All classification learners write the confidence
of the prediction for both the binary and the multi-class case. Another
major improvement is a set of operators performing statistical
significance tests. Weka 3.4.6 was also integrated.
