Sat, Nov 26th 2005 23:37
Internet :: Name Service (DNS)
About: Dnsmasq is a lightweight, easy to configure DNS forwarder and DHCP
server. It is designed to provide DNS and (optionally) DHCP to a small
network. It can serve the names of local machines which are not in the
global DNS. The DHCP server integrates with the DNS server and allows
machines with DHCP-allocated addresses to appear in the DNS with names
configured either in each host or in a central configuration file. Dnsmasq
supports static and dynamic DHCP leases and BOOTP for network booting of
diskless machines.
Changes: The main change in this release is the addition of
internationalization code and translations for German, Spanish, French,
Indonesian, Polish, and Romainian. There are also a couple of bug fixes
for unusual DHCP configurations, and better handling of errors returned to
dnsmasq from upstream nameservers.

Sat, Nov 26th 2005 23:14
About: GWintree is a genealogy chart program for Linux, which produces 2
styles of compact full charts from GEDCOM data, showing all blood
relatives. Options are available to show ancestors only or descendants
only. Charts can be printed across multiple pages or saved as image files,
and can display over 1000 families, showing all links, optionally
colour-coded, and formatted so families are not split by page breaks. It

and incorporates a simple data entry interface to create/edit/view GEDCOM
files.
Changes: The data view/edit interface has been extended to support most of
the GEDCOM 5.5 specification. Options for the boxchart family tree have
been extended to allow a wide choice of box and text styles. Support for
including pictures in family trees has been added.

ratio thanks to its lightweight DOM-inspired design: the implementation and
API are extremely simple and compact, yet powerful, flexible, and easy to
modify and/or use.
Changes: Tag attributes' values are now escaped as HTML entities. An
optional "warnings" parameter was added to the Template constructor.
HTMLParser is now prevented from decoding some HTML entities in attribute
values when parsing template markup.

[015] - HTTP extension for PHP 0.19.0
by Michael Wallner (http://freshmeat.net/users/_mike_/)
Sat, Nov 26th 2005 23:38
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Software Development :: Libraries :: PHP Classes
About: The HTTP extension for PHP aims to provide a convenient and
powerful set of functionality for one of PHP's major applications. It
eases handling of HTTP URLs, dates, redirects, headers, and messages,
provides means for negotiation of clients' preferred language and charset,
as well as a convenient way to send any arbitrary data with caching and
resuming capabilities. It provides powerful request functionality if built
with CURL support. Parallel requests are available for PHP 5 and greater.
Changes: http_negotiate_content_type() was added. A bug in
http_negotiate_*() which was triggered when a client sent spaces within
accept headers was fixed. Support for etag hashing through libmhash was
removed. The HTTP_ETAG_* and HttpResponse::ETAG_* constants were removed.
The http.etag_mode INI setting was changed to accept a string specifying
the hash algorithm to use for generating etags. CRC32, MD5, and SHA1 are
available out of the box, with MD5 being the default. If pecl/hash is
available, any algorithm this extension provides can be used.

Education
Scientific/Engineering
Scientific/Engineering :: Artificial Intelligence
About: Ikaros is a framework for writing and running component-based
simulators. It is used for simulations of brain areas and learning models,
but is general enough to be easily used for any discrete-time simulations.
A simulation consists of modules written in C or C++ that are connected in
the simulator, with connections specified in an XML file. It runs on the
console, and can optionally generate a dynamic browser-based UI with SVG
for graphics generation. There are also socket-based hooks for adding a
full GUI. The package contains a number of modules and complete
documentation for working with the framework.
Changes: This version features a completely cross-platform graphical
frontend, implemented as a dynamically generated SVG-rendered Web page. It
works with Safari and Firefox 1.5 (as well as earlier versions, if compiled
with support for SVG). A few new modules were included along with a number
of bugfixes. The build systems were improved slightly to detect Linux and
Mac OS X, so there is now one downloadable tarball for both platforms.

[020] - MultiTail 3.7.4 (Development)
by Folkert van Heusden (http://freshmeat.net/users/fvh/)
Sat, Nov 26th 2005 11:46
System :: Logging
System :: Monitoring
System :: Systems Administration
About: MultiTail lets you view one or multiple files like the original
tail program. The difference is that it creates multiple windows on your
console (with ncurses). Merging of 2 or more log files is possible. It can
also use colors while displaying the log files (through regular
expressions) for faster recognition of what is important. It can also
filter lines (again with regular expressions). It has interactive menus
for editing given regular expressions and deleting and adding windows. One
can also have windows with the output of shell scripts and other software.
When viewing the output of external software, MultiTail can mimic the
functionality of tools like 'watch'.
Changes: The screen can now also be split-up in more than two columns. For
each column, the width can be set and the number of windows in it can be
set. The regular expression window now also displays how often a regexp is
matched. Commandline parameters are now better checked for validity. When
using the strip-option (which removes pairs of lines of the logfiles
monitored), multiple matches can now be removed. A couple of small memory
leaks and some segfaults when using -E and clearing the scrollback buffer
were fixed.

[022] - Network PDF Server YAFPC-Appliance 0.91
by Wolfgang Ullrich (http://freshmeat.net/users/ullrich/)
Sat, Nov 26th 2005 03:19
About: YAFPC-Appliance is a CD-ROM image based on KNOPPIX technology and
the PDF composer/printer/mailer YAFPC. Any PC booted from this CD can act
as a PDF print server and provide an unlimited number of network shared
virtual PDF printers. The system requirements are low. System
configuration can be done via a Web browser from any workstation in your
network. Virtual shared printers can be configured to apply letterheads,
watermarks, and appendices to all printed documents. After printing, a
document is sent to its owner by email, or can be accessed in a shared
folder on the server. Deployment is very simple.
Changes: Each virtual printer can now be configured to optionally store
the created documents in the user's home directory and/or send created
documents by email to the user. The "for development only" SSH server on
port 22 was closed.

[024] - Openwall Linux kernel patch 2.4.32-ow1 (Linux 2.4)
by Solar Designer (http://freshmeat.net/users/solardiz/)
Sat, Nov 26th 2005 01:32
Security
System :: Operating System Kernels :: Linux
System :: Systems Administration
About: The Openwall Linux kernel patch is a collection of security
"hardening" features for the Linux kernel. In addition to the new
features, some versions of the patch contain various security fixes. The
"hardening" features of the patch, while not a complete method of
protection, provide an extra layer of security against the easier ways to
exploit certain classes of vulnerabilities and/or reduce the impact of
those vulnerabilities. The patch can also add a little bit more privacy to
the system by restricting access to parts of /proc so that users may not
see what others are doing.
Changes: This release was updated to Linux 2.4.32. Fixes for three minor
kernel bugs which were too late for inclusion in 2.4.32 release were
included in this patch.

by Alexey Semenov (http://freshmeat.net/users/swajj/)
Sat, Nov 26th 2005 03:16
About: PTkSdict is a dictionary using Sdict dictionary format. Unlike
ptkdic or gtkdic, MySQL isn't needed; you can work with dictionary files
directly. It uses Unicode, meaning that words and articles all are in
UTF-8. There are two index levels, compression, and tools to convert from
text files to .dct and vice versa.
Changes: GUI cosmetic changes were made and the maximum article size was
increased to 256K (which is up to 128K for Cyrillic texts). The maximum
word size is now 2K. Dynamic memory reallocation was implemented for big
articles. Search in current article was added. A number of bugs were
fixed.

Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
About: SMS Framework is an Objective C framework for decoding SMS messages
in PDU format to objects. It is easily usable in Cocoa and GNUstep
environments, and it reduces developer responsibility for decoding
messages to extracting the raw messages from the phone. The XCode project
file contains three targets: one system wide framework, one framework to
include in applications, and a small application for testing the
framework.
Changes: This release applies a proper version numbering convention, adds
a GNUstep makefile, and fixes all the memory leaks, a bug that broke
reading the headers properly in multipart messages, and a bug that broke
extracting the header from messages in the default alphabet.
