features. JFormDesigner fully supports JGoodies FormLayout, TableLayout,
GridBagLayout, and other standard layout managers. The advanced
GridBagLayout support allows the specification of horizontal and vertical
gaps (as in TableLayout), which makes designing a form with consistent
gaps using GridBagLayout much easier.
Changes: The "labelFor" property of labels is assigned in the component
context menu. Refactored or unknown properties may be removed or
reassigned. Some minor bugs were fixed.

by yoann (http://freshmeat.net/users/yoann/)
Mon, Nov 28th 2005 07:30
Security
About: The PreludeDB Library provides an abstraction layer upon the type
and format of the database used to store IDMEF alerts. It allows
developers to use the Prelude IDMEF database easily and efficiently
without worrying about SQL, and to access the database independently of
the type/format of the database.
Changes: Automated reconnection to the database server was fixed. Saving
to standard output is allowed with preludedb-admin. The "preludedb-admin
delete" command was made safer to use by forbidding deletion unless a
criterion is provided. A workaround was added for an invalid library run
path through the MakeMaker generated Makefile. The Perl bindings that the
Makefile generated with DESTDIR appended twice were fixed.

[039] - MIB Smithy SDK 3.4
by Muonics (http://freshmeat.net/users/muonics/)
Mon, Nov 28th 2005 06:38
Software Development :: Code Generators
Software Development :: Compilers
Software Development :: Libraries :: Tcl Extensions
About: MIB Smithy SDK is a dynamic extension to Tcl/Tk (8.1+) that allows
development of custom scripts for controlling SNMP agents, manipulating
SMI definitions, doing conversions, and more. It is based on the core of
Muonics' MIB Smithy, and the SDK supports SMIv1 and SMIv2, as well as
SNMPv1/v2c/v3 with HMAC-SHA-96 and HMAC-MD5-96 authentication and CBC-DES
privacy. It also provides complete read-write access to all elements of
SMI/MIB Module definitions, unlike similar extensions that provide only
read access to a limited subset. The SDK allows multiple discrete SMI
databases and SNMP sessions, and provides all of the built-in validation
and error recovery capabilites of the full product, without the visual MIB
development environment.
Changes: New features were added for formatting SNMP data for display,
performing SNMP Get-Next walks of agent subtrees, using enumerated INTEGER
labels in request variable bindings, and simplifying session cloning. Many
performance improvements were made. A crash was fixed in the APIs for
calculating USM KeyChange values.

About: PHP is a widely-used Open Source general-purpose scripting language
that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into
HTML. Its syntax draws upon C, Java, and Perl, and is easy to learn. PHP
runs on many different platforms and can be used as a standalone
executable or as a module under a variety of Web servers. It has excellent
support for databases, XML, LDAP, IMAP, Java, various Internet protocols,
and general data manipulation, and is extensible via its powerful API. It
is actively developed and supported by a talented and energetic
international team. Numerous Open Source and commercial PHP-based
application packages are available.
Changes: This is a regression correction release aimed at addressing
several issues introduced by PHP 5.1.0. The native date class is withdrawn
to prevent namespace conflict with PEAR's date package. A fatal parse error
when the last line of the script is a PHP comment has been fixed. eval() no
longer hangs when the code being evaluated ends with a comment. An
inconsistency in the format of PHP_AUTH_DIGEST between Apache 1 and 2
SAPIs has been fixed. safe_mode/open_basedir checks inside the cURL
extension are improved.

binaries on which rsync depends (such as SSH), the ability to manage
multiple instances of rsync connections to separate clients in parallel,
the ability to use multiple logical partitions (vaults) in a configurable
fashion for purporses of redundancy and added reliability, and the use of
hard links for files that have not changed from one archive to the next.

About: The sysstat package contains the sar, sadf, iostat and mpstat,
commands for Linux. The sar command collects and reports system activity
information. The sadf command may be used to display data collected by sar
in various formats (XML, database-friendly, etc.). The iostat command
reports CPU statistics and I/O statistics for tty devices and disks. The
mpstat command reports global and per-processor statistics. The
information collected by sar can be saved in a file in a binary format for
future inspection. The statistics reported by sar concern I/O transfer
rates, paging activity, process-related activites, interrupts, network
activity, memory and swap space utilization, CPU utilization, kernel
activities, and TTY statistics, among others. Both UP and SMP machines are
fully supported.
Changes: A new field was added to mpstat and iostat: %steal. Sar was
updated to take into account CPU steal time. An off-by-one error in
ioc_conv which was corrupting device names on 64-bit architectures was
fixed.

Mon, Nov 28th 2005 11:06
System :: Systems Administration
About: Vertigo is a system for managing one or more servers. It allows
administrators to manage virtual hosts on their servers without having to
manually edit configuration files. Moreover, it allows users of these
virtual hosts to manage their email addresses and aliases, as well as
giving them a way to access their backups. All of this is done using a
series of Web interfaces. Vertigo itself consists of a Python library for
changing the configuration of domains (virtual hosts), a series of Web
applications, and a range of services that does the actual manipulation of
configuration files.
Changes: Backups are listed correctly. An "administrator email" option on
domains has been introduced. This release uses Content-Disposition when
sending backup files to the users browser. There are other cosmetic fixes.
