[002] - Achievo ATK 5.3 
  by Ivo Jansch (http://freshmeat.net/users/ivoibs/)
  Fri, Dec 2nd 2005 04:25

Database :: API
Database :: Front-Ends
Information Management

About: Achievo ATK is an object oriented Web-application framework. It is
targeted at developers who wish to focus on business logic instead of
coding HTML. Where other application frameworks mainly provide a large set
of utility classes, ATK provides a complete framework that requires only
small amounts of code to get usable applications, while maintaining full
flexibility. In other words, even 10 lines of code get you a working
application, but everything that is generated for you can be completely
customized. 

Changes: Performance was improved. The memory footprint was reduced. A
debug console, an Open Office document generator, an MS SQL driver,
several new attributes, an atkConfig class, an atkActionListener API, a
Traditional Chinese translation, and support for multiple named database
connections were added. The atkMetaNode was improved significantly. A
recordlist cache was added for dramatically increased performance in admin
pages. A direct linking feature was added for linking directly to edit
pages. Various other enhancements and numerous fixes were made.

[005] - arxtools 0.4.0 (Development)
  by Hagen Möbius (http://freshmeat.net/users/PunyTroll/)
  Fri, Dec 2nd 2005 04:37

System :: Archiving :: Compression

About: arxtools is a collection of tools to create, examine, and modify
ARX archives. It supports almost all the features of the Arxx API, hence
allowing external data referencing, merging, and relation sets.

Changes: This release adds some important features like path resolution
and getting information about items and relations. It also improves some
other features like the parsing of numeric values on the command line.
However, the most important change is that three tools have been removed.
arxdump is replaced by an improved arxget, arxstructure has been
integrated into arxmod, and arxarchive has been split between the two.
This means that the tool suite is now nearly minimal and the interface
will not be reduced for some time now.

[006] - Berkeley Unified Parallel C 2.2.1 
  by imipak (http://freshmeat.net/users/imipak/)
  Fri, Dec 2nd 2005 20:27

Software Development :: Compilers
System :: Clustering/Distributed Networks

About: Unified Parallel C (UPC) is an extension of the C programming
language designed for high performance computing on large-scale parallel
machines. The language provides a uniform programming model for both
shared and distributed memory hardware. The programmer is presented with a
single shared, partitioned address space, where variables may be directly
read and written by any processor, but each variable is physically
associated with a single processor. UPC uses a Single Program Multiple
Data (SPMD) model of computation in which the amount of parallelism is
fixed at program startup time, typically with a single thread of execution
per processor. Berkeley Unified Parallel C provides a compiler for
developing UPC software.

[008] - Car PC Development Kit 0.2.1 
  by Peter Willis (http://freshmeat.net/users/psypete/)
  Fri, Dec 2nd 2005 12:08

System :: Operating System :: Linux Distributions

About: Car PC Development Kit is a kit for making a Linux distribution for
a car PC. Unlike most distributions which come prepackaged and ready to
load, this distribution requires downloading, compiling, and post-setup
before you can load it into a system. The end result is a modular platform
for quickly putting together a small Linux system to copy onto boot media
and start using. The target platform is a mini-computer to be installed in
an automobile and used either headless or with a monitor and some input
device like a keyboard or remote control. 

Changes: Fixes LIRC support for both CAUI and MPlayer. Updates the CAUI
version, and updates the LIRC package to configure more buttons by
default.

  Fri, Dec 2nd 2005 23:06

Internet :: Name Service (DNS)
System :: Networking

About: Dual DHCP DNS Server is a combined DHCP/DNS server for small LANs.
Dynamic DHCP allocates/renews host addresses, while the caching DNS server
first tries resolving from DHCP-allotted names, then from cache, and only
then forwarding to external DNS servers. It supports an optional static
DHCP mode and static IPs, automatic dynamic DNS updates from DHCP, and the
ability to co-exist with other DHCP servers. It is self-configuring and
doesn't require the creation of zone files, and uses little memory and
CPU.

Changes: All known bugs were fixed.

[024] - Google Page Rank Checker 1.1 
  by Emre Odabas (http://freshmeat.net/users/eodabas/)
  Fri, Dec 2nd 2005 04:17

Software Development :: Libraries :: PHP Classes

About: Google Page Rank Checker is a PHP class that can be used to
retrieve the Google page rank of a page with a given URL. Page rank is a
family of algorithms for assigning numerical weights to hyperlinked
documents (or Web pages) indexed by a search engine. The page rank system
is used by the popular search engine Google to help determine the
relevance of a page. This class accesses the Google servers and queries
the page rank of a given URL. The page rank value returned by the class is
a number between 0 and 10. 

Changes: User-agent support was added. The class selects random google
hostnames in order to prevent abuse, and you may define extra google
hostnames. The class now first tries cURL, then fsockopen(), and then
file_get_contents() to connect google servers. A caching option was added.
Results can now be cached to flat files in order to prevent abuse and to
increase performance. Cache files are stored in seperate directories for
performance issues.

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Editors
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Speech

About: SndBite is a specialized audio editor designed for breaking large
recordings into smaller components with great efficiency. Its principal
intended application is in linguistic research where it is often desirable
to put each word or sentence into a separate file before further
processing. Its features include multiple simultaneous views of the
waveform at different resolutions, the ability to position window edges at
transitions between sound and silence, automated setting of cut points at
zero-crossings, automatic filename generation easily controlled by the
user, and optional automatic playback on window motion. It is scriptable
and may be run in batch mode without the GUI.

Changes: This release fixed a bug that caused an error exit if the
ancillary program, "Pause" was not available. It also added a workaround
for a bug in the MS Windows implementation of Tcl that prevented the
program from running. This bug is fixed in Tcl 8.5, now in beta.

About: SpamProbe is a spam detection program that uses a Bayesian analysis
of the frequencies of terms used in the email. Because it filters email
based on content rather than on general rules, it easily adapts itself to
the types of email that each individual user normally receives.

Changes: This release fixes a few minor problems in 1.3x1 and improves the
source code structure a bit more. It adds a new experimental feature. If
configure detects a working libungif and gif_lib.h on the system, it will
add support for extracting useful terms from GIF images in email messages.
These terms can provide much needed data for email messages that contain
nothing but headers and an image attachment.

  Fri, Dec 2nd 2005 20:07

Communications :: Ham Radio

About: SvxLink is a flexible general purpose voice services system for ham
radio use. It can act as a repeater controller or operate on a simplex
channel. The server consists of a core that handles the connection to the
transceiver. The transceiver audio is connected to the PC through the
sound card, and the PTT is controlled by a pin in the serial port. The
voice services are loaded into the core as modules. Examples of existing
voice services are a help system, a module that plays back everything you
say, a module to connect to other EchoLink stations, and a voice mail
module. The project also includes an EchoLink client GUI application
(Qtel).

Changes: The bug that made the SvxLink server crash when recording voice
mails on distributions other than Fedora has been fixed. A couple of other
bugs have been fixed. A new "connect by call" feature in the EchoLink
module has been added. The voicemail module can now send a notification
email when a new voicemail arrives for a user. Log entries in the log file
are now timestamped. It is now possible to use both DTR and RTS together
for PTT, which is required by some interface boards.

OpenGL/SDL with fun and simplicity in mind.

Changes: A few configuration-related bugs were fixed, related to failed
libpng and/or libvorbisfile dependencies even though they were installed.
Configuration with the --prefix option is now possible. The client code
has been completely deactivated for now. All calls to exit (which caused
unwanted behavior and crashes in some systems) have been replaced with
calls to _exit (which does the job everywhere).
