using a set of heuristic rules. BFilter has a built-in JavaScript engine
which detects popups and js-generated ads.
Changes: A Mac OS X version is now available. Support for Win9x was
re-introduced. A few bugs were fixed, and several new command-line options

[018] - dotDefender 2.0beta3
by dotdefender (http://freshmeat.net/users/dotdefender/)
Mon, Dec 19th 2005 04:03
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: HTTP Servers
About: dotDefender secures Web sites against a broad range of HTTP-based
attacks, including session attacks (e.g. denial of service), Web
application attacks (e.g. SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and known

Changes: The ability to define a list of IP addresses that are authorized
to access the management GUI was added. The "admin" password is now
configurable. The refresh message now correctly displays after updating
settings. The dotDefender alert now displays instead of the standard
Apache error message. The signature list was indexed, enabling categories
to be updated.

Mon, Dec 19th 2005 01:43
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Presentation
About: Galleria is a command-line tool to turn a directory of images into
a Web gallery. It goes through the directory of pictures, resizes them to
a specified size, and creates thumbnails. Afterward, index and detailed
HTML pages are produced. For its layout, galleria relies on templates.
galleria comes with a nice default template, but custom templates can be
easily created.
Changes: A lot of typos in both the program and the manpage were fixed.
The possibility to specify the image quality for the thumbnail and large
image was added. The possibility to specify a description file was added,
so you can add a description with each image. A flag was added to
automatically convert images to JPEG, so now you can have a BMP gallery if
you want. The way imagemagick is called was changed to make porting to
Windows easier. UTF meta tags were added to the default templates.

[026] - GTK ADI Library 0.1.2
by Leonid Zolotarev (http://freshmeat.net/users/leoz/)
Mon, Dec 19th 2005 19:39
Desktop Environment
Desktop Environment :: Gnome
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
About: GTK ADI Library is a library containing GTK ADI widgets. ADI stands
from Advanced Document Interface, and is an MDI (Multiple Document
Interface) implementation. It contains a common MDI interface widget and
several MDI representations (views). There are currently two views
available: a "classical for GTK" tabbed MDI view, and an aligned MDI view.
The aligned MDI view can have all child windows visible on the same parent
screen, but without wasted space between them as can usually happen when a
traditional MDI widget is used. Further development will include a window
MDI view, where all the child windows are represented by the standard GTK
windows or dialogs.

[028] - HTTP client request class 2005.12.18
by Manuel Lemos (http://freshmeat.net/users/mlemos/)
Mon, Dec 19th 2005 19:48
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Software Development :: Libraries :: PHP Classes
About: HTTP client is a PHP class to make HTTP requests. It can submit
requests via a proxy server, establish secure connections (HTTPS) via a
proxy server, PHP with OpenSSL support, or the Curl library with optional
SSL client certificates. It supports HTTP authentication directly or via
proxy using the SASL library, like HTTP Basic, HTTP Digest, and NTLM
(Windows or Samba). It submits POST requests with user-defined form
values, file uploading, or with user-defined request bodies. It retrieves
the HTTP response headers and body data separately. It handles cookies and
automatic redirection handling.
Changes: Cookie handling was fixed to make the cookie values be sent to
the server exactly how they were sent to the client, so now the class can
be used to log in to sites such as Yahoo!, Hotmail, Gmail, MySpace, and
Friendster. Error handling of form submission with file uploading was
fixed.

Changes: This release fixes setting of shlibpath variables
(LD_LIBRARY_PATH and similar) and the order of link search paths for
creating and testing of uninstalled libraries. Silent failure of
'libtoolize --ltdl' if libltdl files are not present has been fixed. If
non-pic objects were not compiled, and libtool is called in link mode,
libtool no longer silently creates an empty archive, but rather falls back
to pic objects. A potential denial of service by malicious other users for
tmpdir directory creation at relink time has been fixed.
