[001] - AcpiTool 0.4.4
by DLeemans (http://freshmeat.net/users/dleemans/)
Sun, Feb 5th 2006 09:05
System
System :: Systems Administration
About: AcpiTool is a Linux ACPI client. It's a small command line
application, intended to be a replacement for the apm tool. The primary
target audience are laptop users, since these people are most interested
in things like battery status, thermal status and the ability to suspend
(sleep mode). The program simply accesses the /proc/acpi or /sysfs entries
to get or set ACPI values. A computer running a Linux kernel from the 2.4.x
or 2.6.x series with ACPI enabled is needed. It also supports various
extensions for Toshiba, Asus, and IBM Thinkpad laptops.
Changes: This release fixes a bug where total battery runtime left was
calculated even if the AC adapter is online.

[002] - Active port forwarder 0.8
by jeremian (http://freshmeat.net/users/jeremian/)
Sun, Feb 5th 2006 18:41
System :: Networking
About: Active port forwarder uses SSL for secure packet tunneling. It is
designed for people without an external IP who want to make some services
available on the Internet. afserver is placed on the machine with a
publicly accessible address, and afclient is placed on the machine behind
a firewall or masquerade. This makes the second machine visible to the
Internet. Running afserver does not require root priviledges, nor does it
use other processes. Zlib is used to compress the transferred data.
Changes: A lot of bugs have been fixed. It's now possible to transfer
multiple different tunnels in one connection.

by Manuel Moos (http://freshmeat.net/users/zman/)
Sun, Feb 5th 2006 10:06
Games/Entertainment
Games/Entertainment :: Arcade
About: In Armagetron, you ride a lightcycle around the game grid. You can
only make sharp turns of 90 degrees and a wall constantly builds up after
you. Make your enemies crash into your wall, but be aware that they are
trying to do the same to you. If you are fast enough, you may be able to
trap them, but the only way to speed up your lightcycle is to drive close
to the dangerous walls. Prepare for exciting strategic preparations
followed by action-packed close combat!
Changes: The 0.2.8 series, codenamed Artemis, introduces arenas of
arbitrary shape, nonorthogonal driving directions, and game recording
facilities. The functionality of the in-game administration interface has
been extended to all console commands. There are countless bugfixes and
some performance improvements.

About: BalanceNG is a modern software IP load balancing solution. It is
small, fast, and easy to use and setup. It offers session persistence,
different distribution methods (Round Robin, Random, Hash, and Least
Resource) and a customizable UDP health check agent in source code. It
supports VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol) to set up high
availability configurations on multiple nodes. It integrates pcap packet
dumping for debugging purposes and allows the implementation of a
"transparent forensic logging bridge". It supports "all service load
balancing" based on client IP address which allows almost any protocol to
be supported. It supports single legged operations, either on IP-Level or
as DSR (Direct Server Return / "nPath") configuration.
Changes: Minor bugs in argument parsing have been fixed.

[009] - ccontrol 0.9.0
by Rusty Russell (http://freshmeat.net/users/rustyq/)
Sun, Feb 5th 2006 23:02
Software Development :: Build Tools
About: The ccontrol program takes over the roles of the compiler and
linker, and reads a configuration file to decide what to do before
invoking them. This is particularly useful for centralized control over
commands and options, such as enabling distcc(1) and ccache(1).
Changes: A GNOME applet for changing symlink was added. A portability fix
was made to allow the software to work on PPC. Better performance and less
thrashing is exhibited with ccache and distcc when ccache mostly hits.

by sparkes (http://freshmeat.net/users/sparkes/)
Sun, Feb 5th 2006 10:09
Communications
Communications :: Email
Games/Entertainment
About: comic2email uses regular expressions to extract Web-based comics
and send them to your email account as a MIME include. It can be used
instead of having to remember to actively visit a Web site, or relying on
RSS and atom files that do little more than remind you visit a Web site.
Each email includes links to the strip's homepage and supporting store. It
takes about two minutes to add another comic to your collection.
Changes: This release uses Etag and Last-Modified headers to reduce
bandwidth usage. It accepts gzipped content to further reduce bandwidth
usage. A User-Agent string has been added. This release supports command
line options.

Changes: More strings can be extracted from the DMI table. A new command
line option was added to vpddecode, making it possible to extract a single
string from the VPD record. Many product names were added to vpddecode.

[017] - gimmage 0.1.5
by Bartek Kostrzewa (http://freshmeat.net/users/tschew/)
Sun, Feb 5th 2006 18:36
About: Gimmage is a simple image viewer that aims to have a minimalist
interface and tries to be keyboard operable for browsing through a large

Glib::ustring in preparation for proper internationalisation. A segfault
when only one image was loaded and the spacebar was pressed has been
fixed. This release is prevented from attempting to open EPS files. They
sometimes include a TIFF section, and the program was erroneously
recognising them as TIFF images.

rogue-likes or the top-down, 2D, turn-based CRPGs that disappeared in the
early 90s, then this is for you.
Changes: The biggest change is to the source distribution installer, which
is more like a typical UNIX program now. Other changes include some new
sprites and minor bugfixes.

[032] - Papyrus Library 0.1.1
by Rick Vinyard (http://freshmeat.net/users/rvinyard/)
Sun, Feb 5th 2006 13:53
Software Development :: Libraries
Software Development :: Widget Sets
About: Papyrus is a 2D C++ scenegraph library that utilizes the cairo
library to perform drawing operations. In this respect, it is similar to
the Gnome::Canvas library. The initial implementation focuses on function
over form. As a result, it should not be considered an optimized run-time
library.
Changes: Drawing operations have been changed from cairo to cairomm.
Support has been added for factory methods to create drawables. The
Pattern class has been removed, since the cairomm pattern class is now
available. There are numerous bugfixes and other minor enhancements.

Information Management :: Records Management
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Viewers
About: Photo Organizer is multi-user photo management tool that was
designed for professional photographers. It offers a searchable photo
database that supports photo version control, client management, photo
submission history, EXIF, IPTC, XML, and XMP, user quotas, a datebook, and

handle over a hundred image formats including several RAW formats.
Changes: This release adds sub-albums and introduces the Orphanage, to
store photos that are deleted but referenced in shop transactions. It adds
default ICC profiles for cameras and extended ImageMagick sharpening
options. It reduces the platform dependence of the install script, and
fixes some major shop module bugs.

[034] - phpManta Mdoc 1.0.3
by JM Faure (http://freshmeat.net/users/jmfaure/)
Sun, Feb 5th 2006 10:07
Software Development :: Libraries :: PHP Classes
About: Mdoc is an auto-documentation tool for PHP code to create manuals
like the PHP manual at php.net, which is a style common to the PHP
community and which is very efficient to share your code as APIs. Custom
output format can be built thanks to a powerful template feature and can
be in any structured language such like XML, PDF, or CHM.
Changes: The Mdoc and Mtest classes are also available in PHP 5 syntax.
Some corrections have been made in the example and test scripts.
$force_php4 is now disabled so that the scripts detect which PHP version
is running on the server and load the appropriate classes.

[035] - SchemaSpy 2.1.1
by John Currier (http://freshmeat.net/users/johncurrier/)
Sun, Feb 5th 2006 23:00
Database
Database :: Front-Ends
About: SchemaSpy is a Java-based tool that analyzes the metadata of a
schema in a database and generates a visual representation of it in a
browser-displayable format. It lets you click through the hierarchy of
database tables via child and parent table relationships. Browsing through
relationships can occur though HTML links and/or though the graphical
representation of the relationships. It's also designed to help resolve
the obtuse errors that a database sometimes gives related to failures due
to constraints.
Changes: MySQL's configuration file was updated to point to the latest
JDBC drivers. The URL for the Connector/J drivers was also given. A more
descriptive error message is shown when the correct version of Graphviz
dot isn't installed. Some people were having problems by passing -cp to
java and not to SchemaSpy. The classpath-related error messages now
clearly specify where -cp belongs. The classpath-related error messages
were revamped to include the classpath entries that weren't valid. This
should make it easier to track down JDBC driver issues.

an email based on the results of a content scan. It relies on third-party
products for the actual content scan. It uses the milter API to
communicate with sendmail, and backends to communicate with the actual
scanning engines. The backends can be chained to perform a series of
checks on each message in one run.
Changes: A bug in the config file parser was fixed. SpamAssassin
integration was made easier. The docs were clarified a bit.

[045] - STUBS and Franki/Earlgrey Linux 0.6.6-2 (STUBS Scripts)

Sun, Feb 5th 2006 08:27
System :: Operating System
System :: Operating System :: Linux Distributions
System :: Operating System :: Linux Distributions :: CD-Based
About: Franki and Earlgrey Linux are small but usable Linux distributions
designed to demonstrate the full extent of STUBS, the Toolchain and
Utility Build Suite. STUBS is a set of configuration files and scripts
designed to build (and optionally employ) toolchains from just a list of
desired packages, and has scripts capable of downloading sources as
necessary beforehand. It is designed to both bootstrap and work within the
Franki Linux environment, requiring just kernel headers and working
make/gcc/binutils to do so.
Changes: This scripts update adjusts the "build" script so it recognizes
whether the toolchain has a configuration-detection helper script,
allowing build scripts to become smaller. This is presently required for
building the 0.9.0pre1 distribution packages with the 0.9.0pre1 toolchain.

[052] - udp_copy2 1.0
by lacos (http://freshmeat.net/users/lacos/)
Sun, Feb 5th 2006 23:09
Internet
Utilities
About: This small tool consists of two executables, udp_send2 and
udp_recv2, implementing plaintext non-interactive data transfer over
UDP/IPv4 with a preset transfer rate. On lossy links, it yields better
throughput than TCP-based transfers. It may also be used for smooth user
space throttling. It dedicates a mode to SNAT/MASQ, so the receiver can
initiate transfer from behind a firewall. It features a very precise user
space packet scheduler. It handles SIGSTOP in a rational way. It only
transfers in one direction for one invocation. It needs and uses no
synchronous I/O multiplexing. Shell access is required on both ends. The
package also contains the auxiliary multi-threaded tool "bigpipe", which
can be used to reduce pipeline latency.
Changes: The package has been ported to Cygwin 1.5.19-4. Some messages are
more user friendly now. Several small portability and documentation related
fixes have been applied against bugs which likely manifested nowhere. The
multi-threaded program "bigpipe" has been added for Unix98 platforms and
Unix95 platforms with Posix Threads. It promotes asynchronicity among
members of a pipeline. It helps in advancing through regular files on
NFS-, SMB-, or USB-mounted devices. This benefits udp_copy2 directly
because it requires very low latency on stdin/stdout. The version
numbering has been sanitized.

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 version implements some bugfixes to bring back full event
handling functionality (KeyEvents) in FireFox 1.5. An example to show how
the onscroll event channel works has been added, and many other minor bugs
are fixed.

[056] - Zero Install Injector 0.18
by Thomas Leonard (http://freshmeat.net/users/tal197/)
Sun, Feb 5th 2006 08:29
Internet
Software Development :: Version Control
System :: Archiving :: Packaging
About: The Zero Install Injector makes it possible for users to install
software easily and without the need for root privileges. It takes the URL
of a program's interface description and chooses suitable versions of the
program and all of its dependencies (also identified by URLs) according to
the user's policy settings (eg. "stable", "testing", "minimal network use",
etc). The chosen versions are downloaded and cached and the program is run,
using environment variables to let it find the components.
Changes: A copy of the GUI is included in the main archive so that console
mode isn't needed on the first run. GPG signatures can be placed in an XML
comment so that signed interfaces are still well-formed XML (and can be
styled with XSLT, for example). Support was added for downloading with
FTP, not just HTTP, and for extracting from RPMs, not just tarballs. If
plash is installed, it is used to sandbox the extraction process as an
extra layer of security (to protect against bugs in tar or cpio).
