  by Corcalciuc V. Horia (http://freshmeat.net/users/SevenRains/)
  Fri, Feb 24th 2006 03:23

Artistic Software
Communications
Communications :: BBS

About: alph implements and analyzes historical and traditional ciphers and
codes, such as polyalphabetic, substitutional, and mixed employing
human-reconstructable algorithms. It provides a pipe filter interface in
order to encrypt and decrypt block text to achieve transparency. The
program is meant to be used in conjunction with external programs that
transfer data, resulting in transparent encryption or decryption of
information. The program can thus be used as a mail filter, IRC filter, IM
filter, and so on. 

Changes: Two new ciphers were added: BEALE and ZIGZAG. The permutation and
combination tools were modified regarding the output file handling. Some
hash function returns were fixed and some unused variables were removed.
The special character in the help output was supressed and the cipher
count was corrected. The manpage was updated to reflect the changes.

  by Andrew Smith (http://freshmeat.net/users/arse/)
  Fri, Feb 24th 2006 16:11



About: Amazon API Search is a script to search Amazon. It interfaces with
Amazon's API interface and performs whatever search the user desires. It
then parses the data returned and inserts it in to an MySQL table.
Currently, the script only deals with basic returned data, and does not
have a user interface. In future releases this shold be corrected.

  by unDEFER (http://freshmeat.net/users/undefer/)
  Fri, Feb 24th 2006 03:17

System :: Filesystems
System :: Recovery Tools

About: anyfs-tools allows you to recover and convert filesystems while
using minimal extra disk space. Unlike other recovery tools, anyfs-tools
doesn't copy all the files found on other disks (or partitions), but only
saves information about the location of the file blocks to an external
inode table. After recovery, a user may mount the damaged filesystem with
anyfs and the external inode table and then interact with all recovered
files with any program. 

Changes: The following file formats are currently supported for
recovering: PNG, JPEG, BMP, PNM, TIFF, WAV, MIDI, MPEG3, OGG, AVI, TAR,
ZIP, RAR, BZIP2, PDF, ELF32, ASCII, 8-bit encoded text, UTF-8, UTF16-BE,
and UTF16-LE.

About: BanFromLog is a shell script that examines your /var/log/auth.log
and searches for the IP addresses of login attempts which use non-existent
user names. It is configured for use with sqlite or MySQL. 

Changes: Prints in HTML the list of banned IPs (the previous version, in
the option "show", only looked in the "actual" log and not in the
database). A bug has been corrected in the MySQL version (iptables -i ...

[010] - Blossoc 0.3 
  by Thomas Mailund (http://freshmeat.net/users/mailund_birc/)
  Fri, Feb 24th 2006 03:22

Scientific/Engineering
Scientific/Engineering :: Bioinformatics
Scientific/Engineering :: Medical Science Apps.

About: Blossoc is a linkage disequilibrium association mapping tool that
attempts to build (perfect) genealogies for each site in the input, score
these according to non-random clustering of affected individuals, and
judge high-scoring areas as likely candidates for containing disease
affecting variation. Building the local genealogy trees is based on a
number of heuristics that are not guaranteed to build true trees, but have
the advantage over more sophisticated methods of being extremely fast.
Blossoc can therefore handle much larger data sets than more sophisticated
tools, but at the cost of sacrificing some accuracy.

Changes: This version adds new clustering-scoring functions that improve
the mapping accuracy.

About: Box Backup is an online backup system for Unix. Backups are
encrypted, and changed files uploaded using an rsync-like changes-only
algorithm.

Changes: The diffing algorithm was highly optimised for speed. Bugs were
fixed. Solaris support was added. Portability improvements were made,
including a new autoconf based build. Xattrs are supported on Linux and

video recording and wireframe. gl2ps, a library to create Postscript and
similar files from the feedback buffer, has been incorporated, allowing
the use to create vector graphic screenshots. GTK+ 2.8 and pre-release
versions of ffmpeg should now be better supported.

[021] - delsafe 0.2.0_rc01 
  by psds (http://freshmeat.net/users/psdasilva/)
  Fri, Feb 24th 2006 01:10



About: delsafe is a set of utilities to hopefully allow you to recover
recently deleted files. Basically, when you delete or in certain cases
overwrite a file the original file is moved into a trash can. It does this
by overriding the original unlink, rename, open, and fopen library calls
using the Linux LD_PRELOAD mechanism. Trash cans are placed on top of each
mount point and are accessible by each user directly or through links
placed in the user's home directory. This makes deletion very fast
because, in fact, it is only a renaming. To each filename in the trash can
is appended a time/version stamp. 

Changes: Significant changes were made mainly to reduce the CPU overhead.

[030] - flactagger 2.0.0 
  by thomas (http://freshmeat.net/users/tochiro/)
  Fri, Feb 24th 2006 11:26

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio
System :: Archiving

About: flactagger is a tool for tagging FLAC files. Though it is useful
for tagging any FLAC file, its main purpose is to automate and simplify
tagging of multiple set of files. This is particularly useful when used
with an info file, and when the FLAC files are named according to
etree.org's naming conventions.

Changes: All Ruby code has been completely rewritten and Rubyfied. The C
module has been improved and is using FLAC's metadata level 2 rather than
1 to make things faster. Some options have been removed (-zPpq), and other
options have been renamed (-I to -j and -g to -S). The -T option has been
fixed. New options include -l (--list), -R (--remove-tags), -I
(--interactive), and -E (--include-existing-tags).

System :: Operating System

About: fli4l is a single-floppy Linux-based ISDN/DSL/ethernet-router. It
features configuration with some simple ASCII-files, several possible
connection-flavors (in/out/callback, and raw IP/PPP), channel bundling (an
extra channel can be added through a Windows/Unix-client), configuration of
multiple networks, least-cost routing, automatic choice of provider,
display/calculation of connection times and costs, and a Windows/Unix
client to control dial/hangup, monitor traffic and monitor incoming calls
on ISDN (see screenshot).

Changes: Some bugs in the old packet filter config were fixed. Some limits
in imond were raised, so users can use more different dial-in/-out
connections. Some fixes to the DNS server prevent the query that triggered
a dial-in to be lost. chrony can now notify other packages of time warps
(useful for hardware without an RTC battery). Some minor bugfixes.

  by tinybit (http://freshmeat.net/users/tinybit/)
  Fri, Feb 24th 2006 11:10

System :: Boot
System :: Emulators
System :: Filesystems

About: GRUB for DOS is a build of the GNU GRUB boot manager for DOS, and
can be run under real mode DOS. It also has many new features. For
example, it can be booted through BOOT.INI of Windows (grldr) and kexec of
Linux (grub.exe). The disk emulation feature is another enhancement over

Changes: gcc4 support. Limited support for returning to DOS from GRUB.EXE.
A new feature where GRUB.EXE can be used as a DOS device driver and be
started in CONFIG.SYS with a DEVICE line. Better IODELAY was made for
initialization of PIC to fix the keyboard-not-responding problem when
running through KEXEC. A better A20 gate control was made to help fix
various problems on GRUB boot.

Games/Entertainment
Games/Entertainment :: Turn Based Strategy
Internet :: WWW/HTTP

About: Imperium Galactica is a Solar Realms Elite clone. In it, you rule a
solar empire. The goal is to become and remain the most powerful empire.
You can gain strength by buying forces, and you can gain size by
colonizing planets. You start with some planets, and a little bit of
money. You are required to feed your people and army, and to pay to
maintain your planets and army. If you fail to do these things, disastrous
results may occur. You are given several turns of protection, during which
you cannot attack or be attacked, and cannot perform covert operations.
This provides a way for smaller empires to build up their defenses and
planets before they enter the real world. 

Changes: 2 new covert operations (Communications spying and Carriers
sabotage). A trade now take 3 turns to complete. War casualties are more
accurate. A dynamic food market pricing system. Some minor bugfixes and
game balancing tweaks.

[039] - iSearch engine 2.0.0 
  by Nomad (http://freshmeat.net/users/treseizero_org/)
  Fri, Feb 24th 2006 01:28

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries

About: iSearch is an internal Web site search engine. Written as a CGI
module, iSearch performs a search for one or more character sequences
(terms) within documents in a Web site, without needing external indexing
and filtering tools, like a database engine. iSearch performs real time
processing of documents every time it is invoked. Documents are found,
filtered from unnecessary parts (like HTML tags), and then inspected for
the input terms. A user can set one or more starting search paths, exclude
file or directories from scanning, set its own output templates, and more. 

Changes: The ID Input parameter is now optional. If omitted, it defaults
to the first <root> element of the configuration. Handling of eventual
error explanation string was added in displaying error templates, through
the new token "%det". It's now possible to search for strings enclosed
with quotation marks ("). The source code has been totally reorganized.
The <replace> element was added in the configuration file. This element
contains a list of strings to replace or cut from documents to inspect.

Software Development :: Libraries
System :: Diagnostics
System :: Logging

About: Libsmbios is a cross-platform library intended to be used to obtain
common information available in a BIOS. Major features include the ability
to update the BIOS on Dell systems (in conjunction with the Dell RBU Linux
kernel driver), programmatic access to information in SMBIOS tables, and
the ability to obtain Dell system-specific information such as the Dell
System ID number, service tag, and asset tag. Future plans include APIs
for $PIR and mptable mapping. There is a C API for some of the more
commonly used functions, and example binaries to show off most of the
facilities. 

Changes: A fix for the dell_rbu Linux kernel module API change in 2.6.16
that has been backported to several vendor kernels, such as the FC4 2.6.15
kernel. The dellBiosUpdate executable fails on these kernels because it
cannot find the dell_rbu driver. A new binary dellLcdBrightness has been
added that can be used to set the brightness on most recent Dell Laptops.

  by Kate Ward (http://freshmeat.net/users/sfsetse/)
  Fri, Feb 24th 2006 00:18

System :: Logging

About: log4sh is a logging framework for shell scripts that works similar
to the other wonderful logging products available from the Apache Software
Foundataion (eg. log4j, log4perl). Although not as powerful as the others,
it can make the task of adding advanced logging to shell scripts easier,
and has much more power than just using simple "echo" commands throughout.
In addition, it can be configured from a properties file so that scripts in
a production environment do not need to be altered to change the amount of
logging they produce.

Changes: An extraneous call to logger_getLevel from logger_addAppender was
removed. A serious bugfix from 1.3.3pre was backported: when log4sh is
configured from a properties file, there are problems when declaring more
than one appender when there are no spaces after the commas in the
rootLogger declaration.

About: MACTS is a traffic shaper which uses MAC addresses which are
associated with users to classify traffic. This allows fair usage of
bandwidth among many machines. Additionally, there is a statistics monitor
which displays current statistics on the terminal or stores them in round
robin databases. The stored data may then be used to generate graphs with
the included Perl/CGI scripts. The configuration file is straight-forward
and requires little knowledge of networking or the underlying traffic
control mechanism. Setup should be easy. 

Changes: Installation instructions have been fixed.

as is real-time game rewinding. Screen snapshots may be taken at the press
of a button, and are saved in the popular PNG file format.

Changes: FDS sound output was fixed. The movie format was simplified to
support all virtual input devices and systems. The OSD's resolution was
decoupled from the game's resolution. Support for horizontal resolution
switching midframe in PC Engine games was added. A math-related
compilation error on Alpha architectures was fixed. Settings were added to
control where auxillary data are saved. Several save-state bugs on
big-endian and non-x86 platforms were fixed. A frame-by-frame advance

[053] - Online Grades 3.2.0 
  by Beau Huber (http://freshmeat.net/users/bhuber/)
  Fri, Feb 24th 2006 16:01

Education
Internet

About: Online Grades is a program that allows K-12+ student grades to be
posted onto a dynamic Web site. Online Grades is not a Web-based
gradebook. Instead, it accepts grade export information from several
popular gradebook software programs (such as Easy Grade Pro, Gradekeeper,
Misty City's Grade Machine, and PGGP) and places the grade information
online securely. Online Grades was originally based on the SourceForge
project Basmati, and backward compatibility has been maintained. 

Changes: Administrators can change all the common configurations options
via the administrative interface. There are semi-admin logins that give
restricted access to the administrative interface. Parents are now able to
have their own login. If they have more than one student, they only need
their single login to access all their students' grades.

[060] - Postfix 2.2.9 (2.2.x (Stable))
  by Patrick Lenz (http://freshmeat.net/users/scoop/)
  Fri, Feb 24th 2006 11:24

Communications :: Email :: Mail Transport Agents

About: Postfix is an attempt to provide an alternative to the widely-used
Sendmail program. Postfix attempts to be fast, easy to administer, and
hopefully secure, while at the same time being sendmail compatible enough
to not upset your users.

Changes: This release consists mostly of a collection of back-ported fixes
from the Postfix 2.3 development branch. Most of this patch hardens the TLS
implementation against DNS-based attacks, and eliminates some anomalies
from the TLS per-site policy engine. It also adds a workaround that
prevents Postfix from repeatedly trying to deliver mail to domains with a
malformed MX record (for example, with a null MX hostname). It bounces
such mail immediately.

  Fri, Feb 24th 2006 03:13

Software Development :: Compilers
Software Development :: Interpreters

About: Seed7 is a general purpose programming language. It is a higher
level language compared to Ada, C++, and Java. In Seed7, new statements
and operators can be declared easily. Functions with type results and type
parameters are more elegant than a template or generics concept. Object
orientation is used when it brings advantages and not in places when other
solutions are more obvious. Although Seed7 contains several concepts of
other programming languages, it is generally not considered as a direct
descendant of any other programming language. 

Changes: Some compiler improvements were done for sets and structs. A new
graphic function, copyArea, was added. Hashes were implemented for sets
and types. New time functions were added: dayOfYear, toGMT, and -:=. UTF-8
characters may be used in string and char literals. New standard files were
added: STD_UTF8_IN, STD_UTF8_OUT, STD_UTF8_ERR. The file_type function was
added to get the type of a file.

the Samba software suite to access the SMB and CIFS shares of the local
network neighborhood. Its purpose is to provide a program that's easy to
use and has as many features as possible. 

Changes: Another bug in the bookmark menu widget was fixed. Enabling of
the "Authentication" action in the browser widget was fixed. A crash (NULL
pointer access) in Smb4KShareWidget::slotMountedShares() was fixed. Support
for mount.cifs and umount.cifs was added. This should enable users to mount
CIFS shares as a normal user, depending on the configuration of the system
and on the presence of these two utilities (which should have the setuid
root bit set). Start-up was revised.

[069] - splittar 0.2 
  by Chris AtLee (http://freshmeat.net/users/catlee/)
  Fri, Feb 24th 2006 01:18

System :: Archiving
Utilities

About: splittar allows you to create one or more tar files from a set of
data where each of the generated tar files is less than a specified
maximum size. Each tar file is a proper, self-contained tar file. Other
methods of backing up data to removable media requires a tar file to be
split, making one of the tar file useless without the others. splittar was
written to back up large amounts of data that span multiple DVDs while
allowing for each DVD to be useful on its own. 

Changes: A few minor bugs related to permissions and parsing of
commandline options were fixed. Several new command line options were
added (--version, logging options, ratio weight options). The manpage
documentation was greatly improved. The algorithm that determines which
source file should go in which archive was also improved and optimized.
The archive files should have more consistent sizes now.

About: The Interreality project is a collection of Open Source, Free
Software projects based on the Virtual Object System (VOS) platform. The
goal is to develop a free and open platform for multi-user 3D virtual
reality games, applications, and interactive, collaborative 3D virtual
spaces. VOS is a powerful and generic network object framework designed to
support a variety of high-performance applications. It is the basis for
Ter'Angreal, a general-purpose browser application for entering and
participating in 3D worlds.

3D loader was improved to correctly skip over unrecognized sections. The
VOS-Browser is more stable now. The dependency on flex and bison to
compile was eliminated. Several libraries were merged in to reduce outside
dependencies. A compiling problem on OS X was fixed. VOS now uses gcc 4.x
symbol visibility if available. Support for MSVC 8 was added. The
documentation was reorganized and the build instructions were updated.
This is a prerelease for testing but should much easier to build than
previous versions.
