[002] - Axiomatic Multi-Platform C 1.4.1
by napi (http://freshmeat.net/users/napi/)
Wed, Apr 12th 2006 09:50
Software Development :: Compilers
About: Axiomatic Multi-Platform C (AMPC) is a C compiler suite with an IDE
that generates Java bytecode (Java class files) to produce platform
independent applications. This is for Write Once Run Anywhere (WORA) with
C. AMPC supports a very large subset of ANSI C (1989). It can be used to
develop new applications using C as well as port existing applications
written in C to run on JVM enabled devices. A JNI (JVM Native Interface)
feature is available for calling native C or C++ functions. Also, numerous
Java methods can be called from AMPC. The asm() directive can be used to
embed Jasmin assembly code within C source code.
Changes: The performance of the linker (COMPILE) has been improved, and
temporary files generated during compilation are deleted.

Office/Business :: Scheduling
About: Brim is a Web based information manager which manages bookmarks,
agenda/calendar, contacts, tasks, notes, passwords, collections, and more.
Brim is based on an MVC framework that uses items with a potential
hierarchical relation as its base. It supports multiple themes, an
unlimited number of items/folders, and has over 15 translations. Brim was
formerly known as Booby, but has been totally reworked.
Changes: This release adds email notifications for calendar events,
improved favicon support for the bookmarks plugin, and improved vCard
import and export for the contact plugin. The database layer has been
completely rewritten, so PostgreSQL is supported again.

Internet
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries
About: Connect Daily, a Web-based calendaring system, allows multiple
users to add and edit calendar events using a Web browser. The calendar
display can be directly integrated into your Web site. It provides
advanced capabilities for managing resources and facilities. The approval
processes allow many users to edit calendars, with the assurance that all
items added are approved. It supports event download to MS Outlook and
Palm OS PDAs. Export to iCal clients like KOrganizer, Evolution, and Apple
iCal is supported. Authentication to LDAP directories is also supported.
Changes: When adding items, the calendar return button takes you to a
calendar for the month of the new item, not the month you were previously
viewing. There is a system-wide configuration option to set the default
max items or number of days returned for RSS feeds. Invalid dates now
generate an error message. Several small bugs have been fixed. RSS feeds
no longer ignore the event privacy flag. iCal events with no end time
write the event with an end time of midnight. The date picker window uses
a unique name so that it will always pop up.

by Tommi Mäkitalo (http://freshmeat.net/users/tmaek/)
Wed, Apr 12th 2006 16:33
Software Development :: Libraries
About: cxxtools is a library of unrelated, but useful C++ classes. It
contains an argument-parser, a base-64 encoder/decoder, a C++ interface to
iconv, md5-stream for easy MD5 calculation, threading classes, socket
classes, a dynamic exception-safe buffer, a wrapper for dlopen/dlsym, a
pool template (e.g., for a connection pool in a multi-threaded
application), query_params, and a class for easy parsing of CGI parameters
(GET and POST) in a CGI program.
Changes: Logging is about 30% faster now. Logging to rolling files uses
flushdelay, which improved already normal file logging. It uses a new
output stream, cxxtools::Streamcounter, which just counts the characters
that are written to it. Some ANSI-C++-violations that were not detected by
gcc were fixed. It compiles on the native AIX compiler.

Text Processing :: Indexing
Utilities
About: Docco is a personal document retrieval tool based on Apache's
Lucene indexing engine. It allows you to create an index for files on your
file system which you can then search for keywords. It is not only a lot
faster than searching by recursing through your file system every time, it
also offers you extended query options like wildcards and fuzzy search as
well as a visualization of result set intersections.
Changes: This release supports text analysis of a number of natural
languages and nested line diagrams. Basic support for RTF and MS
PowerPoint files has been added, as well as a number of minor updates.

[011] - Domain Technologie Control 0.20.0-R4

Wed, Apr 12th 2006 14:16
Communications :: Email :: Post-Office :: IMAP
Communications :: Email :: Post-Office :: POP3
Internet :: File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
About: Domain Technologie Control (DTC) is a Web-based control panel for
hosting that can delegate the task of creating subdomains, email, and FTP
accounts to users for the domain names they own. It has support for many
programs, including bind 8 and 9, MySQL, Apache, PHP 4, qmail, Postfix,
Courier, Dovecot, ProFTPD, Webalizer, and mod-log-sql. It can also
generate backup scripts, calculation scripts, and config files using a
single system UID/GID, and monitor all traffic accounting per user and per
service. It is fully skinnable and translated into several languages.
Changes: This version adds RRDTool graphing for CPU, memory, network
usage, and mail queue statistics, as well as many little improvements. It
has a very clean installer that works well if you use Debian (you just
need to add the gawk package that is missing from the dependencies, but
that doesn't bother the installer very much).

[012] - Dovecot 1.0beta6
by Axel Thimm (http://freshmeat.net/users/thimm/)
Wed, Apr 12th 2006 09:57
Communications :: Email :: Post-Office :: IMAP
Communications :: Email :: Post-Office :: POP3
About: Dovecot is an IMAP server whose major goals are security and
extreme reliability. It uses index files to optimally store the mailbox
state, which makes it very fast even with huge mailboxes. Indexes won't
prevent external mailbox updates, so Dovecot is still fully compatible
with standard Maildir and mbox formats. There's also a fully featured POP3
server included.
Changes: The login and master usernames were reversed when using
master_user_separator (now the order is UW-IMAP compatible). Killing the
dovecot master process now kills all IMAP and POP3 processes. A parameter
to dovecot prints all settings that Dovecot uses. A pop3_lock_session
setting has been added. The %M modifier returns a string's MD5 sum. There
are several more minor bugfixes.

Wed, Apr 12th 2006 14:13
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Capture :: Digital Camera
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Presentation
Multimedia :: Video
About: DVD-Baker generates a DVD consisting of menus and slideshows from a
picture collection stored in a Menalto Gallery G2 Web site or in a locally
stored directory tree. Each "leaf" album (an album that does not contain
sub-albums) is used to create a slideshow. The slideshows (and any
DVD-ready MPEG videos) are made accessible on the DVD with menus that
follow the structure of the Web site or directories. Extra features
include random or sequential autoplay, and audio support. Since
dvd-slideshow is used to produce each slideshow, it supports effects such
as crossfades, crops, and 'Ken Burns' effects.
Changes: A few important features have been added. The most requested may
be the ability to specify the gallery album to bake (rather than the
user's root album), and the ability to specify an album to use to create a
DVD leader (a title played before the root menu is shown). Also included is
an optional 'Options Menu System', which can be accessed by pressing the
'SUBTITLE' button (or F3 in gxine) to toggle options such as SUBTITLES,
AUTOPLAY, and REPEAT during playback. Minor cleanups and bugfixes are
included.

Software Development :: Libraries
About: Jaxen is a universal XPath evaluation engine. It is currently
capable of executing XPath expressions against W3C DOM, JDOM, dom4j, and
XOM document trees.
Changes: This release fixes an assortment of small issues. Most

and confused. (Not all files had the same license.) The entire package is
now released under the modified BSD license (no advertising clause).
Despite the "beta" designation, this release has far fewer bugs and is
much more compliant with the XPath specification than the official 1.0
release. If you're using 1.0, you should upgrade.

Wed, Apr 12th 2006 09:53
Desktop Environment :: K Desktop Environment (KDE)
Office/Business :: Office Suites
Text Editors :: Word Processors
About: KOffice is an integrated office suite based on the KDE libraries.
KOffice currently includes KWord, KSpread, KPresenter, KChart, Karbon14,
Krita, Kexi, KFormula, Kugar, and Kivio. There are no special mail and
news clients included in KOffice, because there are KMail and KNode
available for KDE anyway. All KOffice components work together, and you
can embed every KOffice component into any other KOffice component. This
is realized using the KParts object model.
Changes: This version sports OpenDocument as the default file format,
accessibility, a new project planning tool KPlato, professional color
support and adjustment layers in Krita, and the long awaited database
management application Kexi 1.0.

expressions) for faster recognition of what is important. It can also
filter lines (again with regular expressions). It has interactive menus
for editing given regular expressions and deleting and adding windows. One
can also have windows with the output of shell scripts and other software.
When viewing the output of external software, MultiTail can mimic the
functionality of tools like 'watch'.
Changes: This release adds color schemes for most server applications,
improves setting of colors (background and attributes can also be set),
improves the user interface, adds a key for hiding all windows but the one
selected, and has quite a few small bug fixes and numerous small additions
and improvements. 'tee' output can now be sent to other processes/files
before or after processing. IP addresses/hostnames/seconds since
epoch/errno values can be translated. This release can also read from
stdin. Lines ending with '\' can be merged into one line.

by Andreas Steffen (http://freshmeat.net/users/asteffen/)
Wed, Apr 12th 2006 09:55
Security
Security :: Cryptography
System :: Networking
About: strongSwan is a complete IPsec and IKEv1 implementation for Linux
2.4 and 2.6 kernels. It interoperates with most other IPsec-based VPN
products. It is a descendant of the discontinued FreeS/WAN project. The
focus of the strongSwan project is on strong authentication mechanisms
using X.509 public key certificates and optional secure storage of private
keys on smartcards through a standardized PKCS#11 interface. A unique
feature is the use of X.509 attribute certificates to implement advanced
access control schemes based on group memberships.
Changes: The new _updown_policy template supports the IPsec policy
matching rules of iptables-1.3.5. Making use of the PLUTO_REQID
environment variable set by the IKE daemon pluto upon the establishment of
an IPsec connection, the updown script inserts dynamic iptables firewall
rules that pass only packets coming out from or going into a VPN tunnel.

Wed, Apr 12th 2006 16:34
Database :: API
Software Development :: Libraries
About: Tntdb is a c++-class-library for database access. It implements a
database-independent layer, which loads the actual driver dynamically when
a connection is made. The classes use automatic resource management with
reference counts. Resources are freed when the classes go out of scope.
Error handling is done with exceptions (derived from std::exception).
There are STL-like iterators for result sets and rows, and also the cursor
is an STL-like iterator. It is written in standard C++ with Linux. Drivers
for PostgreSQL, sqlite3, and MySQL are available.
Changes: The MySQL driver crashed when fetching some data types (e.g.
timestamp), because the MySQL API returned length values that were too
small.

Wed, Apr 12th 2006 16:35
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries
About: Tntnet is a Web application server for generating Web applications
in C++. HTML pages with some additional tags for inclusion of C++ code are
compiled into shared libraries and served from tntnet. It resembles PHP,
JSP, or Mason, but the programming language used is C++, and the pages are
compiled into native code before serving. Tntnet is fully multithreaded and
supports http-keep-alive for best performance. Dynamic pages are served
about as fast as static pages in other Web servers, while creating Web
applications keeps simple.
Changes: This version fixes some ANSI C++ violations not detected with
gcc. Receiving SIGTERM now results in a graceful shutdown. A new demo
(newsdb) has been added that demonstrates how to access a database with
tntdb in Web applications. The license was extended to allow linking with
OpenSSL. Documentation was slightly updated and reformatted to use only
standard fonts, which reduces the size of the PDF docs significantly.
