Printing
Software Development :: Libraries
About: CUPS provides a portable printing layer for Unix(r)-based operating
systems. It has been developed to promote a standard printing solution for
all Unix vendors and users. CUPS provides the System V and Berkeley
command line interfaces, and uses the Internet Printing Protocol ("IPP")
as the basis for managing print jobs and queues. The Line Printer Daemon
(LPD) Server Message Block (SMB), and AppSocket (a.k.a. JetDirect)
protocols are also supported with reduced functionality. CUPS adds network
printer browsing and PostScript Printer Description ("PPD") based printing
options to support real world printing under UNIX. It includes an image
file RIP that supports printing of image files to non-PostScript printers.
A customized version of GNU Ghostscript 7.05 for CUPS called ESP
Ghostscript is available separately to support printing of PostScript
files within the CUPS driver framework. Sample drivers for Dymo, EPSON,
HP, and OKIDATA printers are included that use these filters.
Changes: This release candidate adds network printer discovery support via
SNMP and fixes several bugs.

server supports it). The drivers PARADOX,SQLITE3, SQLITE2, and MDB (MS
Access) can compile without the need to install extra packages, so they
are generally available. The FIREBIRD driver supports the upcoming
Firebird version 2. 64-bit machines are supported. Many bugs were fixed.

[028] - HTTP Time Protocol 0.9.2 (KIS)
by evervest (http://freshmeat.net/users/evervest/)
Tue, Apr 25th 2006 13:51
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
System :: Networking :: Time Synchronization
About: HTTP Time Protocol is a time synchronization tool that uses Web
server responses (HTTP headers) instead of the NTP protocol. If you are
behind a corporate firewall, NAT device, or proxy server, HTP will still
be able to synchronize the time. For high precision time synchronization,
use ntpd.
Changes: The use of the ntp_adjtime system call is now optional. The clock
frequency will be adjusted when using the "-x" switch, and the systematic
drift will be compensated. This works only in daemon mode.

Scientific/Engineering
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
System :: Clustering/Distributed Networks
About: Java Parallel Processing Framework is a set of tools and APIs to
facilitate the parallelization of CPU intensive applications, and
distribute their execution over a network of heterogenous nodes. It is
intended to run in clusters and grids. It features platform independence
thanks to Java 1.5, does not require you to deploy your application
classes to a server, scales up to thousands of nodes, has a built-in
fail-over mechanism on all the framework's components, and has a
monitoring and administration GUI tool to enable remote monitoring of the
server health and server shutdown/restart operations.
Changes: A new "hot update" feature was added to the nodes, so they are
automatically updated when a newer version of JPPF is installed. A bug was
fixed where the server would not detect immediately when a node was
disconnected.

by david (http://freshmeat.net/users/davidel/)
Tue, Apr 25th 2006 10:46
Software Development :: Libraries
Software Development :: Version Control
About: The LibXDiff library implements basic and yet complete
functionalities to create file differences/patches to both binary and text
files. It uses memory files as file abstraction to achieve both performance
and portability. For binary files, it implements both (with some
modification) the algorithm described in "File System Support for Delta
Compression" by Joshua P. MacDonald and the algorithm described in
"Fingerprinting By Random Polynomials" by Michael O. Rabin. For text
files, it follows directives described in "An O(ND) Difference Algorithm
and Its Variations" by Eugene W. Myers. Memory files used by the library
are basically a collection of buffers that store the file content.
Changes: This release implements Rabin's polynomial binary diffs, and
improves text diff generation by performing hunk merging and
consolidation.

[039] - LLVM 1.7
by Misha Brukman (http://freshmeat.net/users/brukman/)
Tue, Apr 25th 2006 09:20
Software Development :: Code Generators
Software Development :: Compilers
About: LLVM is a compiler infrastructure designed for compile-time,
link-time, run-time, and "idle-time" optimization of programs from
arbitrary programming languages. It currently supports compilation of C
and C++ programs, using front-ends derived from gcc 3.4 and 4.0.1. There
is a demonstration front end, Stacker, which provides a simple forth-like
language. Work is currently under way to provide a Java class file
front-end, as well as other significant improvements.
Changes: This release contains a completely rewritten C/C++ frontend
(based on GCC-4.01), a brand new SPARC backend that supports GCC-style
generic vectors, support for SSE and Altivec intrinsics, and support for
Objective C/C++. The X86 backend generates much better code and can
produce scalar SSE code. This release has initial DWARF debugging support,
includes a new llvm-config utility, has initial support for GCC-style
inline assembly, and includes many target-independent code generator and
optimizer improvements.

[041] - Memorize Words Flashcard System 2.0.1.0
by Mohammad Reza Alavi (http://freshmeat.net/users/shazdereza/)
Tue, Apr 25th 2006 13:50
About: Memorize Words Flashcard System is a fully automated multimedia
Leitner flashcard program for learning a foreign language. It
automatically retrieves meanings, word usages, and the pronunciation of a
flashcard word in audio from the Internet. It also puts related Google
pictures into flashcards.
Changes: The main panel is plug-in enabled. Software has been rewritten
and the total size of software is now around 1MB less. Now you can test
your words' dictation capabilities. A reverse test method has been
implemented (2.0.0.0). Standard, Reverse, and Dictation learning methods
do not share decks; instead, they have their own decks and histories. The
cards' properties panel has been redesigned to show the new properties.
The splitter position is now saved on the user's computer and restored
every time the user starts the program. There are minor bugfixes.

[042] - MoSSHe 1.3.11
by Volker Tanger (http://freshmeat.net/users/vtanger/)
Tue, Apr 25th 2006 09:05
System :: Networking :: Monitoring
About: MoSSHe (MOnitoring with SSH Environment) is a simple, lightweight
(both in size and system requirements) server monitoring package designed
for secure and in-depth monitoring of a number of typical Internet
systems. It was developed to keep the impact on network and performance
low, and to use a safe, encrypted connection for in-depth inspection of
the system checked. It is not possible to remotely run (more or less
arbitrary) commands via the monitoring system, nor is unsafe cleartext
SNMP messaging necessary (yet possible). A read-only Web interface makes
monitoring and status checks simple (and safe) for admins and helpdesk.
Checking scripts are included for remote services (DNS, HTTP, IMAP2,
IMAP3, POP3, samba, SMTP, and SNMP) and local systems (disk space, load,
CPU temperature, fan speed, free memory, print queue size and activity,
processes, RAID status, shells, log file events (logins, restarts, and
brute force attacks), and mail queue).
Changes: To enable server checking beyond firewalls that block ICMP
echo-requests, a feature was added to allow checks on unpingable servers.
Now MoSSHe can (and will) re-schedule a check faster, directly after each
status change. A "noping_" feature was added. The RETRYSLEEP variable was
added. A bug which left stale status information in the server stat file
was removed.

ID tracking, and a continuous testing option for further analysis.
Changes: The NOC Edition enables automated remote synthetic testing of
corporate and global networks from multiple network locations anywhere in
the world. The NOC Edition adds Remote Test Agents (RTAs), a batch process
designed to measure bandwidth, and quality of service of specific network
segments as part of an automated script process. Results are logged to a
central database on the Web server for review and analysis.

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Players :: MP3
About: Plait (pronounced "play") is a command-line jukebox and music
player front end. It understands brief, easy to type queries that pick a
single song, mix queries that combine works from multiple artists, and
stream queries that find Shoutcast radio streams. A variety of filters are
available to pick just the music you want to hear. In order to actually
play the music it finds, Plait automatically hands off a playlist to one
of the supported music players, or creates a playlist that you can
manually load.
Changes: This release adds interactive mode, which allows you to vote yes
or no on each track or stream in the playlist. By moving up one or two
levels in the file hierarchy, you can also vote on albums or artists all
at once. Some files have been relocated for better FHS compliance. A new
sorting pattern was added, --group. The incremental directory caching code
was modified to support renames and deletes. In plaiter, support was added
for naming HTTP streams on the command line.

Multimedia :: Graphics :: Editors
About: SDE for Eclipse is a UML modeling environment tightly integrated
with Eclipse IDE. It lets you draw all types of UML diagrams (use case
diagrams, class diagrams, component diagrams, etc.) in Eclipse, reverse
source code (Java, C++, XML, XML Schema, CORBA IDL, etc.) to UML models,
and generate Java source from UML diagrams. It features the latest UML
notation support, a Rational Rose importer, an XMI importer, Microsoft
Visio integration, HTML/PDF documentation generators, and plug-in and
template support.
Changes: Instant Reverse was enhanced to support Java 1.5 syntax. In order
to let you reverse engineer on specific sources, you can select them for
Reverse source on demand. A grouping feature allows you to organize shapes
in groups, group selection resources help you align or distribute selected
shapes more efficiently, and a model comment utility was included for
attaching comments to interested elements for review or discussion
purposes. The selectable option can make certain diagram elements
read-only and focus on only the interested ones. A Jump To Feature was
added to Published Project.

graph from the beans of a single config file or a set of config files.
Changes: The ability to search the beans model, an "Open Bean" dialog
(similar to JDT's "Open Type" dialog), and a wizard to create a
Spring-aware project was added. A whole bunch of bugfixes and some
usability enhancements are provided.

Tue, Apr 25th 2006 10:45
Information Management :: Workflow Frameworks
About: SWAMP is a workflow processing platform in which the workflow is
designed in an XML based language in one file which is read by the SWAMP
server. It avoids hardcoding business logic, and workflows can be built
from different workflow "patterns" like simple actions, decisions,
selections, loops, and custom code. The SWAMP server automatically creates
a Web GUI from the workflow definition file that guides users through the
business logic process based on their roles. Notification is sent if
required. Overview pages over all running workflows and much more are
available.
Changes: Workflows can include documentation files and customized
navigation. Users can upload workflow definitions. Discussion threads
inside a workflow have been added. Scripts and documentation for building
and running on Windows have beena dded. The public subversion repository
and Bugzilla have been enabled. Bugs in data cache and sendevent actions
have been added. A calendar popup has been added for the date type input
in webSWAMP. Statistic graph generation for the amount of running
workflows / time has been added.

About: Tabble is a small alternative X shell that presents your programs
in tabs for easy launching. It is not meant to replace a window manager,
just complement it. The idea is that it is 'always on top' so multiple
launches can be made without re-navigating a menu hierarchy or clearing
the desktop. It is useful for launching X programs inside a chroot.

[080] - WMRack 1.3
by Chris Waters (http://freshmeat.net/users/xtifr/)
Tue, Apr 25th 2006 13:54
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: CD Audio :: CD Playing
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Mixers
About: WMRack is a combined CD-Player and Mixer Applet which fits in 48x48
pixels. It is designed for the WindowMaker dock, but works fine with other
window managers, and can be swallowed by most wharfs/buttonbars/panels.
Changes: The mixer settings file parsing logic has been almost completely
rewritten to be more robust, and to fix the bug where WMRack would get
confused about which mixer device to use when two such devices had similar
names (e.g. "pcm" and "pcm2"). "<linux/soundcard.h>" has been changed to
"<sys/soundcard.h>", which should be more portable. Some minor updates
have been made to the man page.
