  by JKB (http://freshmeat.net/users/jkb/)
  Thu, Jun 15th 2006 10:40

System :: Operating System Kernels

About: FreeVMS is an OpenVMS-like operating system which can run on
several architectures like i386, PPC, Alpha, and many others. It consists
of a POSIX kernel and a DCL command line interpreter. The only
architectures currently supported are i386 and x86-64. 

Changes: Kernel threads are now used with private memory space. SMP
support has been added. The CLI checks mode before running routines.
Sys_read now sets the read size to an eventual max record size. A critical
IDE driver is fixed; some race problems broke it. This was noticeable on
real i386/x86_64, but not on emulated ones. With SMP, there are some
problems with boot console I/O, and you may have to write commands to get
it going. It also has problems with IPACP.

Scientific/Engineering :: Mathematics
Software Development :: Libraries

About: gjrand is a programmer's library for pseudo-random numbers. It
includes random number generator testing code and is intended for
simulation, games, and "Monte-Carlo" algorithms. It produces pseudo-random
numbers of the types: uniform integers, uniform reals, normally distributed
reals, binomial, Poisson, integer permutation, chi-squared distribution,
and spherical distribution. 

Changes: The internals of the library have been rewritten in the hope of
achieving even better random number quality. It's mostly backwards
compatible, but the documentation should be consulted for issues. There
are also minor API enhancements and some minor updates to the test
software.

in nearly the same way as it is used interactively. It can thus act as a
mailbox filter, can fetch mail from remote accounts, and can send files as
attachments. 

Changes: This release fixes bugs in the base64 encoder, in generated
S/MIME headers, regarding messages in character sets with state-dependent
encodings, and in the handling of the "prompt" variable.

page in case the appropriate JRE cannot be found. The increase in size of
the application is small. 

Changes: A bug where only the first wrapper instance had a custom process
name was fixed.

services from domain name registries, registrars, and resellers. It is an
object-oriented framework that can be easily extended. It includes various
protocols (such as RRP, EPP, or custom protocols) and various transport
methods (such as TCP, TLS, SOAP, or SMTP). It currently handles .EU, .SE,
PL, .WS, .MOBI, .AERO, .CAT, .US, .COM/.NET, and .FR, with each TLD's own
extensions, as well as all generic RRP and EPP based registries (hence all
gTLDs registries). It can also be used for ENUM registrations.

Changes: This release adds full support for .FR by email, as well as many
EPP extensions providing full support for .US, .MOBI, .AERO, .CAT, and
COM/.NET with 4 VeriSign extensions. Infrastructure ENUM for Austria is
also included as a new feature. Some simplifications in the API are
provided, as well as better compatibility with all registries based on
EPP.

Software Development :: Compilers

About: Shed Skin is an experimental Python-to-C++ compiler. It accepts
pure but implicitly statically typed Python programs and generates
optimized C++ code. This means that in combination with a C++ compiler, it
allows for translation of pure Python programs into highly efficient
machine language. For a set of 16 non-trivial test programs, measurements
show a typical speedup of 2-40 over Psyco, about 12 on average, and 2-220
over CPython, about 45 on average. Shed Skin also outputs annotated source
code.

[039] - struts timeEntry 0.2b

Office/Business :: Financial

About: struts timeEntry is a self training application that developers can
use while learning Apache's Struts framework. Often when learning a new
language, library, or framework, developers find that the example code
they are presented with is academic and "best case". They find it
difficult to locate real-world case studies in which the language,
library, or framework have been put into practice. struts timeEntry
strives to be a real-world application that utilizes the struts framework
fully. 

Changes: The timeEntryAdmin administration module was added. Numerous bugs
in the timeEntry client module were revolved. Data integrity indexes were
added to the database. The graphics were updated.

[041] - Tag Soup 1.0 
  by John Cowan (http://freshmeat.net/users/johnwcowan/)
  Thu, Jun 15th 2006 14:38

Text Processing :: Markup :: HTML/XHTML

About: TagSoup is a SAX2 parser written in Java that, instead of parsing
well-formed or valid XML, parses HTML as it is found in the wild: nasty
and brutish, though quite often far from short. By providing a SAX
interface, it allows standard XML tools to be applied to even the worst
HTML. It is a parser, not a whole application; it isn't intended to
permanently clean up bad HTML, as HTML Tidy does, only to parse it on the
fly. 

Changes: All known bugs are fixed and all features considered appropriate
have been added. This release is ready for full production use.

[042] - TRIPP alpha 0.2 
  by poplix (http://freshmeat.net/users/poplix/)
  Thu, Jun 15th 2006 04:08

Communications
Security
Software Development :: Testing

About: TRIPP is a utility to rewrite incoming and outgoing IP packets.
Since it can rewrite both headers and payload, it can be used to configure
the TCP/IP stack behavior in order to perform various tasks mainly intended
for network tests, simulations, and development. It is configured via a
small rule-based language, which allows the user to intercept packets, set
arbitrary header values, increment or decrement numeric header fields, set
an arbitrary payload, rewrite parts of the payload, or fragment, delay,
multiply, or drop packets. It is totally user-level and doesn't require a
kernel module.

Changes: An IP options handler, a virtual clock for TCP timestamps, a
packet delayer, a packet marker, the ability to match packets randomly,
the ability to limit rewriting to a specific host only, the ability to
pass rules directly via the command line, and the ability to set a payload
for empty packets were added. A bug that prevented payload rewriting on
little endian systems from working correctly, a routing problem on BSD
systems, an endianess bug with payload rewriting, some parser bugs, an IP
broadcast bug, and many OpenBSD problems were fixed.

such as better graphics, an online help system to describe the key
mapping, new halls (levels), halls connected to a complex world, an
easy-to-launch single player mode, and a faster and more stable

About: Units-filter is a basic standalone filter written in C, flex, and
bison. It inputs strings like "1.5e3 nN.m.s^-1" (which could be the time
growth ratio of a torque) and outputs the value in standard SI units,
followed by the physical dimension of this value. This parser can be
embedded in educational test systems, in order to analyze a student's
answer to a problem of physics or chemistry.
