About: Alvicom LoadManager is a test tool that focuses on load, stress,
stability, and performance criteria. The tool runs on all platforms
supported by Eclipse and Java. Supported protocols are HTTP, HTTPS, socket
(TCP/IP), JMS, and RMI. Result data is collected in a central repository.

[002] - anyfs-tools 0.84.2
by unDEFER (http://freshmeat.net/users/undefer/)
Tue, Jun 20th 2006 23:20
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: Bugs in the Bzip2 and Zip rescuers were fixed. In build_it,
realloc is now used for gradually allocating memory for inode_table. A bug
in write_it() which caused it to always return 0 was fixed.

[005] - BFilter 1.0.3
by jart (http://freshmeat.net/users/jart/)
Tue, Jun 20th 2006 07:48
Internet :: Proxy Servers
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
About: BFilter is a smart filtering HTTP proxy. Its primary purpose is
removing banner ads. Unlike the majority of similar tools, it doesn't rely
on a list of blocked URLs, but instead parses HTML on the fly, and detects
ads using a set of heuristic rules. BFilter has a built-in Javascript
engine that detects js-generated ads.
Changes: Two crash bugs were fixed. <img onclick=...> ads are now handled.
Ad-detection heuristics were improved. It's now possible to build BFilter
with external boost and SpiderMonkey libraries.

servers, a full mesh of connections is automatically set up between the
probes, between which UDP packets are transmitted. Statistics are
collected and stored within a MySQL database.
Changes: Graphing support was added to the PHP frontend. This requires GD
compiled into PHP. Database locking for data roll up was enabled. The
menu.php file was added, which was missing from version 2.9.2.

[010] - Distributed Checksum Clearinghouse 1.3.37
by Vernon Schryver (http://freshmeat.net/users/vjs/)
Tue, Jun 20th 2006 11:18
Communications :: Email :: Filters
About: Distributed Checksum Clearinghouse (DCC) is a system of clients and
servers that collect and count checksums related to mail messages. The
counts can be used by SMTP servers and mail user agents to detect and
reject bulk mail. DCC servers can exchange common checksums. The checksums
include values that are "fuzzy", or constant across common variations in
bulk messages.
Changes: Optionally in dccm, and by default in dccifd in proxy mode, this
release will temporarily reject SMTP recipients that might be forced to
have spam discarded instead of rejected because it must be delivered to
other recipients. /var/dcc/libexec/updatedcc should automagically fetch,
build, and install this version, unless you have installed a version of
Linux with the broken default `sort` collating sequence since last
upgrading. If so, an easy way to get the old updatedcc script working is
to delete the entire /var/dcc/build/dcc directory before running
updatedcc.

System :: Archiving :: Backup
System :: Recovery Tools
System :: Software Distribution
About: FSVS stands for "Fast System VerSioning", "File System VerSioning",
or "Full System VerSioning". It aims to become a complete backup/restore
tool for Linux machines, using a Subversion repository as the backend.
Changes: The md5_is member was removed in the per-entry structure (16
bytes less space used, about 13%). The tests can now be run over protocols
other than file:// - this finds some edge cases for "real" use. A new
"count" warning action is available; before stopping, a warning summary is
printed.

[014] - Gecode 1.2.0
by Guido Tack (http://freshmeat.net/users/odiug/)
Tue, Jun 20th 2006 00:05
Software Development :: Libraries
About: Gecode is a portable, accessible, and efficient environment for
developing constraint-based systems and applications. Gecode is radically
open for programming, meaning that it can be easily interfaced to other
systems. It supports the programming of new propagators (as implementation
of constraints), branching strategies, and search engines. New variable
domains can be programmed at the same level of efficiency as finite domain
and integer set variables that come predefined with Gecode.
Changes: This release makes quite some drastic changes to how propagators
and branchings are deleted: instead of using destructors they use a
dispose that allows a home space to be passed during deletion. This
infrastructure measure will eventually be used to speed up cloning
considerably. The directory structure was changed so that all include
files are to be found in a gecode subdirectory. There were also some small
fixes and extensions.

About: GPixPod is an application for uploading and organizing photos and
photo albums on recent Apple iPod models.
Changes: iPod Nano/Video users who experienced crashes or failure when

About: maildirproc is a program that processes one or several existing
mail boxes in the maildir format. It is primarily focused on mail sorting,
which means moving, copying, forwarding, and deleting mail according to a

Communications :: Email :: Filters
Security
About: MIMEDefang is a flexible MIME email scanner designed to do all
kinds of email processing, including anti-virus scanning, anti-spam
scanning, replacing parts of messages with URLs, adding boilerplate
disclaimers, and so on. It can alter or delete various parts of a MIME
message according to a Perl-based policy filter. It can also bounce
messages with unacceptable attachments and modify SMTP response codes on
the fly. It works with the Sendmail 8.11 and newer "Milter" API, which
makes it more flexible and efficient than procmail-based approaches.
Changes: The multiplexor has a new scheduling algorithm that tries to
reuse the same set of slaves for a given command. A new "md-mx-ctrl hload"
command shows the load over the last 1, 4, 12, and 24 hours, providing a
complement to the shorter-timeframe "md-mx-ctrl load" command. Several
minor bugs were fixed.

[041] - Sendmail filter for SpamAssassin 1.2.1
by Eugene Kurmanin (http://freshmeat.net/users/smfs/)
Tue, Jun 20th 2006 11:22
Communications :: Email :: Filters
About: smf-spamd is a Sendmail filter for SpamAssassin. It aims to be
lightweight, reliable, and simple rather than have a myriad of options. It

whitelist, performs subject tagging if SPAM is detected, adds an
information header, copies SPAM messages to the defined "garbage" mailbox,
rejects SPAM messages at the SMTP DATA stage, and logs all filter
activities to syslog. The code is small (does not exceed 580 lines), fast,
stable, and few resources are required. No temporary files are created.
Changes: A workaround for the Sendmail socket unsafe error on some
platforms was implemented. Configuration file, default user, and working
directory were changed. The format of log records was changed. Some
samples of start-up scripts were added. The new TODO tasks were added.
Cosmetic enhancements were made.
