[001] - adevs 2.0.1
by Ack (http://freshmeat.net/users/ack/)
Fri, Jun 23rd 2006 05:37
Scientific/Engineering
Software Development :: Libraries
About: adevs is a C++ library for developing discrete event simulations
based on the Parallel DEVS and Dynamic DEVS formalisms.
Changes: The simulation library API has changed significantly. The new API
is smaller and simpler. The basic type of data exchanged by models can be
specialized using templates, the STL interface specification (and, in some
cases, the STL itself) is used for containers, the atomic model API has
been cut back to its bare essentials, and the simulation engine API has
been simplified.

[002] - anyfs-tools 0.84.3
by unDEFER (http://freshmeat.net/users/undefer/)
Fri, Jun 23rd 2006 16:02
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: GZIP archive recovery support was added. Strays in reblock.c (the
bug in the 0.84.2 version) were removed.

Communications :: Chat
Games/Entertainment
Games/Entertainment :: Multi-User Dungeons (MUD)
About: DutchPIPE allows Web developers to make virtual multi-user "avatar"

uses AJAX and the DOM for the browser, and it works without Java, Flash,
plugins, or firewall adjustments.
Changes: This release fixes several bugs and offers some more options in
case of installation problems. All source code has been documented using
phpdoc. With this, among others, there is now a DutchPIPE Manual. It will

Software Development
About: NoMachine NX is a fast terminal server system based on the X11
protocol. In addition, NX also translates and embeds the MS Windows
Terminal Server and VNC protocols into X/NX. NX is an order of magnitude
faster than VNC or X11 and can run on bandwidth as narrow as 10 kBit/sec.
By embedding RDP and RFB, it enables users to compress and accelerate
remote Windows and VNC sessions. NX lets you work fluently even across
slow links like modems. The NX project provides a suite of libraries and
X11 proxying agents implementing efficient compression and optimized
transport of X11, SMB, IPP, HTTP, and arbitrary protocols like audio over
the Internet.
Changes: This release offers better integration on different platforms and
support for Guest Users and multi-node capabilities in server. Usability
and performance were improved by optimizations of the NX protocol, the
lazy encoding policy, and the enhancement of the backing-store. Copy and
paste with Ctrl+V was added. The CIFS protocol is supported. The
reconnection procedure was improved.
