[001] - And-httpd 0.99.9
by Nevyn (http://freshmeat.net/users/nevyn/)
Sat, Jun 24th 2006 23:18
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: HTTP Servers
About: And-httpd is an HTTP server that maps URLs to files. In other
words, in can take an incoming URL and map it to a file in a number of
ways (for example, according to content type or language). It can also do
authentication or IP based ACLs. It cannot do CGI or other kinds of code
execution. It cannot even dynamically create directory listings (although
it comes with external tools to do so automatically, and to create a
"status page"). It currently has a $2000 "security guarantee" against
remote attacks.
Changes: A bug which occurred when the server was configured not to
process HTTP/0.9 requests was fixed. conf.d sort order processing was
fixed. An exception was added for localhost in default IO limiting. Some
configuration options for syslog output were added.

[002] - aria2 0.5.2
by SlotGazer (http://freshmeat.net/users/slotgazer/)
Sat, Jun 24th 2006 15:49
Communications :: File Sharing
Internet :: File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
About: aria2 is a utility for downloading files. It has completely new
design concept from its predecessor, Aria, and is written from scratch.
aria2 has a segmented downloading engine in its core. It can download one
file from multiple URLs or multiple connections from one URL. This results
in very high speed downloading, much faster than ordinary browsers. This
engine in was implemented in a single-thread model. The architecture is
clean and easy to extend. aria2 currently supports HTTP, FTP, and
BitTorrent.
Changes: This release adds NAT checking support (handshake without peerid)
for the tracker and fixes a tracker request and have message problem.

Communications :: Chat
Communications :: Chat :: AOL Instant Messenger
Communications :: Chat :: ICQ
About: BitlBee allows users to talk to people on the MSN, ICQ, Jabber,
Yahoo!, and AIM networks with any IRC client by emulating an IRC server. A
virtual channel is created with all of the user's buddies in it, who can be
talked to in the channel or in a query.
Changes: This version should get rid of some ICQ spam, allows you to talk
to people who are not in your contact list, has a fixed ISON
implementation (which fixes /NOTIFY in most IRC clients), and fixes some
stability bugs.

[005] - Botan 1.5.8 (Development)
by Jack Lloyd (http://freshmeat.net/users/randombit/)
Sat, Jun 24th 2006 23:20
Security :: Cryptography
Software Development :: Libraries
About: Botan is a C++ library of cryptographic algorithms. It includes a
wide selection of cryptographic algorithms (including AES, DES, SHA-1,
RSA, and DSA, among many others). It also support X.509 certificates and
several common certificate-related formats and protocols. It has a high
level interface, is easily portable to most systems and compilers, and
includes a substantial tutorial and API reference.
Changes: Many internal cleanups were done, specifically in the X.509
certificate processing code. Users can now add support for additional
X.509 extensions (though this is not entirely seamless yet). Character set
handling has also been improved significantly, and should be much easier to
extend to unusual character sets such as EBCDIC. Support for GCC 2.95.x has
been dropped in this release; previously, bugs in that compiler made
certain cleanups impossible to implement.

Software Development :: Libraries :: Python Modules
System :: Archiving :: Backup
Utilities
About: Cedar Backup is a software package designed to manage system
backups for a pool of local and remote machines. Cedar Backup understands
how to back up filesystem data as well as MySQL and PostgreSQL databases
and Subversion repositories. It can also be easily extended to support
other kinds of data sources. Cedar Backup is focused around weekly backups
to a single CD-R or CD-RW disc. It supports multisession discs, allowing
you to add incremental data to a disc on a daily basis. Cedar Backup also
provides a Python library of backup-related functionality.
Changes: An mbox extension was added to incrementally back up mbox-style
email folders. A postgresql extension was added to back up PostgreSQL
databases. Support was added for backing up individual files, not just
directories. Minor cleanup was done, based on code reviews, documentation
reviews, and an effort to make regression tests pass on Windows.

pipes, etc. The scripts have been used with Oracle RDBMS 8i, 9i, and 10g.
There is no reason they shouldn't also work with Oracle RDBMS 7 and 8.0.

About: Decimail Server is a mail server supporting IMAP and SMTP that uses
a PostgreSQL database to store messages. Mailboxes are defined using SQL
queries, allowing complex client-independent automatic message filtering
and categorisation. For example you can partition your messages
chronologically, by correspondent and by mailing list at the same time
with each message appearing in several mailboxes. There is also the
potential for fast keyword searching and to link with address book
applications. Decimail also features anti-spam processing of outgoing
messages.
Changes: This is a bugfix release, correcting some syntax errors in IMAP
responses. It also improves the performance of by-domain mailbox queries.

Internet :: Log Analysis
Internet :: Name Service (DNS)
About: dnshistory provides a means for storing a history of DNS/name
changes over time from the IP Addresses gathered from within Web log
files. At its simplest, it will do massively parallel name lookups very
quickly. The lookups are not DNS only, and will use whatever naming
services your system is configured with. A second mode will take a Web log
file and replace the IP addresses with the previously stored names, sending
the resulting output to STDOUT.
Changes: The program can now process Squid, FTP XFERLOG, and iptables log
formats. The log format can be explicitly set or automatically detected.

Sat, Jun 24th 2006 15:49
Software Development :: Embedded Systems
Software Development :: Interpreters
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
About: The Hecl Programming Language is a high-level scripting language
implemented in Java. It is intended to be small, extensible, extremely
flexible, and easy to learn and use. It is intended as a complement to the
Java programming language, not a replacement. As such, it tries to do well
what Java doesn't, and leaves those tasks to Java for which it is best
suited. It is also easy to add Hecl to Java, or write new Hecl commands in
Java. It aims to be a very immediate language so that you can pick it up
and start doing useful things with it quickly. Of particular interest is
the fact that it's small enough to run on Java-enabled cell phones, so you
can quickly script applications for them!
Changes: The HeclBuilder jar is now included. A few regressions were
fixed. A throw command was added.

shortcuts, an innovative "node sculpting" capability in the Node tool, and
the Outline mode. Significant gains were achieved in performance,
especially in screen rendering and the Node tool. Noticeable user
interface changes include docked color swatches, an interactive style
indicator in the statusbar, a redesigned preferences dialog, a text
toolbar, and new icons.

About: Redet is a tool for developing and executing regular expressions
using any of more than 40 search programs, editors, and programming
languages, intended both for developing regular expressions for use
elsewhere and as a search tool in its own right. For each program in each
locale, a palette showing the available constructs is provided. The
properties of each program are determined by runtime tests, which
guarantees that they will be correct for the program version and locale.
Additional features include persistent history, extensive help, a variety
of character entry tools, and the ability to change locale while running.
Redet is highly configurable and fully supports Unicode.
Changes: A command has been added to the File menu that replaces the test
data with the contents of the result window. This is useful for repeatedly
narrowing down a set of data or for carrying out multiple substitutions on
the same data. A command for clearing the existing user-defined character
classes has been added to the character class menu.
