[001] - Aardvark Topsites PHP 5.1.2
by Jeremy Scheff (http://freshmeat.net/users/aardvarkfreak/)
Thu, Jul 20th 2006 01:07
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
About: Aardvark Topsites PHP is the premier PHP/SQL topsites script.
Members' ranks can be shown on their button, and there are 6 different
ranking methods, including pageviews. Powerful anticheating protection is
included. It supports categories. You can use up/down/neutral arrows. The
admin allows you to approve new members, edit existing members, delete bad
members, and much more.
Changes: This release included a critical security fix for servers with
magic_quotes_gpc disabled (most servers are not affected). Automatic
deletion of inactive members is now working again. In button.php, rank
calculating now ignores inactive sites. Character encodings in the
installer/upgrader now work. Month names on the stats page are now
translated into the default language instead of always being English. Ad
breaks no longer break the page layout if they are directly below the
final rank. Some minor HTML problems and a search query display glitch
were fixed.

About: AlphaMail is a mod_perl webmail system with a C++ middleware
component that is intended to make the system highly scalable. It supports
many Unix variants with any RFC-compliant IMAP server (including UW, Cyrus,
and Dovecot).
Changes: A problem where certain email address phrases (the part before
the actual address, in quotes) could cause a failure to open a folder or
message was fixed. The primary symptom from an admin point of view was an
httpd thread sucking up CPU for a long period of time.

About: arch is a modern replacement for CVS, specifically designed for the
distributed development needs of open source projects. It has uniquely good
support for development on branches (especially good merging tools),
distributed repositories (every developer can have branches in their own
repository), changeset-oriented project management (arch commits changes
to multiple files at once), and, of course, file and directory renaming.
Changes: * Fixes for Bugs 11731, 11701, 7502, 16334, 16539, 16538, and
16780. Enhanced support for several different SSH implementations. SHA1
checksums. Undo command specific file selection. Microsoft Windows NT FTP
server support. commit and undo commands allow file exclusion with the -x
option. library-dir has been added as an alias for my-revision-library,
and archive-register as an alias for register-archive. Cygwin support and
file name compression have been incorporated into tla proper. apply-delta
now supports diff3 style merge (via the -t option). This release honors
--skip-present for replay.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Presentation
Office/Business
About: The Big Faceless PDF Library is a Java class library for creating
PDF documents. The Extended Edition offers the ability to create and edit
AcroForms, PDF's answer to the HTML form. Like HTML forms, PDF forms can
contain text boxes, radio buttons, and can call JavaScript functions. The
Extended Edition also includes a PDF reader for importing and editing,
along with FDF support, verification for digital signatures and text
extraction. Both variations offer full Unicode support, encryption,
embedded TrueType and Type1 fonts, barcodes, hyperlinks, spot and
calibrated color.
Changes: The source to most of the PDFViewer package is now available
under the "src" folder, which will make life easier for those building
their own viewers. A PageExtractor.getMatchingText method was added to
help those trying to search a document and highlight the search terms. A
PageExtractor.Text.getOffset() method for determining the exact position
on the page of a section of text was added along with getPage(), which
returns the page the text was on. The getAngle() method was fixed, as its
results were rotated 180 degrees. XFA parsing is now much smarter.

About: Breakage is a drum machine with unusual real time programming and
performance. Where traditional step sequencers edit one note at time,
Breakage adds neural network and pattern morphing functions to allow
composition above the note level.
Changes: A global pitch-shift control is now available. The neural net
trainer now skips over patterns with identical input, making it more
efficient. You can now edit pattern names by double-clicking them in the

[012] - ExactImage 0.0.14
by René Rebe (http://freshmeat.net/users/ReneRebe/)
Thu, Jul 20th 2006 11:16
Multimedia :: Graphics
About: ExactImage is a fast C++ image processing library. Unlike
ImageMagick, it allows operation in several color spaces and bit depths
natively, resulting in much lower memory and computational requirements.
Some optimized algorithms operate in 1/20 of the time ImageMagick
requires, and displaying large images can be as fast as 1/10 of the time
the "display" program takes.
Changes: Endianness macro use was changed to be based on libc endian.h,
thus being more portable and actually working under e.g. Linux/SPARC. The
loader module registration was changed to allow explicit specification of
codec names. The dcraw loader registers more known digital RAW photo
filenames. edentify --format parsing was implemented. edisplay now shows
the usage help when no image file is specified.

System :: Software Distribution Tools
System :: Systems Administration
About: IsiSetup provides a commandline interface to manage your system
configuration files using a revision control tool. It runs on most
Debian-based distributions and integrates well into the Debian package
management system.
Changes: The revision control interface has been improved. The
'commit-interactive', 'restore', and 'rollback' commands are now much
friendlier to use. They are interactive and allow you to (de-)select each
file for inclusion. The interface and keys are modeled after 'darcs'. This
couples the user friendliness of 'darcs' with the power of 'git'.

increase under some circumstances, a bug in btree analysis that reported
the wrong number of pages, and minor inefficiencies in the deleted record
list.

Internet :: Proxy Servers
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
System :: Archiving :: Packaging
About: Japt-Proxy is a fast and reliable caching proxy for Debian's APT
system. It is intended for environments where several Debian systems have
to be kept up-to-date and downloading the same files over and over again

update Debian on many machines.
Changes: Support for the new Package diff (pdiff) files was added,
resulting in a performance improvement. Other small performance
improvements were made.

About: LLnextgen is a (partial) reimplementation of the LLgen
Extended-LL(1) parser generator that is part of the Amsterdam Compiler Kit
(ACK). It takes an EBNF-like description of the grammar with associated
semantic actions in C as input, and generates C code. The generated code
is strict ANSI C, so it should compile with all current C compilers.
Changes: Support for thread-safe parsers has been added, as well as
automatic token declarations through regular expression matching.

About: metaf2xml parses and decodes aviation routine weather reports and
aerodrome forecasts (i.e. METAR and TAF messages) and stores the
components in XML. They can then be converted to text, HTML, or other
formats.
Changes: This release adds XML tags for more than a dozen remarks. The XML
file can now be rendered to look like the output of the CGI; the option to
show the XML as text has therefore been removed. POD has been added to the
parser. There are a number of small changes, cleanups, and bugfixes.

Thu, Jul 20th 2006 13:59
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Software Development :: Libraries
About: NeatUpload allows ASP.NET developers to stream uploaded files to
disk and allows users to monitor upload progress. It works under Mono's
XSP/mod_mono as well as Microsoft's ASP.NET implementation and features
two custom controls. InputFile allows the user to select a file to upload
and ProgressBar displays the upload progress either inline or in a popup.
ProgressBar even allows users without JavaScript to see upload progress.
Changes: This is a critical bug fix release. It fixes a bug that caused
the progress display to not update until the upload was complete. This
release also includes the SqlServerInputFile extension for streaming
uploads to an SQL Server database, and fixes for the following minor bugs:
An incorrect error was thrown on a failed/rejected request, at least under
Mono/XSP. Comments in neatUpload/providers section of Web.config caused
errors. The progress display did not update if the server was too busy
receiving the upload (e.g. when uploading to a local development Web
server).

[030] - pgAdmin III 1.4.3
by Dave Page (http://freshmeat.net/users/pgsnake/)
Thu, Jul 20th 2006 08:44
Database :: Front-Ends
About: pgAdmin III is an administration and management tool for the
PostgreSQL database and derivative products such as EnterpriseDB, Mammoth
PostgreSQL, Pervasive Postgres, and SRA PowerGres. It includes a graphical
administration interface, an SQL query tool with grahical EXPLAIN, a
procedural code editor, an SQL/shell/batch scheduling agent, Slony-I
management, and much more. It is designed to answer the needs of most
users, from writing simple SQL queries to developing complex databases.
The graphical interface supports all PostgreSQL features and makes
administration easy.
Changes: Steps and schedules are displayed in the Job dialog. Interval
precision is displayed properly. Script rval is returned when executing
shell scripts from pgAgent. A slider is used instead of a spin control to
avoid a wxGTK bug on the status form. Users may edit roles where
appropriate. Roles with the appropriate permissions may create roles and
DBs. A bug in the pgpass code that could damage files was fixed. The
correct encoding is used in the View Data filter options. The user is
warned if files cannot be written. PkgInfo is installed into the Contents
directory in the appbundle. GNU vs. BSD xargs is detected when completing
an appbundle.

[031] - Piragibe 1.00
by Francisco Carlos Piragibe de Almeida
(http://freshmeat.net/users/fpiragibe/)
Thu, Jul 20th 2006 04:27
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
Software Development :: Libraries :: PHP Classes
Software Development :: Localization
About: Piragibe is a business database driven application framework. Its
main goal is to mimic, as closely as possible, the capabilities and
behaviour of Oracle Forms. It offers a metaphor that resembles Oracle
Developer with data blocks, forms, triggers, and events, a neat layer of
data validation capable of validating fields, records, and blocks of
records under programmatic control, clear separation and independence
between database access, programmatic views of database data and visual
presentation of data and information, access to any database supported by
PHP, national language support, and the ability to develop CRUD
applications with a few lines of code.

[032] - pkpgcounter 1.83
by Jerome Alet (http://freshmeat.net/users/jalet/)
Thu, Jul 20th 2006 09:44
Utilities
About: pkpgcounter parses files and outputs the number of pages needed to
print them. It currently recognizes the following formats: PostScript
(both DSC compliant and binary), PDF, PCL3/4/5, PCLXL (aka PCL6), ESC/P2,
DVI, TIFF, OpenDocument (ISO/IEC DIS 26300), and Zenographics ZjStream.
Changes: A bug introduced in version 1.82 prevented files in the ESC/P2,
TIFF, DVI, OpenDocument, and ZjStream formats from being correctly
identified. This release fixes this major problem, and people are advised
to upgrade to pkpgcounter 1.83 as soon as possible.

[033] - pmacct 0.11.0rc1
by Paolo Lucente (http://freshmeat.net/users/plucente/)
Thu, Jul 20th 2006 14:18
Internet :: Log Analysis
System :: Networking :: Monitoring
System :: Systems Administration
About: pmacct is a small set of passive network monitoring tools to
measure, account, classify, aggregate, and export IPv4 and IPv6 traffic. A
pluggable and flexible architecture allows collected network data to be
stored into memory tables or SQL (MySQL, SQLite, PostgreSQL) databases and
exported through NetFlow or sFlow protocols to remote collectors. pmacct
supports fully customizable historical data breakdown, flow sampling,
filtering and tagging, recovery actions, and triggers. Libpcap, sFlow
v2/v4/v5 and NetFlow v1/v5/v7/v8/v9 are supported.
Changes: pmacct daemons are now able to create and export both sFlow and
NetFlow packets. The new 'nfprobe' plugin allows you to create NetFlow
v1/v5/v9 datagrams and export them to an IPv4/IPv6 collector. The
'sfprobe' plugin allows you to create sFlow v5 datagrams and export them
to an IPv4 collector. The source of network data can be either libpcap or
incoming sFlow/NetFlow streams. There are minor fixes.

Thu, Jul 20th 2006 11:19
Software Development :: Compilers
About: Scala is a modern multi-paradigm programming language designed to
express common programming patterns in a concise, elegant, and type-safe
way. It smoothly integrates features of object-oriented and functional
languages including mixins, algebraic datatypes with pattern matching,
genericity, and more. It is well integrated with Java and .NET: the Scala
compiler produces standard Java class files or .NET assemblies, and
Java/.NET libraries and frameworks can be used without glue code or
additional declarations.
Changes: This release fixes many compiler bugs, and provides a new fsc
command for the fast Scala compiler. It has library additions like the
actors library and support for multi-line strings.

[037] - Stickloader 0.5
by Groer (http://freshmeat.net/users/groer/)
Thu, Jul 20th 2006 09:38
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Conversion
About: Stickloader is an easy solution for copying music files from your
hard disk to your USB stick and re-encoding them at a lower bitrate for
more efficient usage of your MP3 player disk space. Single MP3 and WAV
files and whole directories can be easily dragged on the Stickloader
window (which always stays on top), and they are automatically re-encoded
using LAME and copied to your USB stick by using a temporary directory to
avoid blocking the encoding process.
Changes: Copying of ID3 tags is working. Linux compatibility was improved.
Linux binaries and Windows setup are provided.

[038] - SurrealServices 0.4.0-rc3 (Testing)
by tabris (http://freshmeat.net/users/tabrisnet/)
Thu, Jul 20th 2006 01:33
Communications :: Chat :: Internet Relay Chat
Communications :: Conferencing
System :: Networking
About: SurrealServices is a full replacement
NickServ/ChanServ/BotServ/MemoServ/OperServ. Features are loosely based on
Anope and ConferenceRoom/Auspice, as well as NeoStats. Some security
features are also available such as a TOR (http://tor.eff.org/)
detector/banner, and a country detector (checks IP allocation). It is
multithreaded to eliminate lag due to the asynchronous nature of MySQL and
DNS lookups.
Changes: This release is generally functional but not fully tested yet.
More work is in progress to clean up the code. All features of 0.3 should
be present now, however this was achieved not by porting the features from
0.3 to 0.4, but rather the 0.4 framework over top of 0.3's tree, then
adjusting/cleaning the code.

Thu, Jul 20th 2006 09:37
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management
Software Development :: Testing
About: The Web Performance Suite is a suite of testing tools for web
servers, including load testing, web page performance analysis, and coming
in 2006 functional testing and performance monitoring. The statistical
analysis in the Load Testing Module takes your site's performance
criteria, and determines the number of users your Web site can handle.
Because data is collected at the URL level, it not only identifies slow
Web pages, but identifies the particular part of the Web page that caused
the problem. It includes hard-to-find features such as IP spoofing, client
certificates, multiple simultaneous test cases, authentication, SSL
recording and playback, automated analysis, AJAX support, SOAP support,
and more.
Changes: This release concentrates on improving support for complicated
SOAP architectures and improving quality and stability by implementing
dozens of customer suggestions.

System
Utilities
About: xjobs runs several jobs in parallel and limits the number of jobs
running at once so that every processor of the machine is busy, but not
overloaded. A batch of long-running processes invoked from the shell are
normally executed one after another, no matter how many processors are
available. xjobs allows batching those jobs while still keeping the
machine busy. The interface of xjobs is similar to that of xargs.

[048] - YourKit Java Profiler 6.0-EAP15
by YourKit Team (http://freshmeat.net/users/YourKitTeam/)
Thu, Jul 20th 2006 08:46
Software Development
Software Development :: Debuggers
Software Development :: Quality Assurance
About: YourKit Java Profiler is a CPU and memory profiler that makes it
easy to solve wide range of CPU- and memory-related performance problems.
It features automatic leak detection, powerful tools for the analysis of
memory distribution, an object heap browser, comprehensive memory tests as
part of your JUnit testing process, extremely low profiling overhead,
transparent deobfuscation support, and integration with Eclipse, JBuilder,
IntelliJ IDEA, NetBeans, and JDeveloper IDEs.
Changes: Memory and CPU snapshots contain telemetry information. The
profiler agent now uses a limited amount of memory for storing the
profiling data. This is especially important when profiling CPU or
recording object allocations for a very long time, if the profiled
application creates many short living threads. Previously, this might lead
to out of memory situations.

[049] - Zero Calorie DNS Server 1.0.5
by rleesBSD (http://freshmeat.net/users/rleesBSD/)
Thu, Jul 20th 2006 11:15
Internet :: Name Service (DNS)
About: The Zero Calorie DNS is a domain name server for which the binary
weighs in at 26K, that has no dependencies other than the minimal FreeBSD
6.0 installation. The server responds to "name server" (NS), "start of
authority" (SOA), "address record" (A), "reverse address" (PTR), and "mail
exchanger" (MX) requests. The server is fairly fast because the feature set
has been trimmed down to the bare minimum. A few things are hard-coded so
that a two minute setup is easy to accomplish. The hard-coding means that
it may not be for everyone, however.
