Wed, Jul 26th 2006 22:55
Communications :: Email :: Filters
Software Development :: Libraries :: Perl Modules
About: Apache SpamAssassin is an extensible email filter that is used to
identify spam. Once identified, the mail can then be optionally tagged as
spam for later filtering. It provides a command line tool to perform
filtering, a client-server system to filter large volumes of mail, and
Mail::SpamAssassin, a set of Perl modules allowing Apache SpamAssassin to
be used in a wide variety of email systems.
Changes: A large number of bugs were fixed. sa-update will no longer leave
SpamAssassin in an unusable state if the first use fails to download or
install an update. sa-update will now be able to use GnuPG on Windows.
Macros such as the one used by report_contact will be replaced when
updates are installed. SpamAssassin was unusable with exim4 when BSMTP
mode is used. A number of documentation updates were also made.

Security
System :: Networking
About: arp-scan sends ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) queries to the
specified targets, and displays any responses that are received. It allows
any part of the outgoing ARP packets to be changed, allowing the behavior
of targets to non-standard ARP packets to be examined. The IP address and
hardware address of received packets are displayed, together with the
vendor details. These details are obtained from the IEEE OUI and IAB
listings, plus a few manual entries. It includes arp-fingerprint, which
allows a system to be fingerprinted based on how it responds to
non-standard ARP packets.
Changes: Support was added for BSD systems (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and
Mac OS X). Startup time and memory usage were reduced for large target
networks. Operation of the --srcaddr option was improved. All ethernet
frame fields and ARP packet fields can now be controlled. Documentation
was improved. IEEE OUI and IAB listings were updated. Additional
fingerprints were added for arp-fingerprint.

Wed, Jul 26th 2006 11:45
About: bosh takes the output of the specified command and displays it
using a simple ncurses interface. Actions can be configured and run using
the currently selected line of the output as part of the action. An
example is to use ps as the main command and kill as an action. Then,
using bosh, the ps output can be browsed to find a particular process,
which is then killed.
Changes: This release adds support for user-input to parameters, a method
of aborting a configuration if it is invoked incorrectly (BOSHERR),
multi-line entries in configuration files to aid readability, a configure
script, and a few minor fixes.

by Michael K. Johnson (http://freshmeat.net/users/johnsonm/)
Wed, Jul 26th 2006 12:13
Software Development :: Version Control
System :: Archiving :: Packaging
System :: Installation/Setup
About: Conary is a distributed software management system for Linux
distributions. It replaces traditional package management solutions (such
as RPM and dpkg) with one designed to enable loose collaboration across
the Internet. It enables sets of distributed and loosely connected
repositories to define the components which are installed on a Linux
system. Rather than having a full distribution come from a single vendor,
it allows administrators and developers to branch a distribution, keeping
the pieces which fit their environment while grabbing components from
other repositories across the Internet.
Changes: The conary query and repquery commands now take a --what-provides
argument. Update behavior has been refined when updating pinned troves.
This release discovers CIL dependency version mappings in .config files.

[007] - DiffJ 1.0.7
by Jeff Pace (http://freshmeat.net/users/JEugenePace/)
Wed, Jul 26th 2006 08:08
Software Development
About: DiffJ is a commandline application that compares Java files based
on content, not whitespace, comments, or reordering of types, methods, or
fields. Its output is based on the Unix program diff, and it also has a
"brief" output format for a concise summary of what changed. It can work
on directories recursively, looking for matching filenames, like "diff -r
dir0 dir1". It is primarily for developers refactoring and reformatting
Java code, for which most difference tools tend to produce misleading
results regarding the type and extent of changes.
Changes: This version includes a significant performance improvement.

without clipping. Stop button behaviour has been improved. The audio
stream stopped when video started and vice-versa. XMMS or totem are not
killed if changing between streams of the same modality. The positions of
the Save and Cancel buttons in Preferences have been switched for
consistency.

[048] - Unicode Description Utilities 2.19
by Bill Poser (http://freshmeat.net/users/billposer/)
Wed, Jul 26th 2006 12:13
Text Processing :: Linguistic
Utilities
About: The Unicode Description Utilities is a set of four programs for
finding out what is in a Unicode file. uniname defaults to printing the
character offset of each character, its byte offset, its hex code value,
its encoding, the glyph itself, and its name. Command line options allow
undesired information to be suppressed and the Unicode range to be added.
unidesc reports the character ranges to which different portions of the
text belong. unihist generates a histogram of the characters in its input.
ExplicateUTF8 is intended for debugging or for learning about Unicode. It
determines and explains the validity of a sequence of bytes as a UTF-8
encoding.
Changes: The data has been updated to Version 5.0 of the Unicode standard.

Office/Business
About: WebGUI is a content management framework built to allow average
business users to build and maintain complex Web sites. It is modular,
pluggable, and platform independent. It was designed to allow the people
who create the content to manage it online, rather than content management

features including shopping cart, subscriptions, forums, photo galleries,
FAQs, link lists, blogs, SQL reports, a Web services interface, and a very
configurable user privilege and profiling system.
Changes: Several dozen bugfixes and a few minor improvements in this
release. Upgrading is recommended.

[050] - Wormux 0.7.2
by Haypo (http://freshmeat.net/users/haypo/)
Wed, Jul 26th 2006 12:16
Games/Entertainment
About: Wormux is a game in which the mascots of your favorite free
software systems battle in an arena. Using dynamite, grenades, baseball
bats, bazookas, and other weapons, you must exterminate your opponents in
a 2D cartoon style setting and a funny environment. Although a minimum of
strategy is required to vanquish, Wormux is pre-eminently a "convivial
mass murder" game where, turn by turn, each member of each team attempts
to produce a maximum of damage to the opponents.
Changes: The project has been ported to SDL, and a new graphical engine
has been developed (now most configurations have 50 FPS). The use of a new
physical engine allows the creation of a ninja rope and jet pack. An
explosive gnu and an airhammer have also been added. The graphical quality
of the game is better. It works on PowerPC and AMD-64, and packages for a
lot of Linux distributions, FreeBSD, and Windows are available. Thanks to
Unicode and TTF, it's possible to display any character (eg. play in
Russian). There is also a new Web site.

by Thomas Maier-Komor (http://freshmeat.net/users/komor/)
Wed, Jul 26th 2006 15:24
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.
Changes: Termination messages for jobs without output have been condensed
to a single line, and a missing newline has been added to job startup
reports.

[052] - XML_PullParser 1.0.4
by Myron Turner (http://freshmeat.net/users/turnermm03/)
Wed, Jul 26th 2006 22:57
Text Processing :: Markup
Text Processing :: Markup :: XML
About: XML_PullParser moves the API of the PHP XML facility from an
event-based model to a token-based model. Instead of processing data as it
is passed from the parser to callbacks, a script using PullParser requests
"tokens" from XML_PullParser_getToken() and a number of helper functions.
Tokens are arrays representing XML structures, which become available in
the order in which they appear in the document being parsed. Methods are
provided both to get tokens and to extract their data.
Changes: This release fixes a bug in the XML_PullParser_getSequence()
method which can cause the return of inaccurate results when its
sequencing array is put into effect, particularly when getting text. It
was felt to be an important enough problem to issue this release in
advance of the promised release that will incorporate error checking and
tracking. This was also used as a chance to update, expand, and correct
some of the documentation.

About: Xwota is intended for amateur radio operators who want to make use
of the WOTA database. It can be used to find out who is on the air, the
band and frequency they are operating on, and their location by country,
state, county, grid, and latitude/longitude.
Changes: The user interface was completely rewritten. A participate option
was added. Little changes were made in the upload policy.

[055] - ziproxy 2.1.0
by Daniel Mealha Cabrita (http://freshmeat.net/users/dancab/)
Wed, Jul 26th 2006 22:51
Internet :: Proxy Servers
About: Ziproxy is a forwarding (non-caching) proxy that gzips text and
HTML files, and reduces the size of images by converting them to lower
quality JPEGs. It is intended to increase the speed for low-speed Internet
connections and it's suitable for both home and professional usage. Ziproxy
is fully configurable and also features transparent proxy mode, preemptive
name resolution, operation in either daemon mode or (x)inetd mode, a
detailed access log with compression statistics, basic authentication, and
more.
Changes: This version introduces an experimental HTML, JavaScript, and CSS
optimizer. The gains vary from 5% to 10% (on pre-optimized sites) to 50%
(with handcrafted code). Also, some bugs were fixed, bringing more
stability.
