[002] - Aranea framework 1.0-RC1
by Taimo (http://freshmeat.net/users/taimo/)
Sat, Aug 26th 2006 02:48
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
About: Aranea is a hierarchical Model-View-Controller Web framework that
provides a common, simple approach to building Web application components,
reusing custom or general GUI logic, and extending the framework. The
framework enforces programming using object oriented techniques with POJOs
and provides a JSP tag library that facilitates the programming of Web GUIs
without writing HTML. In addition to being a full-fledged Web framework in
its own right, it provides a powerful and simple component system that
allows the framework to be tailored by configuring the reusable modules
and adding modules only for the missing features.
Changes: Major enhancements in this first release candidate include
optimized session size, support for both external linking and opening
links in a new browser window, and a reworked Javascript API. Internal
coding and naming standards have been reviewed and written down in the
"Aranea Development Guide", and the codebase refactored to comply with
them.

[008] - HTTP extension for PHP 1.2.1
by Michael Wallner (http://freshmeat.net/users/_mike_/)
Sat, Aug 26th 2006 02:53
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Software Development :: Libraries :: PHP Classes
About: The HTTP extension for PHP aims to provide a convenient and
powerful set of functionality for one of PHP's major applications. It
eases handling of HTTP URLs, dates, redirects, headers, and messages,
provides means for negotiation of clients' preferred language and charset,
as well as a convenient way to send any arbitrary data with caching and
resuming capabilities. It provides powerful request functionality if built
with CURL support. Parallel requests are available for PHP 5 and greater.
Changes: This release adds HttpException::__toString(), which takes care
of any inner exceptions and disallows detaching HttpRequest objects from
HttpRequestPool while executing progress callbacks. It fixes a crash on
detaching requests from the pool in request event callbacks, suppression
of nested exceptions (e.g., in HttpRequestPool::send()), and issues with
inheritance and cloning of HttpDeflateStream, HttpInflateStream, and
HttpMessage (Extending classes lose default properties on instantiation;
Complex members are ignored during cloning).

ANSI Smalltalk collection protocols. It only works with J2SE 5.
Changes: Several static factory methods were added to the concrete
collection classes to leverage generic type inference. The Interval class
and its supporting structures were added. Intervals are read-only
arithmetic progressions of numbers. The Arrays class was added for
manipulating arrays. Collections.toDictionary(UnaryFunction) and
Collections.toIdentityDictionary(UnaryFunction) were added.

Database
Database :: API
Scientific/Engineering
About: JDBCPersistence is an Object Relational Mapping framework.
Designed for use in high volume online banking applications, the package
delivers performance matching that exhibited by hand-written JDBC code. It
uses a bytecode generation technique to create bytecode for classes that
implement logic used for persisting the data. As the framework uses SQL
for querying data, the learning curve is reduced. The footprint of the
package is under 200KB.

About: libferris is a virtual filesystem that exposes hierarchical data of
all kinds through a common C++ interface. Access to data is performed using
C++ IOStreams and Extended Attributes (EA) can be attached to each file or
directory to present metadata. Ferris uses a plugin API to read various
data sources and expose them as filesystems and to generate interesting
EA. Current implementations include native (kernel disk IO with fam), XML
(mount an XML file as a filesystem), DB4, xmldb, Evolution, Firefox,
Emacs, LDAP, HTTP, FTP, eet, sockets, RDF/XML, RDF/bdb, and mbox. EA
generators include image, audio, and animation decoders.
Changes: New Clucene 0.8.x fulltext and metadata index modules were
included along with a new Xapian metadata index module. There were updates
for single term redland metadata index queries, and the redland metadata
index module now uses db environments where available.
libferris-googleearth now also falls back to /usr/local/bin for the
libferris-googleearth-bouncer.pl path and supports miles as a unit in
geographic queries. A new "Global Smush Group Leader Regex" was added to
indicate URLs which are always new content.

Sat, Aug 26th 2006 11:40
Multimedia :: Video
Multimedia :: Video :: Conversion
Multimedia :: Video :: Display
About: Libquicktime is based on the great quicktime4linux library with
several enhancements. All 3rd-party libraries were removed from the
sourcetree. Instead, the systemwide installed libraries are detected by
the configure script. All original codecs were moved into dynamically
loadable modules, and new codecs are in development. Libquicktime is
source-compatible with quicktime4linux (i.e., all quicktime4linux apps can
be linked with libquicktime). Special API extensions allow access to the
codec registry and more convenient processing of Audio and Video data.
Libquicktime comes with all original utility programs, and additional
tools, like a commandline player and a GTK configuration utility which can
configure the parameters of all installed codecs. The configuration is
stored in the home directory and is be used by all libquicktime
applications.
Changes: This is a bugfix release, no new features were added. Writing of
compressed frames (important for DVgrab/Kino) was fixed, as well as
seeking with some codecs. Furthermore, the source tree and CVS were
cleaned up.

About: ManDVD is a tool for generating video DVDs.
Changes: A new brush type was added for the mask editor. Effects were
added on the animated menu (static and animated effects). A button was
added to cancel the encoding process. When encoding is finished and you go
back to make change on your menu, the encoding process no longer restarts,
even if you don't go to the first page. A button was added to totally
cancel the menu. A bug with a menu with more than 10 items was fixed. The
English translation was improved. Many small corrections were made for
other translations.

by Ryan Newberry (http://freshmeat.net/users/brnewber/)
Sat, Aug 26th 2006 11:42
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: CD Audio :: CD Ripping
About: RipOff is a GTK+ based CD ripper for Linux (and hopefully for other
Unix systems once some testing and fixing have been done) that has a simple
interface, CDDB lookups, and a plugin-based encoder architecture. It
attempts to appeal to those users who want a non-GNOME dependent CD ripper
with a simple interface, or users who just don't like the interfaces of the
other GTK+ CD rippers.
Changes: A bug that was causing 100% CPU usage due to a busy loop was
fixed. This should also bring RipOff's ripping speeds back to normal on
systems running 2.6.17 or later Linux kernels.

Software Development :: Compilers
Software Development :: Interpreters
About: Seed7 is a general purpose programming language. It is a higher
level language compared to Ada, C++, and Java. In Seed7, new statements
and operators can be declared easily. Functions with type results and type
parameters are more elegant than a template or generics concept. Object
orientation is used when it brings advantages and not in places when other
solutions are more obvious. Although Seed7 contains several concepts of
other programming languages, it is generally not considered as a direct
descendant of any other programming language.
Changes: A description of the "attr" parameter was added to the manual.
The first steps towards bigInteger support were done. The graphic and
keyborad drivers for Windows have been improved. A check for the maximum
of fish and sharks was added to the wator example program.

"Manage Customer", and "Customer Details" pages, the "Total", "Paid", and
"Owing" fields have been added to reflect the customer's account summary.
A Process Payment feature has been added in Manage Invoice and Quick View
to allow the recording of payments by clients for invoice. A Blank

Multimedia :: Video :: Conversion
About: videotrans is a set of scripts that convert a movie file in any
format that mplayer understands to a DVD-compatible VOB file, doing all
the necessary conversions automatically. An automatic DVD menu generator
is also provided.
Changes: A bug was fixed in movie-title where movie-title would call
ImageMagick's convert with wrong parameters, producing a defective PNG
which would cause spumux (in the dvdauthor package) to crash later on in
the building process. Whether this would happen or not seems fairly
random, but it was a big nuisance that affected a lot of users.
movie-rip-tv.com now works again with tv.com's new URL format.
