Sun, Sep 10th 2006 06:43
System :: Networking :: Monitoring
About: AsItHappens is a real-time network statistics collector and
grapher. It collects data from devices over a network via ICMP and SNMP
and displays them on a graph, optionally storing collected data in a
database for later retrieval. Collection types include network response,
bandwidth usage, processor usage, memory usage, Cisco NBAR, and Cisco
NetFlow. AsItHappens polls data in regular intervals, which can be as
short as every second, to give immediate feedback on network performance.
AsItHappens can also graph flow information from packet capture files.
Changes: This release fixes some minor bugs, including a failure creating
a Host Resources processor graph, and an inaccuracy in Net-SNMP statistics
by a factor of 1000. It also accounts for devices whose ifNumber does not
match the number of entries in the MIB's interfaces table. This release
adds an ANT task for building javadoc, and it corrects many documentation
errors.

[013] - goblinhack 0.3
by goblin hack (http://freshmeat.net/users/goblinhack/)
Sun, Sep 10th 2006 11:19
Games/Entertainment
About: Goblin Hack is the world's first and probably last
smooth-scrolling, ASCII-graphics-based, OpenGL accelerated, rogue-like
dungeon game. The brave and noble warrior must navigate through random
dungeons, picking up goodies and picking off baddies along the way. Quiver
in fear at the ASCII fireball-breathing Dragons, Beholders, Vampires, and
even the occasional Goblin.
Changes: The Windows installer wasn't working. This release has vampire
bats that change into vampires and back again. Very hard to beat coins and
some monsters now appear in clusters/groups. The numeric keypad can be used
for moving. Weapons no longer fire through walls. This release compiles on
FreeBSD, and make install has been added.

[014] - Gujin 1.5
by Etienne (http://freshmeat.net/users/etiennelorrain/)
Sun, Sep 10th 2006 15:19
System :: Boot :: Init
About: Gujin is a PC boot loader which can analyze your filesystems. It
finds the Linux kernel images available, as well as other bootable
partitions (for *BSD, MS-DOS, Windows, etc.), and displays a graphical
menu for selecting which system to boot. Because it understands the
structure of Linux kernel images, Gujin does not need LILO and can even
load very big kernels. There is no need to execute anything after making a
new kernel: just copy the kernel image file into the "/boot" directory.
Gujin is written almost entirely in C with GCC, and it fully executes in
real mode to be as compatible as possible.
Changes: This release has a demo of a standalone *.kgz directly executable
from Gujin (cleandisk.kgz). It can try a default IDE password when a hard
disk is locked (to get all IDE HD locked and only boot with Gujin USB
thumb disk or floppy; set this password at installation time). The major
bugfixes are concerning DOS tiny.exe no longer lowercasing the kernel
command line, a fix for a problem with HIMEM and GCC-4.1.1, and a fix for
a BIOS bug when finishing a CD-ROM disk emulation.

About: H2 is an SQL database engine written in Java (but also available as
a native binary). JDBC and ODBC APIs are supported. Embedded and server
modes are available. A Web console application is included. Clustering is
supported.
Changes: New SQL statements 'set ignorecase', 'set compress_lob', and
'drop all objects' are implemented. The script file can now be compressed.
Compatibility with OpenOffice has been improved. Problems with the 'script'
command have been fixed. Deleting many rows from a table with a
self-referencing constraint with 'on delete cascade' works now. The Rownum
function can now be used with subqueries. A problem with correlated
subqueries has been resolved.

Communications
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
System :: Networking :: Firewalls
About: HTTPTunnel is a simple client/server application for creating an
HTTP tunnel between two machines, optionally via a Web proxy. This tunnel

(JButtonBar), a font chooser (JFontChooser), an Outlook Bar (JOutlookBar),
a Tip Of The Day dialog (JTipOfTheDay), and a directory chooser
(JDirectoryChooser).
Changes: A change in 6.9 broke the look and feel of several custom

[031] - OpenDBX 1.1.5 (Development)
by Norbert Sendetzky (http://freshmeat.net/users/nsendetzky/)
Sun, Sep 10th 2006 04:19
Database :: API
Software Development :: Libraries
About: OpenDBX is an extremely lightweight but extensible C library for
accessing databases with a single API. It provides a clean and simple
interface across all supported databases that leads to an elegant code
design automatically. Currently, Firebird/Interbase, MySQL, PostgreSQL,
SQLite, and SQL Server (MS and Sybase) are supported, and backends for
more native database APIs can be written easily.
Changes: This release contains the new Sybase backend which is based on
Sybase's ctlib for handling communication to ASE servers. In contrast to
the old dblib, it's much more flexible and will be able to support
prepared statements in the future. The freetds backend still exists and
can be used for connecting to a MS SQL Server and was therefore renamed to
mssql backend. A new schema for naming data types was introduced (the old
one will coexist for compatibility), and two bugs in the freetds backend
were fixed.

Sun, Sep 10th 2006 15:17
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 new include file (bigint.s7i) and a new example program
(chkbig.sd7) were added. Changes in the compiler to support some
bigInteger functionality were made. Support for the str_elemcpy action was
added to the compiler.

Sun, Sep 10th 2006 23:26
Software Development :: Interpreters

About: Sleep is an embeddable scripting solution for Java applications. It
is heavily inspired by Perl with bits of Objective-C thrown in. Features
include function closures as first-class types, a unified I/O interface
for sockets/processes/files, and the ability to instantiate/query Java
objects. The Sleep Java API allows the language to be extended with new
constructs, operators, functions, and variable containers.
Changes: This release adds a debug option for tracing function calls. The
import statement was extended to allow scripts to load classes from an
external JAR file. Sleep arrays and hashes are now converted to equivalent
Java data structures when calling into Java methods. A lighter syntax was
added for creating arrays and hashes in place.
