Thu, Sep 14th 2006 23:36
Database
Documentation
Information Management
About: AgileWiki is a Java-based wiki that provides a virtual wiki for
each registered user, complete with access control and versioning. The
backend includes a built-in database (which uses flat files) and
communicates via RMI to either a Servlet (packaged as a WAR file) or to a
Swing client. AgileWiki is also both an application platform and a
knowledge management system.
Changes: A bug was found and fixed in the copy, crPage, and crFolder
commands. The SwingClient checkbox is shorter and looks nicer. The View
command now sports a Semantic feature. Some internal code was added for
semantic relations and inferencing, but there's nothing you can play with
yet.

availability configurations on multiple nodes. It integrates pcap packet
dumping for debugging purposes and allows the implementation of a
"transparent forensic logging bridge".
Changes: An additional $status$ parameter has been added to the target
alert and upalert scripting functionality. A tcpopen healthcheck problem
has been fixed (failing tcpopen healthcheck in some cases). The manual has
been updated to release 1.615.0.

Thu, Sep 14th 2006 14:33
Information Management
Multimedia :: Graphics
Office/Business
About: Barcode Writer in Pure Postscript implements the printing of many
barcode formats entirely within level 2 PostScript, so that the process of
converting the input string into the printed output is performed by the
printer itself. This avoids the need to re-implement the barcode
generation process whenever your language needs change. The project
supports most major barcode formats including EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E,
ISBN, Code 128 (A, B, and C), Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, Postnet, Code 2
of 5, and Codabar.
Changes: Functional comments were added to the head of the encoders to
allow applications to extract the symbology name and example input data.

[005] - C Generic Library 0.4.2
by micah villmow (http://freshmeat.net/users/battledragon/)
Thu, Sep 14th 2006 22:54
Software Development :: Libraries
About: The C Generic Library is a collection of data structures designed
and created in as generic a fashion as possible. Each data structure will
contain its own basic memory management, be able to handle any object
type, and hopefully constrain to strict algorithmic constraints. It
contains doubly linked list, vector, deque, stack, queue, open and closed
hash tables, and a binary tree structure, with list and vector based
versions available for deque, stack, and queue.
Changes: Support for compilation on Windows using VS.net was added.

[010] - eXcavator 1.0.2
by Myron Turner (http://freshmeat.net/users/turnermm03/)
Thu, Sep 14th 2006 22:38
Text Processing :: Markup :: XML
About: eXcavator is an XML query processing class for PHP. Queries are
constructed using a small query language, and query results are returned
as either loosely formed or strict XML, in formats suitable for both text
and HTML. One of eXcavator's most useful features is its facility to
insert query results into user-defined templates, which allow for a free
interpolation of user text and the data extracted by the query. It runs on
top of XML_PullParser, but uses a completely independent API. However, it
does offer opportunities to use the facilities of both packages side by
side for programmers familiar with both.
Changes: Enhanced functionality was added to both the _AND_ and the _OR_
operators. Previously, these operators could only work on sequences of
expressions which shared the same context-element and were of the same
type, either attributes or element character data. In the enhanced
version, both different types and mulitple contexts are supported in the
same condition. This version also adds class documentation created by
phpDocumentor.

[011] - FauBackup 0.5.9
by Tali (http://freshmeat.net/users/tali/)
Thu, Sep 14th 2006 14:15
System :: Archiving :: Backup
About: FauBackup uses a filesystem on a hard drive for incremental and
full backups. All backups can easily be accessed by standard filesystem
tools. Later backups to the same filesystem will automatically be
incremental, as unchanged files are only hard-linked with the existing
version of the file.
Changes: If the operating system offers support for O_NOATIME, then this
release will use that to preserve the access time of all files that are
backed up. It supports custom config file locations via an environment
variable, and has improved error handling.

[023] - jDTAUS 2.0.6
by Christian Schulte (http://freshmeat.net/users/schulte2005/)
Thu, Sep 14th 2006 23:37
Office/Business :: Financial
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
About: jDTAUS is a Java implementation of the German DTAUS file format as
specified by Zentraler Kreditausschuss. It implements the DTAUS
specification version 2.0 (dated November 2005). The API was written with
mass-data support in mind and provides all possible kinds of operations on
a DTAUS file. Performance or memory critical sections of the code can be
hand-tuned via a property file without rebuilding the code. The API is
based on an abstraction layer for I/O operations, so implementations can
be adopted to other persistence mechanisms.
Changes: This release fixes two bugs, both of which led to illegally
formatted DTAUS0 files. Dates created in the range of 2000 to 2009 were
not written correctly. Additionally, not all unused fields got initialized
correctly, leading to uninitialized content in generated files.

inventory (with Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X agents), and remote access on
a single server. It can be managed from any PC through a Web-based
administration interface, and disk images can be restored using PXE boot
or using a bootable CD or DVD. It supports Ext2/3, ReiserFS, XFS, JFS, and
LVM v1/v2.
Changes: LVM1/2-based hard disk images can now be burned to a bootable
CD/DVD for easy restoration, without the need for PXE network boot as
before. A Red Hat/CentOS LVM2 backup bug was fixed. Support for newer
hardware was added. Small bugs in the Web interface were fixed.

[038] - RDVIS 1.0 (SLO)
by Kristof Beyls (http://freshmeat.net/users/kbeyls/)
Thu, Sep 14th 2006 08:52
Scientific/Engineering :: Visualization
Software Development :: Code Generators
Software Development :: Compilers
About: The RDVIS tool helps programmers pin-point the sources of cache
misses and poor temporal locality in their source code. The visualization
often directs the experienced programmer towards the necessary program
transformations within a few minutes. The tool consists of two parts: a
GUI that visualizes the low temporal locality patterns, and a patched GCC
compiler to extract the low-locality patterns from programs.
Changes: In comparison to RDVIS, SLO does an inter-procedural analysis. As
a result, it can pinpoint the source code where a refactoring must be
performed to increase temporal locality. Using SLO, 5 of the SPEC2000
programs could be optimized in a platform-independent way. As a result of
the reduced number of cache misses, these programs run two times faster on
average. In comparison, with RDVIS, only 2 programs in SPEC2000 were found
where locality could be significantly optimized.
