[001] - ACE 5.5a (Riverace Fix Kits)
by imipak (http://freshmeat.net/users/imipak/)
Tue, Oct 3rd 2006 14:27
Software Development :: Libraries
About: The ADAPTIVE Communication Environment (ACE) is an object-oriented
(OO) C++ framework that helps you develop and deploy high-performance
networked applications faster and with less code to write and maintain.
ACE is especially useful for systems that use network and/or inter-process
communications and that take advantage of multithreading. While the ACE
source code is free, that's not the only way you save money with ACE.
ACE's wrappers and higher-level patterns help you develop your software
quickly and portably, helping you to complete your projects on time and
within budget.
Changes: This release adds a new message queue class for enqueueing and
dequeueing multiple chained objects at once. It adds the method
ACE_Task::last_thread() to determine the last thread to exit from the
ACE_Task object. The selector and comparator function pointer arguments to
ACE_OS::scandir() and ACE_Dirent_Selector are now marked as extern "C".
ACE_OS::strptime() has been fixed to be POSIX compliant. Several methods
in ACE_SSL_Context have been fixed to support file load retries.
ACE_SSL_Asynch_Stream can be instantiated. There are minor code cleanups
and scopefixes.

Tue, Oct 3rd 2006 07:47
Information Management :: Issue Tracking
Security
System :: Monitoring
About: Advchk (Advisory Check) reads security advisories so you don't have
to. It gathers security advisories using RSS feeds, compares them to a list
of known software, and alerts you if you're vulnerable. Since adding
software lists by hand would be quite a boring task, it leverages your
systems package manager for detecting software. Using it can be as simple
as "advchk -F myhost.list". Quite a few CERTs and Vendors also offer
security-relevant RSS feeds, and some usenet gateways like Google Groups
offer RSS subscriptions.
Changes: A small bug was fixed in enableSshUpdate.sh, which led to an
error when .ssh/.id_?sa was missing. Ruby and django lists were added via
Google groups.

Apache. Several problems with imap_webcache that cause certain strange
folder names (e.g. containing quotes) to fail have been fixed. A potential
multi-thread safety issue in the netxx library has been fixed. Support has
been added for URL anchors in linkify. Better feedback has been added to
several controls. The attachment upload prevents input that will be lost.

About: Channel is a C++ template framework for distributed message passing
and event dispatching. Its major components (message IDs, routing
algorithms...) are highly configurable as template parameters. As a
namespace shared by peer threads, channels support publish/subscribe scope
control, message filtering, and translation.
Changes: The source code layout was restructured. Code was moved into the
following subdirectories: name_spaces, dispatchers, executors, and
streams. This makes the design intention clear as to where the plug and
playable components should be and what their interfaces are. A "stream"
class was added on top of a shared memory message queue to connect two
remote channels in two processes on the same box. Sample code was added
for a distributed chat server and a shared memory channel connection.

Games/Entertainment :: Role-Playing
About: LambdaRogue is a rogue-like role playing game set in the future of
a somehow "parallel world" to our own. People had to go underground to
survive a war between human society and the once peaceful Drakh'Nar,
another species on the planet. People founded the NeoTerr nation and tried
to build up a prosperous civilization. This worked, until suddenly strange
creatures came down the Great River Styx. The river has now become a
source of fear and terror. The player has to follow the river through
NeoTerr and discover the reason. The atmosphere is rather strange,
influcenced by phantasy and cyberpunk.
Changes: If users don't want to use graphical output via SDL, they can use
a text-based console mode. This release has customizable keys, faster
load/save, and several bugfixes.

[028] - Network PDF Server YAFPC-Appliance 1.05
by Wolfgang Ullrich (http://freshmeat.net/users/ullrich/)
Tue, Oct 3rd 2006 08:06
About: YAFPC-Appliance is a CD-ROM image based on KNOPPIX technology and
the PDF composer/printer/mailer YAFPC. Any PC booted from this CD can act
as a PDF print server and provide an unlimited number of network shared
virtual PDF printers. The system requirements are low. System
configuration can be done via a Web browser from any workstation in your
network. Virtual shared printers can be configured to apply letterheads,
watermarks, and appendices to all printed documents. After printing, a
document is sent to its owner by email, or can be accessed in a shared
folder on the server. Deployment is very simple.
Changes: When printing without letterheads, YAFPC-Appliance now takes care
of paper size and orientation page by page. Encryption settings were
enhanced with reader password, owner password, and all possible permission
settings for each printer. A file size limit for sending documents as email
attachments was introduced. A little bug was fixed where YAFPC-Appliance
wouldn't display finished jobs in the print queue any more.

that currently only supports MySQL management. This will be updated in the
next release to support more functionality, including multiple
authentication methods.
