Ever wonder why HP has seven consecutive years of Linux market share
leadership? Maybe it's our portfolio of best-of-breed partner products, or
HP value-add in management, high availability, and virtualization. Maybe
it's the integrated, consolidated infrastructure of HP BladeSystem,
single-source accountability and solution support from HP Services in 160
countries, or just our unwavering commitment to the open source community.

Scientific/Engineering
About: DB Visual Architect (DBVA) is a powerful tool that provides
support for Object Relational Mapping (ORM) and Entity Relationship
Diagrams (ERD), which assist with realizing UML designs as relational

Scientific/Engineering
Scientific/Engineering :: Mathematics
About: DOLFIN is the C++ interface of the FEniCS project for the
Automation of Computational Mathematical Modeling (ACMM), providing a
consistent PSE (Problem Solving Environment) for solving ordinary and

and intuitive object-oriented API; automatic and efficient evaluation of
variational forms through FFC; automatic and efficient assembly of linear
systems; and support for general families of finite elements.
Changes: The DOLFIN mesh library has been rewritten from scratch and
replaces the old mesh library. The new mesh is faster, more generic, and
simpler than the old mesh library. Support has also been added for direct
evaluation (assembly) of functionals. DOLFIN now generates a dolfin.pc for
use with pkg-config, obsoleting the old dolfin-config script, which is now
removed.

Desktop Environment :: Tools
About: The Enhanced TightVNC Viewer package is part of the x11vnc VNC
server project. It provides a native VNC viewer that takes advantage of
new features in x11vnc, e.g. cursor alpha blending and automatic SSL
tunnelling. Some features apply to any VNC server, e.g. automatic SSH
tunnelling. Another goal is to provide a package that conveniently bundles
everything needed for the user to have the enhanced viewer running quickly.
This includes pre-built binaries of the viewer and utility programs for
Windows and many Unix variants, and a GUI to configure and launch the
viewer.
Changes: Minor improvements to the GUI. SMB directory caching timeout has
increased to 20 seconds.

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: CD Audio
Multimedia :: Video
Software Development :: Libraries
About: The GNU Compact Disc Input and Control library encapsulates CD-ROM
reading and control for applications wishing to be oblivious to the OS-
and device-dependent properties of a CD-ROM. It provides an API for access
to SCSI-MMC (multimedia commands) and support for CD image types like
BIN/CUE, cdrdao's TOC, and Nero's NRG, which gives applications using the
library the ability to read disc images as though they were CDs. ISO-9660
filesystem support is included, as are utility programs for displaying CD
and CD-ROM drive information, reading the blocks of a CD, and extracting
files from an ISO-9660 filesytem image. cdparanoia is also included.
Changes: This release improves UTF-8 support, adds a commandline tool for
issuing some common multimedia commands (MMC), makes "eject" on GNU/Linux
unmount the drive when needed, and adds UDF support to extract file data
(at least for ICB strategy type 4).

[015] - GNU ed 0.3-rc2 (Development)
by Antonio Diaz Diaz (http://freshmeat.net/users/ant_diaz/)
Fri, Oct 27th 2006 10:57
Text Editors
About: GNU ed is a line-oriented text editor. It is used to create,
display, modify and otherwise manipulate text files, both interactively
and via shell scripts. A restricted version of 'ed', 'red', can only edit
files in the current directory, and cannot execute shell commands. ed is
the "standard" text editor in the sense that it is the original editor
for UNIX, and thus widely available. For most purposes, however, it is
superceded by full-screen editors such as Emacs, and Vi.
Changes: Some changes have been made to "configure" and "Makefile".
"configure" now accepts a "--version" option. The "i" command now works
with address 0 (zero). Some compatibility warnings have been fixed.

[017] - HTTP extension for PHP 1.3.3
by Michael Wallner (http://freshmeat.net/users/_mike_/)
Fri, Oct 27th 2006 23:59
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: A problem with HttpResponse::setHeader("name", {omitted|NULL|""})
not unsetting headers was fixed. Array parameters were fixed to allow NULL
in HttpRequest::__construct(), HttpRequest::getResposeCookie(),
HttpMessage::setHeaders(), http_parse_cookie(), and http_post_fields().
Possible leaks in http_send_data() and HttpResponse::setData() were fixed.
Building --without-http-curl-requests was corrected. Building with PHP
earlier than 4.3.10 was fixed.

Desktop Environment :: Gnome
Software Development :: Libraries
Software Development :: Libraries :: Python Modules
About: Libxml2 is the XML C library developed for the Gnome project. The
library code is portable (to Linux, Unix, Windows, embedded systems, etc.)

a number of existing standards related to markup languages, including the
XML standard, Namespaces in XML, XML Base, Relax NG, RFC 2396, XPath,
XPointer, HTML4, XInclude, SGML Catalogs, and XML Catalogs. In most cases,
libxml tries to implement the specifications in a relatively strict way. To
some extent, it provides support for the following specifications, but
doesn't claim to implement them: DOM, FTP client, HTTP client, and SAX2.
Support for W3C XML Schemas is in progress. It includes xmllint, a command
line XML validator.

About: Mod_suexec_helper adds UserId and GroupId directives to Apache,
which are passed as arguments to suexec when starting CGI scripts. This
allows much finer control of which user and group ID scipts get run as,
compared to suexec's normal SuexecUserGroup directive that can only be
used once per virtual host definition.
Changes: This release works with Apache 2.2 as well as Apache 2.0.

Fri, Oct 27th 2006 11:01
Internet
Internet :: Name Service (DNS)
System :: Monitoring
About: PHREL is a per host rate limiter. It will track the rate of
incoming traffic on a server and insert a chain into iptables when a
configured threshold is crossed. The inserted chain may either rate limit
or block the offending host for a period of time. The inserted chain is
automatically removed when the offending host's traffic levels return to
normal. PHREL is particularly well suited to protecting nameservers (DNS)
from random hosts that flood requests, and to preventing SSH brute force
login attempts.
Changes: Command line thresholds are no longer required if they are
specified within the configuration file.

About: pkpgcounter parses files and outputs the number of pages needed to
print them. It can also, for certain file formats, compute the percentage
of ink colors covering each page. It currently recognizes the following

Changes: The robustness of the code that does ink accounting was improved
to correctly handle cases where the file conversion went wrong. If you
plan to use ink accounting with PyKota, use this release of pkpgcounter;
otherwise upgrading is not necessary.
