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.

About: AntTweakBar is a small and easy-to-use C/C++ library that allows
programmers to quickly add a light and intuitive GUI into OpenGL or
DirectX based graphic programs to interactively tweak them. Program
variables can be linked to a graphical control that allows users to modify
them. Programmers are not required to design the graphical interface by
providing coordinates or by using a visual UI editor. Controls are
automatically organized following an optional given hierarchy.

Sun, Oct 29th 2006 20:56
Software Development :: Build Tools
Software Development :: Testing
About: AntUnit is a library of Ant tasks that was initially developed to
write tests for Ant tasks without resorting to JUnit. It makes it easy to
turn an existing build file that exhibits an error into an AntUnit test.
Tests are written as targets in a build file using assertion tasks
provided by AntUnit. The antunit task executes targets in a collection of
build files and supports custom listeners in a manner similar to the junit
task's formatters.
Changes: This release fixes a few bugs found in the first beta, and adds a
new assertion that matches strings against regular expressions (requires
Apache Ant 1.7.0 Beta 3 or later).

addresses already discovered are remembered. A port was made for Solaris8
ultrasparc IIi. The "white list", "black list", "authorizations", and
"oui.txt" are reloaded when a SIGHUP is received. The use of errno was
generalized. The code was cleaned. The install system was changed. A
default config was generated. A scheduler bug in dumping lease time was
fixed. A lease file dump is launched before quitting.

[021] - GNU ddrescue 1.3-rc1 (Development)
by Antonio Diaz Diaz (http://freshmeat.net/users/ant_diaz/)
Sun, Oct 29th 2006 20:26
System :: Recovery Tools
About: GNU ddrescue is a data recovery tool. It copies data from one file
or block device (hard disc, cdrom, etc) to another, trying hard to rescue
data in case of read errors. GNU ddrescue does not truncate the output
file if not asked to. So, every time you run it on the same output file,
it tries to fill in the gaps. The basic operation of GNU ddrescue is fully
automatic. That is, you don't have to wait for an error, stop the program,
read the log, run it in reverse mode, etc. If you use the logfile feature
of GNU ddrescue, the data is rescued very efficiently (only the needed
blocks are read). Also you can interrupt the rescue at any time and resume
it later at the same point.
Changes: This is a maintenance release. Some changes to the "configure"
script have been made, and the target "sddrescue", which builds a
statically linked ddrescue, has been added to the Makefile.

management. The look and feel can be easily adapted to users' needs.
Changes: Some new tweaks were made for Kolab handling. A possible infinite
loop while handling sieve scripts has been fixed. Several smaller W3C
conformance problems have been addressed. Handling of shadow attributes
when using templates has been corrected. An issue with the address book
has been fixed.

Sun, Oct 29th 2006 23:39
Software Development :: User Interfaces
About: gtkdialog is a GUI-creation utility that can be used with an
arbitrary interpreter. It enables the programmer to describe a graphical
user interface in a simple XML-like language, and use it with any
interpreter that supports either files, standard I/O, or environment
variables. It can be called as an external program from the interpreter,
but can be used as a stand-alone framework for the application as well.
Stand-alone, bash, and awk examples are provided.
Changes: This version includes support for the widget properties and
signals. A very useful new feature is the Glade compatibility which
enables one to load and execute the Glade XML files from a shell program.

by Haypo (http://freshmeat.net/users/haypo/)
Sun, Oct 29th 2006 20:21
Software Development :: Disassemblers
Utilities
About: Hachoir is a Python library used to represent a binary file as a
tree of Python objects. Each object has a type, a value, an address, etc.
The goal is to be able to know the meaning of each bit in a file. Hachoir
is able to open invalid or truncated files. It only reads or computes data
on demand to minimize load times. Many field types are predefined (integer,
bit, string, etc.) and strings with a given character set (such as
ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8) are supported. Addresses and sizes are stored in
bits.
Changes: This release supports file editing, so it's possible to change
field values and add and remove fields. hachoir-strip is a example of use:
this program removes metadata, video indexes, padding, etc. to create
anonymous and smaller files. Hachoir can also open corrupted or truncated
files; it can continue to parse the field even if minor errors occur. The
project has been split into many components: hachoir (core),
hachoir-parser (40 file format parsers), hachoir-metadata (metadata
extractor), hachoir-urwid (file viewer), hachoir-grep (find a substring in
a binary file), and hachoir-wx (GUI).

Software Development :: Libraries
Software Development :: Version Control
About: The LibXDiff library implements basic and yet complete
functionalities to create file differences/patches to both binary and text
files. It uses memory files as file abstraction to achieve both performance
and portability. For binary files, it implements both (with some
modification) the algorithm described in "File System Support for Delta
Compression" by Joshua P. MacDonald and the algorithm described in
"Fingerprinting By Random Polynomials" by Michael O. Rabin. For text
files, it follows directives described in "An O(ND) Difference Algorithm
and Its Variations" by Eugene W. Myers. Memory files used by the library
are basically a collection of buffers that store the file content.

About: libXEL (XEL) is an event log library that stores log data in SQLite
files and is capable of exporting it as XML and CSV. It provides a set of
C/C++ preprocessor (xelm) macros for project integration. The xelm macros
wrap the most common C/C++ macros (e.g. __FILE__) to be posted along with
the event information. It is ideal for, but not limited to, generating log
data for debugging purposes. All of the log information is stored in a
specified SQLite file that can be accessed from many programming
languages. XEL has limited system detection support.
Changes: This release adds bindings (Python and Ruby), full mem/swap
support for *BSD, and integrates the XELView utility as part of the
package. There are other minor tweaks and fixes.

name that accurately converts HTML with images, complex tables (including
rowspan/colspan), layers/divs, and CSS styles to Postscript and PDF.
Unlike most other HTML2PS/HTML2PDF converters, it offers good CSS 2.1
support and is very tolerant to non-valid HTML. It can convert even
CSS-intense sites like aol.com and msn.com.
Changes: Minor bugs were fixed. Minor documentation and FAQ updates were
done. Tables with several colspans in the same row under certain
conditions could cause notice messages, so this has been fixed. Missing
support for the "in" and "pc" CSS units was fixed. Non-valid HTML
containing table sections with omitted TR tags could result in notices or
warnings, and tables were rendered incorrectly, so this has been fixed.

Desktop Environment :: Gnome
Desktop Environment :: Tools
About: Preferences Hide and Seek is a utility that groups together all the
options that actually exist for GNOME preferences, but are usually hard to
find or are just plain hidden from the user. This utility makes it
possible to create a simple data file to expose gconf-based options to the
user. It was created to allow usable access to the hidden application
options buried within gconf.
Changes: A fairly comprehensive compiz configuration page was added. Many
additions were made to the configuration parser.

[067] - rdup 0.3.0
by Miek Gieben (http://freshmeat.net/users/miek/)
Sun, Oct 29th 2006 06:05
System :: Archiving :: Backup
About: rdup is a utility inspired by rsync and the Plan9 way of doing
backups. rdup itself does not backup anything; it only prints a list of
the names of files that have changed since the last backup. It also
handles files that are removed, allowing for correct incremental backups.
Auxilary scripts are needed to act on this list and implement the backup
strategy. This way rdup can be kept lean and mean.
Changes: A hardlink backup scheme was added. All utilities were renamed to
have a "rdup-" prefix. The default output of rdup and the internal filelist
format have changed.

About: rsstool is a tool to read, parse, merge, and write RSS (and Atom)
feeds. It has some other functions built-in like text, HTML, or property
file output, or templates with custom tags to insert RSS feeds into pages
that could be uploaded to a server that supports only static HTML.
Changes: The --input-file=FILE option was added to download the feeds
found in the specified file. The --shtml2 option was added, which is like
--shtml, but keeps links intact. A faq.html document was written, which
should answer most questions about the program.

[072] - SffTools 3.1 (SffToBmp)
by peter (http://freshmeat.net/users/pschaefer/)
Sun, Oct 29th 2006 20:30
Communications :: Fax
About: SffTools consists of SffToBmp, a little utility that converts
Structured Fax Files to BMP, PBM, JPEG, or single- and multipage TIFF
format, and SffView, a GUI viewer for those files. The tools should be
especially useful to people who are faxing with ISDN cards because the
CAPI interface of these cards generates such files. CAPI support for Linux
is available for the active card AVM B1 and the passive card AVM Fritz!.
Changes: SffToBmp has been around for a while, and one should think it has
seen every strange SFF file yet. However, there seem to be a few odd ones
still left. This release adds support for skipping "junk" at the beginning
of the file until it reaches the "SFF" header. It will skip up to 2048
bytes before giving up. Other changes are backported from the Debian
package, and a -quiet switch has been added for those that don't want to
see anything at all on stdout.

Information Management
Office/Business
Office/Business :: Financial
About: SolidState is a Web-based billing and customer management solution
for Web hosting providers. It is written in PHP, uses MySQL, is fully
templated with Smarty templates, and is built on-top of a modular
framework with support for third-party payment gateways and domain

and existing customers to place orders for hosting services and domains,
and a manager interface for administering customers, services, and orders.
Changes: A remote file inclusion vulnerability present in most class files
was fixed. A French translation and a Bosnian translation were added for
the Order interface. A bug that was preventing services that recurred once
a month from showing up on invoices was fixed. A check was added to the
"generate invoice" page to prevent invoices from being generated for
inactive or non-billable accounts. A bug that was preventing order
line-items from being executed on PHP 4 installs was fixed. Other minor
bugs were fixed.

Its features include an efficient and powerful object system based on
CLOS, a simple-to-use module system, implementation of the full tower of
numbers defined in R5RS, and easy connection to the GTK+ toolkit. STklos
is the successor of STk, a Scheme interpreter tightly connected to the Tk
toolkit.
Changes: This is a version with important changes to support
multi-threading. This version provides two kinds of threads: synchronous
LURC threads and asynchronous POSIX threads (a.k.a. pthreads). Other
changes include better error messages, the ability to compile byte-codes
to a C file, new optimizations, more customizable REPL, some new
primitives, and an implementation of SRFI-18 (Multithreading support).
Bugs were fixed.

About: Sysprof is a sampling CPU profiler that uses a Linux kernel module
to profile the entire system, not just a single application. It handles
shared libraries, and applications do not need to be recompiled. It
profiles all running processes, not just a single application, has a nice
graphical interface, shows the time spent in each branch of the call tree,
can load and save profiles, and is easy to use.
Changes: Symbol lookups on debug binaries with a different text offset
than the real binary have been corrected. A race condition on SMP kernels
has been fixed. This release adapts to the changing kernel API.

Sun, Oct 29th 2006 21:31
About: Tera-WURFL is a PHP class that can identify the capabilities of
mobile devices using the standardized Wireless Universal Resource File
(WURFL). This implementation uses the same methods as the stock PHP WURFL
library, but significantly improves performance by storing the WURFL data
in a MySQL database. You can also obtain a thumbnail image of the device
and include your own device definitions in a patch file. It can figure out
if the client visiting your site is a mobile device or a desktop Web
browser. It can also identify a wide variety of capabilities.
