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.

by Martin Bickel (http://freshmeat.net/users/martinbickel/)
Sat, Nov 4th 2006 15:10
Games/Entertainment :: Turn Based Strategy
About: ASC is a turn-based strategy game in the tradition of Battle Isle
2/3. It can be played against the computer or against other human players
(either hotseat or by mail).
Changes: Apart from a movemalus reduction of wreckage objects, all other
changes are fixing minor bugs or increasing the robustness of ASC.

by Dennis Darland (http://freshmeat.net/users/djdarland/)
Sat, Nov 4th 2006 15:15
Scientific/Engineering :: Mathematics
Software Development :: Libraries
About: APFP (Arbitrary Precision Floating Point) is an Unicon class for
performing arbitrary precision floating point calculations. It also
includes a class for calculating with arbitrary precision complex numbers.
It requires unicon overloaded operators.
Changes: The ureal class was added. This can be used when Digits is less
than 15. You must $define UREAL. This still tracks accumulated error, but
is much faster.

[003] - archivemail 0.7.0
by sondermann (http://freshmeat.net/users/sondermann/)
Sat, Nov 4th 2006 21:37
Communications :: Email
Communications :: Email :: Filters
System :: Archiving
About: archivemail is a tool written in Python for archiving and
compressing old email in mailboxes. It can move messages older than the
specified number of days to a separate mbox-format mailbox that is
compressed with gzip, or optionally just delete old email. It supports
archiving IMAP, mbox, MH, and maildir format mailboxes.
Changes: Unsafe creation of temporary files in the test suite was fixed. A
dotlocking race condition was fixed. IMAP was broken in version 0.6.2 and
is now working again. stats now report the total size of a mailbox and of
the archived messages therefrom. archivemail now writes valid mbox(5)
archives. archivemail finally converts on-the-wire CRLF to native EOL when
saving messages from an IMAP folder. IMAP --delete and IMAP --size, which
never worked at all, were fixed. IMAP --dry-run was fixed so that it
doesn't download all messages that would be archived.

[004] - Arena Scripting Language 0.9.9
by Pascal Schmidt (http://freshmeat.net/users/cobol/)
Sat, Nov 4th 2006 21:18
Software Development :: Interpreters
About: Arena is a light-weight scripting language that features a C-like
syntax and library, automatic memory management, and runtime polymorphism.
Changes: This release fixes a few minor bugs and improves some areas of
the standard library. The parser was improved to allow hexadecimal integer
literals in a script.

[005] - Arg_parser 0.2
by Antonio Diaz Diaz (http://freshmeat.net/users/ant_diaz/)
Sat, Nov 4th 2006 21:28
Software Development :: User Interfaces
About: Arg_parser is an argument parser that follows POSIX and GNU
conventions for command line arguments. It is implemented as a C++ class,
and is simpler, easier to use, and safer that "getopt_long". Arg_parser
does not modify its arguments, nor uses any global variables. So you may
create more than one parser in your program if you need or want to.
Arg_parser can also parse options from configuration files. To use
Arg_parser in your own programs simply copy the files "arg_parser.h" and
"arg_parser.cc" in your sorce tree. See also the file "main.cc" for an
example of use.
Changes: The "configure" script and the Makefile have been made more
GNU-standards compliant.

Security
System :: Logging
System :: Monitoring
About: arpalert uses ARP address monitoring to help prevent unauthorized
connections on the local network. If an illegal connection is detected, a
program or script is launched, which could be used to send an alert
message, for example.
Changes: A problem where zombie processes were created was fixed.

[009] - BusyBox 1.2.2
by Michael Opdenacker (http://freshmeat.net/users/michaelo/)
Sat, Nov 4th 2006 15:07
Software Development :: Embedded Systems
System :: Boot :: Init
About: BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a
single small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for most of
the utilities you usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. The
utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than their full-featured
GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide the expected
functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts. BusyBox
provides a fairly complete POSIX environment for any small or embedded
system.
Changes: This release ships with many bugfixes and small improvements to
several Busybox applets.

[010] - Cibyl 5
by Simon Kagstrom (http://freshmeat.net/users/sys2066/)
Sat, Nov 4th 2006 01:58
Software Development :: Code Generators
Software Development :: Compilers
Software Development :: Libraries
About: Cibyl is a programming environment that allows compiled C programs
to execute on J2ME-capable phones. Cibyl uses GCC to compile the C
programs to MIPS binaries, and these are then recompiled into Java
bytecode. The programs are not parsed during runtime, and Cibyl is
therefore relatively well-performing. With Cibyl, games written in C can
be ported to J2ME without switching language.
Changes: A number of incorrectly generated instructions were fixed.
Several issues that caused problems with GCC 4.0 were corrected.
Optimizations can now be controlled with command-line options. Some code
restructuring was undertaken.

Sat, Nov 4th 2006 14:49
Communications :: Email :: Filters
Security
About: ClamCour is a multi-threaded filter for the Courier MTA that that
scans for viruses using the Clam Antivirus package.
Changes: GZip compression was added for the quarantine feature. Some code
was not included correctly, according to BZip2/GZ library presence. The
quarantine file name is composed differently so it can be sorted easily.

[012] - deep 0.8
by Richard Harris (http://freshmeat.net/users/r_e_h/)
Sat, Nov 4th 2006 15:01
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
About: Deep is a content management system that serves HTML, preformatted
text, Deep shorthand content, or the output of a Lua script using standard
HTML templates and CSS. There is no database, only flat files anyone can
produce. There are hooks provided to sell this content either by single
page or multi-page set through PayPal. You can use Deep to publish others
through PayPal, diverting a percentage of the payments to the publisher
and allowing the rest to go directly to the author. The server makes these
percentages public in order to promote fairness. Deep is also a dynamic
blog server, using simple uploaded text files for entries and generating
all indices on the fly. It requires only a cgi-bin directory on a POSIX
server.
Changes: Deep is now a blog server too. It handles multiple blogs of
simple text-file entries, generating all indices on the fly. Blog owners
can publish any other Deep content out of their blog directories.

[013] - DRBL 1.7.6-22 (Stable)
by Steven (http://freshmeat.net/users/stevenshiau/)
Sat, Nov 4th 2006 01:56
About: Diskless Remote Boot in Linux (DRBL) provides a diskless or
systemless environment for client machines. It works on Debian, Mandriva,
Red Hat, Fedora, and SuSE. Unlike LTSP, it uses distributed hardware
resources and makes it possible for clients to fully access local
hardware. It also includes Clonezilla, a partitioning and disk cloning
utility similar to Symantec Ghost.
Changes: New features and modifications from the last stable version
include support for Ubuntu Edgy (6.10), Mandriva 2007, CentOS 4.4, Fedora
Core 6, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. A new
/opt/drbl/sbin/drblsrv-offline command provides installation without an
Internet connection. A graphical background is now used by default in the
PXE boot menu. A directory in the server can be shared to clients by
setting it in /opt/drbl/conf/drbl.conf. Some other features were added and
some bugs were fixed.

was adjusted by comparing the sounds achievable with it to those heard on
classic acid house tracks. It includes a switchable square/saw wave VCO,
24dB/octave VCF, an adjustable decay time for the VCF, a fixed decay time
for the VCA, and an interesting bit of circuitry around the "Accent"
control.
Changes: The plugin now supports MIDI continuous controllers for adjusting
the knobs. The values used are documented in the README file. At the moment
the only way to change them is by editing the relevant bits of code.

[032] - nmr-relax 1.2.8
by Edward d'Auvergne (http://freshmeat.net/users/dauvergne/)
Sat, Nov 4th 2006 14:49
Scientific/Engineering
About: relax is a program designed for the study of the dynamics of
proteins or other macromolecules though the analysis of NMR relaxation
data. It supports exponential curve fitting for the calculation of the R1
and R2 relaxation rates, calculation of the NOE, reduced spectral density
mapping, and the Lipari and Szabo model-free analysis.
Changes: Preliminary support for RNA/DNA relaxation data and Grace
compatibility for reduced spectral density mapping were added. This
release fixes the failures of model selection between global diffusion
models when using the local tm models, model elimination when the model
"m0" is used, and the reading of model-free results files from version
1.2.4 and earlier.

[037] - Sdictionary 1.7.9 (Symbian)
by Alexey Semenoff (http://freshmeat.net/users/swajj/)
Sat, Nov 4th 2006 14:57
About: Sdictionary is a dictionary that uses its own dictionary format.
Unlike ptkdic or gtkdic, MySQL isn't needed; you can work with dictionary
files directly. It uses Unicode, meaning that words and articles all are
in UTF-8. There are two index levels, compression, and tools to convert
from text files to .dct and vice versa. A Perl/Tk version, libsdict, a C
library framework, and a Symbian version are available.
Changes: Fixes were made for dictionary navigation. Article auto-open
cleanups were done. A Greek Unicode mapping was added; it uses the CP1253
charset and you have to use a CP1253 font instead of CP1251, and CP1253 is
expected from the keyboard. A WINS version was added to the distribution.

the uptime of each server in the network, a list of channels, including
their topic (except for secret (+s) and private (+p) channels), and the
number of users in the network. You can normally get these statistics via
/stats u, /list, and /lusers (if /stats u is supported on the network and
enabled for normal users).
