[002] - AFNIX programming language 1.4.0
by Amaury C. Darsch (http://freshmeat.net/users/amaury/)
Mon, Nov 6th 2006 16:25
Software Development :: Interpreters
About: AFNIX is a multi-threaded functional programming language with
dynamic symbol bindings that support the object oriented paradigm. It has
a rich set of features providing runtime compatibility with C++. The
engine runs on both 32- and 64-bit platforms, and it is designed to be
portable across platforms.
Changes: This release incorporates a major restructuring to support the
latest Unicode 5.0 standard. The object model has been enhanced with an
instance inference (aka virtual constructor) mechanism. The standard
library has new objects like the property list. A new XML module with a
full 1.0 and 1.1 parser is now natively incorporated. A new concept of
service module is also being deployed starting with the "Web application
management service module" built on top of the xml module. This service
module makes the www module obsolete.

[007] - ATA over Ethernet driver 39 (For Linux 2.6)
by Ed Cashin at Coraid (http://freshmeat.net/users/ecashinCoraid/)
Mon, Nov 6th 2006 13:59
System :: Archiving :: Backup
System :: Archiving :: Mirroring
System :: Operating System Kernels :: Linux
About: This driver allows the Linux kernel to use the ATA over Ethernet
(AoE) network protocol. Using AoE, a Linux system can use AoE block
devices like EtherDrive (R) storage blades. The block devices appear as
local device nodes (e.g. /dev/etherd/e0.0).
Changes: The device list can now be cleaned up by giving the aoe driver a
"flush" command. A bugfix eliminates some "runt packet" error messages. A
greater number of local AoE interfaces is now supported. Unaligned memory
accesses are avoided. The udev rules were updated for compatibility with
current versions of udev.

System
System :: Archiving :: Backup
About: The ATA over Ethernet Tools are intended for use in conjunction
with an ATA over Ethernet (AoE) driver for a Linux 2.6 kernel. They
perform simple tasks like listing available devices, triggering device
discovery, and restricting the network interfaces on which AoE is
performed.
Changes: The new aoe-flush command tells the aoe driver to clean up its
list of devices. Documentation was improved, and the scripts no longer
depend on an external calculator.

Software Development :: Libraries
About: CUPS provides a portable printing layer for Unix(r)-based operating
systems. It has been developed to promote a standard printing solution for
all Unix vendors and users. CUPS provides the System V and Berkeley
command line interfaces, and uses the Internet Printing Protocol ("IPP")
as the basis for managing print jobs and queues. The Line Printer Daemon
(LPD) Server Message Block (SMB), and AppSocket (a.k.a. JetDirect)
protocols are also supported with reduced functionality. CUPS adds network
printer browsing and PostScript Printer Description ("PPD") based printing
options to support real world printing under UNIX. It includes an image
file RIP that supports printing of image files to non-PostScript printers.
A customized version of GNU Ghostscript 7.05 for CUPS called ESP
Ghostscript is available separately to support printing of PostScript
files within the CUPS driver framework. Sample drivers for Dymo, EPSON,
HP, and OKIDATA printers are included that use these filters.

machines (via NFS), including patching, rebuilding, and booting new
kernels, libraries, and services. Configuration and customization can be
done through simple config files and bash scripts. It is suitable for
performing tests of GUI applications, services, libraries, and kernel
patches.
Changes: A new installation system is in place, which should make it
straightforward to getting a basic crucible install up and running
quickly. A lot of documentation has been added. There is a new
post-installation test 'make installcheck'. Directory locations have been
abstracted. Internals have been abstracted and generalized, giving more
flexibility for customization/extension. Several new subcommands have been
added to the 'sut' script for managing system images, adding new machines,
etc. A new queue_plan script has been added for doing easier one-off test
runs. Kernel building is more robust and generalized.

[017] - fio 1.8
by axboe (http://freshmeat.net/users/jinxed/)
Mon, Nov 6th 2006 07:10
System :: Benchmark
System :: Filesystems
About: fio is an I/O tool meant to be used both for benchmark and
stress/hardware verification. It has support for 6 different types of I/O
engines (sync, mmap, libaio, posixaio, SG v3, splice), I/O priorities (for
newer Linux kernels), rate I/O, forked or threaded jobs, and much more. It
can work on block devices as well as files. fio accepts job descriptions
in a simple-to-understand text format. Several example job files are
included. fio displays all sorts of I/O performance information, such as
completion and submission latencies (avg/mean/deviation), bandwidth stats,
CPU, and disk utilization, and more. It supports Linux, FreeBSD, and
OpenSolaris.
Changes: An option for specifying the exact file to be used was added, to
allow sharing of file(s) between threads or processes. IO syncing was
integrated into a normal read/write path. Various IO engine bugs were
fixed. The documentation was greatly improved (including a HOWTO with
detailed parameter information). The command line and job file parsers
were unified for easier scripting. Unaligned IO is supported. A fsx-linux
sample simulation job file was added. A crash with random map for
unaligned file sizes was fixed. Bandwidth info was added to status print.
Build fixes were made for non-Linux platforms. Support for controlling
read and write buffer sizes separately was added.

[019] - fwknop 1.0
by Michael Rash (http://freshmeat.net/users/michaelrash/)
Mon, Nov 6th 2006 04:21
Security
System :: Monitoring
System :: Networking :: Firewalls
About: fwknop implements an authorization scheme that requires only a
single encrypted packet to communicate various pieces of information,
including desired access through a Netfilter policy and/or specific
commands to execute on the target system. The main application of this
program is to protect services such as SSH with an additional layer of
security in order to make the exploitation of vulnerabilities much more
difficult. The authorization server works by passively monitoring
authorization packets via libpcap.
Changes: The OpenSSH-4.3p2 patch was fixed to make sure to include the
spa.h header file. Access hashes accumluating when multiple ports are
requested to be opened by a client were fixed. Validation of the
IPT_AUTO_CHAIN variable was improved so that the from_chain cannot be
identical to the to_chain. A bug in which the MD5 sum for an SPA packet is
not examined for each SOURCE block was fixed. This fixes a problem where an
SPA packet could appear to be replayed if multiple SOURCE blocks are
defined in /etc/fwknop/access.conf. The main SPA access loop was
refactored so that it is clearer how and when SPA clients are granted
access.

Software Development :: Documentation
System
About: The Heirloom Documentation Tools provide troff, nroff, and related
utilities to format manual pages and other documents for output on
terminals and printers. They are portable and enhanced versions of the
respective OpenSolaris utilities, which descend from ditroff and the
historical Unix troff. troff provides advanced typographical features such
as kerning, tracking, and hanging characters. It can access PostScript Type
1, OpenType, and TrueType fonts directly. Internationalized hyphenation,
international paper sizes, and UTF-8 input are supported.
Changes: Paragraph-at-once adjustment using a variant of the Knuth-Plass
algorithm is now available. Multiple requests and one escape sequence have
been introduced to support it. The ".char" request can now construct
replacements for arbitrary Unicode characters. Fractional point sizes can
now be used with "eqn". Several bugs have also been fixed.

Scientific/Engineering
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
System :: Clustering/Distributed Networks
About: JPPF is a computational grid framework for Java focused on
performance and ease of use. It provides a set of tools and APIs to enable
the parallelization of CPU intensive applications, and distribute their
execution over a network of heterogenous nodes. It features platform
independence thanks to Java 1.5, does not require you to deploy your
application classes to a server, scales up to millions of nodes, has a
built-in fail-over mechanism on all the framework's components, and has a
monitoring and administration GUI tool to enable remote monitoring of the
server health and server shutdown/restart operations.
Changes: An issue was fixed in the adaptive scheduling algorithm, which
caused the tasks to be executed by only one node at a time. The
performance of the scheduling algorithm was improved, resulting in a
smaller execution overhead. Minor localization issues were fixed in the
administration tool.

being generated properly due to a hardcoded MySQL password; replication
slave privileges didn't always work due to the hostname not being used in
the grant sentence. Takeover has been changed to remove the mysql-ha.pid
file, so the rc script now works properly in all scenarios. Handling of
MYSQLHA_HOME has been improved.

[063] - Seed7 2006-11-06
by Thomas Mertes (http://freshmeat.net/users/thomas_mertes/)
Mon, Nov 6th 2006 14:03
Software Development :: Compilers
Software Development :: Interpreters
About: Seed7 is a general purpose programming language. It is a higher
level language compared to Ada, C++, and Java. In Seed7, new statements
and operators can be declared easily. Functions with type results and type
parameters are more elegant than a template or generics concept. Object
orientation is used when it brings advantages and not in places when other
solutions are more obvious. Although Seed7 contains several concepts of
other programming languages, it is generally not considered as a direct
descendant of any other programming language.
Changes: The hi interpreter was improved to support bigInteger literals.
Changes have been made to allow a configurable bigdigit size (Bigdigits
are the building elements of a bigInteger). The mdiv function was added to
the bigInteger library and the chkbig.sd7 program. The chkbig.sd7 program
was changed to use bigInteger literals. Several bigInteger functions have
been improved. A bigrat.s7i include file to support bigRational numbers
has been added. The compiler support for bigInteger, setBaselit, and
strTrim has been improved.

[064] - Simple Config 1.0.0
by Jeffrey Dutky (http://freshmeat.net/users/dutky/)
Mon, Nov 6th 2006 06:08
Software Development :: Libraries
About: The Simple Config library supports configuration files consisting
of simple name-value pairs, similar to the old Windows INI files. A config
file can be loaded into memory, queried by item name, modified, and written
back out to a file. Configuration items may also be "watched", which causes
a user-supplied callback function to be called with the named item is
modified.

[065] - Simple XML Framework 0.9.5
by Niall Gallagher (http://freshmeat.net/users/niallg/)
Mon, Nov 6th 2006 14:02
Text Processing :: Markup :: XML
About: Simple is an XML serialization framework for Java. Its goal is to
provide an XML framework that enables rapid development of XML
configuration and communication systems. This framework aids the
development of XML systems with minimal effort and reduced errors. The
framework borrows ideas and concepts from existing XML tools such as C#
XML serialization and other proprietary frameworks, and combines those
ideas resulting in a simple yet extremely powerful tool for using and
manipulating XML.
Changes: Changes were made to enable dynamic XML templating variables.
Persister callbacks have been implemented, which allows deserialized XML
to be validated and processed. Custom strategies are now possible, which
enables serialized XML to be customized.

Mon, Nov 6th 2006 04:46
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
About: SOJO is a Java framework that converts JavaBeans (complex
Java-Object graphs) to a simplified representation, so that handling
access to JavaBeans properties is easy and uniform. The framework is meant
to compliment POJOs in cases where object orientation is not supported or
is not the best decision.
Changes: The main features of this release are support for the data
interchange format JSON and XML-RPC. Minor bugs were fixed.

[067] - SRESI 0.14.4
by Priscus (http://freshmeat.net/users/priscus/)
Mon, Nov 6th 2006 14:03
Information Management :: Metadata/Semantic Models
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Browsers
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Indexing/Search
About: SRESI is a smart bookmark manager. It currently sports both a
command-line and a PHP interface. It works with both the standard
hierarchical trees and the new and fashionable tagged bookmarks. It was
developed as a way to interface both representation systems. SRESI can use
Del.icio.us, Mozilla, Opera, and XBEL bookmarks, and handles a few more
exports besides. Directories and tags are used equivalently, and the final
hierarchies are inferred from actual tag use.
Changes: The URL normalisation function was rewritten and cleaned up: it
can now handle local files. An old bug in XBEL export was fixed.

Software Development :: Compilers
Software Development :: Debuggers
About: Ultimate++ is a cross-platform C++ rapid application development
suite. It includes set of libraries (for things like GUI and SQL) and an
integrated development environment. Rapid development is achieved by smart
and aggressive use of C++ rather than through fancy code generators. In
this respect, U++ competes with popular scripting languages while
preserving C/C++ runtime characteristics. Its integrated development
environment, TheIDE, introduces modular conception to C++ programming, and
can be used to develop non-U++ applications.

[077] - YAPHPO 1.0
by Narcissus (http://freshmeat.net/users/narcissus/)
Mon, Nov 6th 2006 10:46
Software Development
About: YAPHPO (Yet Another PHP Obfuscator) is a PHP obfuscator with a
number of new, compelling features. Some of these include obfuscation of
constants and a wildcard include / exclude function to selectively
obfuscate certain variables, constants, classes, functions and / or files
(each type of item has its own list). It also does step-by-step
obfuscation whereby each step is stored in a separate directory to help
visually ensure that the obfuscation process was correct.
Changes: This release fixes issues with earlier versions of PHP as well as
incorrect documentation. It also adds a number of command line options for
source and target directories and switches to determine what things to
obfuscate exactly (allowing automation of the release).
