  Mon, Nov 20th 2006 10:56

Software Development :: Embedded Systems

About: amforth is a distribution of Forth running on the AVR ATmega
microcontroller. Once put into flash, it needs only a serial connection to
the host computer. New words are compiled directly into flash, thus
extending the dictionary immediately. It is ans94 Forth oriented with some
minor  exclusions and a few words from the extension word sets. It is
written in assembly language and Forth itself. The main development uses
ATmega8 and ATmega32 controllers; other ATmega controllers should work
with small adjustments.

Changes: There are a few usability enhancements in accept (backspace and
TAB are now working as expected), some minor bugfixes, and a new word that
busy waits 1 millisecond (1ms).

  Mon, Nov 20th 2006 21:30

Software Development :: Libraries
Text Processing :: General

About: edival is a simple EDI file parser and validator. Current
functionality is limited to ANSI X12 formatted data. The main target of
development is for HIPAA insurance transactions (USA), but any X12 EDI
transaction set should currently apply.

Changes: This release contains an API enhancement that allows application
programs to receive pre-converted numeric values in the form of a new
EDI_DataElement structure. The structure also notifies of the element's
type so that the application does not have to worry about consulting the
schema once it is loaded. Interchange/Batch standards for X12 data are now
rules-based. The standards that were hard-coded several versions ago in the
x12 Parser module have been removed. The code was cleaned up throughout the
library.

reload in a table cell or div tag instead of the whole page. Also included
are the icon tag, the alternate tag (for alternating content on the page,
such as the background color of table rows or an ad rotator), laying
calendar events in a table, and more.

Changes: This version is the stable release of 3.1.10-beta. It features
easier (or at least alternative) customization of node images and an
ITreeDao interface which makes it much easier to build trees dynamically
(lazily).

floppy controller under Linux, and to access the floppy driver under
Windows. Java (JNI) bindings are included.  

Changes: The driver for CPCEMU disk images has been changed so that it
more accurately reflects the behaviour of a real disk. The NTWDM driver's
handling of tracks with more than one sector size has been improved.

[030] - man 1.6e 
  by Federico Lucifredi (http://freshmeat.net/users/lucifred/)
  Mon, Nov 20th 2006 16:31

Documentation

About: The man page suite, including man, apropos, and whatis consists of
programs that are used to read most of the documentation available on a
Linux system. The whatis and apropos programs can be used to find
documentation related to a particular subject.

Changes: Sections used by makewhatis are set via the environment variable
MANSECT, falling back to man.conf's MANSECT setting as man does. The use
of implicit prototypes has been removed; it leads to issues on 64-bit
platforms. Building will now honor pre-existing LDFLAGS, if set. The
Italian and Spanish man pages have been updated. A minor bug in
makewhatis' tempdir generation has been fixed. There is experimental
support for Plan 9 rc shell lists. This release has overdue LSM v4 format
compliance, as well as minor corrections and cleanup.

  Mon, Nov 20th 2006 07:00

Database
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management
Scientific/Engineering

About: Moodss is a modular monitoring application, which supports
operating systems (Linux, UNIX, Windows, etc.), databases (MySQL, Oracle,
PostgreSQL, DB2, ODBC, etc.), networking (SNMP, Apache, etc.), and any
device or process for which a module can be developed (in Tcl, Python,
Perl, Java, and C). An intuitive GUI with full drag'n'drop support allows
the construction of dashboards with graphs, pie charts, etc., while the
thresholds functionality includes emails and user defined scripts.
Monitored data can be archived in an SQL database by both the GUI and the
companion daemon, so that complete history over time can be made available
from Web pages or common spreadsheet software. It can even be used for
future behavior prediction or capacity planning, from the included
predictor tool, based on powerful statistical methods and artificial
neural networks.

Changes: The ability to edit thresholds per page was added in order to
easily manage large quantities of thresholds. The email library was
patched to ensure that messages' data sections are properly terminated.
The usual minor improvements and bugfixes were also made.

System :: Monitoring
System :: Networking :: Monitoring
System :: Systems Administration

About: NetXMS is a monitoring system with a modular architecture. It can
be used for monitoring an entire IT infrastructure, starting with
SNMP-capable hardware (like switches and routers) and ending with
applications on servers. The system has a three-tier architecture; the
information is collected by monitoring agents (either its own agents or
SNMP agents) and delivered to the monitoring server for processing and
storing, where it can be accessed by using the management console. It
features centralized configuration and centralized agent upgrades. 

Changes: The alarm system was changed, so now the state can be new,
acknowledged, or terminated. Helpdesk status was added. DCI values can now
be pushed to the server instead of pulled on a schedule. Thresholds support
was dramatically improved, so states are saved across server restart, and
new thresholds like "data collection error" were added. Active network
discovery was implemented. Configuration was simplified. The server was
ported to AIX and HP-UX. The agent for HP-UX is now ready for production
use.

for event management and notifications. 

Changes: This release contains a fix for a database problem that, on large
systems, could cause OpenNMS to be unable to access the database. In
addition, some enhancements to KSC reports and the General Purpose monitor
have been made.

  Mon, Nov 20th 2006 07:08

System :: Operating System Kernels :: Linux

About: OpenVZ is a modified Linux kernel with additional support for
OpenVZ Virtual Environments (VE, also known as VPS). VEs are isolated,
secure environments on a single physical server, enabling better server
utilization and ensuring that applications do not conflict. Each VE

rebooted independently and have root access, users, IP addresses, memory,
processes, files, applications, system libraries, and configuration files.
Due to a single kernel model, OpenVZ has native performance and very high
density. It is the core of Virtuozzo.

Changes: FUSE support was added for Virtual Environments. Critical
scheduler bugs were fixed. Miscellaneous bug and compilation fixes were
made. The code was cleaned up.

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 rand function and the +:= and -:= operators were added to the
bigInteger library. The checks for bigInteger addition and subtraction in
chkbig.sd7 were improved, and checks for the +:= and -:= operators were
added. Compiler support for bigInteger was improved. The documentation

[053] - SpoonRPC 0.1 
  by Matt Sullivan (http://freshmeat.net/users/matts53/)
  Mon, Nov 20th 2006 13:56

Software Development :: Libraries :: Python Modules
Software Development :: Object Brokering

About: SpoonRPC is a library providing a distributed message passing
system in Python. It attempts to be as simple to use as possible with
little boilerplate code. It provides safe, efficient object serialization
(not using pickle) and message routing. RPC is not (currently)
implemented, despite the name.

Changes: In this initial version, sending, receiving and routing messages
are all working. There are still unit tests to be written, documentation
needed, and several important features planned.

[054] - STclass 4.0rc7 
  by D. Deveaux (http://freshmeat.net/users/deveaux/)
  Mon, Nov 20th 2006 21:48

Software Development
Software Development :: Quality Assurance
Software Development :: Testing

About: STclass is a unit testing framework comparable to JUnit and its
clones, but based on runtime evaluable contracts as defined by B. Meyer in
the Design by Contract approach. It implements runtime evaluable contracts
and contract based class level unit testing; inheritance of contracts and
tests is handled. The framework generates reports in XML, and
postprocessing tools produce nice HTML reports; using the JIP profiler, a
statisitic and profiling analysis can be made during the test, and its
resuts are added to the HTML report. 

Changes: Several bugs were fixed. Change option management is now based on
property files. Good integration with Ant was achieved. IDEs including
NetBeans and Eclipse are now supported. A new 'code_cover' command that
makes coverage tests with EMMA was added.

[057] - The Sleep Scripting Project 2.1-b10 
  by Raphael Mudge (http://freshmeat.net/users/rsmudge/)
  Mon, Nov 20th 2006 21:28

Software Development :: Interpreters
Software Development :: Libraries

About: Sleep is an embeddable scripting solution for Java applications. It
is heavily inspired by Perl with bits of Objective-C thrown in. Features
include function closures as first-class types, a unified I/O interface
for sockets/processes/files, and the ability to instantiate/query Java
objects. The Sleep Java API allows the language to be extended with new
constructs, operators, functions, and variable containers.

Changes: I/O print and read operations are now Unicode friendly. \x and \u
escapes were added for specifying character literals. Assignment operations
(i.e. +=, *=, |=, etc.) were added. A bug that prevented the reporting of
out of context bareword tokens as errors was fixed.

Software Development
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.
