  Thu, Nov 30th 2006 05:30

Printing

About: abcm2ps is a package that converts music tunes from ABC format to
PostScript. Based on abc2ps version 1.2.5, it was developed mainly to
print baroque organ scores that have independant voices played on one or
more keyboards, and a pedal-board. It introduces many extensions to the
ABC language that make it suitable for classical music. 

Changes: This release makes the PostScript output compatible with the RoPS
interpreter. Several layout improvements were made.

Software Development :: Compilers

About: Axiomatic Multi-Platform C (AMPC) is a C to Java class file
compiler suite for the development of platform independent applications.
AMPC can also be used to integrate C and Java programs since AMPC's C
functions can directly call numerous Java methods and vice versa. AMPC
supports a very large subset of ANSI C (1989). It can be used to develop
new applications using C as well as port existing applications written in
C to run on JVM enabled devices. A JNI (JVM Native Interface) feature is
available for calling native C or C++ functions. The asm() directive can
be used to embed Jasmin assembly code within C source code. Support for
the SWT (Standard Widget Toolkit) based graphics API is available. J2ME
CDC 1.1 for mobile devices is also supported.

Changes: Several bugs were fixed in the "string.h" portion of the C
standard library.

[006] - bluebery 1.0.0.2 
  by Stephan Hesse (http://freshmeat.net/users/shesse/)
  Thu, Nov 30th 2006 23:57



About: bluebery is an easy-to-use SQL/PHP based content manager that
provides PHP libraries and methods to use in your site's pages. These
methods can be used to easily access and print desired items or an
iteration of items that are stored through the bluebery Web UI. It
includes a library framework for PHP-based Web applications and pages.
bluebery can be set up very quickly, needs almost no configuration, and
makes writing dynamic peer-based pages very easy. 

Changes: A major bug was fixed in many bluebery files (caused by
whitespaces behind the license g*). This prevented the previous release
from running with authentication. It was the cause of error messages which
stated "headers already sent by...". The doProtection function was added to
the library, which performs an include verification and prints out a
message in case the file is not included by the authorization file.

statistics on N-grams (useful for finding statistically significant
syntactical differences between any two sets of tagged texts), and various
examination-tools. The tools themselves are well documented.

Changes: Compression was made the default for NgramPermutator and the
PermutationStatter, and it was removed as an option. A bug was fixed in
the compression of NgramPermutator that prevented the creation of data
since version 1.1.2.

  by Adam Charrett (http://freshmeat.net/users/charrea6/)
  Thu, Nov 30th 2006 05:36

Multimedia
Multimedia :: Video
Multimedia :: Video :: Capture

About: DVBStreamer is a console application for streaming an entire DVB
service over UDP. It differs from other DVB streaming applications by the
use of the DVB-SI to work out the PIDs to stream and correctly streams
services that use a separate PCR PID.

Changes: This release has focused on stability over features. As a result,
there are just two new commands. The scan command allows a multiplex to be
checked for changes to the services and PIDs, and the setsfavsonly command
enables streaming of only audio, video, and subtitles (this also rewrites
the PMT to only include these elements). A memory leak in the service
cache, a 2GB file limit on file output, a service deletion bug in service
cache, and lots of other bugs were fixed.

Changes: Design simplification by merging the two binaries 'enter' and
'enter_greeter' into just 'enter'. The GUI has been improved to display a
error message when a login fails. A display bug when 'enter.visible' isn't
'both' has been fixed.

About: KOffice is an integrated office suite based on the KDE libraries.
KOffice currently includes KWord, KSpread, KPresenter, KChart, Karbon14,
Krita, Kexi, KFormula, Kugar, and Kivio. There are no special mail and
news clients included in KOffice, because there are KMail and KNode
available for KDE anyway. All KOffice components work together, and you
can embed every KOffice component into any other KOffice component. This
is realized using the KParts object model. 

Changes: Since this is a maintenance release, only two of the components,
Krita and Kexi, have new features. Krita, the image editing application of
KOffice, has gotten a new Color Level filter. The new features in Kexi, the
desktop database application competing with MS Access, include parameter
queries and a new combo box that takes advantage of the database
relationships.

and was designed by log4j's founder, Ceki Gulcu. The basic architecture is
sufficiently generic so as to apply under different circumstances. It is
divided into three modules. The Core module lays the groundwork for the
other two modules, whereas the Classic module can be assimilated to an
improved version of log4j. It natively implements the SLF4J API so that
you can readily switch back and forth between logback and other logging
systems, such as log4j or JDK14 Logging. The Access module integrates with
Servlet containers to provide HTTP access log functionality. You can easily
build your own modules on top of the Core module. 

Changes: Logback classic supports automatic configuration, allowing test
and production environment configuration. TurboFilters make their first
appearance in logback. They provide ultra-fast filtering possibilities. In
logback access, new Appenders are available. Logback access supports
filtering and event evaluations. The documentation has been improved. A
complete new chapter has been added about Appenders, the short
introduction to logback classic has been updated, and a new module,
containing many configuration examples has been added.

  Thu, Nov 30th 2006 09:18

Communications :: Email
Communications :: Email :: Email Clients (MUA)
Communications :: Email :: Post-Office :: IMAP

About: OfflineIMAP is a tool to simplify email reading. It allows you to
read the same mailbox from multiple computers and ensures that your
changes will be automatically reflected on all computers. You can use
various mail clients to read a single box or read mail while offline with
full synchronization when you reconnect. You can read IMAP mail with
readers that lack IMAP support (same goes for SSL). OfflineIMAP's
multithreaded synchronization algorithm performs between 10 and 60 times
faster than many mail readers' internal IMAP support, and it can be used
even with mail readers that support IMAP already. There are five available
user interface modules, including scripted execution, an interactive
terminal interface, and GUI interfaces. 

Changes: This release fixes a problem with INTERNALDATEs caused by some
spam with invalid Date headers.

Office/Business
Office/Business :: Financial :: Accounting
Office/Business :: Groupware

About: Open Blue Lab is a RAD framework (MDA based) that transforms UML
models in Web 2.0 portal applications without writing code. It is
currently being used to develop a full Web ERP from scratch. Portal layout
may be configured through the UI, and Ajax and HTML-based forms are
automatically built from XML widget definitions, which may be generated on
the fly from a UML model that describes your information system. Widgets
are dynamically populated, making them data-aware automatically at run
time with no need to code any database interaction. This framework allows
you to focus on Information System design, with forms and portal
architecture being generated automatically. 

Changes: Automatically generated forms are now of very good quality.
Specifying a few pieces of meta-information on UML models permits you to
order fields and parts (agregation or composition) to get interesting and
beautiful forms.

[038] - Rebound 0.9.14 
  by Joshua Gerth (http://freshmeat.net/users/hrakaroo/)
  Thu, Nov 30th 2006 23:57

Games/Entertainment :: Puzzle Games

About: Rebound is a reimplementation of the game called Diamonds which
existed for the Macintosh in the early 90s. It is a cross between a puzzle
and an action game. The game play requires the player to use the ball on
the screen to hit bricks and destroy them. However, rather than hitting
the ball with a paddle like breakout, the player controls the left and
right movement of the ball with the arrow keys. The ball still bounces up
and down on its own, but there is no bottom to fall off of. 

Changes: Rebound now has 14 playable levels. A Win32 binary for this
release is available. Users are encouraged to edit the data/levels.ldf
file to add new levels. The syntax is described in the levels.txt file
which is located the same directory. This makes it very easy to add new
levels.

SSLeay libraries. It calls the underlying crypto libraries, so stunnel
supports whatever cryptographic algorithms you compiled into your crypto
package.

Changes: The new transfer() function has been well tested. Users of any
previous version are encouraged to upgrade to this one. Support for
encrypted passphases (broken in 4.19) was fixed. The amount of debug
logging was reduced. A minor man page update was made.

some render problems in HTML tables have been corrected. Swing table
headers that contain other components (like buttons, combo boxes, etc.)
are resizeable by default, and Swing table column sizes are determined by
the size settings of the components placed in the header.

Security :: Cryptography

About: Z1 SecureMail Messenger is a Web messaging application that enables
a confidential (encrypted) exchange of messages if an external user has
neither a valid X.509 certificate nor a valid PGP key. Z1 SecureMail
Messenger creates for the recipient a secure Web mailbox and a pair of RSA
keys. Then, encrypted email messages are saved there. The external
recipient can view the email messages and download them using a Web
browser. This is comparable to using a Web mailer interface. A transfer of
data in accordance to the security policy is guaranteed, because the Web
browser accesses the Z1 SecureMail Messenger using encryption (HTTPS). The
external recipient can also reply and send new messages and attachments.

About: Zile is a small, fast, and powerful Emacs clone. It is useful for
small footprint installations (e.g. on floppy disk) or quick editing
sessions.

Changes: A couple of bugs introduced in 2.2.23 were fixed. Namely, the
bugs that prevented the skip-splash-screen and auto-fill-mode settings in
zile from working were fixed.
