[002] - BrowserLauncher2 1.0
by Jeff (http://freshmeat.net/users/jchapman/)
Thu, Feb 1st 2007 10:40
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Browsers
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
About: BrowserLauncher2 is a library that facilitates opening a browser
from a Java application and directing the browser to a supplied URL. In
most cases, the browser opened will be the user's default browser.
Changes: With this release, users no longer have to set up their own
thread when launching a browser. The threading has been pushed into the
library. Other changes include improved browser detection for windows, an
option to force a new window, the addition of more browsers to Linux and
Windows lists, and the ability to set a default browser via a system
property.

Thu, Feb 1st 2007 10:36
Communications :: Email :: Filters
Security
Utilities
About: Clam AntiVirus is an anti-virus toolkit for Unix. The main purpose
of this software is the integration with mail servers (attachment
scanning). The package provides a flexible and scalable multi-threaded
daemon, a commandline scanner, and a tool for automatic updating via
Internet. The programs are based on a shared library distributed with the
Clam AntiVirus package, which you can use in your own software.
Changes: The 0.9x series introduces many improvements in terms of
detection rate and performance, like support for many new packers and
decryptors, RAR3 and SIS archives, and a new phishing signature format
that proves to be very effective. To cope with the increasing size of the
database and with the high frequency of new CVD releases, freshclam now
supports scripted updates. The new experimental code can be tested by
using "./configure --enable-experimental" at compile time. Email decoding
has been improved to reduce both the memory requirements and the time
taken to process attachments.

Thu, Feb 1st 2007 10:41
Communications :: Email :: Filters
About: Distributed Checksum Clearinghouse (DCC) is a system of clients and
servers that collect and count checksums related to mail messages. The
counts can be used by SMTP servers and mail user agents to detect and
reject bulk mail. DCC servers can exchange common checksums. The checksums
include values that are "fuzzy", or constant across common variations in
bulk messages.
Changes: A MIME decoding bug has been fixed that broke checksums for some
now common spam and reduced the DCC hit rate. This release checks DNS NS
RRs in DNSBLs for more hits and much better speed.

the "display" program takes.
Changes: This release fixes a vast memory leak in the partial JPEG DCT
scaling code path.

stress-tested, so it should be more stable. New features include support
for named and unnamed pipes, the full POSIX file I/O interface, a
write-after-read optimization similar to splicing, a method for catching
HTTP GET requests, and self-resizing (based on load) ring buffer designs.

[033] - Visopsys 0.66
by Andy McLaughlin (http://freshmeat.net/users/andymcl/)
Thu, Feb 1st 2007 05:53
System :: Operating System Kernels
About: Visopsys is an alternative operating system for PC compatible
computers. Under development since late 1997, this system is small, fast,
and open source. It features a simple but functional graphical interface,
real preemptive multitasking, and virtual memory. Though it attempts to be
compatible in a number of ways, Visopsys is not a clone of any other
operating system. You can demo the distribution from a "live" CD or floppy
disk.
Changes: This is a maintenance release, featuring the ability to resize
Windows Vista partitions, more reliable loading on various systems, better
exception handling, color text in graphics mode, improvements to the C
library, and a number of bugfixes.

Documentation
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Graphics Conversion
About: vsdump is a set of tools that are useful for reverse engineering
the VSD/VSS file format used by Visio.
Changes: This release adds support for GetVal() and GetRef(); most names
are recognized for GetVal() and GetRef() now. Support has been added for
chunks 0x10 (Data1), 0x11 (Data2), 0x12 (Data3), 0x4b (Shape
Type='Guide'), and 0x9f ('Align'). Support for 0x70 names is improved.
AlignTop/Bottom/etc. names have been added (were UNKNOWN23 .. UNKNOWN28).
This release recognizes _MARKER() and another version of OR(). A bug with
copying strings in formulas has been fixed. The '&' operation has been
found. Issues with chunks 0x1f, 0x6a, 0x6b, and 0x70 trailers have been
fixed.

[035] - WP Clipart 2.5
by Paul Sherman (http://freshmeat.net/users/psherma1/)
Thu, Feb 1st 2007 06:31
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Presentation
Text Processing :: General
About: WP Clipart is an attempt to make a useful clipart package of public
domain images for use in word processors. It includes an optional
cross-platform viewer/editor written with Python/wxWidgets. The collectoin
contains non-transparent PNG images, scaled down images, midtones expanded
for inkjet print quality, etc. It is suitable for documents as well as Web
graphics, but also has business application (credit cards, promo graphics)
and educational uses (pictures of all US presidents, all country flags
alphabetically listed, all US states, historical figures, and a sign
language alphabet).
Changes: The clipart collection is now at over 16,000 images. A bug in the
Windows version where startup could fail if no program was associated with
PNG images was fixed. The BZ2 compressed package contains the source code
of the viewer/editor as well as the complete clipart collection for use
with Linux.

[037] - x11vnc 0.8.4
by Karl Runge (http://freshmeat.net/users/runge/)
Thu, Feb 1st 2007 11:05
Communications :: Conferencing
Desktop Environment :: Tools
System :: Monitoring
About: x11vnc is a program that allows one to remotely view and interact
with real X displays (i.e. a display corresponding to a physical
monitor, keyboard, and mouse) with any VNC viewer. It is similar to
WinVNC and is designed to be compatible with all Unix variants and
depend on a very small set of standard libraries. It supports a growing
number of command line options, such as -nofb for dual- headed mode with
Win2VNC. It is part of the LibVNCServer project.
Changes: Native Mac OS X Aqua/Quartz support provides an alternative to
OSXvnc (and is faster for some activities). x11vnc can now act as a VNC
reflector to speed up the case of a large number of VNC viewers (a
classroom broadcast or a large demo/presentation). A new login mode,
FINDCREATEDISPLAY, creates a new X session (Xvfb, Xdummy, or Xorg) if it
cannot find a user's existing X session. This Unix username and password
desktop service does not require the user to memorize his VNC display
number. The -nodpms option provides a workaround for KDE's misbehaving
kdesktop_lock screensaver.

[038] - XINS 1.5.1 (Stable)
by Anthony Goubard (http://freshmeat.net/users/agoubard/)
Thu, Feb 1st 2007 07:08
Communications
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Software Development :: Build Tools
About: XINS is a technology used to define, create, and invoke remote
APIs. XINS is specification-oriented. When API specifications are written
(in XML), XINS will transform them to HTML-based documentation and Java
code for both the client-side and the server-side. The communication is
based on HTTP. XINS competes with the complex SOAP technology. Main design
goals include simplicity, scalability, and testability. XINS is not only a
specification technology, but also an application development framework.
It offers transaction logging, unique log documentation, and active code
generation.
Changes: This is a bugfix release. There are no major bugs. Bugfixes were
made to the XINS front-end framework, the generation of the WSDL from the
API, and some of the new target tools.

[039] - XySSL 0.4
by Christophe Devine (http://freshmeat.net/users/devine10/)
Thu, Feb 1st 2007 05:06
Security
Security :: Cryptography
System :: Networking
About: XySSL is a cryptographic library written in C. It currently
features several ciphers (AES, Triple-DES, and ARC4), hash functions
(MD{2,4,5}, SHA-1, and SHA-256), and RSA and X.509 reading support. It
also implements the Secure Sockets Layer version 3 protocol (SSLv3), as
well as the Transport Layer Security version 1 protocol.
Changes: This release features major performance improvements for several
platforms. The speed of public and private RSA operations was increased
twofold on i686, AMD64, PPC, ARM, and MIPS. This release also adds support
for the ephemeral Diffie-Hellman ciphersuites, and now features
documentation generated from doxygen.
