About: HPGL-Distiller filters out aspects of an HPGL file which are not
relevant for various HPGL output devices, typically vinyl cutters.
Irrelevant codes are filtered out to prevent many vinyl cutters from
responding poorly to the excess data. With the use of HPGL-Distiller, you
can use Inkscape, QCAD, GIMP, and many others to produce appropriate vinyl
cutting output results.

Changes: A shell script that can allow Inkscape and other programs to
print directly to HPGL vinyl cutters was added.

Thu, Feb 8th 2007 09:10

Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Software Development :: Libraries :: PHP Classes

About: The HTTP extension for PHP aims to provide a convenient and
powerful set of functionality for one of PHP's major applications. It
eases handling of HTTP URLs, dates, redirects, headers, and messages,
provides means for negotiation of clients' preferred language and charset,
as well as a convenient way to send any arbitrary data with caching and
resuming capabilities. It provides powerful request functionality if built
with CURL support. Parallel requests are available for PHP 5 and greater.

Changes: HttpMessage::fromEnv(int type[, string class_name =
"HttpMessage"]) was added. Support for per process persistent cURL handles
was added. The --enable-http-persistent-handles configure option was added.
http_persistent_handles_count(), http_persistent_handles_clean([string
name]), and http_persistent_handles_ident([string ident]) were added. The
http.persistent.handles.ident INI setting was added.

About: incron is an "inotify cron" system. It works like the regular cron
but is driven by filesystem events instead of time periods. It contains
two programs, a daemon called "incrond" (analogous to crond) and a table
manipulator "incrontab" (like "crontab").

Changes: A bug related to ignoring new tables has been fixed. A memory
leak originated at startup has been fixed. Documentation has been
corrected and slightly improved.

Database :: Front-Ends
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content

About: Interchange is a mature Web application development environment
with a focus on ecommerce and dynamic content management. It offers
session and user management, database connectivity (both via SQL and a
database abstraction layer), templating, a shopping cart, payment
processing, inventory, encryption (via GnuPG, PGP, etc.), tax and shipping
calculation, discounts, Web-based administration, localization, event
routing, SOAP-based RPC, a custom tag language akin to CFML, and the full
power of Perl. It grew out of two earlier projects, MiniVend and Tallyman.

Changes: A DoS exploit caused by carefully crafted HTTP POST requests has
been fixed. An apparent Perl bug that allowed code called by
DispatchRoutines to overwrite the routines arrays themselves has been
worked around. Masking of unencrypted credit card numbers to work with a
custom MV_CREDIT_CARD_INFO_TEMPLATE that does not match the regexp has
been fixed. The regexp has been fixed so that it removes the CVV2 value
from the unencrypted data. A shipping problem with the temporary
mv_shipping cart that could cause trouble in cart recalculations has been
fixed. There are other various bugfixes and minor enhancements.

Software Development :: Testing :: Traffic Generation
System :: Diagnostics
System :: Filesystems

About: iogen is an I/O generator. It forks child processes that each run a
mix of reads and writes. The idea is to generate heavily fragmented files
to make the hardware suffer as much as possible. This tool has been used
to test filesystems, drivers, firmware, and hardware devices. It is by no
means meant as a performance measuring tool since it tries to recreate the
worst case scenario I/O.

Changes: This release fixes a problem which caused running iogen with the
default parameters to fail with an "invalid pattern" message.

About: s11n ("serialization") is a C++ library for easily serializing a
wide variety of objects, including PODs, STL containers, and user-defined
Serializable types. It is completely data-format agnostic and currently

most powerful serialization framework ever implemented in C++.

Changes: This release primarily contains minor cleanups, half of which are
build-tree related. If 1.2.3 or 1.2.4 works for you, there is no reason to
upgrade, however it may be of use if you make heavy use of client-side
Serializable template types.

show a typical speedup of 2-40 over Psyco, about 12 on average, and 2-220
over CPython, about 45 on average. Shed Skin also outputs annotated source
code.

Changes: Iterator and generator support (no generator expressions yet).
Full support for random modules. This release adds itertools.{count,
repeat, cycle}, dict.{iterkeys, itervalues, iteritems}, and a 3-argument
integer version of __builtin__.pow. Logical and/or operations have the
correct return value now (e.g. '3 and 4'). Many minor bugfixes (an
improved % operator, the addition of math.pow, and more).

by Dan Graham (http://freshmeat.net/users/dgraham/)
Thu, Feb 8th 2007 16:37

Information Management
Office/Business :: Scheduling

About: wxRemind is a wxPython-based front-end for Remind, a powerful
calendar and alarm application. Similar to the curses-based Wyrd, the
display features a calendar and daily event list suitable for visualizing
your schedule at a glance. Dates and associated events can be quickly
selected either with the mouse or cursor keys, and dates in the calendar
are color coded to reflect the total duration of scheduled events.
wxRemind provides an internal editor or integrates with an external editor
of your choice to make editing of reminder files more efficient, provides
hotkeys to quickly access the most common Remind options, and allows
popup, sound, and/or spoken alarms.

Changes: wxRemind now consists of three standalone, platform independent
(Linux or OS X) programs: wxremind (the main program) wxremalert (a
notification utility intended to be called by remind's 'RUN'), and
wxremdata (a replacement for 'rem'). No installation is required beyond
moving the files to somewhere in your executable path. Automatic
configuration occurs the first time one of the programs is run.
