About: AC3D is a well established, fully featured 3D modeling package. It
features an easy to use interface, powerful polygon and vertex editing, a
UV mapper, 2D/3D text, and subdivision surfaces. It supports many 3D file
formats.
Changes: Problems with the Lightwave (LWO) import/export on Mac and Linux
have been fixed. For Mac OS X users, because of a bug in OS X 10.4.8,
there is an AC3D fix that bypasses system dialogs and replaces them with
alternate popup windows. The Texture coordinate editor has a new rotation
control for detailed angle input rotations of the selection.

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: CD Audio
About: The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture is composed of several parts.
The first is a fully modularized sound driver which supports module
autoloading, devfs, isapnp autoconfiguration, and gives complete access to
analog audio, digital audio, control, mixer, synthesizer, DSP, MIDI, and
timer components of audio hardware. It also includes a fully-featured
kernel-level sequencer, a full compatibility layer for OSS/Free
applications, an object-oriented C library which covers and enhances the
ALSA kernel driver functionality for applications (client/server, plugins,
PCM sharing/multiplexing, PCM metering, etc.), an interactive configuration
program for the driver, and some simple utilities for basic management.
Changes: Support for kernel versions 2.6.20 and 2.6.21rc was added. Many

[006] - Cairo 1.4.0
by Moritz Barsnick (http://freshmeat.net/users/barsnick/)
Wed, Mar 7th 2007 05:33
Software Development :: Libraries
About: Cairo is a vector graphics library with cross-device output
support. It currently supports the X Window System and in-memory image
buffers as output targets. It is designed to produce identical output on
all output media while taking advantage of display hardware acceleration
when available (eg. through the X Render Extension). It provides a
stateful user-level API with capabilities similar to the PDF 1.4 imaging
model and provides operations including stroking and filling Bezier cubic
splines, transforming and compositing translucent images, and antialiased
text rendering.
Changes: Enormous performance improvements were made for many operations.
PDF output was greatly improved, providing better compatibility and a more
compact encoding. The API was enhanced, mainly for better querying of
information. An experimental OS/2 backend was added. Many bugs were fixed.
Documentation was updated and expanded.

[007] - Codestriker 1.9.3

Wed, Mar 7th 2007 19:16
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries
Software Development
Software Development :: Bug Tracking
About: Codestriker is a Web application that supports online code reviews.
Traditional document reviews are supported, as well as reviewing diffs
generated by an SCM (Source Code Management) system and plain unidiff
patches. There are integration points with CVS, Subversion, Clearcase,
Perforce, Visual SourceSafe, and Bugzilla. There is a plug-in architecture
for supporting other SCMs and issue tracking systems. It minimizes paper
work, ensures that issues, comments, and decisions are recorded in a
database, and provides a comfortable workspace for actually performing
code inspections. An optional highly-configurable metrics subsystem allows
you to record code inspection metrics as a part of your process.
Changes: The project list screen now displays, for each project, the total
number of open topics and the total number of topics. Clicking on the count
will go to the topic list screen with the relevant topics displayed. The
VSS repository handler has been modified so that topics can be created by
labels or version numbers in the start and end tag fields. The URI filter
in the Template Toolkit changed its behaviour in 2.16, which was
responsible for generating invalid links. This has now been fixed. There
is better handling of Subversion diffs that were generated on non-English
systems.

definition can be turned into a template which may be applied to many
Round Robin Database files. Unlike most other RRDtool front-ends, drraw
does not take care of collecting data and updating Round Robin database
files. Instead, it specializes in providing an easy means of displaying
collected data, making it a great complement to other RRDtool front-
ends.
Changes: This release brings another set of minor features, along with a
fix for an API change in newer RRDtool releases.

certificates, multiple simultaneous test cases, authentication, SSL
recording and playback, automated analysis, AJAX support, SOAP support,
and more.
