[001] - Auto Project Planner 0.9.1
by don.didi (http://freshmeat.net/users/dondidi/)
Thu, Mar 8th 2007 03:42
Office/Business
Office/Business :: CRM
Office/Business :: Scheduling
About: Auto Project Planner automatically calculates a proper project plan
based on your effort estimations and the due dates you have in mind. A list
of tasks and a list of employees can be defined. Tasks can be assigned to
one or more employees. It is also possible to define a maximum percentage
value an employee can/should work on a task. Public holidays, leaves,
weekly working hours, and more parameters can be specified and are
considered in the calculation. According to this input, the software
computes time plans by minimizing the MSE (mean squared error) between
expected and computed end dates.
Changes: This release provides improved handling of personal/sick leave
and public holidays in the GUI. Some smaller bugs were fixed.

[002] - Bacula 2.0.3
by Lev_Arris (http://freshmeat.net/users/LevArris/)
Thu, Mar 8th 2007 03:32
System :: Archiving :: Backup
About: Bacula is a set of programs that allow you to manage the backup,
recovery, and verification of computer data across a network of different
computers. It is based on a client/server architecture and is efficient
and relatively easy to use, while offering many advanced storage
management features that make it easy to find and recover lost or damaged
files.
Changes: Issues with truncated files when restoring encrypted backups were
fixed. Quick disconnect FD code was added (SD releases the FD connection as
soon as all data has been received and then does the remaining spooling on
its own). ClientRunBeforeJob was reverted to what it was in 1.38.x to fix
connection issues for long running scripts (it will not be able to
generate Include/Exclude lists any more). Bacula no longer attempts to
rewind FIFOs.

[003] - Bartlby 1.2.8
by helmut januschka (http://freshmeat.net/users/hjanuschka/)
Thu, Mar 8th 2007 05:21
System :: Diagnostics
System :: Monitoring
System :: Networking :: Monitoring
About: Bartlby is a network and system monitor, completely written in C,
to provide a scalable framework with the ability to monitor networks of
various sizes. It consists of a core daemon, several plugins, and a Web
GUI (PHP extension). The core daemon checks (over active/passive TCP)
services/hosts and notifies users in case of critical service conditions
(mail, SMS, ICQ, and custom triggers are supported). Bartlby provides an
open plugin interface to give every administrator an easy to use option to
extend the plugin base, and a fully customizable GUI (written in PHP using
a C extension). Nearby everything can be controlled via an XML interface.
Changes: Many performance issues have been solved, and a few new
performance tuning variables have been added. The complete new
execution-plan feature has implemented, so you can specify days and time
ranges when a service should be checked. An extension is also included for
doing distributed network monitoring, either with bartlby_portier or a
patched NSCA (patch included). The server-life-indicator was added, so you
can assign a service to a server which must be OK, and if it's not, no
checks for this server will be made.

locater daemon, a Jython daemon (allowing Python scripts to run within
Coadunation), and a deployment daemon (to install daemons and copy files).
It fixes some minor and major bugs. It includes updated documentation.
Along with the easily installable jar package, there is also a single
compilable source release file.

[007] - Dada Mail 2.10.13
by justin simoni (http://freshmeat.net/users/skazat/)
Thu, Mar 8th 2007 23:24
Communications :: Email :: Mailing List Servers
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
About: Dada Mail is an intuitive, Web-based email list management system,
which runs on any hosting account that can execute custom CGI scripts.
Dada Mail is also a conceptual art project. Dada Mail handles double
opt-in/opt-out subscriptions, and can send complex announce-only and/or

searching, resending, and syndicating (through RSS or Atom) sent messages.
Dada Mail produces valid XHTML and sticks to best practices when creating
email messages.
Changes: This version of Dada Mail solves several bugs found in the
2.10.12 series. Of special note is a workaround for Solaris users and mass
mailings.

[008] - DBIx::Perlish 0.21
by Grrrr (http://freshmeat.net/users/Grrrr/)
Thu, Mar 8th 2007 09:41
About: The DBIx::Perlish module provides the ability to work with
databases supported by the DBI module using Perl's own syntax for the four
most common operations: SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE, and INSERT. By using
DBIx::Perlish, you can write most of your database queries using a
domain-specific language with Perl syntax. However, the module is not
intended to replace all use of SQL in your program. The DBIx::Perlish
module quite intentionally neither implements nor cares about database
administration tasks like schema design and management.
Changes: This release introduces new syntax allowing the use of backquotes
for verbatim pieces of SQL. It has fixes for Perl 5.9.X compatibility.

[009] - Decimail Webmail 3 alpha15
by Phil Endecott (http://freshmeat.net/users/endecotp/)
Thu, Mar 8th 2007 09:46
Communications :: Email :: Email Clients (MUA)
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
About: Decimail Webmail 3 is an email application written in Javascript.
It is almost entirely client-side, and so has the potential for a rich and
responsive user-interface. The server-side requirement is a Web server, a
simple IMAP-to-HTTP proxy, and any IMAP server; this should result in
lower server load than some CGI Webmail applications. The code is still
relatively new and is not yet suited to widespread deployment.
Changes: New features include message sorting (click on the column
headers), popup menus (click on the triangles), a "find mailboxes" field,
a login dialog, printing, and "view as text" for unknown MIME types. The
code has also been restructured in this release, no doubt adding some new
bugs.

Thu, Mar 8th 2007 03:28
Office/Business :: Financial
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
About: jDTAUS is a Java implementation of the German DTAUS file format as
specified by Zentraler Kreditausschuss. It implements the DTAUS
specification version 2.0 (dated November 2005). The API was written with
mass-data support in mind and provides all possible kinds of operations on
a DTAUS file. Performance or memory critical sections of the code can be
hand-tuned via a property file without rebuilding the code. The API is
based on an abstraction layer for I/O operations, so implementations can
be adopted to other persistence mechanisms.
Changes: This release fixes two non-critical bugs where transactions
without a description could not be written without getting a
NullPointerException and where an empty string was written instead of the
date of execution.

[031] - LambdaRogue 0.1.105
by Mario Donick (http://freshmeat.net/users/mariodonick/)
Thu, Mar 8th 2007 23:12
Games/Entertainment :: Role-Playing
About: LambdaRogue is a rogue-like role playing game set in the future of
a somehow "parallel world" to our own. People had to go underground to
survive a war between human society and the once peaceful Drakh'Nar,
another species on the planet. People founded the NeoTerr nation and tried
to build up a prosperous civilization. This worked, until suddenly strange
creatures came down the Great River Styx. The river has now become a
source of fear and terror. The player has to follow the river through
NeoTerr and discover the reason. The atmosphere is rather strange,
influcenced by phantasy and cyberpunk.
Changes: HP does not autoregenrate any longer. This makes the game more
difficult. Monsters are able to do long-range attacks. There are three new
trader types (hospital, restaurant, and academy). There are many UI
improvements and bugfixes.
