Multimedia :: Graphics :: Viewers
About: AstroCam is an C-based Stepmotor Controlsystem including a PHP Web
interface. You can use it for controlling webcams over the
Internet/intranet or everything else you want to do with a stepmotor.
Changes: This releases fixes a DoS security hole that was not exploitable
but made it possible to shut down the astrocam daemon remotely via the Web
interface. Other changes include tiny improvements in the man page, as well
as variable checking in the Web interface to prevent a DoS in both
instances, the Web interface and the daemon process. Missing <body> tages
are now placed in the Web interface, and the astrocam daemon is able to
handle the alternative upcoming version 3.0 Web interface.

already-running instance of Gwyddion, and by default file associations
work this way now. Four new modules have been added: Nanoscope II
importation, Intematix importation, polynomial distortion in the
horizontal plane, and an experimental Python interface. A curve list tab
has been added to graph windows, allowing the user to copy and delete
graph curves. The "Graph fit and Critical dimension" user interface has
been improved; fitted parameters have proper units now. Raw file
importation now allows the user to set arbitrary lateral and value units.

[032] - Network Query Tool 1.9
by Shaun (http://freshmeat.net/users/frigax/)
Fri, Mar 9th 2007 00:42
Internet
Internet :: Name Service (DNS)
System :: Networking
About: Network Query Tool (NQT) is a one-stop solution for getting
information about a domain or IP address. Instead of manually using
different Unix commands or visiting numerous Web sites to investigate a
host, just load Network Query Tool and enter the hostname or IP. NQT does
the rest. It supports a large number of TLDs and ccTLDs.
Changes: Various fixes were made from the initial rewrite. A bug in a
regex where domains with hyphens would not be recognized was fixed. A bug
where IP address lookups were not properly occurring was fixed. A bug
where .fr domains were associated with two distinct and incorrect whois
servers was fixed. Network Solutions' new AboutUs spam in whois results is
detected and removed. Other various bugs were fixed.

Internally, Nesla has a very clean API that makes it easy for C programs
to make full use of its functions and data.

[035] - OpenWindows Augmented Compatibility Environment 1.0b4/200703091353
by Coyote (http://freshmeat.net/users/elcoyote/)
Fri, Mar 9th 2007 07:01
Desktop Environment
Desktop Environment :: Window Managers
Software Development :: Widget Sets
About: The OpenWindows Augmented Compatibility Environment (OWacomp) makes
it possible to use the older OpenWindows Deskset environment on Solaris 9
and 10. It is also useful for people that need to compile XView, OLIT, or
DevGuide applications.
Changes: This release adds /usr/openwin/lib/checkOW for sparc and i386. It
adds the Makefile.gcc missing from the olvwm 4.5 source. It rebuilds olvwm
under Solaris 9/SPARC instead of Solaris 10/SPARC (libm.so.2 vs. libm.so.1
mismatch). This fix isn't complete for Solaris 9/i386 yet (olvwm is fine,
but other binaries aren't).

Information Management
System :: Systems Administration
About: OpenXDAS is a Novell-sponsored fully functional implementation of
the OpenGroup's Distributed Auditing System standard.
Changes: This release has a new persistent file-based message cache/queue
mechanism. The queue is serviced by a background thread, and the cache is
disk-based so that data will not be lost in the event of a crash. The
filtering facility has been implemented for filters specified in an XML
format on disk. The file format will be documented in an upcoming release
of the manual. Triggering capability has been added in conjunction with
the filtering sub-system. When a record matches a filter with an
associated system shell script, the script is executed in a background
thread.
