Security
About: AVScan is an anti-virus scanner that uses the ClamAV library
(libclamav). It allows you to create a list of scan items for frequently
scanned locations and features on-demand virus database updating, manual
drag and drop object scanning, and pausing and resuming of scanning, all
in a simple GUI environment.
Changes: Compile-time specific code was added for the new ClamAV 0.90.x
API. The Endeavour-specific code was updated to conform to the Endeavour
2.8.x API.

[004] - bit 0.4.1
by Rick Vinyard (http://freshmeat.net/users/rvinyard/)
Sat, Mar 24th 2007 11:22
Software Development :: Libraries
About: bit is a library that makes it easier to dynamically manipulate
data buffers containing fields that do not have octet (byte) boundaries.
An example is the IP header, which is generally dealt with at compile time
via bit fields in a structure. A key feature of the bit library is support
for loading data formats described in XML files and dynamically parsing
those fields at run time. This library was initially created to support
reading various kinds of robotic device I/O (IR sensors, motors), but it
has also been used for run time parsing of IP, TCP, UDP, and RTP headers.
Changes: This minor release makes all bit::Data comparison operators const
methods, allowing for comparison of const data items.

[005] - Botan 1.7.0 (Development)
by Jack Lloyd (http://freshmeat.net/users/randombit/)
Sat, Mar 24th 2007 12:25
Security :: Cryptography
Software Development :: Libraries
About: Botan is a C++ library of cryptographic algorithms. It includes a
wide selection of cryptographic algorithms (including AES, DES, SHA-1,
RSA, and DSA, among many others). It also support X.509 certificates and
several common certificate-related formats and protocols. It has a high
level interface, is easily portable to most systems and compilers, and
includes a substantial tutorial and API reference.
Changes: DSA parameter generation has been changed to match the new system
in FIPS 186-3. OIDs for the Rabin-Williams and Nyberg-Rueppel public key
signature schemes have been added, so those keys can now be imported and
exported using the same system used for RSA and DSA keys. In addition,
those keys can be used in X.509 certificates. Portions of the API
documentation have been reorganized and rewritten to help cover the most
common tasks first.

System :: Archiving :: Mirroring
About: Clonezilla is a partition or disk cloning tool similar to Symantec
Ghost. Unlike other open source clone tools such as G4U or G4L, Clonezilla
saves and restores only blocks in use on the hard drive if the file system
is supported. For unsupported file systems, dd is used instead. It has
been used to clone a 5 GB system to 40 clients in about 10 minutes.
Changes: Some more options were added to the boot menu: "To RAM", which
makes it possible to remove boot media (CD, USB flash drive) when booting
is finished, a failsafe mode, and a FreeDOS option. A bug where the dialog
menu was distorted was fixed.

reference-based containers (which do not use equals() to compare objects)
and linked structures. Most iterators provided by fastutil classes are
bidirectional, or even implement the standard list iterator interface.

optional companion library, Papyrusmm, provides a set of Gtkmm widgets
which includes viewports (a canvas display widget similar to
Gtk::DrawingArea) and other UI widgets related to drawing interfaces.
Changes: A bug in the lower_to_bottom() method was fixed, and the method
was made more efficient. The Papyrus::Image class was extended, allowing
it to use cairo image surfaces directly.

arguments. Graphic and PostScript outputs are now cleared in a child
process. Locales are now used by the preprocessor. A major bug was fixed
in impression_tex(). PRINT did not work due to a bug introduced by
multitasking code. SORT can now use a name as its argument.

About: Smutty is yet another MVC framework for PHP. It is designed with
ease of use in mind, and heavily based on the Smarty templating engine.
Changes: A Web-based interface was added for unit tests. Speed
improvements were achieved in many classes after profiling. Bugfixes and
other small improvements were made, and the framework is now quite stable.

[035] - xterm patch #225
by T.E.Dickey (http://freshmeat.net/users/tedickey/)
Sat, Mar 24th 2007 12:18
Desktop Environment
Terminals :: Terminal Emulators/X Terminals
About: The xterm program is the standard terminal emulator for the X
Window System. It provides DEC VT102/VT220 and Tektronix 4014 compatible
terminals for programs that can't use the window system directly. If the
underlying operating system supports terminal resizing capabilities (for
example, the SIGWINCH signal in systems derived from 4.3bsd), xterm will
use the facilities to notify programs running in the window whenever it is
resized.
Changes: New features include a termcap-driven keyboard and the ability to
spawn a new terminal. ASCII equivalents were added for select/paste. The
Urgency hint is set for the window manager. Bugs were fixed.
