by Eitan Isaacson (http://freshmeat.net/users/eeejay/)
Fri, Mar 30th 2007 18:28

Software Development :: Debuggers
Software Development :: Quality Assurance
Software Development :: Testing

About: Accerciser lets you test all aspects of accessibility on the GNOME
desktop. It uses AT-SPI to inspect and control widgets, allowing you to
check whether an application is providing correct information to assistive
technologies and automated test frameworks. It has a simple plugin
framework that you can use to extend and customize the accessibility
information displayed. It is written in Python and uses the pyLinAcc
component from LSR to interact with AT-SPI using pyORBit. In essence, it
is a next generation at-poke tool.

by Oleg Tsulun (http://freshmeat.net/users/otsulun/)
Fri, Mar 30th 2007 18:28

About: Approximator Line is an application that allows you to synthesize
an approximation function of one argument. Both coordinates of known
points or mathematical expression can be used as input data. The
application uses an evolutionary algorithm that allows it to find more
optimal results. The enhanced evolutionary algorithm allows it to avoid
long-time hitting to local maximum. In a few hours, the application can
evaluate billions of combinations with use of a reasonable number of input
data points on a contemporary computer. Approximator Line uses
multithreading that can help to utilize maximum computation power.

fast digital signal processing, versatile high speed displays, and
continuous capture tools for hunting down and studying elusive signal
characteristics.

Changes: The addition of multi-threading and a reduction of memory buffer
consumption make this release faster and leaner. A new Average exponential
decay and timer feature increases the weak signal extraction power and
flexibility. A few user interface improvements streamline this process
even more.

[012] - Conary 1.1.19 (1.1)
by Michael K. Johnson (http://freshmeat.net/users/johnsonm/)
Fri, Mar 30th 2007 00:15

Software Development :: Version Control
System :: Archiving :: Packaging
System :: Installation/Setup

About: Conary is a distributed software management system for Linux
distributions. It replaces traditional package management solutions (such
as RPM and dpkg) with one designed to enable loose collaboration across
the Internet. It enables sets of distributed and loosely connected
repositories to define the components which are installed on a Linux
system. Rather than having a full distribution come from a single vendor,
it allows administrators and developers to branch a distribution, keeping
the pieces which fit their environment while grabbing components from
other repositories across the Internet.

Changes: The new "cvc promote" command simplifies release management.
Within conary repositories, all caching has been changed to use a generic,
atomic caching layer, and a caching proxy layer has been implemented.
Additionally, the conary "proxy" configuration now works both through
conary repository proxies and arbitrary HTTP proxies such as squid and
mod_proxy. Conary repositories can now handle changesets larger than 2GB
even with Apache 2.0, working around an Apache limitation.

[013] - Database Bean Generator 2.1.1
by jespo (http://freshmeat.net/users/jespo2005/)
Fri, Mar 30th 2007 00:14

Database
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries

About: Generator is a command line application to facilitate the
construction of small applications that need some database objects. It
isn't a replacement for complex object persistence solutions, like
hibernate or TopLink, but it covers a different target: the little Java
Web applications that don't use sophisticated persistence options.
Generator invocation is simple: just type java -jar generator.jar -xml,
where the config file is an XML config file with the definitions to
connect to the database and generate the bean classes. You can also use
the Ant task.

Changes: Some bugs were fixed. Support for MSSQL was updated. Autonumeric
or sequence fields are now supported in Oracle, Firebird, MSSQL, and
MySQL. Generic Finder support was added.

Markers). An image can be read into an array, Image, BufferedImage, or
tiled RenderedImage. Accurate color conversion is done with ICC profiles.
TIFF tools allow you to split and merge TIFF images.

Changes: The EPS parser was partially rewritten and made more generic and
easy to use. It may be used now to parse nearly every kind of data (as a
programmable parser). Thumbnails are read from AI (Illustrator) files.
Disc based image caching was implemented (but is beta). New methods were
added to TiffUtils: insert IFDEntry, remove IFDEntry, and create and
insert IFDEntry with IPTC data. Two utility classes were added for
creating and adding EXIF and GPS data to TIFF images. An important bug in
XMPApp1 concerning wrong field length was fixed.

Fri, Mar 30th 2007 00:10

Games/Entertainment :: Arcade
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries

About: JGame is a small 2D game engine that runs on any Java 1.2+

any resolution or run full-screen.

Changes: A sound API was added; some of the games now have (some) sound.
An "online game generator" application was added for creating games
without programming. A new game, Ramjet, was added. A bug where shift-esc
would not work on all machines was fixed. AppConfig was made a bit more
robust. Some minor changes were made in the docs and API.

Fri, Mar 30th 2007 17:51

Desktop Environment :: K Desktop Environment (KDE) :: Themes KDE 3.x
System :: Installation/Setup
System :: Operating System :: Linux Distributions

About: Kslackcheck keeps in sync changelogs and shows updates in a
graphical popup in KDE, with just one click. It can tell users what
packages in need to be upgraded for major releases, and helps to download
them to a particular directory ready for manual upgrading.

Changes: According to the new -current layout, KDE binaries and related
files have been moved to /usr instead of /opt, which would also work in
official Slackware releases. There is a fix for proxy connection: this
release tires to find proxy settings in wgetrc, and for now the default
mode is a proxy connection without authentication. To obtain
authentication, just set new value in PROXYAUTH in kslackcheck.conf.

Database :: Front-Ends
Software Development :: Libraries
System

About: radlib is a C language library developed to abstract details of
interprocess communications and common Linux/Unix system facilities so
that application developers can concentrate on application solutions. It
encourages developers to use a proven paradigm of event-driven,
asynchronous design. By abstracting interprocess messaging, events,
timers, and any I/O device that can be represented as a file descriptor,
radlib simplifies the implementation of multi-purpose processes, as well
as multi-process applications. In short, radlib is a sincere attempt to
provide real-time OS capability on a non-real-time OS.

Changes: Updated to work properly on both 32- and 64-bit architectures. No
special configuration is required. A few API calls have been changed ("int"
arguments became "long"), but only a few. This release increases the
default system buffer numbers and adds an additional size of 8192 to
better support 64-bit platforms.
