[001] - amforth 1.7
by Matthias Trute (http://freshmeat.net/users/mtrute/)
Tue, Apr 3rd 2007 12:24
Scientific/Engineering
Software Development :: Embedded Systems
System :: Hardware
About: amforth is a distribution of Forth running on the AVR ATmega
microcontroller. Once put into flash, it needs only a serial connection to
the host computer. New words are compiled directly into flash, thus
extending the dictionary immediately. It is ans94 Forth oriented with some
minor exclusions and a few words from the extension word sets. It is
written in assembly language and Forth itself. The main development uses
ATmega8 and ATmega32 controllers; other ATmega controllers should work
with small adjustments.
Changes: This release summarizes a lot of internal changes to ease
customization for different targets. Some new words for double cell
operation have been added, and usage of RAM has been decreased. The Web
site has a huge documentation update for every word.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management
About: Blitz templates is a fast template engine written in C and compiled
as a PHP module. It started as a php_templates replacement, but developed
into much more. It is based on extensible template controllers (custom
view classes in PHP) and weakly-active templates (simple logic in HTML).
Benchmarks show that it is one of the fastest template engines for PHP,
even though it's not trivial and makes Web application closer to the MVC2
architecture model. It was designed for big Internet projects with a lot
of complex presentation logic.
Changes: Minor fixes in output wrappers were made (the template syntax
check was corrected, ENT_NOQUOTES support added to the "escape" method,
and the default time for the "date" method is the current time).
Corresponding tests were updated.

About: BOND (building object network databases) is database development
framework for rapidly creating applications. It creates live forms for the
Web with AJAX and desktop applications using GTK. Using XML to define
widget layouts, it drives the live forms to which SQL statements and
methods can be attached.
Changes: A new grid matrix-type widget designed for calendering and
spreadsheet type forms was written for displaying and modifying data. A
month view calendar widget was added. These two widgets allow for more
date and time based development of systems. More work was made on easier
integration between bond and MS Office and OpenOffice.org. The GNOME URI
widget implementation was fixed. Lots of bugfixes were made in other parts
of the code, especially to do with relationships between widgets.

[029] - Lua 5.1.2 (Stable)
by Andre Costa (http://freshmeat.net/users/costa/)
Tue, Apr 3rd 2007 12:17
Software Development :: Interpreters
Software Development :: Libraries
About: Lua is a programming language originally designed for extending
applications, but also frequently used as a general-purpose, stand-alone
language. It combines simple procedural syntax (similar to Pascal) with
powerful data description constructs based on associative arrays and
extensible semantics. It is dynamically typed, interpreted from bytecodes,
and has automatic memory management, making it ideal for configuration,
scripting, and rapid prototyping. It is implemented as a small library of
C functions, written in ANSI C, and compiles unmodified in all known
platforms. The implementation goals are simplicity, efficiency,
portability, and low embedding cost. It has been used on games such as
Vendetta, FarCry, Homeworld2, Painkiller, and World of Warcraft.
Changes: All known bugs since 5.1.1 have been fixed.

It has improved shuffling using the mt_rand() function in favor of the
shuffle() function. As a result, the "randomness" of the deal is improved.

[046] - termlock 1.0.1
by vrai (http://freshmeat.net/users/acherondevelopment/)
Tue, Apr 3rd 2007 09:00
System :: Shells
About: Termlock blanks a curses-compatible character terminal (e.g. xterm,
eterm, PuTTY, konsole, dtterm, etc.) and locks it. To unlock the terminal,
a password must be entered. The password, or rather the password hash, is
stored in ~/.termlock. Basically, it's like a password-protected
screensaver for character terminals. Written in pure Python, it should be
immediately usable on any machine with Python and curses (or a compatible
library such as ncurses) installed.
Changes: This release fixes a major compatibility problem with non-Linux
operating systems (Solaris being the most prominent). The new code has
been tested and found to work on Solaris (both Sparc and x86) as well as
the more common Linux distributions.

Manager program to modularize it for new disk label types, plus support
for moving logical partitions and creating 'preceding' logical partitions.
