SNMP, integrating the BALANCENG-MIB with Net-SNMPD. It integrates pcap
packet dumping for debugging purposes and allows the implementation of a
"transparent forensic logging bridge".
Changes: An interactive timeout of 5 minutes has been added to the "bng
control" mode. Multiple identical warnings when updating the Ethernet
forwarding table are now suppressed correctly.

systems. Besides, it is also possible to compile u-Cherokee, a much
smaller version of the server suitable for embedded devices.
Changes: This beta version features two years of work and includes many
improvements and changes such as better performance, a brand new
configuration system, and new plug-ins for LDAP, MySQL, and mirroring.

Multimedia :: Graphics
Multimedia :: Graphics :: 3D Modeling
Multimedia :: Graphics :: 3D Rendering
About: Dice3DS is a set of Pure Python modules for dealing with 3D Studio
format (*.3ds) files. It maps 3DS chunks into a hierarchical set of Python
objects; it's a lot like how ElementTree works for XML files. Dice3DS
requires Python 2.4 or higher, and Numpy. Note that it is not a wrapper
for lib3ds.
Changes: The code was changed to use the constants defined in the "numpy"
namespace instead of the "Numeric" namespace, since numpy no longer seems
to provide the Numeric constants. The advantage is that it works for numpy
1.0. The disadvantage is that you can no longer backport it to Numeric by
changing the import statements. Most inexplicably, the behavior of
numpy.sum changed and broke the calculation of normals. Thus, the builtin
sum is used in util.py instead of numpy.sum.

About: dvdmenuauthor makes it easy and efficient to author a DVD with
menus in an indirect (non-WYSIWYG) way. An XML project file drives the DVD
authoring, from which both menus and a dvdauthor XML file are generated.
dvdauthor and spumux are then used to author the DVD filesystem. Menu
items (buttons and static items such as images and text) can be specified
conscisely in the project XML file with LaTeX markup (to be processed by
pdfLaTeX and rendered by xpdf).

Communications :: Email :: Post-Office
About: eXtended Account Management System (XAMS) allows Administration of
Unix, Web, FTP, DNS, and email accounts to manage a provider's typical
userbase. Especially focusing on email account management, it enables you
to easily create accounts, set aliases, and delegate domain administration
to 2nd party resellers or customers. It uses PHP with MySQL or PostgreSQL
as a backend, and is therefore able to manage tons of email accounts
independently from your Unix/Linux accounts. Exim for SMTP and Courier for
POP/IMAP are fully supported, but postfix, Cyrus, and qmail can be used
too.
Changes: Several bugs were fixed regarding Exim configuration, SQL, and
more.

every remote-mail protocol now in use on the Internet: POP2, POP3, RPOP,
APOP, KPOP, all flavors of IMAP, and ESMTP ETRN, ODMR, SMTP, LMTP, and
local delivery agents.
Changes: APOP was strengthened to make the CVE-2007-1558 attack harder.
Repoll without TLS now takes place immediately if a protocol errors occur
after an opportunistic TLS handshake failed. A crash when opening the
BSMTP output file failed was fixed. BSMTP no longer refuses to work with
PS_SOCKET. SOCKS is now listed in --configdump when compiled in. Several
documentation fixes and improvements were made. delete-later was added to
the contrib/ section.

server has been fixed. Error detection rules for Polish, English, and
German have been improved. Initial support for Ukrainian and Czech has
been added. Also, support for declaring phrases (or chunks) in rules is

outside Libc-X.
Changes: This release is the beta of the first major one. Complete code
review has been done, and directory structure and sources have been
reorganized for the next features. This release also provides minor fixes

About: In a nutshell, the Network Audio System (NAS) is the audio
equivalent of an X display server. It was developed by NCD for playing,
recording, and manipulating audio data over a network. Like the X Window
System, it uses the client/server model to separate applications from the
specific drivers that control audio input and output devices.
Changes: This version fixes several DOS attacks that could be carried out
against a nasd server. Most of the server and client code was made ANSI
compliant. Input and output mixer handling in the voxware (OSS) server was
significantly reworked.

About: PDFRead is a tool for converting PDF and DJVU documents for reading
on eBook devices. It does this by creating an image out of each page,
enhancing the image, and then collating the images in a device-specific
format.
Changes: DJVU input support was added. Custom options may be specified in
the Windows GUI. Mac OS X support fixes were made. Tweaks were made in the
EB-1150 and REB-1200 profile. A page is not split if the generated image's
width or height is less than the device parameters, since this caused too
many blank pages to be created.

[031] - Ragel State Machine Compiler 5.20
by Adrian Thurston (http://freshmeat.net/users/age/)
Sat, Apr 7th 2007 13:48
Software Development :: Code Generators
About: Ragel compiles finite state machines from regular languages into C,
C++, Objective-C, or D code. It allows the programmer to embed actions at
any point in a regular language, and to control non-determinism in the
resulting machines. It understands concatenation, union, kleene star,
subtraction, intersection, epsilon transitions, and various other common
operators. It also supports the construction of scanners and the building
of state machines using state charts. It can be used to create very fast
recognizers and parsers that are also robust.
Changes: The write init statement was changed so that the CS variable is
always initialized even when the main machine does not exist. The
initialization of CS can be explicitly disabled with the "nocs" option to
write init. Ruby code generation was improved and test cases were added.

Software Development
About: RailRoad is a class diagram generator for Ruby on Rails
applications. It produces diagrams of controllers and models as DOT
graphs.
Changes: The documentation was moved from the script header to the README
file. The default graph label font size was changed to 14. Error handling
was improved. Minor cosmetic changes were made. A new way to load classes,
supporting subdirectory traversal, was added. The RailRoad version is
included in diagrams' labels.

[033] - sdparm 1.01
by Douglas Gilbert (http://freshmeat.net/users/dpgilbert/)
Sat, Apr 7th 2007 23:16
System :: Systems Administration
Utilities
About: sdparm has a command line interface for getting and setting SCSI
mode page fields. Fields can be referred to by an acronym or a numerical
address. It has support for various SCSI transport and vendor-specific
mode pages. It also decodes Vital Product Data (VPD) pages and can send
some simple SCSI commands. It was written for Linux with ports to FreeBSD,
Tru64, and Windows.
Changes: Changes to SCSI mode and VPD pages that were introduced by
t10.org since the last release were incorporated. The pass-through
interface was updated, and code which is written in C was made to compile
cleanly with C++. Rules to build with MinGW under Windows were added.

[034] - StreamCruncher 1.10 Beta
by Ashwin Jayaprakash (http://freshmeat.net/users/AshwinJ/)
Sat, Apr 7th 2007 23:02
Database :: Database Engines/Servers
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
System :: Monitoring
About: StreamCruncher is an Event Processor. It supports a language based
on SQL which allows you to define "Event Processing" constructs like
Sliding Windows, Time Based Windows, Partitions, and Aggregates. Such
constructs allow for the specification of boundaries (some are time
sensitive) on a Stream of Events that SQL does not provide. Queries can be
written using this language, which in turn can be used to monitor streams
of incoming events. It also provides a feature similar to materialized
views. Joins and sub-queries are also supported to allow event
co-relation. A database is used underneath to do the heavy lifting.
Changes: The $diff clause was added for built-in aggregate functions,
along with the custom Baseline Provider feature. ClusterHealthTest
demonstrates this new feature. The Custom Window size Provider should now
be declared in the Query statically. TimeWFPartitionWinSizeProviderTest
demonstrates this change. A simple class, StandAloneDemo, shows how to run
a sample using just the Java main(..) method. sc_run_standalone.bat can be
used to run the Demo.
