[001] - Addendat 1.1
by Deekoo L. (http://freshmeat.net/users/deekoo/)
Mon, Apr 9th 2007 08:47
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
About: Addendat is a blogging program that can accept updates from either
a CGI interface or a shell interface. Additions are stored as HTML, so you
can edit both entries and design in any ordinary text editor. It is
configured using a simple HTML-like config file format and supports
multiple blogs, even on the same page. It does not require Java or
JavaScript and can publicize additions on a central hub, making it easy
for Web users to find recently-updated blogs. It supports comments and
archiving, can post entries to other CGIs, and features configurable
comment spam countermeasures.
Changes: More checks for runaway loops have been added, and it now uses
BSD::Resource to prevent any remaining infinite loops from causing
Addendat to run away forever. Error messages and the template code
handling have been improved. A crude command line comment deletion utility
has been added.

[002] - AIMLBot (Program#) 2.5
by ntoll (http://freshmeat.net/users/ntoll/)
Mon, Apr 9th 2007 13:50
About: AIMLBot (Program#) is a small, fast, standards-compliant yet easily
customizable .NET DLL implementation of an AIML (Artificial Intelligence
Markup Language) based chatter bot. It boasts cross-platform
compatibility, a modular architecture, a simple and logical API, standards
compliant AIML support with the option for extensions via custom tags, very
small size (currently only 56k), and very fast performance (over 30,000
categories processed in under a second).
Changes: This version fixes a rather serious bug that crept into the last
version where regex-based replacements caused the bot to either time out
or produce incorrect paths for the graphmaster algorithm. In addition,
generics are now used throughout, which will improve the performance of
the bot.

Mon, Apr 9th 2007 13:20
Games/Entertainment :: Real Time Strategy
About: Goba (Game Of Bases) is a remake of the classic Flash Attack game
featuring pre-rendered graphics, sound, and networking (no computer
opponents) with meta-server support. You control four tanks and try to
destroy enemy bases while defending your own. The tanks have weapons and a
set of mines, which may be recharged back at the base. The bases have a
limited number of bomb attacks in their disposal, plus a laser beam that
can cut through the whole game field (2000 x 2000 pixels).
Changes: Tanks now have more ammo, and they can build fake base objects.
Enhanced graphics: rerendered bases and tanks, drawn tile graphics, and
rendered explosions. Targetting lasers and bombs was made easier with
visual guide lines. The map generator is more robust, and produces maps of
varying grass levels. Blitting performance has been optimized by cropping
loaded bitmaps and converting some images to JPEGs.

implemented. A major bug in duplicate keys was fixed, along with phantom
rows for updates. The server status has been updated.

by scox (http://freshmeat.net/users/scox/)
Mon, Apr 9th 2007 13:35
Security
System :: Systems Administration
About: pam_usb is a PAM module that enables either two-factor or
password-less authentication using a USB storage device (such as a USB
flash memory stick). It works with any application supporting PAM, such as
su or any login manager (GDM, KDM), etc. The pam_usb package also contains
pamusb-agent, a daemon that can trigger actions (such as locking the
screen) upon device authentication and removal.
Changes: Both pam_usb and its tools (adm and hotplug) have been redesigned
from the ground up and rewritten from scratch. Hardware recognition is now
done through HAL, which provides a stable interface over kernel changes.
Certificates have been replaced by one time pads. That will prevent copies
of the USB device from being used for authentication. pam_usb now verifies
device information (vendor, product, serial number, and UUID) in the
authentication process. pamusb-agent (formely usbhotplug) make use of DBUS
signals (sent by HAL) instead of kernel hotplugging.

[039] - prbeditor 0.9.7_1
by eduardj (http://freshmeat.net/users/eduardj/)
Mon, Apr 9th 2007 13:49
Text Processing :: Linguistic
About: prbeditor is an editor for Java property resource bundle files. The
application's intent is to help in the localization (l10n) of those
programs that have been internationalized with Java's standard i18n
mechanism. In contrast to other similar tools, it shows the keys and
values of several languages at the same time in a spreadsheet, giving a
global view of the resource files. The tool relies on the application of
regular expresions to organize the keys and filter the visibility of the
files. It includes a spell checker for several languages, based on word
lists which may be downloaded separately.
Changes: The default editor now allows newline and tab characters; to type
them, press ctrl+ENTER and ctrl+TAB. There is a new configuration option,
activated by default, to create new lines per each newline character when
saving. This way, values are easier to read. The pane editor now has
autocomplete and a spell checker. The pane editor keeps newline and tab
characters.

[042] - Save Scummer 002
by Jeff Lait (http://freshmeat.net/users/jmlait/)
Mon, Apr 9th 2007 11:26
Games/Entertainment :: Role-Playing
About: In Save Scummer, all the usual rough edges of roguelikes have been
polished off. You no longer have to make obvious decisions like whether to
open a door, climb stairs, attack an enemy, or even move down a corridor.
Further, the game has been equipped with infinite undo, allowing you to
retract any number of moves if you find that they were unwise. Also built
in are the ability to save and restore ten different save points, so you
can jump back to earlier parts of your progress. Where it gets
interesting, however, is that this is the only control you have over the
hapless @ exploring the dungeon.

Internet
Security
Software Development :: Libraries :: Python Modules
About: Scapy is a powerful interactive packet manipulation tool, packet
generator, network scanner, network discovery tool, and packet sniffer. It
provides classes to interactively create packets or sets of packets,
manipulate them, send them over the wire, sniff other packets from the
wire, match answers and replies, and more. Interaction is provided by the
Python interpreter, so Python programming structures can be used (such as
variables, loops, and functions). Report modules are possible and easy to
make. It is intended to do about the same things as ttlscan, nmap, hping,
queso, p0f, xprobe, arping, arp-sk, arpspoof, firewalk, irpas, tethereal,
tcpdump, etc.
Changes: This release adds the ability to transcribe ASN1-specified
protocols easily, SNMP protocol support, MIB parsing, OID/DNS/OUI
resolving, configurable field value resolution, a startup script, and
srflood() and srpflood() to flood with packets while catching answers.

Games/Entertainment
Games/Entertainment :: Arcade
About: simpleJ emulates a simplified computer on your PC: a retro-style
video game console that lets you understand how a computer works and write
your own video game programs. The first microcomputers were quite simple.
They had a few kilobytes of memory and couldn't run large programs. Many
didn't even have an operating system. Yet they had something valuable:
understanding everything about their hardware and software was easy.
simpleJ aims to make this possible while running on modern PC hardware.
Changes: This release includes new sample games, compiler enhancements,
and bugfixes, and a new option to package your game as a standalone jar
file.

About: sync2cd is an incremental archiving tool. It allows backing up
complete filesystem hierarchies to multiple backup media (e.g. CD-R).

stored during an archive operation. All entity types are supported:
directories, files, symlinks, named pipes, sockets, and block and
character devices.

About: Task Coach is a simple todo manager to manage personal tasks and
todo lists. It grew out of a frustration that well-known task managers,

composite tasks.
Changes: This release provides a mixture of bugfixes and small additional
features. Features added include coloring of exported HTML and printouts,
and the addition of description and reminder columns.
