[001] - AspeCt-oriented C 0.6
by imipak (http://freshmeat.net/users/imipak/)
Sat, Jun 2nd 2007 00:50
Software Development :: Code Generators
About: ACC (AspeCt-oriented C) enables aspect-oriented software
development with the C programming language. AspeCt-oriented C consists of
a compiler that translates code written in AspeCt-oriented C into ANSI C
code. This code can be compiled by any ANSI C compliant compiler.
Changes: This version added an immediate return from the parent function
of a matched function. An exception handling mechanism was added. Support
for __signed__ , __attribute, and __typeof__ keywords was added along with
support for conditional expressions with omitted operands.

Scientific/Engineering :: Mathematics
Software Development :: Libraries
About: The ATLAS (Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software) project is
an ongoing research effort focusing on applying empirical techniques in
order to provide portable performance. It provides C and Fortran77
interfaces to a portably efficient BLAS implementation, as well as a few
routines from LAPACK.
Changes: The MIPS double precision kernel was adapted to single. 32-bit
support (n32) was added for MIPS (assembly and config). UltraSPARC
assembly kernels used by architecture definitions were ported to the v9
ABI. Architecture definitions were added for building a 64-bit (v9) ABI
for Solarix/UltraSPARC. These new interfaces were documented in
atlas_contrib. A bug in atlas_prefetch was fixed. A MIPSICE9 prefetch
option, d/zgemm assembly kernels, and arch defaults were added. Support
for OS X/PowerPC970 was added.

[006] - check_logfiles 2.2.1
by lausser (http://freshmeat.net/users/lausser/)
Sat, Jun 2nd 2007 14:28
System :: Diagnostics
System :: Logging
System :: Monitoring
About: check_logfiles is a plugin for Nagios which checks logfiles for
defined patterns. It is capable of detecting logfile rotation. If you tell
it how the rotated archives look, it will also examine these files. Unlike
check_logfiles, traditional logfile plugins were not aware of the gap
which could occur, so under some circumstances they ignored what had
happened between their checks. A configuration file is used to specify
where to search, what to search, and what to do if a matching line is
found.
Changes: Scripts can now be embedded Perl code references. Scripts can be
declared as smart or supersmart, so their exitcode influences the overall
result of the plugin.

Security
Utilities
About: integrit is an alternative to file integrity verification programs
like tripwire and aide. It helps you determine whether an intruder has
modified a computer system. integrit's major advantages are a small memory
footprint and simplicity. It works by creating a database that is a
snapshot of the most essential parts of your computer system. You put the
database somewhere safe, and you can then use it to make sure that no one
has made any illicit modifications to the computer system. In the case of
a break in, you know exactly which files have been modified, added, or
removed.
Changes: This version fixes exit status codes when just "missing files"
are found.

Sat, Jun 2nd 2007 14:25
Desktop Environment :: K Desktop Environment (KDE)
Utilities
About: KThinkBat is a laptop battery monitor for the KDE-Kicker. It is
inspired by the "Battery Maximizer" included with Levono (former IBM)
ThinkPads. Although there are allready some battery monitor applications
for the K-Desktop Environment, they ar mostly too small to see the current
battery charge at a glance. Features include display of current battery
strength as a percentage, and visually as a gauge, display of the current
online/offline state, and display of current power consumption. It has
support for a second battery. On ThinkPads, it can use the SMAPI BIOS
interface.
Changes: There are a lot of changes in the usability area of KThinkBat,
especially in the configure dialog. The configuration dialog was reworked
and more internal parameters are now configurable to fix an issue with
uncommon ACPI implementations. The dialog now has three tabs, and all
options were reordered to fit one of three categories: General,
Appearance, and Advanced. Users unsure about their concrete ACPI setup can
just leave the "override advanced settings" checkbox unchecked and should
be fine with KThinkBat's internal default settings.

About: OpenVRML is a VRML and X3D browser plug-in and C++ toolkit for
incorporating VRML support into applications. OpenVRML provides VRML97 and
Classic VRML X3D parsers, a runtime, and an OpenGL renderer as C++
libraries. The renderer is fully separate from the runtime library so that
users can also provide their own renderer.
Changes: A bug that prevented openvrml-player from starting unless the
OPENVRML_PLAYER_GLADEDIR environment variable was set has been fixed.

by A.J. Venter (http://freshmeat.net/users/datadictator/)
Sat, Jun 2nd 2007 15:29
About: OutKafe is a next-generation Internet cafe management suite. It was
forked from ZybaCafe with the aim of ultimately replacing all proprietary
parts with completely free components. It includes a server-side
administration suite as well as clients for managing time control on
machines. A powerful plugin architecture allows for easy extensibility and
integration with other tools such as accounting packages and CRM systems.
Changes: The application was ported to GTK2. Multiple crash bugs in the
counter were fixed. Layout and accounting bugs in the admin system were
fixed. A counter-window button layout bug was fixed. Fixes were made for
several LTSP related bugs. Handling of remote admin functionality was
improved. A bug with number entry in the sell-time dialog was fixed.
pid-storage support was added to outkafed.

About: recls is a multi-platform recursive filesystem searching library.
It presents a C API with mappings to C++, COM, D, Java, Python, and Ruby.
Changes: In the core, Recls_SearchFeedback() (and, hence, Recls_Search())
was fixed for the case when both searchRoot and pattern are NULL; general
fixes were made for Unicode compilation. In recls/C++, fixes were made to
namespace-exports for shims for Recls::Entry class. In recls/STL, general
fixes were made for Unicode compilation.

[034] - Richie Rich 0.3.1
by Iain Dooley (http://freshmeat.net/users/iaindooley/)
Sat, Jun 2nd 2007 00:52
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Browsers
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Office/Business :: Groupware
About: Richie Rich is an HTML document editor that runs within a Web
browser. Unlike other in-line HTML editors, this operates straight on the
DOM to avoid incongruities between what is visible in the front end and
the HTML that is created in the back end. It supports undo, mouse
selection, cursor positioning, and creation of headings, paragraphs,
lists, links, bold, italic, and underline.
Changes: This release featured increased usability. The sample page now
shows the editor in its own scrollable area, and the troublesome scroll
repositioning code was removed. You can 'preview' the page by clicking
outside the editor or by hitting 'esc'. It is now recommended that the
"backspace action" be disabled in Firefox. Instructions are on the Richie
Rich website.

by Kate (http://freshmeat.net/users/katef/)
Sat, Jun 2nd 2007 23:53
Software Development :: Code Generators
Software Development :: Compilers
About: Sid is an LL(1) parser generator. It can read grammars written in
more convenient forms and transform them to LL(1). The language-specific
actions are stored seperately from the grammar, which allows for multiple
languages in the future. Currently only C is supported.
Changes: This is the first release of Sid as a stand-alone project. It has
been moved out of the TenDRA compiler.

Education
Education :: Testing
Software Development
About: TAU (Tuning and Analysis Utilities) is a set of tools for analyzing
the performance of C, C++, Fortran and Java programs. It collects much more
information than is available through prof or gprof, the standard Unix
utilities, including per-process, per-thread, and per-host information,
inclusive and exclusive function times, profiling groups that allow you to
organize data collection, access to hardware counters on some systems,
per-class and per-instance information, the ability to separate data for
each template instantiation, start/stop timers for profiling arbitrary
sections of code, and support for collection of statistics on user-defined
events.
Changes: This release features support for profile snapshots, improved
Fortran support, multiple PerfDMF databases within ParaProf, Lahey 64 bit
compiler under Linux and SiCortex 64 and 32 bit architectures, clock
synchronization in trace files, support for metadata in ppk files and for
building charts, TAU portal scripts for uploading data, support for
persistent communication events in traces, and KTAU OS level shared
counter coupling. Also included are Eclipse/PTP updates for accessing TAU
options and build configurations.

[039] - udpcast 20070602
by Alain (http://freshmeat.net/users/alainknaff/)
Sat, Jun 2nd 2007 13:42
Communications
Communications :: File Sharing
Internet :: File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
About: UDPCast allows to send data simultaneously to many destinations on
a local net. This can for instance be used to install entire classrooms of
PCs at once. The advantage over using other methods (nfs, ftp, whatever) is
that udpcast uses Ethernet's multicast abilities: it won't take longer to
install 15 machines than it would to install 2. The tool comes with a
busybox bootdisk for easy loading of the tool. However, udpcast can also
be started from the command line of an already installed system, and can
be used for other purposes than just system installation.
Changes: The kernel was upgraded to 2.6.21.3 and busybox was upgraded to
1.5.1. The code was adapted to Solaris 10 x86 by adding includes and
configure checks. A patch was made to fix parallel make and make
DESTDIR=/tmp/xxx install. gcc4 warnings were addressed.

About: Video Contact Sheet *NIX (vcs for short) is a script that creates a
contact sheet (preview) from videos by taking still captures distributed
over the length of the video. The output image contains useful information
on the video such as codecs, file size, screen size, frame rate, and
length. It requires mplayer, ImageMagick (convert and montage), bc, and
ffmpeg.
Changes: An issue where the number of columns set by the user (-c) was
ignored when using the interval mode (-i and default behavior) was fixed.

Sat, Jun 2nd 2007 23:51
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Presentation
About: There are many photo-gallery programs available. Zoph is different,
as it concentrates on the management of large collection of photos instead
of just showing them on the Web. It can store a lot of information about
your photos, including the regular EXIF info, photographer, location,
title, description, rating, and the people in the photo. Photos can appear
in multiple albums and categories. Additional features include search,
slideshows, lightboxes, email, access privileges, and multiple languages.
Changes: The most notable new features are a JavaScript based
autocompletion function on the selector boxes for albums, categories,
places, and people; and new views for albums, categories, places, and
people, including a thumbnail view, giving you a preview of what's in that
folder.
