About: CacheGuard is a Linux-based operating system dedicated to Web
traffic control and optimization. It transforms an x86-based machine into
a powerful, affordable Web gateway appliance. It allows you to control all
Web traffic that passes through a CacheGuard appliance. It proxies HTTP,
HTTPS, and FTP. It supports HTTP transparent implementation, HTTP
compression methods, caching technologies, and user-defined URL black- and
whitelists. It features a stateful firewall with NAT and PAT. It integrates
a caching DNS, a DHCP server, a bandwidth shaper to manage the QoS, a load
sharing system, and an HA (high availability) mode with VRRP. A command
line interface allows you to configure the appliance easily. SSH-based and
secure Web-based administration interfaces are also provided.
Changes: QoS bandwidth shaping works properly for all types of traffic.
The syntax of the command "qos" has changed. QoS management can be
deactivated using the command "mode". The "fw" command has been renamed to
"firewall". This is an intermediate version before a main one supporting
the reverse mode. The reverse mode is called "rweb", and some related
commands are already integrated into the present version (but the "rweb"
mode is not yet operational).

in what it can do. It can draw, move, and delete points, lines, and arcs.
Points can be merged with each other. There is a highlighting system and a
constraint satisfaction system with a wide variety of implemented
constraints. Data is loaded and saved using the basic Java "Serializable"
interface. There is a library area for existing drawings. Instances of
existing drawings can be included into other drawings.

by Florian Forster (http://freshmeat.net/users/flocto/)
Mon, Jun 4th 2007 04:20
System :: Monitoring
System :: Networking :: Monitoring
System :: Systems Administration
About: collectd is a small daemon which collects system information every
10 seconds and writes the results in an RRD-file. The statistics gathered
include: CPU and memory usage, network interface traffic, and system
temperatures (using lm-sensors). In network mode, clients multicast their
values over the network to servers which write the RRD-files.
Changes: The plugin architecture has been changed to move more
functionality out of the daemon and into plugins. The network code has
been improved to be smaller, more flexible, and forward compatible. A
plugin for Nagios allows the use of collected values for monitoring
purposes. Interfaces for external plugins have been added, such as a UNIX
domain socket, the execution of arbitary binaries and scripts, and an
experimental Perl plugin that is basically the equivalent to Apache's
mod_perl. New statistics plugins are the entropy, irq, iptables, and nut
plugins.

by jeroen (http://freshmeat.net/users/jvz/)
Mon, Jun 4th 2007 23:34
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
Software Development :: Widget Sets
About: FOX is a C++-based toolkit for GUI development. It includes a rich
set of widgets and has powerful yet simple layout managers, MDI widgets,
and mega-widgets. FOX incorporates support for XDND for drag and drop, X
clipboard and X Selection, watching other I/O channels and sockets, timers

[022] - FreeVMS 0.3.6
by JKB (http://freshmeat.net/users/jkb/)
Mon, Jun 4th 2007 07:16
System :: Operating System Kernels
About: FreeVMS is an OpenVMS-like operating system which can run on
several architectures like i386, PPC, Alpha, and many others. It consists
of a POSIX kernel and a DCL command line interpreter. The only
architectures currently supported are i386 and x86-64.
Changes: The sysman utility uses io load, but no practical driver is
loaded yet. The driver interface now bears a closer resemblance to the one
from VMS (and the mailbox driver uses it). Disk device naming was changed,
so where partition 1 and 2 were called dqa1 and dqa2, now they are called
dqa001 and dqa002. The backup utility had a gets buffer overflow
vulnerability. The CLI routines and analyze/system examine had a number
handling problem. The getdvi return length was missing, and a fix was made
for return length size. Instability due to some pte zeroing in p1pp
initialization was fixed.

System :: Hardware
About: Gizmo Daemon is a program for controlling your computer based on
events from input devices. It has built-in support for all Linux input
devices, including keyboards with special keys, joysticks, remotes, dials,
and more. It lets you control applications, launch programs, change the
system volume, switch desktops, and directly control Amarok. It can
visualize system events (such as Amarok sound output, CPU usage, etc.) on
capable devices (keyboards with LEDs, Griffin PowerMate, etc.). It also
features support for LIRC and RF based remote controls, allowing it to
have per-application key mappings and configurable sensitivity settings.
Changes: This is largely a maintenance release which brings some 64-bit
fixes, configure script updates, and other bugfixes. Along with these
minor changes, the script API has been revamped again. It's even more
Pythonic, and it's now much easier to create custom device and application
scripts. There are some base classes from which scripts can inherit to gain
desired functionality.

a production environment do not need to be altered to change the amount of
logging they produce.
Changes: This releases fixes support for using log4j properties and
several other minor issues. More unit tests were added, as was additional
error checking needed for the unit tests to pass.

About: Star is a very fast, POSIX-compliant tar archiver. It saves many
files together into a single tape or disk archive, and can restore
individual files from the archive. It includes command line interfaces for
the "tar", "Sun-Tar", "cpio", "pax", and "gnutar" command-line syntax. It
includes a FIFO for speed, a pattern matcher, multi-volume support, the
ability to archive sparse files and ACLs, the ability to archive extended
file flags, automatic archive format detection, automatic byte order
recognition, automatic archive compression/decompression, remote archives,
and special features that allow star to be used for full and incremental
backups. It includes the only known platform independent "rmt" server
program.
Changes: The new -install option allows star to implement undocumented
cpio behavior that carefully installs executable files on a live system.
star/gnutar/suntar now support the new -X option. Many "forgotten" options
are now supported in the "suntar" emulation. suntar/tar -x now behaves
exactly as with a historical UNIX tar implementation. Trying to better
work around some broken Linux kernel include files. Support for FreeBSD
was improved. The man pages for librmt were updated. The STARvsGNUTAR file
was updated.

About: Wikidbase is a powerful and highly flexible combination of two
structural extremes of data management systems: a wiki and a database. As
such, it has all of the flexibility of a wiki (e.g. any kind of
unstructured data can be stored) and the structural data capabilities of a
database (e.g. data may be modeled similarly to database fields, tables,
and relations, such that structural reports can me made of that data). The
functionality is combined in such a way that this general-purpose data
management system may be shaped easily without the need of a database
expert into a custom data management application such as a contact
relation management (CRM) system, a knowledge base, a shared calendar
system, a project management system, etc.

About: zfec is a fast, portable, and programmable implementation of
erasure coding. It includes a C library, a Python library, and a
command-line tool. Erasure coding is also known as "forward error
correction", which is the generation of redundant blocks of information
such that if some blocks are lost then the original data can be recovered
from the remaining blocks. The RAID-5 algorithm is an erasure code, but
while RAID-5 can recover from the loss of any one element, zfec can be
parameterized to choose in advance the number of elements whose loss it
can tolerate.
