  Fri, Jun 15th 2007 10:45

Communications :: Email
Communications :: Email :: Filters
Communications :: Email :: Mail Transport Agents

About: hermes is a generic, transparent and multi-platform  anti-spam SMTP
proxy that uses a combination of  techniques (like greylisting, throttling,
DNS white/blacklisting, SPF, etc.) to stop spam from reaching your mailbox.
Many mailboxes see a 98% spam reduction with no false positives, as hermes
is not filtering email based on content, but on strict adherence to the
SMTP standards. It's also compatible with most SMTP extensions like
STARTTLS (for SSL security) and SMTP-AUTH (for  user authentication).

Changes: This release adds SPF support (for from authentication), DNS
whitelisting (avois greylisting on whitelisted hosts), and a new logging
format (logs all connections, even the ones dropped because of throttling,
SPF, etc.). It has many new config options and bugfixes. Windows timezones
should be correct now, and the file logger has been improved.

  Fri, Jun 15th 2007 13:58

Software Development :: Testing

About: The pTest framework is an Object Oriented PHP 5 testing framework.
It differs from other testing frameworks in that it doesn't suffer from a
dogmatic following of JUnit. A good feature of this framework is that it
can be as easily used from the command line as embedded and extended by
your application. Tests are easy to write, and don't require naming
conventions or other code changes.

Information Management
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Indexing/Search
Software Development :: Libraries :: Perl Modules

About: Search::Xapian is a Perl XS frontend to the Xapian C++ search

Information Retrieval model as well as a rich set of boolean query
operators. It's fast and scalable to hundreds of millions of documents.

Changes: This release wraps the new optional argument to
Xapian::Database::allterms_begin(), and adds a workaround for a problem
where some objects could be garbage collected by Perl while still being
used by the C++ code.

  Fri, Jun 15th 2007 03:30

Database
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Security

About: sqlmap is an automatic blind SQL injection tool which can perform
an active database management system fingerprint, enumerate entire remote
databases, and much more. The aim of this project is to implement a fully
functional database management system tool which takes advantage of Web
application programming security flaws which lead to SQL injection
vulnerabilities. 

Changes: A DBMS fingerprinting method based upon HTML error messages
parsing was added. This method is defined in lib/parser.py and reads an
XML file defining default error messages for each supported DBMS.
Extensive DBMS fingerprint checks for Microsoft SQL Server were added,
based upon accurate "@@version" parsing and matching on an XML file to get
the exact patching level of the DBMS. Support for real time calculation of
query ETA (estimated time of arrival) was added. Support was added for
extracting a password hash for database management system users on MySQL
and PostgreSQL.

Additionally, there are some minor bugfixes, such as fixes for compiling
under different Linux distributions.

Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks

About: The Yana Framework is a component framework for developing PHP
applications. It can be expanded with your own plugins (components). It
includes skin and template support, multiple languages (German and English
by default), mature administration functionality, multiple installation
profiles, user login and administration, a database API based on PEAR-DB
that also offers database schema support, and a GUI/code generator for
your own plugins. It also includes an easy to use query tool that
automatically maps database commands to a flat file if no database support
is available. Plugins provided with this software are a guestbook, an RSS
to HTML converter, and a search engine.  Complete (German) documentation
is included.

Changes: This update provides a new default skin, which comes with a
cleaner and more attractive interface. The user administration panel has
been worked on as well, and comes with a refreshed look and feel.
Developers will find a new useful feature that allows custom links to be
created on columns of a database table. The SDK will use this feature by
creating links on foreign keys automatically, which automatically jump to
the referenced datasets on the foreign table when you click on the link.
This update also improves stability and reliability of the program as a
whole.
