provide contributing nodes with better service. The primary service build
on top of the framework is anonymous file sharing.
Changes: This release adds support for non-anonymous downloads using
direct connections and a distributed hash table (DHT). Anonymous
file-sharing is still the default. Other noteworthy improvements include
support for namespaces to gnunet-gtk and visualization of previous
interactions with particular files (for example, showing whether a
download aborted or succeeded previously). The release also fixes various
bugs, including connectivity issues.

calling application manages state.
Changes: The performance test has been updated. This release builds
'buildable' archives, and includes support for primitive and complex
arrays.

[020] - Logapp 0.6
by Michael Brunner (http://freshmeat.net/users/mibrunner/)
Sun, Jun 17th 2007 13:20
Software Development
Software Development :: Build Tools
System
About: Logapp is a wrapper utility that helps supervise the execution of
applications that produce heavy console output (e.g. make, CVS, and
Subversion). It does this by logging, trimming, and coloring each line of
the output before displaying it. It can be called instead of the
executable that should be monitored; it then starts the application and
logs all of its console output to a file. The output shown in the terminal
is preprocessed, e.g. to limit the length of printed lines and to show the
stderr output in a different color. It is also possible to automatically
highlight lines that match a certain regular expression. The output is
therefore reduced to the necessary amount, and all important lines are
easy to identify.
Changes: This is mainly a cleanup release. The only new feature is
timeout-based line joining when working with streams that are not
received in line-by-line packages.

Sun, Jun 17th 2007 05:34
Information Management :: Metadata/Semantic Models
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Browsers
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Indexing/Search
About: SRESI is a smart bookmark manager. It currently sports both a
command-line and a PHP interface. It works with both the standard
hierarchical trees and the new and fashionable tagged bookmarks. It was
developed as a way to interface both representation systems. SRESI can use
Del.icio.us, Mozilla, Opera, and XBEL bookmarks, and handles a few more
exports besides. Directories and tags are used equivalently, and the final
hierarchies are inferred from actual tag use.
Changes: Tree generation in a cloud uses hints correctly. The
HTML+JavaScript output uses Torisugari's simpler and faster JavaScript
again. Hint parents are now integrated directly into the relevant
bookmarks. The Hint.database interface was massively reworked.

Sun, Jun 17th 2007 13:37
System :: Monitoring
System :: Systems Administration
Utilities
About: System Configuration Collector (SCC) is yet another configuration
collector. It consists of a client and a server part. The client collects
configuration data in a structured snapshot, compares the new snapshot
with the previous one, and adds differences to a logbook. Then the
snapshot and the logbook are converted to HTML for local inspection.
Optionally, the data can be sent to a system running the server software.
On the server, summaries of the data are generated, and search/compare
operations on the snapshots and logbooks are available via a Web
interface.
Changes: Several changes for distributions using busybox. Tags have been
added to tables and style.css. A -u option has been added to scc to allow
non-root users to pull files to a server. dmidecode is used to determine
the model of Linux systems. pkg_info is skipped during installation on
BSD systems. Correction for multiple instances of Apache on a single
system. A package for puppylinux has been added.
