About: abcm2ps is a package that converts music tunes from ABC format to
PostScript. Based on abc2ps version 1.2.5, it was developed mainly to
print baroque organ scores that have independant voices played on one or
more keyboards, and a pedal-board. It introduces many extensions to the
ABC language that make it suitable for classical music.
Changes: Space at the end of a line was fixed. The new command
%%gracespace was added.

Software Development :: Embedded Systems
About: Beesoft Tracer is a suite of tools for remote debugging of running
programs. All elements are written in pure C++ using the STL library. The
communication between elements is via sockets: Unix domain socket and
TCP/IP.
Changes: This release implements conditional variables (pthread_cond_xxx)
in programs (tracesrv and trview) for better threads synchronization. Now
programs use less processor time. The main window of the GUI client saves
to disk its state, size, and position. These values are restored at
startup. In the GUI client, a user can declare more than one trace server.

[005] - Bos Wars pre2.4
by feb (http://freshmeat.net/users/francoisbe/)
Wed, Jul 4th 2007 14:32
Games/Entertainment :: Real Time Strategy
About: Bos Wars is a futuristic real-time strategy game. It is possible to
play against human opponents over a LAN, the Internet, or against the
computer. It successfully runs under Linux and MS Windows. It should also
run on BSD, Mac OS X, Darwin, and BeOS.
Changes: This version introduces a completely new rate-based economy.
Energy is produced by power plants and magma by magma pumps. Building also
consumes resources continuously instead of requiring an up-front payment.
With all these changes, the units have been rebalanced a bit, but more
tuning will probably come.

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: CD Audio :: CD Ripping
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: CD Audio :: CD Writing
System :: Archiving
About: cdrtools (formerly cdrecord) creates home-burned CDs/DVDs with a
CDR/CDRW/DVD recorder. It works as a burn engine for several applications.
It supports CD/DVD recorders from many different vendors; all SCSI-3/mmc-
and ATAPI/mmc-compliant drives should also work. Supported features
include IDE/ATAPI, parallel port, and SCSI drives, audio CDs, data CDs,
and mixed CDs, full multi-session support, CDRWs (rewritable), DVD-R/-RW,
DVD+R/+RW, TAO, DAO, RAW, and human-readable error messages. cdrtools
includes remote SCSI support and can access local or remote CD/DVD
writers.
Changes: The first step for adding Blu Ray support adds Blu Ray speed and
timing factors and a first skeleton-like Blu Ray driver for writing. Some
problems resulting from the change from libunls to libsiconv were fixed.
Some hints were added on how to hand-craft correct Linux include files to
allow compilation of cdrtools with Sun Studio 12 on Linux. The man page
was cleaned up for cdda2wav.

[009] - Config::Model 0.611
by Dominique Dumont (http://freshmeat.net/users/ddumont/)
Wed, Jul 4th 2007 04:26
Information Management :: Metadata/Semantic Models
Software Development :: Libraries :: Perl Modules
Software Development :: Quality Assurance
About: Config-Model provides a framework for validating the semantic
content of any configuration data. With a configuration model (data
structure), config-model provides a validation engine. An end user can use
a shell-like interface (à la readline) to enter configuration. Config-Model
includes a model example for fstab and a small fstab demo.
Changes: The way to specify complex warped rules was modified. The former
way, based on list of lists, was confusing. Now you can specify boolean
expressions to find the warp rule to apply. Config::Model will translate
declaration done with the old format, so the change is backward
compatible.

Wed, Jul 4th 2007 11:05
Games/Entertainment :: Role-Playing
About: FreedroidRPG is an isometric RPG game inspired by Diablo and
Fallout. There is a war, and we are losing it. No one really knows why the
bots started killing us. Most don't even want to know. The human race is
reduced to little more than a few isolated groups of people trying to
survive. Somewhere in a place known as Temple Wood, a hero is about to
wake up from a long sleep...
Changes: This version, mostly unchanged from -rc4, focuses on making the
development for the game easier, exports some hardcoded data into files,
makes the map editor a bit more usable, and has other major and minor
tweaks.

Database
Database :: API
Software Development :: Libraries
About: jPersist is an extremely powerful object-relational database
persistence API that manages to avoid the need for configuration and
annotation; mapping is automatic. It uses JDBC, and can work with any
relational database and any type of connection resource. It uses
information obtained from the database to handle mapping between the
database and Java objects, so mapping configuration is not needed, and
annotation is not needed. In fact, there is no configuration needed at
all.

Database
Database :: Database Engines/Servers
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
About: JPOX provides transparent persistence of Java objects. It fully
complies with the JDO 1.0 and JDO 2.0 specifications. It supports
persistence to all of the major RDBMS on the market today. It allows
querying using either JDOQL, SQL, or JPQL. It comes with its own byte-code
enhancer. Its 1.1.0 release is Sun's "Reference Implementation" for JDO
2.0. Its 1.2 release will implement the JPA 1.0 specification and support
persistence to DB4O. It is highly extensible using OSGi technology.
Changes: Full support was added for "ordered" Lists (JPA1). Support for
many JPQL functions was added. Support for sequences was added in HSQLDB.
More complete support was added for named sequences (JDO2). Full support
for JPA1 lifecycle events was added. Support for JDO 2.1 XSDs was added.
Support for optimistic transactions was rewritten, giving full support for
all common scenarios. Support for mapping Strings to BLOB in Oracle was
added. Support for cascade-persist=false (JPA1) was improved.
Persistence-by-reachability was upgraded to handle the majority of cases
at runtime rather than in metadata. Several bugs were fixed.

[019] - k5expire 2.1
by Nocturn (http://freshmeat.net/users/nocturn/)
Wed, Jul 4th 2007 03:58
System :: Systems Administration
About: K5expire is a tool to complement a Kerberos/LDAP server
combination. It checks all kerberos principals per user in LDAP for
password and/or account expiration and sends email to the owners if they
will expire in a preconfigured amount of time. It started as a hack to
emulate the behavior of expiration found in pam_unix and Windows, but this
method is believed to be less intrusive because it does not delay the login
process.
Changes: Support for XMLSensor output was added.

Wed, Jul 4th 2007 04:32
Communications
Desktop Environment
Software Development
About: NoMachine NX is a fast terminal server and desktop virtualization
system based on the X11 protocol. NX is an order of magnitude faster than
VNC or X11 and can run on bandwidth as narrow as 10 kBit/sec. In addition,
NX translates and embeds the MS Windows Terminal Server and VNC protocols
into X/NX, enabling users to compress and accelerate remote Windows and
VNC sessions. The NX project provides a suite of libraries and X11proxying
agents implementing efficient compression and optimized transport of X11,
SMB, IPP, HTTP, and arbitrary protocols like audio and video over the
Internet.
Changes: The NX Server Manager is now out of Beta. This release sports a
number of bugfixes and improvements, together with a redesigned GUI, new
panel interfaces to handle the user profiles and the server configuration,
and enhanced presentation of server statistics, even on multi-node
configurations.

[030] - Nuface 1.2.4
by Vincent Deffontaines (http://freshmeat.net/users/gryzor/)
Wed, Jul 4th 2007 11:07
Security
System :: Networking :: Firewalls
About: Nuface is a Web-based administration tool that generates Edenwall,
NuFW, or simple Netfilter firewall rules. It features a high level
abstraction on the security policy set by the administrator, and works
internally on an XML data scheme. Its philosophy is to let you agglomerate
subjects, resources, or protocols into meta-objects, and use those meta
objects to generate ACLs, which are then interpreted as netfilter rules by
Nupyf, the internal XML parser. This tool may easily be extended to support
firewall implementations other than Netfilter.
Changes: This release fixes a bug that would scramble destination NAT
rules when deleting any other NAT rule. It adds an HTML href to linked
objects so they can be directly edited.

[031] - Nuhe 0.03
by Tuomo Makinen (http://freshmeat.net/users/tjam/)
Wed, Jul 4th 2007 14:39
Internet :: Log Analysis
Security
System :: Logging
About: Nuhe is a rule based log monitoring system which is capable of
taking action when rules are matched againsts log activity. By default,
Nuhe runs in the background (as a daemon), but it can also be used in the
foreground in a log analyzer mode. Log analyzer mode just analyzes given
logs and prints results to stdout; no actions are taken when Nuhe is in
analyzer mode.
Changes: This release has reset string functionality for actions; reset
strings are used to discard associated events. This is quite useful, for
example, if one uses Nuhe to block multiple SSH connection attempts, but
wants Nuhe to reset the event if a successful SSH attempt is recognized.
With the "lastmsg" configuration parameter, this release will match the
syslog "last message repeated n times" string, and guarantees that every
line from the monitored log file will be processed. More support has been
added for the upcoming node manager. There are bugfixes and other changes.

System :: Networking :: Firewalls
System :: Networking :: Monitoring
About: Nulog is a PHP interface for the MySQL plugin for the ulogd
netfilter log daemon and for NuFW SQL logging (optional). It displays
hosts (or users) that recently broke packets on your firewall and the last
ports that were probed. A simple search function allows packets to be
searched by host or by a given port. Nulog was formerly known as
ulogd-php.
Changes: This release fixes a syntax error introduced in the previous
release, and adds a page that displays the history of users' sessions.

[033] - OpenCms 7.0.0
by Alex Kandzior (http://freshmeat.net/users/alekan/)
Wed, Jul 4th 2007 14:37
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management
About: OpenCms is a professional level open source Web site content
management system. OpenCms helps to create and manage complex Web sites
easily without knowledge of HTML. An integrated WYSIWYG editor with a user
interface similar to well known office applications helps the user create
the contents, while a sophisticated template engine enforces a site-wide
corporate layout. OpenCms is based on Java and XML technology, so it fits
perfectly into almost any existing modern IT infrastructure. OpenCms runs
in a "full open source" environment (e.g. Linux, Apache, Tomcat, MySQL) as
well as on commercial components (e.g. Windows NT, IIS, BEA Weblogic,
Oracle DB).
Changes: This release contains many enhancements and improvements. New
features include the content relationship engine (CRE), which provides
full internal link management. Full WebDAV access to the content
repository is now possible. Users and Groups can now be managed in
"Organizational Units" (OUs). AJAX technology is used to make the
Workplace more responsive.

[036] - Postgrey 1.28
by David Schweikert (http://freshmeat.net/users/dschwei/)
Wed, Jul 4th 2007 10:57
Communications :: Email :: Filters
About: Postgrey is a Postfix policy server that implements greylisting.
When a request for mail delivery is received by Postfix via SMTP, the
triplet CLIENT_IP / SENDER / RECIPIENT is built. If it is the first time
that this triplet is seen, or if the triplet was first seen less than 10
minutes ago, then the mail gets rejected with a temporary error.
Hopefully, spammers or viruses will not try again later, even though such
behavior is required per RFC.
Changes: The logging format has been improved, and an important workaround
for problems of exchange in dealing with greylisted email messages has been
implemented. The whitelist has been updated, Exim support has been
improved, and a greylist pre-seeding tool has been added.

[044] - StreamCruncher 2.0 Beta
by Ashwin Jayaprakash (http://freshmeat.net/users/AshwinJ/)
Wed, Jul 4th 2007 11:04
Database :: Database Engines/Servers
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
System :: Monitoring
About: StreamCruncher is an event processor. It supports a language based
on SQL that allows you to define "event processing" constructs like
sliding windows, time-based windows, partitions, and aggregates. Such
constructs allow for the specification of boundaries (some are time
sensitive) on a stream of events that SQL does not provide. Queries can be
written using this language, which in turn can be used to monitor streams
of incoming events. It also provides a feature similar to materialized
views. Joins and sub-queries are also supported to allow event
co-relation. A database is used underneath to do the heavy lifting.
Pattern matching or multi-stream correlation are also possible.
Changes: This version is the result of a major refactoring job. The API
has been greatly simplified. The internal architecture has changed
considerably, resulting in a vast improvement in performance. The
TimeWindowFPerfTest (single Query on a Stream) can do 25,500 events per
second on a 1.6 GHz Centrino.

Terminals
Utilities
About: In a way similar to the classic Unix command "script" (in fact it's
a fork), this will open a TCP port to allow anyone to connect to it using
telnet and see in real time what you see on the terminal. Run "tcpscript",
tell your friend to connect, and he will see your terminal. There, "resize
-s LINES COLS" is helpful for curses programs in xterm; try to use
compatible terminals/emulators. An example use is to use 'vim' in it as a
blackboard over phone/chat calls.

System :: Networking
System :: Networking :: Firewalls
About: UCARP allows a pair of hosts to share common virtual IP addresses
in order to provide automatic failover. It is a portable userland
implementation of the secure and patent- free Common Address Redundancy
Protocol (CARP, OpenBSD's alternative to VRRP). Strong points of the CARP
protocol include its very low overhead, cryptographically signed
messages, interoperability between different operating systems and no
need for any dedicated extra network link between redundant hosts.
Changes: All known bugs from 1.2 should be fixed. Gratuitous ARP packets
should now be properly recognized by most ethernet switches. New options
have been added in order to read the secret key from a file and in order
to add arguments (like the virtual IP address) to up/down scripts.

[052] - XML From Plain Text 0.03
by Philip Hazel (http://freshmeat.net/users/ph10/)
Wed, Jul 4th 2007 04:23
About: xfpt is a program that reads a file of plain text that contains
relatively simple markup, and outputs an XML file. It is intended to
simplify the management of XML data. It is not a program that attempts to
turn a plain text document into XML. Markup within text is introduced by
ampersand characters, but is otherwise "soft". You can define what follows
the ampersand, for example, &" to generate a "quote" element. There is also
a macro facility that allows for higher level concepts such as chapters,
displays, tables, etc.
Changes: The macro library has been extended to include preface, appendix,
colophon, footnote, figure, and table. The program has one new directive to
enable it to handle "nested" sections such as footnotes.
