[001] - Allegro 4.2.2 (Stable)
  by Grzegorz Adam Hankiewicz (http://freshmeat.net/users/gradha/)
  Sun, Jul 22nd 2007 05:33

Games/Entertainment
Multimedia :: Graphics
Software Development :: Libraries

About: Allegro is a multi-platform game library for C/C++ developers that
provides many functions for graphics, sounds, player input (keyboard,
mouse, and joystick), and timers. It also provides fixed and floating
point mathematical functions, 3D functions, file management functions,
compressed datafile, and a GUI. 

Changes: Support for the Digital Mars C compiler was added. Mac OS X
support was improved. Some bugs in the Windows GDI and DirectX code were
corrected. The code for application switching in both Windows and Linux
ports was made more robust. Rendering bugs in stretch_blit() and polygon()
were fixed. Now load_bios_font() correctly handles 8x16 fonts. The
is_trans_font() and font_has_alpha() functions were added. Many more
bugfixes and overall improvements were made.

[002] - Andy's PHP Knowledgebase 0.82 
  by KeyMonkey (http://freshmeat.net/users/keymonkey/)
  Sun, Jul 22nd 2007 23:56



About: Andy's PHP Knowledgebase is a database-driven knowledge base
management system. It features bookmark friendly URLs, easy search with
browsing by category, article submission, and a professional and
attractive interface. It is intended to be used to store, manage, and
update article content for a knowledge base, but is very customizable and
enables any number of creative uses.

Changes: This release includes improvements to input filtering for article
submissions and article searching.

[003] - argtable 2.7 
  by Stewart Heitmann (http://freshmeat.net/users/sheitman/)
  Sun, Jul 22nd 2007 09:24

Software Development :: Libraries

About: Argtable is an ANSI C library for parsing GNU style command line
arguments, as in "foo -abc -o myfile --help --count=7". It enables a
program's command line syntax to be defined in the source code as an array
of argtable structs. The command line is then parsed according to that
specification, and the resulting values are returned in those same structs
where they are accessible to the main program. The default parsing,
validation, and error reporting routines may be replaced by user-defined
callbacks if desired, and new argtable data types may be created to parse
user-defined argument types. The parsing itself is done using GNU getopt
and so is 100% GNU compatible.

Changes: This release adds some additional foolproofing in the arg_xxxn()
constructor functions. It also fixes a bug in arg_parsearg() that is
specific to TI DSP platforms, and a bug in the arg_dbl() constructor that
is specific to Solaris platforms.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP

About: Baygrab is a script to download all images for a given tag or album
from the bayimg.com site. It will identify images from the same archive and
collect them into a subfolder. 

Changes: Usage information was added. The target to be downloaded can now
be specified by an URL. Cleanup and bug fixes were done.

  Sun, Jul 22nd 2007 09:30

Software Development :: Version Control
Software Development :: Version Control :: Subversion

About: Bazaar Subversion Plugin is a Bazaar plugin that adds support for
foreign Subversion repositories. This allows committing changes to
Subversion branches as if they were native Bazaar branches.

Changes: Fixes compatibility with Bazaar 0.18.

[007] - bftpd 1.9.2 (Development)
  by Slicer (http://freshmeat.net/users/slicer/)
  Sun, Jul 22nd 2007 13:47

Internet :: File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

About: bftpd is a very configurable Linux FTP server which can do chroot
without special configuration or directory preparation. It will work
out-of-the-box with almost no configuration required, and works on all
Unix variants tested. Most FTP commands are supported, and user
authentication is done via passwd/shadow or PAM. tar/gzip on-the-fly is
supported.

Changes: This release adds some checks to avoid minor bugs in memory
handling.

[008] - Bitgate Server Software Environment 0.4.2 
  by Ken Hollis (http://freshmeat.net/users/Tsuichi1/)
  Sun, Jul 22nd 2007 04:59

Internet

About: Bitgate Server Software Environment aims to build a multi-protocol
environment in which server protocol handlers can be eventually loaded and
unloaded on the fly using a center console or controller Web page. It aims
to have 99.9% uptime, and have high-availability (Java 6) compliance. It
is written in Java 5, and relies completely on Java's I/O functionality to
provide non-blocking support for both SSL and non-SSL sockets
(transparently). All configuration is done via XML files, as this is
easier to maintain. It includes a minimal demonstration HTTP server.

Changes: A couple of bugfixes were done. More functionality was added to
the HTTP portion of the example code so that HTTP now properly displays
files, directory listings, and 404 errors on requests that are invalid.
MIME type detection and sorted output of directory listings were also
added. The code was fixed to disconnect clients after requests. This
doesn't honor keep-alive yet.

[009] - Blitz templates 0.4.23 
  by Alexey Rybak (http://freshmeat.net/users/alexeyrybak/)
  Sun, Jul 22nd 2007 13:44

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management

About: Blitz templates is a fast template engine written in C and compiled
as a PHP module. It started as a php_templates replacement, but developed
into much more. It is based on extensible template controllers (custom
view classes in PHP) and weakly-active templates (simple logic in HTML).
Benchmarks show that it is one of the fastest template engines for PHP,
even though it's not trivial and makes Web application closer to the MVC2
architecture model. It was designed for big Internet projects with a lot
of complex presentation logic.

Changes: Very important include-related changes were made. A template
included by the "include" directive (not "include method") will inherit
current context iterations. To make this work properly, one must use an
additional non-empty parameter "iterate_nonexistant" in parent "iterate"
or "block" calls (see comments in CHANGES and tests/include_ctx.phpt for
examples). Additionally, if there is a mix of numerical and non-numerical
keys in an iteration set, a warning will be generated and non-numerical
keys will be skipped. Several new tests were added and other minor fixes
were made.

[010] - BMP 0.40.0 RC3 
  by Milosz Derezynski (http://freshmeat.net/users/queuerunner/)
  Sun, Jul 22nd 2007 18:15

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Players

About: BMP is a media player which provides a very easy-to-use interface
and usage semantics for all tasks, while having extensive standards and
services support under the hood (MusicBrainz, Last.fm radio/scrobbling,
HAL, DBus), yet keeping the details out of the way of the user. 

Changes: Most changes in this release are fixes of severe bugs all over,
and UI/usability improvements. Other changes include multiple downloads
for podcast episodes, a "Playlist" component for playing files not in the
library, and a universal bookmarking system (working across all playback
sources). The Last.fm streaming protocol and Audioscrobbler Protocol 1.2
support was finalized and conforms fully to the specs. As another
long-standing user issue, the space-wasting header banner was removed.

[011] - Cibyl 11 
  by Simon Kagstrom (http://freshmeat.net/users/sys2066/)
  Sun, Jul 22nd 2007 05:33

Software Development :: Code Generators
Software Development :: Compilers
Software Development :: Libraries

About: Cibyl is a programming environment that allows compiled C programs
to execute on J2ME-capable phones. Cibyl uses GCC to compile the C
programs to MIPS binaries, and these are then recompiled into Java
bytecode. The programs are not parsed during runtime, and Cibyl is
therefore relatively well-performing. With Cibyl, games written in C can
be ported to J2ME without switching language.

Changes: The ability to inline certain function calls was added, which
greatly improves floating point performance. Exception handling has been
changed to match the native Java behavior, and various performance
optimizations have been implemented.

  by Sam Varshavchik (http://freshmeat.net/users/mrsam/)
  Sun, Jul 22nd 2007 14:12

Communications :: Email :: Email Clients (MUA)

About: Cone (COnsole Newsreader And Emailer) is a text-based email client.
It seamlessly handles multiple POP3 and IMAP accounts and local mail
folders. It is also a simple newsreader. It is designed to be foolproof
enough to be used by inexperienced users, but also offers advanced
features for power users.

Changes: This release fixes a bug in GPG signing of multi-part messages
whose main content contains 8-bit text.

[013] - Conges 1.4.0 
  by stephane gauchet (http://freshmeat.net/users/sgump/)
  Sun, Jul 22nd 2007 13:50



About: Conges is a Web application for vacation management. It allows
employees to set vacation periods and print customizable vacation papers.
It allows supervisors to modify, delete, and validate vacation periods. A
notion of groups is available, and each group supervisor can see a Gantt
diagram of the corresponding group of employees. 

Changes: To parametrize the weekly days off for each employee, default
days off are Saturday and Sunday. To create periodic events (each day,
each week, each month, etc.), each period's name is parametrized in the
admin pages. Some bugs have been fixed.

[014] - ctrlproxy 3.0.3 
  by Jelmer Vernooij (http://freshmeat.net/users/jelmervernooij/)
  Sun, Jul 22nd 2007 09:31

Communications :: Chat
Internet

About: ctrlproxy is an IRC server with multiserver support. It runs as a
daemon and connects to a number of IRC servers, then allows you to connect
from a workstation and work as the user that is logged in to the IRC
server. After you disconnect, it maintains the connection to the server.
It acts like any normal IRC server, so you can use any IRC client to
connect to it. It supports multiple client connections to one IRC server
(under the same nick), allowing you to connect to IRC using your IRC nick,
even while you have an IRC session open somewhere else. It supports logging
(in any user-specified format), password authentication, and CTCP (in case
no clients are connected).   IRC servers can be contacted over IPv6 and/or
using SSL. Automatic identification with NickServ is supported, as well as
various types of backlog. 

Changes: This release fixes a bug that sometimes crashed ctrlproxy on
connect. Idle time is now reset properly in auto-away. Several warnings
about unknown responses have been fixed. Portability to FreeBSD has been
fixed.

[015] - Database Bean Generator 2.1.3 
  by jespo (http://freshmeat.net/users/jespo2005/)
  Sun, Jul 22nd 2007 13:45

Database
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries

About: Generator is a command line application to facilitate the
construction of small applications that need some database objects. It
isn't a replacement for complex object persistence solutions, like
hibernate or TopLink, but it covers a different target: the little Java
Web applications that don't use sophisticated persistence options.
Generator invocation is simple: just type java -jar generator.jar -xml,
where the config file is an XML config file with the definitions to
connect to the database and generate the bean classes. You can also use
the Ant task.

Changes: Optionally, you may include the extra jars to get JSON support.
JSON output for finders and generic JSON output for general have been
added.

[016] - DBsight 1.4.4 (Upgrade)
  by Chris (http://freshmeat.net/users/chrislusf/)
  Sun, Jul 22nd 2007 23:40

Database
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Indexing/Search

About: DBSight is a J2EE search platform for instant scalable full-text
search on any relational database, for both beginners and experts. It
features a built-in database crawler following user-defined SQL,
incremental indexing, user-controllable result ranking, the ability to
return results with highlights (like Google), and categorized result
counts (like Amazon). It can easily integrate with other languages with
XML/JSON/HTML. There is a UI for all operations, so no Java coding is
necessary. Deleted or updated records in database can be synchronized
also. 

Changes: Keyword support was added for Number. Indexes in Server
Clustering mode are replicated when only deletion occurs. Security
checking for local requests is avoided. Lucene Query syntax in hybrid mode
is correctly analyzed. Index configuration and templates are downloadable
in IE.

[017] - deco archive file extractor 0.2.2 
  by P. Hartlich (http://freshmeat.net/users/phartlich/)
  Sun, Jul 22nd 2007 09:44

System :: Archiving

About: deco is a generic archive file extractor that has a consistent
command line interface ("deco 1.tar.bz2 2.zip 3.flac 4.rar 5.deb" will
just work) and consistent behavior (it never deletes archives after
extraction, extracts relative to the current working directory, and
extracts just verbosely enough, all unless explicitly requested
otherwise). It provides automatic handling of extractor gotchas by
creating an extraction directory if there is more than one file or
directory at the archive top level and by being able to fix strange
permissions. 33 archive file extensions are supported out of the box, and
adding support for others requires very little work. 

Changes: This release includes ANSI C tools that work with filenames
containing backslashes.

  Sun, Jul 22nd 2007 13:53

Information Management

About: Diet Tracker is a set of programs to help you keep track of your
diet progress online. It uses a MySQL database to store and display your
weight variations and calorie intake graphically as you progress in your
diet. 

Changes: History-based autocomplete functionality to the intake form
field. Optimized and secured SQL queries. Added/updated Javascript
(JQuery). Error checking in user entries. More statistics on the main
page. Uses the last entered weight for BMI calculation instead of
displaying 'not defined'. The HTML::Template Perl module does not need to
be installed. The dependency on frames has been removed. XHTML and CSS
have been cleaned up and validated to remove layout tables. Icons have
been added to clarify actions.

Adaptive Technologies
Security
Software Development :: Debuggers

About: DynAMOS is an on-the-fly kernel updating system that enables
commodity operating systems to gain adaptive and mutative capabilities
without kernel recompilation or rebooting. It employs a novel and
efficient dynamic instrumentation technique called adaptive function
cloning. Execution flow can be switched adaptively among multiple editions
of functions, possibly concurrently running. This approach becomes the
foundation for dynamic replacement of non-quiescent kernel subsystems when
the timeliness of an update depends on synchronization of multiple kernel
paths.

  Sun, Jul 22nd 2007 09:24

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Conversion

About: flac2mp3 is a Perl script to convert FLAC files to MP3 format. It
will process an entire directory tree and put the MP3 files in a similar
structure. Tags are converted where possible. It will only process a file
if the flac file is newer than the MP3 file or if the tags have changed.
If just the tags have changed then just the tags are processed, i.e. the
file does not have to be transcoded again. flac2mp3 comes bundled with all
the non-standard Perl modules required to run. It has been tested on Fedora
Core 4 with Perl v5.8.6 and on Windows XP with ActiveState Perl v5.8.7.

Changes: This release uses the FLAC MD5 checksum to determine whether or
not to transcode the file. It has a new "--pretend" option. It handles
multiple tags of the same type, e.g. multiple Artist tags. There are file
find improvements. Quoting of the flac/lame command has changed. The CPAN
modules distributed with the package have been updated. This release
transcodes to a temp file and renames if successful. It removes fork/exec
code and reverts to the "system" command. ALBUMARTIST and COMPILATION tags
have been added. "--noreplaygain" has been added to lame options. There are
various code clean-ups and bugfixes.

Internet :: Log Analysis

About: Free-SA is tool for statistical analysis of daemons' log files,
similar to SARG. Its main advantages over SARG are much better speed
(7x-20x), more support for reports, and W3C compliance of generated
HTML/CSS reports. It can be used to help control traffic usage, to control
Internet access security policies, to investigate security incidents, to
evaluate server efficiency, and to detect troubles with configuration.

Changes: Better support for different Postfix log files (still
experimental, but closer to stable). There are also some cross-platform
fixes and code improvements. New file extensions have been added for the
downloads report.

Other/Nonlisted Topic
Software Development
Software Development :: Embedded Systems

About: Funky is a tiny, embeddable programming language with almost
unlimited extending capabilities. It presents itself as a single class
that contains the entire interpreter. Two versions of this class exist:
Funky::Funky, a floating-point version, and Funky::Groovy, an integer
version. You can install your own functions in the language as long as
your functions take a vector of the built-in type of the interpreter and
return an instance of that built-in type (or a vector of those). Funky is
a functional programming language. As such, it treats everything as
functions, and those functions handle only one type: double in the case of
Funky::Funky, or int in the case of Funky::Groovy.

  Sun, Jul 22nd 2007 23:51

Multimedia :: Graphics :: Capture :: Scanners
Office/Business

About: gscan2pdf is a GUI to ease the process of producing PDFs from
scanned documents. You scan in one or several pages and create a PDF of
selected pages. Scanning is handled with SANE via scanimage. PDF
conversion is done by PDF::API2. Perl is used for portability and ease of
programming, with gtk2-perl for the GUI.

Changes: A bug in setting defaults was fixed. This bug was also
responsible for preventing the device-dependent options from being
displayed in certain circumstances. Options for unpaper are stored in the
settings. A fractional instead of a pulsing ProgressBar is used, and more
information is shown while a PDF is saving. A bug where spaces in the mode
were not escaped in the shell was fixed. A bug in parsing device-dependent
options (affecting some Brother scanners) was fixed. An option not to
restore window settings was added. An update was made to the French
translation.

  Sun, Jul 22nd 2007 23:54

Database
System :: Filesystems
System :: Logging

About: loggerfs is a FUSE-based virtual file system that automatically
parses log files and sends that information to a defined database.
Existing log parsers usually run periodically and scan the entire file for
changes. loggerfs takes a different approach by providing a virtual file
system. Whenever data is appended to a virtual file by the logging daemon,
the information is directly stored in the database. There is no need to
poll the file and monitor for changes. 

Changes: PostgreSQL database connections may now be cached. loggerfs now
first splits the input buffer by newlines, which means that you'll be able
to feed an existing log file into loggerfs by writing it to a file in the
filespace of loggerfs.

[057] - utf8proc 1.1.1 
  by Jan Behrens (http://freshmeat.net/users/jbehrens/)
  Sun, Jul 22nd 2007 09:46

Database
Software Development :: Libraries
Software Development :: Libraries :: Ruby Modules

About: utf8proc is a library for processing UTF-8 encoded Unicode strings.
Some features are Unicode normalization, stripping of default ignorable
characters, case folding, and detection of grapheme cluster boundaries.
The library can be used in C programs, but most of the functionality is
also available as a ruby library. For PostgreSQL, there is an extension
providing a function for preparing strings in case insensitive indices.
The currently supported Unicode version is 5.0.0.

Changes: This release adds a new PostgreSQL function 'unistrip', which
behaves like 'unifold' but also removes all character marks (e.g.
accents). It adds a new function 'utf8proc_codepoint_valid' to the C
library. The Ruby script, which was used to build the utf8proc_data.c
file, is now included in the distribution. The license has been changed
from BSD to MIT style.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: HTTP Servers
Software Development :: Testing
Software Development :: Testing :: Traffic Generation

About: WebLOAD is a solution for testing the performance of Internet
applications under load and stress. It features robust functionality, an
efficient architecture, extensibility, support, quality, and ease of use. 

Changes: This release mainly solves known issues that were raised on the

filter enables the user to filter the load session time and focus on a
specific part of the load session. A statistics filter enables the user to
filter according to any statistic reported on WebLOAD. A welcome screen
with a recorded quick start tutorial was added. Fixes were made to the
import process according to problems reported on few load session
examples. Some UI improvements were made to the sample report templates.

[060] - xterm patch #228 
  by T.E.Dickey (http://freshmeat.net/users/tedickey/)
  Sun, Jul 22nd 2007 18:33

Desktop Environment
Terminals :: Terminal Emulators/X Terminals

About: The xterm program is the standard terminal emulator for the X
Window System. It provides DEC VT102/VT220 and Tektronix 4014 compatible
terminals for programs that can't use the window system directly. If the
underlying operating system supports terminal resizing capabilities (for
example, the SIGWINCH signal in systems derived from 4.3bsd), xterm will
use the facilities to notify programs running in the window whenever it is
resized.

Changes: This release fixes regressions from #226 and #227. An old bug in
selecting wrapped text from scrollback has been fixed. The display of
multi-column characters has been improved.

[061] - ZDT 0.7.0 beta 2 
  by Chris Fong (http://freshmeat.net/users/bogleg20/)
  Sun, Jul 22nd 2007 23:37

Education

About: The ZDT (Zhongwen Development Tool) is a program written to help
users study Mandarin Chinese. Users can create their own word lists and
quiz themselves using three different flashcard modes. There is also a
dictionary that can be used to search through the built in CEDICT (and
optional Adso) databases. Users can input Chinese characters and get the
associated pinyin and English definitions through the Annotation function.
This makes it convenient to read blocks of Chinese text. The program is
built on top of the Eclipse RCP platform, which allows it to be extendable
through its plugin architecture. It runs on Linux, OS X, and Windows
platforms.

Changes: New features include interval based testing, custom import, and
flashcard session resuming. In addition, there were numerous other
bugfixes.
