About: Agilian is a complete modeling environment designed for applying
agile modeling. Agilian removes the limitation of notations. Architects,
project managers, analysts, designers, and developers can express their
ideas freely with any notation which is suitable.
Changes: This release added branch and tag capability to the VP Teamwork
Server with Subversion and CVS repository integration. This allows
different modeling projects to be run in parallel while keeping the
release quality project stable in the trunk. A User Interface Designer was
introduced for creating screen mock-ups in the early stages of a software
development project. Usability of the Sequence Diagram was increased.
There were also a number of enhancements for various other features.

[007] - DutchPIPE 0.3.0
by Lennert Stock (http://freshmeat.net/users/lennert/)
Sat, Aug 4th 2007 00:14
Communications :: Chat
Games/Entertainment
Games/Entertainment :: Multi-User Dungeons (MUD)
About: DutchPIPE allows Web developers to make virtual multi-user "avatar"
environments. Each Web page becomes an abstracted environment or location
where visitors and other items on the page are visualized. This status is
retained as visitors move around. A lot of real-time interaction is
possible, resulting in persistent interactive page environments. DutchPIPE
uses AJAX and the DOM for the browser, and it works without Java, Flash,
plugins, or firewall adjustments.
Changes: You no longer need to type commands - all actions can now be
performed using a the mouse. The input field is no longer shown by
default, and when shown is used for page chat. The addAction method in
DpObject was made even more powerful. Proper dynamic updates of the
inventory window occur when taking and getting stuff, and in the
inventory/shop list window when selling and buying stuff, including
updates of credits. Inactive Avatars are now "ghosted". Testing and
debugging was performed for all major browsers.

decoding, resulting in C functions for the Web services APIs. It uses
libcurl to call the REST Web service, and libxml2 to manipulate the XML
responses. The library supports reading photo, tag, and comments
information, the photo upload and searching APIs, and writing tags and
comments. It provides utilities such as "flickcurl" to exercise the API
and "flickrdf" to get RDF metadata descriptions out of photos, tags, and
machine tags.
Changes: The Flickr searching and contact APIs were added, the upload API
was improved, and several additional photo API methods were added for
setting file permissions and content types.

[010] - Hecl 20070803

Software Development :: Embedded Systems
Software Development :: Interpreters
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
About: The Hecl Programming Language is a high-level scripting language
implemented in Java. It is intended to be small, extensible, extremely
flexible, and easy to learn and use. It is intended as a complement to the
Java programming language, not a replacement. As such, it tries to do well
what Java doesn't, and leaves those tasks to Java for which it is best
suited. It is also easy to add Hecl to Java, or write new Hecl commands in
Java. It aims to be a very immediate language so that you can pick it up
and start doing useful things with it quickly. Of particular interest is
the fact that it's small enough to run on Java-enabled cell phones, so you
can quickly script applications for them!

Sat, Aug 4th 2007 11:33
Desktop Environment :: K Desktop Environment (KDE)
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio
About: Kirocker is a Kicker applet that displays what you listen to in
Amarok. With this panel applet, you always know what you are listening to,
and can watch its cover and star rating: it is always visible. It allows
you to rate your music with one click: you can quickly change the number
of stars of your music from anywhere on your desktop. Finally, it let you
remotely control Amarok with one click from anywhere on your desktop: play
next or previous track, pause, play, and seek to another position in the
current track.
Changes: Since 3.0, Kirocker Music Display got an even more useful full
screen display. It can be launched as a standalone application (without
needing the panel applet) or via an Amarok context-menu script. It
displays the current date and hour. Blinking window taskbar entries are
shown to indicate activity. The next playing songs are shown. A lot of
bugs have been fixed. The support for last.fm and radio streams is
especially interesting.

prelude-manager servers and allows users to filter received events so they
can provide specific actions for specific events. Support for filtering
plugins allows users to hook into different places in the Manager to
define custom criteria for alert relaying and logging.
Changes: The configuration template was updated and documentation for
Prelude generic TCP options was added. The Prelude-Manager IDMEF messages
were normalized. IPv4/IPv6 address normalization was improved. IPv4 mapped
IPv6 addresses are now mapped back to IPv4. Various bugs were fixed.
