Tue, Aug 7th 2007 11:29
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Browsers
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Indexing/Search
Security
About: A 'honeypot' is designed to detect server-side attacks. In
contrast, a 'honeyclient' is designed to detect client-side attacks.
Specifically, a honeyclient is a dedicated host that drives specially
instrumented applications to access remote servers to see if those servers
are behaving in a malicious manner (by compromising the client).
Honeyclients can proactively detect exploits against client applications
without known signatures. This framework uses a client-server model with
SOAP messaging as the primary communication method, and uses the free
version of VMware Server as a means of virtualizing the client
environment.
Changes: This release resolves ticket #68, which caused the program to
block you from starting a Manager process without initializing a database
(even if you disabled database support). To upgrade, simply download the
new HoneyClient-Manager-0.99.tar.gz package, as no other packages have
changed.

[031] - OpenDBX 1.3.4 (Development)
by Norbert Sendetzky (http://freshmeat.net/users/nsendetzky/)
Tue, Aug 7th 2007 05:46
Database :: API
Software Development :: Libraries
About: The OpenDBX library provides a unified and consistent API for
software developers to different database management systems. The function
library is written in the C programming language and aims at implementing
access to the native database interfaces efficiently via a thin
abstraction layer. It consists of a basic set of functions that are part
of all vendor database libraries and can be extended by additional
function blocks. Currently, Firebird/Interbase, MS SQL Server, MySQL,
Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQLite 2 and 3, and Sybase ASE are supported.
Changes: This release adds the C++ interface for the large object
functions, the missing Conn::getCapability() member function, and the
regression test code for libopendbxplus. For more control over loading the
backend modules, it's now possible to supply the full path to the backend
library as the first parameter to odbx_init(). Also, there was a change of
the parameter type of odbx_lo_open() as well as a change regarding the
visibility of the C++ class variables. Finally, the pgsql backend returned
partly wrong results for boolean values if odbx_field_value() was called
twice. This is fixed now.

[032] - Openwall Linux kernel patch 2.4.35-ow1 (Linux 2.4)
by Solar Designer (http://freshmeat.net/users/solardiz/)
Tue, Aug 7th 2007 22:46
Security
System :: Operating System Kernels :: Linux
System :: Systems Administration
About: The Openwall Linux kernel patch is a collection of security
"hardening" features for the Linux kernel. In addition to the new
features, some versions of the patch contain various security fixes. The
"hardening" features of the patch, while not a complete method of
protection, provide an extra layer of security against the easier ways to
exploit certain classes of vulnerabilities and/or reduce the impact of
those vulnerabilities. The patch can also add a little bit more privacy to
the system by restricting access to parts of /proc so that users may not
see what others are doing.
Changes: This release was updated to Linux 2.4.35.

[033] - Pantry 13
by massysett (http://freshmeat.net/users/massysett/)
Tue, Aug 7th 2007 05:59
Scientific/Engineering :: Medical Science Apps.
About: Pantry is a command line nutrient analysis program. It will help
you track your food intake and analyze recipes for their nutrient content.
Because it works entirely from the command line, it is very fast to use,
powerful, and flexible.
Changes: The Foods XML and Recipe XML files were merged into one file
format, now called Pantry XML. This simplifies the addition of new foods
and recipes, and makes the code a great deal simpler. Pantry now
internally tracks a recipe's ingredients, which allows you to get tidy
reports about a recipe's ingredients and other information.

[034] - phpMyID 0.6
by CJ Niemira (http://freshmeat.net/users/cniemira/)
Tue, Aug 7th 2007 11:26
About: phpMyID is a small, fairly lightweight, standalone, single-user
Identity Provider for OpenID authentication. It comprises a single PHP
script that can be used by one individual to run their own personal OpenID
"IdP." The program requires no external libraries, and has very minimal
requirements. It should run on almost any server that runs PHP 4 or 5. It
requires no database, and does not access the file system beyond session
handling.
Changes: This release should fix the outstanding (known) "bad signature"
errors, adds a number of refinements, includes a testing mode, and
provides support for a more versatile set of "big math" functions.

Tue, Aug 7th 2007 03:21
System
System :: Installation/Setup
System :: Systems Administration
About: Puppet lets you centrally manage every important aspect of your
system using a cross-platform specification language that manages all the
separate elements normally aggregated in different files, including users,
cron jobs, and hosts, along with obviously discrete elements like packages,
services, and files. Its simple declarative specification language provides
powerful classing abilities for drawing out the similarities between hosts
while allowing them to be as specific as necessary, and it handles
dependency and prerequisite relationships between objects clearly and
explicitly.
Changes: Bugs were fixed.

Software Development :: User Interfaces
About: relman is a tool that takes your source code, runs the build, and
distributes the packages. A configuration file allows you to define
application-wide defaults in addition to information particular to
individual projects such as the source directory, package name, and the
like. Once set up, you just have to call relman with the name given to the
project plus the version to release. It calls pkgmake to build .tar.gz,
deb, and .rpm files, and then distributes them using FTP and/or SCP all
in one run.

[040] - Seed7 2007-08-07
by Thomas Mertes (http://freshmeat.net/users/thomas_mertes/)
Tue, Aug 7th 2007 14:46
Software Development :: Compilers
Software Development :: Interpreters
About: Seed7 is a general purpose programming language. It is a higher
level language compared to Ada, C++, and Java. In Seed7, new statements
and operators can be declared easily. Functions with type results and type
parameters are more elegant than a template or generics concept. Object
orientation is used when it brings advantages and not in places when other
solutions are more obvious. Although Seed7 contains several concepts of
other programming languages, it is generally not considered as a direct
descendant of any other programming language.
Changes: The handling of local functions in the compiler (comp.sd7) was
improved. The function 'option' (to get compile time defines) was renamed
to 'configValue'. The compiler was improved to support the 'configValue'
function. The 'ord' function for enumerations was changed to work without
DYNAMIC. The changelog was reversed (sorted now from newest to oldest),
and old entries were added. The address of the FSF was changed in various
files.

[041] - sigma console fonts 0.01
by zarniwhoop (http://freshmeat.net/users/zarniwhoop/)
Tue, Aug 7th 2007 11:25
About: The sigma console fonts are a set of UTF-8 fonts which provide
readability and wide coverage. They include the "master" bdf file and
screen font map (.sfm) files to control what goes into a particular 'psfu'
font, so you can change the appearance of a glyph or create a selection
specific to your needs. For many people, the 'general' map will cover your
needs, but there are a number of other maps, including african, caucasian,
cyrillic (primarily for all live languages using a cyrillic alphabet), and
vietnamese. The bdf font itself is public domain, derived from etl16.

[044] - Strasheela 0.8.3
by Torsten Anders (http://freshmeat.net/users/tanders/)
Tue, Aug 7th 2007 15:11
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio
About: Strasheela is a highly expressive constraint-based music
composition system. Users declaratively state a music theory and the
computer generates music which complies with this theory. A theory is
formulated as a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) by a set of rules
(constraints) applied to a music representation in which some aspects are
expressed by variables (unknowns). Music constraint programming is
style-independent and is well-suited for highly complex theories (e.g. a
fully-fledged theory of harmony). Results can be output into various
formats including MIDI, Lilypond, and Csound.
Changes: This release greatly extends the available documentation. It now
comes with a tutorial (draft) and includes several examples with musical
output, an explanation of their underlying music theory, remarks on their
implementation, and the full source code. Substantial background
information on Strasheela is given by a monograph. Also, many additions
and bugfixes have been made to the system.

[051] - VRaptor 2.4
by Nico Steppat (http://freshmeat.net/users/steppat/)
Tue, Aug 7th 2007 03:19
Software Development
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
About: VRaptor 2 is a Web-based MVC and IOC framework based on many
frameworks and ideas (Seam, Stripes, Webwork, Hibernate Annotations, etc).
It makes full use of Java 5 Annotations. It favors convention over
configuration, because configuration in XML/properties/annotations is
always easy to make mistakes and repetitive (aka copy and paste in many
places). This framework uses a more imperative approach, instead of having
many XML files to configure lifecycle and other properties. Most of the
settings go inside plain Java objects (POJO), so the team knows exactly
what is going on and where.
Changes: This release comes with many improvements including a new Maven
plugin that automatically generates the vraptor.xml file. Projects based
on Maven 2 can now use mvn jetty:run. Objects in the new ScopeType.FLASH
will exist until the next request.
