[001] - Absolute OS 12.0.2
by Paul Sherman (http://freshmeat.net/users/psherma1/)
Wed, Aug 8th 2007 22:52
About: Absolute is a lightweight Slackware Linux derivative distribution
that uses an Icewm, ROX-Filer window/file manager combination. It comes
with Firefox, The GIMP, MPlayer, K3B, kTorrent, Gaim, Frostwire, Gftp,
StarDict, Skype, and many other titles all set up and ready to run.
Several utilities are included to ease configuration and management. It is
compatible with all Slackware 11 packages and can be installed just like a
Slackware disk, except that you cannot choose which packages to install or
remove, as it just installs everything.
Changes: An issue where rebooting with a SATA drive caused Absolute to
wipe its entry in fstab was fixed. clearFstab, a script used to wipe fstab
entries of mountable devices due to switching between auto and non-auto
mounting was fixed. Ndiswrapper was updated due to a compilation error. A
Getting Started document shortcut is now included on the user desktop as
well as the root desktop. A 1st_RUN_INFO.html file with some appropriate
facts was provided. A duplicate version of linux-wlan-ng was removed. grub
has been removed for the time being.

Mac OS X DMG disk image. Additionally, the improved persistent mouse
movement mode uses a dynamic mouse cursor that shows direction and speed
of rotation, making that movement mode more intuitive and useful. Several
minor bugs have also been fixed.

[015] - deco archive file extractor 0.4.1
by P. Hartlich (http://freshmeat.net/users/phartlich/)
Wed, Aug 8th 2007 10:16
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. Dozens of archive file extensions are supported out of the
box, and adding support for others requires very little work.
Changes: Portability was improved: deco should now work on the SVR3 Bourne
shell.

acceleration via OpenGL. You can use G3D without GLG3D if you want to use
another 3D API (like DirectX) or don't like the OpenGL abstraction.
Changes: This release contains a hardware accelerated, skinnable OpenGL
GUI, a new user manual, a new unified build system for all platforms,
zipfile loading, and hundreds of other new features.

SSL) for one or more email accounts, and reliably delivers into
qmail-style Maildirs, mboxrd files, or through external MDAs (command
deliveries) specified on a per-account basis. getmail also has excellent
support for domain (multidrop) mailboxes, including delivering messages to
different users or destinations based on the envelope recipient address.
Changes: A fix for an exception when getmail is trying to report a POP3
server that completely missed generating a UIDL token for a message. .

Wed, Aug 8th 2007 06:11
Communications :: File Sharing
About: GSTorrent is a Bittorrent client/server system. A daemon program
handles all the file transfers as a Bittorrent client. The GSTorrent
daemon also acts as a server for an external GUI client. The objective is
to have a relatively small Bittorrent client, which runs on a small
computer without a graphical interface and to control this server from a
different machine. An example of this type of architecture is the mldonkey
client/server system for the edonkey protocol.

useful for embedding into a WYSIWYG HTML editor, a Web mail system, chat,
forum, or any other application requiring user input. About 70
languages/130 keyboard layouts are supported. It has an easy and powerful
design, allowing it to implement complex layouts like Korean, Japanese,
Chinese, and so on. It has full support for keyboard and mouse input. It
features a completely CSS-driven UI that is easy skinnable.
Changes: Some CSS issues in FF were fixed, as was selection offset
calculation and a bug with missing Enter translation in IE. The IME box
has been set to follow the cursor. Several features were also added: a
textarea scroll keeping feature for FF, layout-dependent CSS styling
(detailed in the bundled CSS files), detection of rtl layouts, and
automatic switching to rtl mode when such a layout is activated.

[060] - rsyslog 1.18.1 (Development)
by Rainer Gerhards (http://freshmeat.net/users/rgerhards/)
Wed, Aug 8th 2007 10:14
System :: Logging
About: Rsyslog is an enhanced multi-threaded syslogd. Among other
features, it offers support for reliable syslog over TCP and RFC 3195,
writing to MySQL databases, fully configurable output formats (including
great timestamps), the ability to filter on any part of the syslog
message, and on-the-wire message compression. It is designed as a drop-in
replacement for stock syslogd and thus is able to work with the same
configuration file syntax. Of course, some enhanced features require
changing the configuration file, but in general, this should be fairly
easy.
Changes: Most importantly, the release fixes a potential segfault on
HUPing rsyslogd as well as some other bugs. The size of the main message
queue can now be configured, which is especially useful in high-volume
environments with large traffic bursts. Also, the resume interval for
actions can be configured. Rsyslog now compiles and runs under Debian sid.
Performance has been tweaked a bit and a number of minor changes were made.

Security
Security :: Cryptography
System :: Networking
About: strongSwan is a complete IPsec and IKEv1 implementation for Linux
2.4 and 2.6 kernels. It also fully supports the new IKEv2 protocol with
Linux 2.6 kernels. It interoperates in both IKEv1 and IKEv2 mode with most
other IPsec-based VPN products. The focus of the strongSwan project is on
strong authentication mechanisms using X.509 public key certificates and
optional secure storage of private keys on smartcards through a
standardized PKCS#11 interface. A unique feature is the use of X.509
attribute certificates to implement advanced access control schemes based
on group memberships.
Changes: Source routes installed by the keying daemons are now in a
separate routing table with ID 100 in order to avoid conflicts with the
main table. Route lookup for IKEv2 traffic is done in userspace to ignore
routes installed for IPsec, as IKE traffic shouldn't get encapsulated. The
ipsec starter has become more tolerant to dynamic DNS lookup failures by
keeping the last valid IP address.

Foundation libraries and related client programs for the .NET platform.
Team Foundation is a collection of collaborative technologies that support
a team effort to deliver a product. This project currently focuses on the
SCM related libraries and tools. It includes a fairly functional version
of the TF client used to access the SCM capabilities of Team Foundation
servers. In some respects, its usability exceeds that of the standard TF
tool. It also includes some subcommands from the TF Power Tool, and
leverages the Gnome Keyring when available.
Changes: This release adds the "tf shelvesets" command (brief output
only), support for writable working folders, "tf help <cmd>" with display
of valid options for each command, the "tf branches" command (limited
testing), the "tf online <list of files>" option, the "tf diff /brief"
option, support for "tf add /recursive <path>", 20 new test cases for the
tf client program, a "tf help /list" helper for shell completion, a
progress indicator for GetCommand when setting permissions, the
History.StopAfter option, and many bugfixes.
