Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
Software Development :: User Interfaces
About: Atomic OS is a responsive Web 2.0 operating environment and
development platform. Based on AJAX techniques, it emulates/provides
standard operating system features including a command line shell,
interpreter, filesystem, database access, and GUI services.

[002] - Automated Testing Framework 0.2
by Julio M. Merino Vidal (http://freshmeat.net/users/jmmv/)
Thu, Sep 20th 2007 23:26
Software Development :: Quality Assurance
Software Development :: Testing
About: ATF is a collection of libraries and utilities designed to ease
unattended application testing in the hands of developers and end users of
a specific piece of software. Tests can currently be written in C/C++ or
POSIX shell and, contrary to other testing frameworks, ATF tests are
installed into the system alongside any other application files. This
allows the end user to easily verify that the software behaves correctly
on her system. Furthermore, the results of the test suites can be
collected into nicely-formatted reports to simplify their visualization
and analysis.
Changes: Test cases now get a known umask on entry. atf-run and atf-report
now detect many bogus test programs and correctly report them. All the data
formats have been reviewed and stabilized. The atf-version tool was added
to show information about the installed version of ATF. Test cases can now
define an optional cleanup routine. Test programs have been improved to
capture some termination signals in order to be able to clean up temporary
files before exiting. There have been multiple fixes and improvements all
around.

Changes: Windows are now re-stacked correctly when maximizing. A bug when
resizing or moving with the mouse was fixed. A parsing error with the
default configuration file was fixed. Default font loading on error was
corrected. A heap overflow when using XRandR/XShape extensions was fixed.

About: CellWriter is a grid-entry natural handwriting input panel. As you
write characters into the cells, your writing is instantly recognized at
the character level. When you press 'Enter' on the panel, the input you
entered is sent to the currently focused application as if typed on the
keyboard. Writer-dependent, CellWriter learns your handwriting for
reliable recognition. Correcting preprocessor algorithms account for
digitizer noise, differing stroke order, direction, and number of strokes.
Unicode support enables you to write in any language.
Changes: An on-screen keyboard was added. The input code and interface
were reworked. Crashes on 64-bit systems were fixed.

strings were implemented, which allow for less jargon, easier language,

PDC, as a contact and customer database, as a project management tool, or
as any combination of these functions. It provides groupware (calendars,
contacts, and tasks) connectors for Outlook, Thunderbird/Lightning, and
PDAs. It supports internationalization and themes. It is highly scalable,
and is used by sites from five to many thousands of users.
Changes: The OBM-LDAP and OBM-Mail update systems have been rewritten to
allow finer grained updates. Administration can be delegated for a
population target. Some selectors are now implemented with AJAX to avoid
some popups. An organizational chart module has been added. Many
enhancements and fixes were made in the overall application.

[031] - OpenAIS 0.82 (Trunk)
by Steven Dake (http://freshmeat.net/users/stevendake/)
Thu, Sep 20th 2007 00:26
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
About: OpenAIS is an open source implementation of the SA Forum
(www.saforum.org) Application Interface Specification. The project
currently implements APIs to improve availability by reducing MTTR. APIs
available are cluster membership, application failover, checkpointing,
eventing, distributed locking, messaging, closed process groups, and
extended virtual synchrony passthrough. It is possible to write redundant
applications that tolerate hardware, operating system, and application
faults. Cluster software developers can write plugins to use the
infrastructure provided by OpenAIS.
Changes: Significant bugs in the Totem protocol have been resolved through
heavy community testing and involvement. A new logging and tracing system
was implemented. External plugins are now easier to develop and the proper
files are exported to the user. Serious problems in the synchronization
engine and plugin system have been fixed. Passive monitoring added to AMF.
A few cpg library API calls were added at community request. A timer system
rewrite was added.
