About: ACP is basically a wrapper for SSH and SCP that allows a user to

a single command on the "admin" host. It requires the fping program, as it
checks the specified hosts for connectivity, and will only try to run the
command on/copy files to hosts that are reachable.

completely on Java's I/O functionality to provide non-blocking support for
both SSL and non-SSL sockets (without having to know how to use SSLEngine).
All configuration is done via XML files, as this is easier to maintain. It
includes a minimal demonstration HTTP server.
Changes: HTTP POST was implemented. Several bugs that appeared when
testing POST were fixed. HTTPS is now working properly. The code is stable
for the last 0.5.x release.

Database
Database :: API
Software Development :: Libraries
About: jPersist is an extremely powerful object-relational database
persistence API that manages to avoid the need for configuration and
annotation; mapping is automatic. It uses JDBC, and can work with any

annotation is not needed. In fact, there is no configuration needed at
all.
Changes: A lot of testing has taken place and all supported platforms have
been tested. Some simple find bug and PMD fixes were made. Numerous changes
were made, including moving MySQL generated key processing to the other
"get last key" mode. DatabaseManager.loadObject() was renamed to
DatabaseManager.queryAndLoadObject(). Handling was added for setting null
values in the database when the getXXX method returns null. Support for
prefix/suffix stripping was added. A small but major error with not
cloning the database handler during updates was fixed.

Mon, Sep 24th 2007 10:32
System :: Boot :: Init
About: runit is a cross-platform Unix init scheme with service
supervision; a replacement for sysvinit and other init schemes. It runs on
GNU/Linux, *BSD, Mac OS X, and Solaris, and can easily be adapted to other

processes that re-parented to process number 1 (zombies) more thoroughly.
Instructions on how to use runit with upstart as an init scheme have been

message sent through UDP, and this release includes a build fix for AIX.
