[035] - Prelude Manager 0.9.10

Tue, Oct 2nd 2007 10:27
Security
System :: Monitoring
About: Prelude-Manager is a high-availability server that collects and
normalizes information from distributed Prelude-IDS sensors and stores
them in a database (or any kind of user-provided media). It is part of
Prelude, a hybrid Intrusion Detection framework implementing an open
communication layer for use by any security application. Prelude-Manager
also provide the ability to relay received events to one or several other
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: This release makes threshold act like a real threshold: pass
every Nth events in the defined amount of seconds. It allows mixing Limit
and Threshold. It does not share the thresholding hash across thresholding
plugin instances: previously, the shared hash would result in strange
thresholding plugin behavior if you had several instance of thresholding
loaded. Various bugfixes concerning plugin instance unsubscription
(unsubscription of certain plugins was not triggered).

amount by adding a plus or minus in front of the percentage by which you
want it adjusted, e.g. +3 or -10. The "addfile" command was depreciated

[045] - Strasheela 0.9
by Torsten Anders (http://freshmeat.net/users/tanders/)
Tue, Oct 2nd 2007 14:09
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 brings real-time capabilities to Strasheela: it
provides constraint solvers supporting a timeout and an OpenSound Control
interface. An example demonstrates how Strasheela can interoperate with
other applications such as Supercollider or Pure Data in realtime. Further
additions and bugfixes have been made to the system as well.
