[018] - Enhanced TightVNC Viewer 1.0.19
by Karl Runge (http://freshmeat.net/users/runge/)
Mon, Oct 8th 2007 11:15
Desktop Environment :: Tools
About: The Enhanced TightVNC Viewer package is part of the x11vnc VNC
server project. It provides a native VNC viewer that takes advantage of
new features in x11vnc, e.g. cursor alpha blending and automatic SSL
tunnelling. Some features apply to any VNC server, e.g. automatic SSH
tunnelling. Another goal is to provide a package that conveniently bundles
everything needed for the user to have the enhanced viewer running quickly.
This includes pre-built binaries of the viewer and utility programs for
Windows and many Unix variants, and a GUI to configure and launch the
viewer. The short name for this project is "ssvnc", for SSL/SSH VNC
viewer.
Changes: Two new GUI modes are introduced: SSH-only (sshvnc) and
Terminal-Services (tsvnc). The SSH-only mode does not show any SSL related
options, and so is less distracting if you never plan on using SSL. The
Terminal-Services mode is also SSH-only, and it assumes that x11vnc 0.9.3
or later is available on the remote computer. With this assumption, it can
do a number of convenient things such as automatically find your desktop
session, create a desktop session if one is not found, set the session
type (KDE, GNOME, etc.), size, and color depth, enable remote CUPS
printing, VNC file transfer, etc.

Changes: A new class, MotherFusion, is used to perform automatic JOINs
between tables. SQLite support has been tested more deeply. The
mothermapper tool has been debugged a little bit, and its inline
documentation improved. Various bugs have been fixed, and an interactive
example is shipped with the tarball.

by Adam Bernstein (http://freshmeat.net/users/numbr6/)
Mon, Oct 8th 2007 09:01
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Editors
About: mpgedit is an MPEG 1 layer 1/2/3 (MP3), MPEG 2, and MPEG 2.5 audio
file editor that is capable of processing both Constant Bit Rate (CBR) and
Variable Bit Rate (VBR) encoded files. mpgedit can cut an input MPEG file
into one or more output files, as well as join one or more input MPEG
files into a single output file. Since no decoding or encoding occurs
during editing, there is no audio quality loss when editing with mpgedit.
mpgedit features command line, curses-based, and graphical interfaces. The
curses and graphical versions feature an interactive playback mode for fast
selection and verification of edit begin and end times.
Changes: Support for 64-bit platforms was added. Playback API stability
when playing multiple files was improved. The xmpgedit algorithm for
detecting and reprocessing partially decoded visualization files was
improved.

[043] - rr 1.3
by vade79 (http://freshmeat.net/users/vade79/)
Mon, Oct 8th 2007 11:10
Utilities
About: rr is a basic command-line utility designed to retain/recall file
and directory paths. This is done by treating the filename itself as a
unique key to be referenced for future rr program calls. The purpose of
this is to assist the user in shorthand typing and/or not having to
remember arbitrary full paths. So, for example,
"/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf" can be referenced as "// httpd.conf" in daily
operations.
Changes: When passing a blank value to rr, it would incorrectly output the
first retained value in ~/.rr; this has been fixed. Overly-generous
short-hand/partial matching of retained values, which crippled some of
rr's functionality, has been fixed. Now rr strictly searches for the whole
filename/directory first, then uses the generous partial matching as a
fallback. Minor miscellaneous code clean-up, changes, and error output
standardization.

[047] - Stunnix VBScript and ASP Obfuscator and Encoder 3.3
by Stunnix (http://freshmeat.net/users/stunnix/)
Mon, Oct 8th 2007 11:52
Internet
Software Development :: Code Generators
Software Development :: Compilers
About: Stunnix VBS-Obfus protects your VBScript code from potential
analysis, study, or reworking by unwanted parties. It's both an obfuscator
and encoder for the VBScript code. It converts the VBScript in raw .vbs
files, or in ASP or HTML pages into a highly obfuscated form, making it
extremely difficult to study, analyse, or reuse, while fully retaining
functionality of the original source code. It optionally adds expiration
and hostname checking. It has a lot of options to control all aspects of
code hiding, and has full support for all syntax constructs. It is
designed to be multi-module aware.
Changes: Now all markup inside an ASP file can be converted to calls of
response.write(), thus converting any ASP file into a single block of ASP
code without markup around it, with the ability to encode such a "huge"
block afterwards. A critical bug in the implementation of VBScript
encoding has been fixed. The GUI has been greatly polished, and is much
more intuitive.

Mon, Oct 8th 2007 14:02
About: The Syllable project creates a set of operating systems that
interact to deploy networks. Syllable Desktop is a complete desktop
operating system that is exceptionally powerful, fast, and easy to use. It
has its own kernel, filesystem, GUI, and applications. Syllable Desktop is
based on AtheOS, is largely POSIX.1 compliant, and uses many of the GNU
utilities. Syllable Server is a server operating system built to be
similar to Syllable Desktop, but on the Linux kernel.
Changes: This release provides a text mode Linux environment, but also
contains a preliminary graphical environment built on the framebuffer
device, with DirectFB and SDL on top. The installation procedure is short,
but is still manual. Included are tools such as a graphical Web browser, a
file manager, and an editor. One thing Syllable Server is designed for is
to function as a lightweight virtualisation platform for running other
operating systems (or multiple instances of itself). The QEmu
virtualisor/emulator is included, and the KQEmu Accelerator kernel module
is integrated into the system.

the client. Debugging data may be dumped to /tmp/dump.txt using -D. xterm
resize management was improved. Character passing in "terminal mode"
(emacs and vim work perfectly) was improved. The nohup option works
better, doing the same as coreutils' nohup does.
