client support and asynchronous DNS. Included in the library are a number
of HTTP client functions such as GET/PUT/POST, and also Web server
framework components.
Changes: Exceptions are thrown when Bind() or CreateSocket() fails.
GetSock* methods were added in Socket to retreive information about the
local port and address in a connection. InitializeContext was added in
TcpSocket with separate certificate and key files. Multiple calls to
recvfrom() in UdpSocket OnRead were removed. HTTPSocket was corrected.

[008] - checksysreport 1.0-1
by Pierre Amadio (http://freshmeat.net/users/pamadio/)
Mon, Oct 15th 2007 06:45
About: checksysreport performs some automatic tests against a directory
containing an untarred Red Hat Enterprise Linux sysreport. You will need a
valid Red Hat Network login in order to use it, as it fetches information
from RHN using the RHN API (see https://rhn.redhat.com/rpc/api/). A
graphical tool, yadarh, is also included: it uses the cache generated by
checksysreport to display RPMs in a given channel and lets you browse them
to have a list of errata and new entries in changelogs that come with other
versions of the same package.
Changes: A package release may be longer than 25 character. A filling
cache can cope with orphan channels. The rhnapiwrap listDependencies
method was added. A bug has been fixed where a diff changelog failed if
only one changelog was cached. The transaction isolation level has been
set to serializable when updating the cache for up2date packages.

easy connection to Internet mail. Citadel is both robust and mature; it
has been in production since 1987.
Changes: This version allows users to aggregate messages from remote POP3
services into a single Citadel mailbox. It also provides the necessary
"hooks" for use as a data store for Asterisk, enabling the "unified
inbox."

[014] - COllaborative DEvelopment SHell 0.9.0
by Trump Coup (http://freshmeat.net/users/bourilkov/)
Mon, Oct 15th 2007 14:01
About: The CODESH (COllaborative DEvelopment SHell) project provides an
automatic persistent logbook for sessions of personal command line work
by recording what and how is being done, for private use/reuse and for
sharing selected parts with collaborators. It is an intelligent shell
that automatically logs a user's command line (shell) session: commands,
scripts executed, output produced, changes to environment variables, alias
creation, and other information needed to recreate the session later.
Sessions are uniquely tagged and stored in local or distributed backend
repositories (flat file - ASCII - or CVS based) and can be extracted and
reproduced at any time by the user who created the session or by
collaborators located anywhere in the world.
Changes: This version introduces access to remote repositories for the
ASCII persistent backend for virtual sessions, based on SSH and SCP.
Access to remote hosts can be controlled e.g. by the use of public and
private keys. The standard create-codeshasciirepository.sh script can be
used to create repositories on remote hosts. The test suite is expanded to
check the functionality of the takesnapshot and getsnapshot commands.

Mon, Oct 15th 2007 06:47
Documentation
Education
Internet
About: The goal of Hilbert II, which is in the tradition of Hilbert's
program, is the creation of a system that enables a working mathematician
to put theorems and proofs (in the formal language of predicate calculus)
into it. These proofs are automatically verified by a proof checker.
Because this system is not centrally administered and enables references
to any location on the Internet, a world wide mathematical knowledge base
could be built. It also contains information in "common mathematical
language".
Changes: This is a mongaga release. The application may now be run with
Java Web Start. A preferences window was added and enables the user to
view and edit some settings. The formula parser is also integrated and
makes it possible to transform LaTeX formulas into QEDEQ formulas. The
parser can be controlled by changing or adding operators to the XML file
"mengenlehreMathOperators.xml" in the config directory.

[032] - Method Support 0.11
by Martin (http://freshmeat.net/users/mellison/)
Mon, Oct 15th 2007 06:52
Information Management :: Records Management
Information Management :: Workflow Frameworks
Office/Business :: Groupware
About: Method Support is a system for quickly producing process support
Web sites. It simplifies the process by requiring the administrator to
just provide a "schema" file describing the forms and the workflow that
define the process. The administrator can then generate the entire site by
running a single command line. Method Support is a program for supporting
procedures by defining online forms, equivalent to a set of paper forms.
The emphasis of this approach is to make it easy to set up forms and to
modify the forms over time.
Changes: This version is now being used to host http://methodsupport.com/
and includes administration options to configure the application on the
Web server (notably, to work with mod_rewrite).

[033] - MirBSD Korn Shell R31d
by mirabile (http://freshmeat.net/users/mirabile/)
Mon, Oct 15th 2007 07:09
System :: Shells
About: The MirBSD Korn Shell (mksh) is an actively developed successor of
pdksh (the Public Domain Korn Shell), aimed at producing a shell good for
interactive use, but with the primary focus on scripting. It is intended
to be portable to most *nix-like operating systems as long as they're not
too obscure. mksh incorporates improvements from OpenBSD and Debian, as
well as bugfixes and enhancements developed for the MirOS, FreeWRT, and
MidnightBSD projects. The emacs command line editing mode is UTF-8
capable, and Byte Order Marks are ignored in scripts. The shell supports
large files, as well as all pdksh and some csh, AT&T ksh, and GNU bash
features, is compatible with the Bourne shell and POSIX (within limits),
has no limit on array sizes, and incorporates some other useful builtins
and features. While being already fast and small (without losing
functionality), flags to make it even smaller can be given at compile
time. An interactive shell reads "~/.mkshrc" on startup.
Changes: Another busy loop spinning problem has been fixed. The default
dot.mkshrc file now implements the csh-like pushd/popd/dirs commands and
the zsh-like precmd and chpwd functions/hooks. mksh can now be built in
parallel and with pcc (the Ragge version of the BSD Portable C Compiler).
Small bugfixes and cleanups were made to the build script, code, and
manual page.

reflect current North American rules. If a REM command cannot compute a
trigger date, the SATISFY expression is not evaluated. This helps avoid
spurious error messages in some reminders.

certificates, filtering the cert store per subject field, validation, or
expiration date. This helps to identify certificates that are about to
expire and renew them before they become invalid. Font cleanup was done in
certverify.cgi and genrequest.cgi for a consistent look and feel.
