by zooko (http://freshmeat.net/users/zooko/)
Tue, Oct 16th 2007 01:40
Communications :: File Sharing
System :: Archiving :: Backup
System :: Clustering/Distributed Networks
About: With Tahoe, you can store your files in a distributed way across a
set of computers, such that if some of the computers fail or become
unavailable, you can still retrieve your data from the remaining
computers. You can also securely share your files with other users. The
source code is available under a variant of the GPL that includes a
transitive 12-month grace period.
Changes: Packaging, documentation, improved usability, and a command-line
user interface.

[002] - ALSA driver 1.0.15 (Stable)
by Moritz Barsnick (http://freshmeat.net/users/barsnick/)
Tue, Oct 16th 2007 06:50
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Capture/Recording
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: CD Audio
About: The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture is composed of several parts.
The first is a fully modularized sound driver which supports module
autoloading, devfs, isapnp autoconfiguration, and gives complete access to
analog audio, digital audio, control, mixer, synthesizer, DSP, MIDI, and
timer components of audio hardware. It also includes a fully-featured
kernel-level sequencer, a full compatibility layer for OSS/Free
applications, an object-oriented C library which covers and enhances the
ALSA kernel driver functionality for applications (client/server, plugins,
PCM sharing/multiplexing, PCM metering, etc.), an interactive configuration
program for the driver, and some simple utilities for basic management.
Changes: Support for Linux kernel 2.6.22 was added. The PC speaker driver
was updated. Fixes were made to the PXA2xx driver, fixing suspend/resume
and reset. Many drivers, such as the CA0106, CMI8788, CMIPCI, and HDA
drivers, were enhanced. Many code improvements and bugfixes were made.

[005] - Babel Router 0.6
by Juliusz Chroboczek (http://freshmeat.net/users/jech/)
Tue, Oct 16th 2007 13:13
Internet
System :: Networking
About: Babel is a distance-vector routing protocol for IPv6. It is
designed to be robust and work efficiently on both wired networks and
wireless mesh networks.
Changes: This version implements resending of lost requests, which
improves convergence time when moving in and out of zones with marginal
connectivity. It also fixes a fairly rare crash.

[006] - C++ ResourcePool 0.99.14
by mws (http://freshmeat.net/users/mws/)
Tue, Oct 16th 2007 13:07
Database :: API
Software Development :: Libraries
About: C++ ResourcePool is a library which can be used to pool resources
of every kind. It can also be used as an abstraction layer by providing a
unique API for different resources of similar resource types; the most
prominent examples are SQL databases. It includes a convenient way to
access MySQL and Oracle databases in the same way, so that changing from
MySQL to Oracle or vice-versa does not need big code changes.
Changes: Transaction support was introduced for all available databases,
including the runtime selectable database driver.

[007] - calc 2.12.2.2
by chongo (http://freshmeat.net/users/chongo/)
Tue, Oct 16th 2007 07:33
Scientific/Engineering
Scientific/Engineering :: Mathematics
Software Development :: Libraries
About: Calc is arbitrary precision arithmetic system that uses a C-like
language. It's useful as a calculator, an algorithm prototype, and as a
mathematical research tool. More importantly, calc provides a
machine-independent means of computation. Calc comes with a rich set of
builtin mathematical and programmatic functions.
Changes: The wording for the -i flag in the calc man page was fixed.
help/unexpected, help/rand, help/random, and help/config were updated. The
${READLINE_EXTRAS} Makefile variables were split out from ${READLINE_LIB}
for Fedora RPM requirements. When the Makefile variable ${ALLOW_CUSTOM} is
not defined or empty, the libcustcalc library is not built. Bit 8 (0x80) of
calc_debug is reserved for custom debugging. The length of a FILEPOS copy
was fixed. The way the Makefile can force the calc byte order was changed.

[008] - Cobras 0.14
by Piotr Pszczolkowski (http://freshmeat.net/users/PiotrPsz/)
Tue, Oct 16th 2007 09:59
Software Development :: Build Tools
Text Editors :: Integrated Development Environments (IDE)
About: Cobras is a programming environment for Qt, and is written in Qt
itself. It has an integrated debugger (as a front-end for GDB), and is
very functional and helpful. It is fast and easy to use. It consists of
one binary file (plus an icon for the desktop). It does not create its own
files when working with a project, but uses only the original '.pro' file.
Changes: The ft part of the main window (tabs with files and classes) and
the bottom part (messages) are implemented as docked windows.

[009] - DBIx::Perlish 0.30
by Grrrr (http://freshmeat.net/users/Grrrr/)
Tue, Oct 16th 2007 07:19
About: The DBIx::Perlish module provides the ability to work with
databases supported by the DBI module using Perl's own syntax for the four
most common operations: SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE, and INSERT. By using
DBIx::Perlish, you can write most of your database queries using a
domain-specific language with Perl syntax. However, the module is not
intended to replace all use of SQL in your program. The DBIx::Perlish
module quite intentionally neither implements nor cares about database
administration tasks like schema design and management.
Changes: When run under Devel::Cover, some cheating is done so that query
subs that are parsed appear to be "covered" (statements and subs). Tests
were added to provide better test coverage. Explicit logical AND was
implemented. Logical OR precedence problems in generated SQL were fixed.
Returns are allowed to be evaluated conditionally (so that a single query
sub can return different things, depending on the outside information).

[010] - EasyTAG 2.1.3 (Development)
by Jérôme COUDERC (http://freshmeat.net/users/djeje/)
Tue, Oct 16th 2007 05:28
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Editors
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Players :: MP3
About: EasyTAG is a utility for viewing and editing tags for MP3, MP2,
FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, MusePack, and Monkey's Audio files. It features a simple
and attractive GTK+ interface.
Changes: This release improves the conversion in the "Process Fields"
scanner to replace a string to another one and to uppercase Roman
numerals. The number of lines in the log view can be limited to avoid
slowing down the program when handling a lot of files. A problem with the
"Encoded by" field in ID3v2.4 tags and various bugs in the cddb wibdow and
the browser window were fixed. A new Serbiane translation was added. The
French, Czech, German, Polish, and Swedish translations were updated.

Office/Business
Software Development
About: EiffelStudio is an IDE for the Eiffel language (ECMA-367, ISO/IEC
25436, and ACM Software System Award 2006). It includes: Eiffel compiler,
Eiffel editor, Eiffel code browsing tool, graphical design tool,
refactoring tool, debugger, profiler, and Eiffel analysis tools (Metrics,
Dependencies, etc.). Eiffel generates C or CLI for .NET or Mono. Eiffel
applies O-O principles and Design by Contract for high-quality software.
Many Eiffel libraries are included: ADT, network, GUI, database, parsing
(including an Eiffel parser), XML, Web, COM, and more.
Changes: More than one error is reported at degree 3: all classes are
compiled at degree 3 and all errors are displayed at the end. There is a
new replay execution mechanism in the debugger: record an execution to
replay it. This is useful when debugging a complex system where you just
encountered a bug. At this point, you can play back the execution to find
where the problem really occurred without restarting your debug session.
There are various bugfixes.

[029] - Postoffice 1.4.4
by Orc (http://freshmeat.net/users/fmOrc/)
Tue, Oct 16th 2007 01:41
Communications :: Email :: Mail Transport Agents
About: Postoffice is a simple SMTP mail server and client written with
spam blocking in mind. It provides a greylist to slow down the rate of
incoming spam, and can be configured to do antivirus checking on incoming
mail either via the sendmail milter protocol or a traditional hard-coded
AV program. Postoffice can be configured to deliver mail to accounts
inside vm-pop3d-style virtual domains, and it can further be enabled to
support AUTH LOGIN for people inside virtual domains, so they can use
postoffice as a mail forwarder when replying to mail. Postoffice accepts
(and ignores) many of the same command line options that are passed to
sendmail, and it comes with the usual crop of sendmail compatable aliases;
runq, mailq, newaliases, and sendmail.
Changes: Blacklist behavior is now configurable in a manner similar to
spam filtering. The new blacklist= configuration variable lets you accept
connections from blacklisted sites, refuse connections from them, or
accept connections but write all incoming messages into a spam folder.

[034] - sg3_utils 1.25 (Linux 2.4)
by Douglas Gilbert (http://freshmeat.net/users/dpgilbert/)
Tue, Oct 16th 2007 13:16
About: sg3_utils is a package of utilities for accessing devices that use
SCSI command sets. Most utilities issue a single command and display the
response, while some work at a slightly higher level. There are utilities
for fetching INQUIRY data and VPD, mode, and log pages. There is support
for modern SCSI transports such as SAS and FCP. The package is written for
Linux and has been ported to FreeBSD, Solaris, Tru64, and Windows. There is
an earlier version of this package for Linux 2.2 series kernels called
sg_utils.
Changes: This release adds utilities to send the Set Target Port Groups
command (sg_stpg), query a SAF-TE enclosure (sg_safte), and send an ATA
SET FEATURES command via SAT. It adds sparse write logic to sg_dd. The
build infrastructure has been changed to autotools, so in most cases the
build becomes "./configure ; make". There are various other updates to
track drafts from www.t10.org.

[035] - Shed Skin 0.0.25
by srepmub (http://freshmeat.net/users/srepmub/)
Tue, Oct 16th 2007 02:56
Software Development :: Compilers
About: Shed Skin is an experimental Python-to-C++ compiler. It accepts
pure but implicitly statically typed Python programs and generates
optimized C++ code. This means that in combination with a C++ compiler, it
allows for translation of pure Python programs into highly efficient
machine language. For a set of 16 non-trivial test programs, measurements
show a typical speedup of 2-40 over Psyco, about 10 on average, and 2-220
over CPython, about 35 on average. Shed Skin also outputs annotated source
code.
Changes: 1-length string caching, improved detection of virtual functions,
further set optimizations, a fix for extension modules and certain default
arguments, exhaustive checking of C++ keywords, a fix for some
combinations of arguments to min and max, and several minor bugfixes.

[037] - Super CSV 1.15
by Dr. Kasper Graversen (http://freshmeat.net/users/kbilsted/)
Tue, Oct 16th 2007 01:36
About: Super CSV is a CSV package for the Java 5+ platform. It operates on
streams rather than file names, so you can read and write files of any
encoding from any kind of source. It operates on maps and POJO beans, so
you don't have to convert to or from String arrays. It has a powerful
notion of a cellprocessor which enables you to regard columns in your CSV
files as real types such as numbers and dates rather than as strings.
Additionally, the processors can also act as a constraint mechanism,
enabling you to naturally specify constraints on your data.
Changes: CSV encoding is now more robust and 25% faster. Many tests were
added.

Tue, Oct 16th 2007 02:29
Games/Entertainment :: Simulation
About: Ultimate Stunts is a remake of the DOS game "stunts", providing
modern features like OpenGL graphics, 3D sound, and Internet-based
multiplayer games. Players can design their own tracks, choose opponents
and try some spectacular stunts.
Changes: The most important change in this release is that cars will now
crash if they collide too fast with other objects. Some of the other
changes are collision sound improvements, a new and fancy OpenGL mouse
cursor, and the addition of a navigation compass to the track editor. The
Linux (x86) binary packages are now based on OpenAL instead of FMOD (the
Windows binaries will follow later).
