Education
Scientific/Engineering
Scientific/Engineering :: Chemistry
About: GAMGI (General Atomistic Modelling Graphic Interface) is a program
to build, view, and analyze atomic strucures such as molecules, crystals,
glasses, liquids, etc. It aims to be useful for: the scientific community
working in Atomistic Modelling that needs a graphic interface to build
input data and to view and analyse output data, calculated with Ab-Initio
and Molecular Mechanics programs; the scientific community at large
studying chemistry, physics, materials science, geology, etc., that needs
a graphic interface to view and analyse atomic structural information and
to prepare images for presentations in classes and seminars; teaching
chemistry and physics in secondary schools and universities; science
promotion in schools, exhibitions and science museums.
Changes: The usability of the dialogs Plane->Modify and Direction->Modify
has been improved. Crystallographic and atomic planes and directions can
now be arbitrarily positioned in a controlled way. The code to position
objects has been redesigned and reunited in a single file, and is now much
simpler and easier to maintain. Layer, Plane, and Direction enumerations
have been replaced by a common one, which is easier to understand. The XML
possible values yes, partial, and no have been replaced by all, partial,
and none for visibility_in and visibility_out in layers and autonomy in
planes and directions, to be consistent with the dialogs.

About: GeoQO is a waypoint, geocaching, and waymarking database. It is
extremely fast and offers a wide variety of utilities for manipulating
waypoints. Though designed for geocaching and waymarking, it should be
usable for any waypoint management. It is highly extensible; writing new
import, export, search, display, and other plugins is easy to do.
Changes: A new puzzle equation extractor was added, which automatically
extracts equations from puzzles and puts them into attributes for later
coordinate replacement. This has been integrated into the puzzle solving
GUI as well. More bugs were fixed in many things, including the Windows
installer. Graphical (Gtk2) based progress bars were added. Other
forgotten changes were made.

[017] - GNU ddrescue 1.6-rc4 (Development)
by Antonio Diaz Diaz (http://freshmeat.net/users/ant_diaz/)
Thu, Oct 25th 2007 16:27
System :: Recovery Tools
About: GNU ddrescue is a data recovery tool. It copies data from one file
or block device (hard disc, cdrom, etc) to another, trying hard to rescue
data in case of read errors. GNU ddrescue does not truncate the output
file if not asked to. So, every time you run it on the same output file,
it tries to fill in the gaps. The basic operation of GNU ddrescue is fully
automatic. That is, you don't have to wait for an error, stop the program,
read the log, run it in reverse mode, etc. If you use the logfile feature
of GNU ddrescue, the data is rescued very efficiently (only the needed
blocks are read). Also you can interrupt the rescue at any time and resume
it later at the same point.
Changes: This version achieves perfect resumability if interrupted during
trimming or splitting. Consistency checks have been added to detect
possible bugs.

Thu, Oct 25th 2007 08:28
Software Development :: Libraries
System :: Networking :: Firewalls
About: The MiniUPnP project is a library and a daemon. The library is
aimed to enable applications to use the capabilities of a UPnP Internet
Gateway Device present on the network to forward ports. The daemon adds
the UPnP Internet Gateway Device functionality to a NAT gateway running
OpenBSD/NetBSD/FreeBSD with PF or Linux 2.4.x/2.6.x with netfilter. One of
its most interesting features is to enforce some permissions to allow or
deny redirections, bringing some security to UPnP. Newer versions of
MiniUPnPd also support Solaris and ipf.
Changes: Experimental NAT-PMP support was added. MiniUPnPc is now able to
use a specific network interface instead of the default.

arbitrary complexity, consisting of heterogenous types. Pantheios supports
filtering of log messages based on severity level.

[039] - Seed7 2007-10-25
by Thomas Mertes (http://freshmeat.net/users/thomas_mertes/)
Thu, Oct 25th 2007 15:21
Software Development :: Compilers
Software Development :: Interpreters
About: Seed7 is a general purpose programming language. It is a higher
level language compared to Ada, C++, and Java. In Seed7, new statements
and operators can be declared easily. Functions with type results and type
parameters are more elegant than a template or generics concept. Object
orientation is used when it brings advantages and not in places when other
solutions are more obvious. Although Seed7 contains several concepts of
other programming languages, it is generally not considered as a direct
descendant of any other programming language.
Changes: A new example program (mahjong.sd7) was added. An include file
(mahjng32.s7i) that contains mahjong tiles was added. The interpreter and
the compiler were improved to support the gkb_window action. The close
interface function was changed to work for the type graphFile.

Thu, Oct 25th 2007 15:19
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
About: TurtolCMS is a powerful, flexible Web content management system.
With it, you can manage every aspect of your Web content directly from

desired look and then gracefully re-use that design consistently for any
new content that is added.
Changes: Themes now provide a pre-set look and feel for your Web site.
Themes can be set during setup or by clicking Map -> Roottemplate ->
BasePageTemplate on the main toolbar. A cleaner way to set the class and
style attributes of a Div Widget and the media attribute of a CssLink
widget was added. More CSS is passed to the Editor to move closer to "what
you see is what you get" editing. Clicking the Turtol logo on the main
toolbar displays the version.

Database
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
Text Processing :: Markup :: XML
About: XMLToaster is an XML-to-Relational mapping tool. If you already
know SQL, its learning curve is extremely shallow, and writing a mapping
to generate XML from database tables or to save XML into a database is
made easy with a powerful mapping language with SQL-like syntax. It
supports complex mappings, and you can map either plain XML or XML
schemas.
Changes: An element or attribute can now be marked as volatile. When XML
is saved into the database, a copy of it is returned containing data
modified by database triggers or defaults. Support for MySQL column name
escaping was added. More logging has been added. Several minor bugs were
fixed.
