[001] - 3rd Edition Dungeons & Dragons Character Generator 3.6
by Slicer (http://freshmeat.net/users/slicer/)
Mon, Nov 5th 2007 20:50
Games/Entertainment :: Role-Playing
About: 3rd Edition Dungeons and Dragons Character Generator is an
HTML/JavaScript Web page that allows the user to quickly and easily create
new Dungeons and Dragons characters. The characters can be of any of the
eleven classes, any of the playable races, and may start at any level from
1 to 220. Generation requires some simple input, after which the character
is displayed on a basic character sheet. It allows you to select your
starting stats, add ability points, and pick skills, equipment, feats, and
spells. It runs on most operating systems with most modern browsers.
Changes: This release fixes a few typos and clarifies in the title and
FAQs that this character is compatible with the rules for Dungeons and
Dragons 3.5 edition. A random notes area was added for player champaign
notes. Players can now equip their characters with armor and shields they
have purchased. The armor bonus is calculated on the final page.

[002] - ABL (Abstract Basic List) 1.0
by atoku (http://freshmeat.net/users/atoku/)
Mon, Nov 5th 2007 20:49
Software Development :: Libraries
About: ABL (Abstract Basic List) is a flexible abstract list library
defined using the C preprocessor. It allows you to define linked lists of
arbitrary types very easily. You also can use these lists as stacks or
queues. You can easily define complicated types like a list of lists. It
contains a set of functions to work on lists, including higher order
functions for filtering and so on. The list includes detailed
documentation in texinfo format.
Changes: car is no longer a pointer. This changes how list elements are
stored in memory. The add_head_c and create_head_c functions were replaced
by a unified create_head function. Make/destructor were renamed to
make/destroy. A major revision of the documentation was undertaken, and
all examples and tests were redone. A logo was created and the project was
renamed from "Atoku's Basic List" to "Abstract Basic List".

[003] - AsItHappens 0.40
by Mark Abrahams (http://freshmeat.net/users/markabrahams/)
Mon, Nov 5th 2007 06:01
System :: Networking :: Monitoring
About: AsItHappens is a real-time network statistics collector and
grapher. It collects data from devices over a network via ICMP and SNMP
and displays them on a graph, optionally storing collected data in a
database for later retrieval. Collection types include network response,
bandwidth usage, processor usage, memory usage, Cisco NBAR, and Cisco
NetFlow. AsItHappens polls data in regular intervals, which can be in the
order of milliseconds, to give immediate feedback on network performance.
AsItHappens can also graph flow information from packet capture files.
Changes: This release adds two major features to AsItHappens. First,
AsItHappens now includes an embedded database that is used by default,
instead of relying on an external MySQL install. Second, AsItHappens now
has the ability to store groups of collecting graph windows as a "layout"
and restore these at a later time. Other minor enhancements are also
included, such as per-device "remembering" of SNMP community strings. The
release also fixes some significant bugs, including an "OutOfMemory" error
while collecting to the database and NetFlow graphs not shutting down
properly.

[008] - CacheGuard OS 5.2.5
by Afshin Tajvidi (http://freshmeat.net/users/tajflow/)
Mon, Nov 5th 2007 13:56
Internet :: Proxy Servers
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Security
About: CacheGuard is a Linux-based OS/appliance dedicated to Web traffic
security and optimization. It transforms an x86-based machine into a
powerful Web gateway appliance. It allows you to control Web traffic for
Web surfers and Web servers by acting as a forwarding and reverse HTTP /
HTTPS proxy. It supports HTTP transparent implementation, HTTP
compression, Web caching, URL black- and whitelist guarding, and Web
server load balancing. It features a stateful firewall with NAT and PAT,
and a content filtering module blocking malicious HTTP requests like XSS,
SQL and Command Injection. It integrates a caching DNS, a DHCP server, a
bandwidth shaper to manage the QoS, a load sharing system, and an HA (high
availability) mode with VRRP and link bonding.
Changes: Synflood guarding has been added for traffic labeled "other". The
number of parallel connections per client IP address has been restricted,
which allows this release to stop flooding. The log rotation process has
been fixed to save logs with the correct date and time. The IP address
configuration has been fixed when HA mode is deactivated. This is the
first stable version.

[010] - cgmail 0.4
by redgun (http://freshmeat.net/users/redgun/)
Mon, Nov 5th 2007 05:28
Communications :: Email
About: cgmail (check Gmail) is an email checker and notifier applet for
the GNOME desktop. It will periodically check your Gmail account and will
notify you of new incoming messages. It will use GNOME Keyring to store
your credentials for security enhancements instead of storing it in plain
text files. It uses a fresh DBUS notification to tell you that a new
message is into your Gmail inbox.
Changes: An autostart option was added to the cGmail preferences dialog.
If you set this option, cGmail will be started with the GNOME desktop. If
the status icon indicates that there are some messages, but you have not
seen the notifications bubble, clicking on the status icon will redisplay
it. Support for IMAP mailboxes was added. Now you can set an account as
enabled or disabled from the accounts dialog. By default, the cGmail icon
is not shown in the systray. It will appear only when there are some
messages about which the user should be notified.

[011] - Cntlm 0.35
by David Kubicek (http://freshmeat.net/users/mavey/)
Mon, Nov 5th 2007 17:36
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Security
System :: Networking
About: Cntlm is an NTLM, NTLM2SR, NTLMv2 authenticating HTTP proxy. It
takes the address of your parent proxy (or proxies) and opens a listening
socket, forwarding each request to it (moving on in a circular list if the
active parent proxy stops working). Along the way, a connection to the
parent is created anew and authenticated or, if available, a previously
cached connection is reused to achieve higher efficiency and faster
responses. When set up, cntlm should be used as the primary proxy in your
applications.
Changes: A built-in SOCKS 5 proxy service, official inclusion in Debian,
FreeBSD support, an Ubuntu /bin/sh (Dash) compatible init script, a fix
for HTTPS/tunneling instability, support for NTLM-free (open) proxies, and
major code refactoring.

[012] - dhcpclient Snapshot 20071104
by Stefan Rompf (http://freshmeat.net/users/srompf/)
Mon, Nov 5th 2007 05:23
About: Dhcpclient is an RFC 2131 compatible DHCP client for Linux 2.6. It
uses netlink for interface configuration, acts on link state messages, and
is highly customizable by calling a script on every state change to allow
updating resolv.conf. It is small, and compiles with uclibc in addition to
glibc.
Changes: DHCP servers that send a default gateway outside the local
network are now supported. Several bugs were fixed. This version compiles
with recent exported kernel headers.

About: Dstar Lite is a C++ implementation of the D* Lite algorithm as
explained in [Koenig, 2002]. This is the non-optimized version as
explained in Figure 5 of the paper. There are a few minor modifications to
this code to improve computation time and path distance. This is a very
simple piece of software and should take very little time to understand
and integrate.

[016] - GNU Anubis 4.1 (Stable)
by Wojciech Polak (http://freshmeat.net/users/ghostface/)
Mon, Nov 5th 2007 20:42
Communications :: Email :: Filters
Internet :: Proxy Servers
Security :: Cryptography
About: GNU Anubis is an SMTP message submission daemon. It represents an
intermediate layer between the mail user agent (MUA) and mail transport
agent (MTA), receiving messages from the MUA, applying to them a set of
predefined changes, and finally inserting modified messages into an MTA
routing network. The set of changes applied to a message is configurable
on a system-wide and per-user basis. The built-in configuration language
used for defining sets of changes allows for considerable flexibility and
is easily extensible.
Changes: The package is now licensed under GPL version 3. A new MDA
working mode has been added. The != ("not match") operator and
concatenation operator were implemented. With Guile support enabled, Guile
version 1.8.0 or later is required. Handling of regular expressions was
fixed, and arbitrary-sized buffers were removed. All memory is now
allocated on request. The main configuration file is now processed if the
client is recognized or not. Errors in Guile scripts are now caught and
displayed early. In previous versions they could cause the subprocess to
be aborted. A minor bug in the handling of identd responses was fixed.

[017] - GNU TeXmacs 1.0.6.12
by Joris van der Hoeven (http://freshmeat.net/users/vdhoeven/)
Mon, Nov 5th 2007 06:21
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Browsers
Office/Business :: Office Suites
Scientific/Engineering
About: GNU TeXmacs is a free wysiwyw (what you see is what you want)
editing platform with special features for scientists. The software aims
to provide a unified and user friendly framework for editing structured
documents with different types of content: text, mathematics, graphics,
interactive content. TeXmacs can also be used as an interface to many
external systems for computer algebra, numerical analysis, and statistics.
New presentation styles can be written by the user and new features can be
added to the editor using Scheme.
Changes: The GUI interface has been made completely abstract. This should
both increase the portability of TeXmacs and allow for the use of more
native widget libraries.

[037] - MoSSHe 1.4.4
by Volker Tanger (http://freshmeat.net/users/vtanger/)
Mon, Nov 5th 2007 17:28
System :: Networking :: Monitoring
About: MoSSHe (MOnitoring with SSH Environment) is a simple, lightweight
(both in size and system requirements) server monitoring package designed
for secure and in-depth monitoring of a number of typical Internet
systems. It was developed to keep the impact on network and performance
low, and to use a safe, encrypted connection for in-depth inspection of
the system checked. It is not possible to remotely run (more or less
arbitrary) commands via the monitoring system, nor is unsafe cleartext
SNMP messaging necessary (yet possible). A read-only Web interface makes
monitoring and status checks simple (and safe) for admins and helpdesk.
Checking scripts are included for remote services (DNS, HTTP, IMAP2,
IMAP3, POP3, samba, SMTP, and SNMP) and local systems (disk space, load,
CPU temperature, fan speed, free memory, print queue size and activity,
processes, RAID status, shells, log file events (logins, restarts, and
brute force attacks), and mail queue).
Changes: This release fixes error messages due to missing date when
programs are not installed. Server identification, which misfired when the
first part of a server matched a different one, has been fixed. An
http_time check has been added that returns the reply time in
milliseconds. This release features cleanup of stale (read: all) status
files on startup.

Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
About: ServerKit helps developers quickly build efficient, scalable, and
uniformly configured, installed, and executed multi-threaded server
applications for Linux. A core server program handles configuration
parsing, database connection pool creation, and switching of users.

well-defined program interfaces. ServerKit also provides a rich API for
quick and painless module development.
Changes: This release is considered stable. The server_ptree_walk()
interface was changed slightly. The server meta-program now observes and
cares about the version of ServerKit with which the modules being loaded
were compiled. A number of small cleanups and changes were made. This
release is incompatible with previous 0.0.x releases. Modules will need to
be rebuilt and, in some cases, require source modifications as well.

[059] - SimCList 1.3 beta
by Mij (http://freshmeat.net/users/mijio/)
Mon, Nov 5th 2007 13:38
Software Development :: Libraries
About: SimCList is a high quality C library for handling lists. Its API is
simple but powerful, makes elegant and consistent use of information
hiding, abstracts the actual data type to store, and is fairly complete.
The library itself has good performance, and makes a good compromise
between performance in terms of time and space. It is well documented and
has a very fast learning curve.
Changes: Support for custom element seeking and support for
dumping/restoring lists on files.

[060] - Solar Imperium 2.5.1 BETA1
by Yanick Bourbeau (http://freshmeat.net/users/mrgibson/)
Mon, Nov 5th 2007 08:01
Games/Entertainment
Games/Entertainment :: Turn Based Strategy
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
About: Solar Imperium is a Solar Realms Elite clone. In it, you rule a
solar empire. The goal is to become and remain the most powerful empire.
You can gain strength by buying forces, and you can gain size by
colonizing planets. You start with some planets, and a little bit of
money. You are required to feed your people and army, and to pay to
maintain your planets and army. If you fail to do these things, disastrous
results may occur. You are given several turns of protection, during which
you cannot attack or be attacked, and cannot perform covert operations.
This provides a way for smaller empires to build up their defenses and
planets before they enter the real world.
Changes: The installer was improved. While creating a new game, more
errors and warnings may be displayed. A informative notice is displayed
when no players are in the database. A limit of two players per IP is
enforced. The last joined players is displayed in the properties page. The
best day (logged players/signup) is displayed. A display bug the in forum
pages was fixed. A bug in effectiveness when a pirate attack is loose was
fixed. Lottery was fixed. A pirate attack does not set the "already
attacked" flag. The pirate attack bust calculation is wrong. A covert op
supports dissension with no reclaimed troops. Sabotage never damages
anything.

Mon, Nov 5th 2007 10:39
Communications :: Email :: Filters
About: spamdyke is a drop-in filter for qmail to provide connection-time
blacklisting, graylisting, DNS RBL/RHSBL checking, sender MX checking,
improved logging, and more. spamdyke will provide SMTP AUTH and TLS to

recompiling qmail.
Changes: Rewritten/refactored DNS query code now allows much faster
lookups and timeouts. Testing shows a 10x speed improvement in some
situations (YMMV). Data reading and writing now moves as much data as
possible in each system call (up to 4K), not one byte at a time. The
"graylist-dir" and "no-graylist-dir" options can now be used multiple
times to search multiple graylist folders for a domain folder. The
"ip-in-rdns-keyword-file" option now allows top-level domains to be
listed. Log messages can now be sent to stderr instead of syslog. Numerous
enhancements to "config-test". Numerous bugfixes.
