[031] - Thread Safe Template Library 1.1.2
by Slava I. Levtchenko (http://freshmeat.net/users/sll/)
Thu, Nov 8th 2007 06:19
Software Development :: Libraries
System :: Operating System Kernels
System :: Operating System Kernels :: BSD
About: Thread Safe Template Library (TSTL) is a C++ library that provides
thread-safe storage data structures without global locking. It includes
classes for maps based on a non-binary extensible hashing tree for very
fast access, a pipe, a queue, a timercache, a limitcache, and a fast
writer multiple reader guard (WMRG) without global locking (which uses the
interlocked instruction set of the CPU). It's useful for writing
multithreaded applications and operating system components.
Changes: Major bugfixes were made for the limited cache template.

[032] - UDFclient 0.5.7
by Reinoud Zandijk (http://freshmeat.net/users/buzztoh/)
Thu, Nov 8th 2007 13:59
Utilities
About: UDFclient is a userland implementation of the UDF filesystem as
defined by the OSTA group. It is designed to be a study platform and a
run-up to a full read and write (NetBSD) kernel level implementation. It
provides a user interface not unlike ftp but differs in that it always
fetches or writes files recursively. It supports the basic get, mget, put,
mput, mv, rm, mkdir, cd, lcd, free, pwd, and lls command set.
Changes: A fix for Microsoft Vista formatted media that has a peculiar
partition numbering scheme that confused the UDFclient. Minor cosmetic
changes to make it less dependent on gcc's C extensions.

actions. File types can have an arbitrary number of custom actions. There
are some minor fixes, and a Czech translation has been added.
