About: AsciiDoc is a text document format for writing short documents,
articles, books, and UNIX man pages. AsciiDoc files can be translated to
HTML and DocBook markups using the asciidoc(1) command. AsciiDoc is highly
configurable: both the AsciiDoc source file syntax and the backend output
markups (which can be almost any type of SGML/XML markup) can be
customized and extended by the user.
Changes: It is now possible to set the DocBook 'lang' attribute.
Admonition, figure, and table captions have been factored into "caption_"
attributes. The spurious warning 'with will become a reserved keyword in
Python 2.6' has been suppressed.

Tue, Nov 13th 2007 13:30
Communications :: Internet Phone
Communications :: Telephony
About: Auto IVR Dialer automatically dials numbers from a comma-separated
list. On success, it connects the dialed party to the IVR. This uses
Asterisk or Trixbox to initiate calls. It has the ability to initiate
simultaneous multiple calls. It tracks the calls and re-attempts the
failed calls, and this cycle repeats itself until all calls are successful
or stopped by the user. It is useful for running automated campaigns. It
requires Mono or .NET framework 2. It runs on Unix, Linux, Solaris,
Windows, and any other platform compatible with Mono.

System :: Monitoring
About: check_writable is a Nagios plugin that checks if one or more
directories are writable by checking that the supplied directory is indeed
a directory, checking if the the filesystem permissions are OK, creating a
temporary file, writing random data to the temporary file, and reading it
back. It returns a critical status if one of the tests fails.
Changes: version.pm was added in the distribution since the installer
depends on it.

[006] - Dabo 0.8.2
by Ed Leafe (http://freshmeat.net/users/edleafe/)
Tue, Nov 13th 2007 23:08
About: Dabo is a three-tier, cross-platform database application
development framework, written in Python with the wxPython GUI toolkit.
The controls in Dabo's UI are easily bound to data by setting two
properties. The business object is designed to afford you complete control
over the validation and handling of your data. The cursor classes are
abstracted from their backend implementations, allowing for easy support
of nearly any backend database. Dabo's design and approach has been
inspired by RAD database development tools such as Visual FoxPro, Delphi,
and Visual Basic.
Changes: The biggest change is the incorporation of Web Update to the
framework, allowing you to receive notice of bugfixes and updates as soon
as they are available, and, if you wish, have those updated files
installed on your machine. There have been lots of usability improvements,
performance enhancements, and, of course, bugfixes.

System :: Hardware
About: Gizmo Daemon is a program for controlling your computer based on
events from input devices. It has built-in support for all Linux input
devices, including keyboards with special keys, joysticks, remotes, dials,

capable devices (keyboards with LEDs, Griffin PowerMate, etc.). It also
features support for LIRC and RF based remote controls, allowing it to
have per-application key mappings and configurable sensitivity settings.
Changes: This is mostly a bugfix release for an issue that cropped up with
recent versions of xorg where Gizmod would spike the CPU for long periods
of time. However, there are a number of other efficiency fixes as well,
meaning that CPU usage has been decreased across the board. In addition to
the fixes, support for device matching by product and vendor ID codes was
improved. Initial support for the Logitech Momo racing wheel was added.

About: QtiPlot is a clone of Origin for data analysis and scientific
plotting.
Changes: The behavior of matrices is now Origin like: it features dual
image/data view mode, support for flipping and rotating images, 2D
histograms, and the possibility to save matrices as image files. The fit
wizard was improved: all the fit models and the initial guesses for the
fit parameters can be saved to XML files. The possibility to restrict the
search range for the fit parameters was added. A preview functionality for
the fit models was added. Support was added for 3D parametric surfaces. A
preview option was added to the import ASCII dialog. New data may be

escape sequences for case conversions were added, along with \digit for
capture subpattern references in replacement reference strings.

[034] - STUBS and Franki/Earlgrey Linux 0.6.11-2/0.9.4-2 (STUBS
Configurations)

Tue, Nov 13th 2007 23:15
System :: Operating System
System :: Operating System :: Linux Distributions
System :: Operating System :: Linux Distributions :: CD-Based
About: The STUBS Toolchain and Utility Build Suite is a set of scripts
designed to build one or more software packages by means of a pre-written
set of configuration files. Each configuration file encapsulates the
necessary build and install commands for a given package, and URLs are
included so source and patches can be downloaded as necessary. STUBS is
designed to both bootstrap and work within the Franki/Earlgrey Linux
environment (an extensible busybox and uClibc-based Linux boot floppy
produced by one of several example STUBS configurations).
Changes: This Configurations release ensures the Sencha, Bancha, and Lung
Ching environments match their equivalents in "tcdev". Packages that were
updated to the latest versions include curl, dialog, e2fsprogs, hd2u, pen,
and tar. The latest Scripts release is required.

[035] - Stunnix Perl-Obfus 3.0
by Stunnix (http://freshmeat.net/users/stunnix/)
Tue, Nov 13th 2007 13:32
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management
Software Development :: Compilers
Software Development :: Pre-processors
About: Stunnix Perl-Obfus is a unique solution for protecting your
valuable intellectual property from possible Perl source code
piracy/studying/rework. It's an advanced and extremely reliable obfuscator
for the Perl source code. It converts the Perl source files (.pl and .pm)
into highly mangled and obfuscated forms, making them extremely difficult
to study, analyse, reuse, or re-work for competitors or customers, while
fully retaining functionality of the original source code. It's not a
compiler to machine code, and the obfuscated form will still be the usual
Perl source code, and so will work on all platforms the original source
worked on.
Changes: The backtick operator is now handled correctly. The algorithm for
generation of new symbol names has been improved: now they are more random.
The Project Manager GUI has been greatly improved.

Sleep has its own library of functions for performing common tasks as well
as being able to utilize the Java class library. Sleep includes closures,
coroutines, built-in debugging, and it is very extensible.

op is attempted. An inconsistent error handling bug in profile only debug
mode was fixed. $null now evaluates to null and not "" when passed to Java
as a String. The fork() function now places useful information in the
created thread name.

Tue, Nov 13th 2007 23:34
Database :: Database Engines/Servers
Software Development :: Libraries
About: Tokyo Cabinet is a library of routines for managing a database. It
is the successor of QDBM. Tokyo Cabinet runs very fast. For example, the
time required to store 1 million records is 1.5 seconds for a hash
database and 2.2 seconds for a B+ tree database. Moreover, the database
size is very small. For example, the overhead for a record is 16 bytes for
a hash database, and 5 bytes for a B+ tree database. Furthermore, the
scalability of Tokyo Cabinet is great. The database size can be up to 8EB.
Changes: The speed of the B+ tree database was improved because of code
optimization.

Security
System :: Networking
System :: Systems Administration
About: Tresys Brickwall is a system utility for configuring SELinux. A
simple point-and-click GUI builds custom configurations for many popular
network-facing services like apache, postfix, and sshd. Access to network
resources for each service can be easily customized, and additional
services can be added with no knowledge of SELinux. Three editions are
available: Standard (free for RHEL 4 & 5), Professional (free for Fedora
Core 6 and Fedora 7, per-seat license for RHEL), and Enterprise (allows
network management of multiple groups of machines, per-seat license for
RHEL).
Changes: This release fixes several bugs in the GUI, including issues with
the "Load Defaults" button not working in some situations, and problems
with undo/redo. The path used when calling setfiles has been corrected. An
issue on RHEL has been fixed so that systems can label the filesystem
properly when installing with SELinux disabled. Some permissions have been
added to unconfined processes. Dependencies have been added for updated
policycoreutils for Fedora Core 6 and Fedora 7.
