[014] - Gecode 2.0.0
by Guido Tack (http://freshmeat.net/users/odiug/)
Thu, Nov 15th 2007 23:03
Software Development :: Libraries
About: Gecode is a portable, accessible, and efficient environment for
developing constraint-based systems and applications. Gecode is radically
open for programming, meaning that it can be easily interfaced to other
systems. It supports the programming of new propagators (as implementation
of constraints), branching strategies, and search engines. New variable
domains can be programmed at the same level of efficiency as finite domain
and integer set variables that come predefined with Gecode.
Changes: New propagators were added for channeling constraints, circuits,
table constraints (extensional), incremental regular constraints
(extensional), and incremental Boolean linear constraints. Boolean
variables have a dedicated, more efficient implementation. Advisors for
incremental propagation were added. Crucial performance and scalability
improvements were made in memory management. Cleanups, more documentation,
and many new examples were added. New set variables were added with
complete domain representation. A reflection API was added to query spaces
about their propagators.

Thu, Nov 15th 2007 23:40
System :: Emulators
About: Mini vMac emulates a Macintosh Plus, one of the earliest of the
Macintosh computers. It can run old Macintosh software that otherwise
couldn't be used on recent machines. Mini vMac requires a ROM image file
to run, and so can be legally used only by those who own a Macintosh Plus.
Changes: Mini vMac now supports importing and exporting the clipboard and
files, has a new build system, and has localized versions for Dutch and
Spanish.

expand at closer to commodity pricing. It supports unlimited snapshots,
snapshot mirroring (replication), and easy management of extremely large
storage pools.
Changes: VMware image improvements. NMV network and auto-tier form fixes.
The ability to preserve NMS/NMC properties during upgrades. Auto-sync
improvements in clustered environments. A memory check trigger cleanup.
The hosts check HA daemon now syncs time between nodes if a difference is
detected.

[033] - NoNox 1.17a
by Jim Youll (http://freshmeat.net/users/jyoull/)
Thu, Nov 15th 2007 11:01
Security
System :: Logging
System :: Networking :: Firewalls
About: NoNox is intended to help automate the defense of Internet servers
against attacks such as dictionary login attacks. NoNox monitors log files
for user-specified trigger patterns. When a pattern is seen enough times in
a given file within a given period of time, NoNox will execute a command.
The patterns, time limits, files to watch, and commands are all
user-specified. For example, if NoNox sees too many failed login attempts
from one IP address, it could execute a command that tells a firewall to
drop packets from that host, instantly cutting off the attacker.
Changes: This release repackages NoNox as a tar. It includes a
startup/shutdown script for /etc/init.d. There are minor corrections to
the documentation.

[035] - PHP Date Picker Class 1.0.7
by Stefan Gabos (http://freshmeat.net/users/stefangabos/)
Thu, Nov 15th 2007 10:31
Software Development :: Libraries :: PHP Classes
About: PHP Date Picker Class will automatically generate the required HTML
and JavaScript code that will make a pop-up window appear to let the user
choose a date from a calendar. The selected date will be passed to a
user-specified control from the calling page. Every aspect is customizable
by modifying a template and a related CSS file. The format in which the
date is returned, the default date and time period, and the first day of
the week can be selected.
Changes: This release fixes a bug where on some installations, months
could not be changed. It fixes a bug where selectableDatesRange couldn't
be used without also using selectableYearsRange. The datepicker now pops
up in the center of the screen. A new property, "showGoToCurrentMonthYear"
was added which, when set to TRUE, will show another button that when
clicked sends the datepicker back to current month/year.

by Sualeh Fatehi (http://freshmeat.net/users/sualeh/)
Thu, Nov 15th 2007 23:39
Database
Database :: API
Software Development :: Quality Assurance
About: SchemaCrawler is a platform (OS and database) independent command
line tool to output your database schema and data in a readable form. The
output is designed to be diff-ed with previous versions of your database
schema. SchemaCrawler is also an API that improves on standard JDBC
metadata.
Changes: New features include the ability to get result-set metadata. The
schema info level is no longer an enumeration, but a class that is used to
specify details on what aspects of the schema need to be retrieved. There
is now an easier way to access foreign keys from the foreign key column
itself, via isPartOfForeignKey(), and getReferencedColumn() on the Column
class. Bug fixes were made to delivering all relevant license files, the
way foreign key update and delete rules on Oracle are reported, and the
"equals" comparison on all schema objects.

[041] - system-config-printer 0.7.74.5 (Stable)
by Tim Waugh (http://freshmeat.net/users/tmw/)
Thu, Nov 15th 2007 10:34
Printing
About: system-config-printer configures a CUPS server. It uses the CUPS
API (bound to Python with pycups) to do this. The communication with the
server is performed using IPP. As a result, it is equally able to
configure a remote CUPS server as a local one.
Changes: Some small user interface fixes were made. The PPD matching
algorithm was improved. The applet now throttles its IPP requests in
start-up mode. The configuration tool handles unreachable browsed CUPS
servers more gracefully.

an XML slicer/splitter/assembler, or an XML editor/eraser.
Changes: This release fixes a number of bugs in intHash and XMLModifier
reported by users.
