About: Create-dvd is a wrapper that uses MPlayer to encode any given video

math, optionally increases volume, and changes frame rates with a few
simple options.
Changes: The program now automatically calculates height expansion for
aspect ratios greater than 16:9. It optionally encodes subtitles,
increases volume, burns the DVD, adds chapters, and converts into NTSC or
PAL formats.

[004] - dbmstools 0.4.4-rc2
by John Dickson (http://freshmeat.net/users/captsens/)
Tue, Nov 27th 2007 03:07
Database
Database :: Front-Ends
About: The dbmstools module exists mainly for developers who need to
support applications on more than one database management system (DBMS).
It's intended to allow all the database information (schema and base data)
to be kept in one single place, and to have DBMS-specific scripts (for
creating and populating the database schema, and upgrading from one
version to the next) generated from that data. It can generate schema
documentation for any DBMS (including diagrams), and can export data from
a database in several formats. It also has wrappers for several tools so
that they can be run from within Apache Ant. It supports PostgreSQL 7 and
8, Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, and Hypersonic (limited support).
Changes: This version adds the ability to control the inclusion of any
item in the schema, based on variables supplied at runtime. This allows
you to generate schema variants based on any conditions you choose,
which is particularly useful for things like including different indexes
on your master and slave schemas for replication. There have also been a
couple of other minor enhancements and bugfixes.

[032] - Mauve 2.1.1
by Aaron Darling (http://freshmeat.net/users/darling/)
Tue, Nov 27th 2007 03:06
Scientific/Engineering :: Bioinformatics
About: Mauve constructs global multiple alignments of rearranged genome
sequences. It also provides an interactive display of multi-species
sequence conservation and any annotated features in those genomes. It can
be applied for sequence comparison of both finished or incomplete genomes
in multiple contigs. The resulting display is useful for identifying
functional chromosomal regions under selective pressure and for performing
ortholog assignment based on conserved gene order. Mauve writes global
alignments in eXtended Multi-FastA (XMFA) format, a phylogenetic guide
tree in Newick format, and the location of genomic islands. It identifies
the breakpoints of genomic rearrangement and can provide a reduction of
the genomes to a signed permutation matrix suitable for inference of
rearrangement history.
Changes: The new release fixes a missing library problem on Mac OS X.
Other fixes include reduced memory usage in some cases, a fix for the
failure of the sequence navigator to highlight annotation search results,
and a divide-by-zero that rarely arose in progressiveMauve.

Tue, Nov 27th 2007 05:35
System :: Archiving
About: TarTheft is a system for archiving based on the central idea of
client and server "refs": keys based on both filename and content of that
file to access the archive. TarTheft coexists with version control on the
client to store the refs, their path information, and meta-data. The
server can use the version control system to store multiple versions of
the files on tape, but is not dependent on it.
Changes: Documentation was added. A description was added on how VCS can
be made more accessible for photographers for archiving, while the archive
administrator can still use version control features like tags and
branches.
