About: AgileWiki is a program that explores new knowledge representation.
It is an attempt to implement, at least in part, Norm Kashdan's Rolonic
Theory, a profoundly different approach to time and knowledge
representation. CowDb is a high-speed object store over which the next
generation of AgileWiki will be written. COODBMS is a Copy-on-write OODBMS
based on Rolonics.
Changes: There's a new TEXT role, with full support for bi-directional XML
transformations, as well as a programmer guide on the topic. A bug was
fixed in the wellKnown method: it was not using a unique name for the new
node.

pages. Groups can be private or public. People can connect to a group to
contribute using OpenID. They get tracking tools such as forum digest and
blog RSS feeds.
Changes: AROUNDMe collaboration server now comes with a simple language
pack from which multiple languages can be created and added so that each
group can be in a local language. Installation was simplified, so the
person installing can now override the domain name, allowing them to
install first and then point the domain to the directory at a later stage.

loading objects (including PDFs) from a File or FileInputStream. Big speed
improvements when reading and writing PDFs. Reading has been parallelized
to make use of multi-core environments: the number of threads can be set
explicitly with the "org.faceless.pdf2.Threads" System property. An option
to parallelize TIFF rendering in PDFParser.writeAsTIFF() has been added.
Applying a digital signature has been improved from a two-pass operation
to a nearly single pass one.

[016] - Fakeroot Next Gen 0.06
by Shachar Shemesh (http://freshmeat.net/users/TheSun/)
Wed, Feb 6th 2008 10:31
Adaptive Technologies
Software Development :: Embedded Systems
System :: Installation/Setup
About: Fakeroot-ng runs a program while fooling it into thinking it is
running with root privileges. When the program does something that only
root can do (e.g. create a device file), fakeroot-ng emulates the
appropriate system calls so that the program gets a consistent view of its
actions. Unlike the original fakeroot, fakeroot-ng uses the ptrace
interface, which means that it will (soon) support emulating chroot jails
properly.
Changes: The package is fairly stable (for the platforms it supports). It
already supports running "strace" within the fake root (no support for
strace's -f option yet). There is no support for "chroot" yet.

[024] - Hotwire 0.710
by Colin Walters (http://freshmeat.net/users/colinwalters/)
Wed, Feb 6th 2008 00:56
Software Development
About: Hotwire is an object-oriented hypershell. It is a shell designed
for systems programming (files, processes), and thus it is in the same
conceptual category of software as the Unix shell/terminal and Windows
PowerShell. The goal of the Hotwire project is to create a better systems
programming shell than both Unix and PowerShell. It is called a
hyper-shell because Hotwire blends the concepts of a traditional shell
with a modern graphical user interface display.
Changes: Internal line processing now includes newlines. ~/.bash_history
is imported. Non-UTF8 locales can be handled. Sorting is done by the file
renderer. The "open" action now works on Windows. The "apply" builtin was
added. The "view" builtin was added, which launches an editor in read-only
mode. "kill" now optionally takes Process objects as input. "rm" has a new
--unlink option to really delete.

accounting terms for some account types were fixed. A fix was implemented
to expose errors created using an old version of the archive function.

Wed, Feb 6th 2008 10:07
Software Development :: Libraries
About: libviper is an API for quickly developing console, curses-based
interfaces with mouse support (GPM). It's a good alternative to the panels
library. The API preserves many of the familiar ncurses monikers. It also
provides, basic, GTK-like window signal handling.
Changes: Some minor build warnings have been fixed. The code has been
tested on x86-64. Several screen initialization and screen referencing
functions and macros have been displaced in favor of an external global
called SCREEN_WINDOW. viper_init() must now be explicitly called to
initialize the internal structures. gcc -O2 optimizations have been
enabled in the Makefile, and this release has moved to the C99 standard
(mostly for long long int).

Education
Education :: Computer Aided Instruction (CAI)
Education :: Testing
About: LON-CAPA (The LearningOnline Network with CAPA) is a learning
content and course management system. It offers an underlying shared
content pool from which instructors across departmental and institutional
boundaries can assemble granular learning content for their courses. It
has strong assessment capabilities, both formative (homework and in-class
using wireless PDAs) and summative (online and bubblesheet exams), with a
one-source multiple-target strategy for the content. It offers students
portfolio space in which they can stage materials for submission to
projects, and provides a number of tools for synchronous and asynchronous
student-student and student-faculty communication. LON-CAPA scales well
with number of students, as load-balancing is possible across the whole
network of servers at participating institutions.
Changes: The validation of bubble sheet quizzes now again correctly
accommodates option responses, ranking responses, and match responses.
When a course is cloned between two semesters, usernames of course
personnel are not automatically cloned alongside the materials and other
settings. The fact that problems in "practice mode" are not graded is now
clearly pointed out to the students.

car forwarding and create timetables for your railroad are included. There
is software to help with photographing your trains, and to compute the
correct value for those pesky dropping resistors for LEDs and/or
incandescent lamps.
Changes: The programming guide was completely fleshed out, and work on its
index was started. A problem with symlinks in the C++ Makefiles was fixed.

Software Development :: Assemblers
Software Development :: Compilers
Software Development :: Debuggers
About: TinyaML is a virtual machine, a compiler, and a compiler- compiler,
powered by the abstract parser tinyap. It is endian-safe and allows easy
bindings of new C APIs into the virtual machine. The VM executes wordcode
with a virtual threading model and features a garbage collector. TinyaML
allows the user to compile and run assembly code, or plug new grammars for
higher-level languages into the parser and implement the methods to compile
their ASTs.
Changes: The opcode handling in grammar and compiler was refactored, so
compilation is about 5 times faster now. Raw exception handling was
implemented, and everything should be ready for object-oriented language
definition. The debugger has improved a bit but still lacks essential

Database :: API
Office/Business :: Financial :: Investment
About: The trading-shim is a database driven connector API that provides a
persistent store SQL backend database, translates operations to and from
the Interactive Brokers Java TWS API. It can act as an interpreter for
commands, and permits downstream clients to access several worldwide
securities markets and exchanges (stocks, options, futures, bonds, Forex)
for "tick" data and history (intraday, and EoD). It also allows clients to
supervise trades of securities and more.
Changes: This release addresses the problem with orders in mapping of line
items to order IDs, which led to individual line items having multiple
order IDs.

by psychogenic (http://freshmeat.net/users/psychogenic/)
Wed, Feb 6th 2008 08:47
Communications :: Telephony
Software Development :: Libraries :: Perl Modules
Text Processing :: Markup :: XML
About: VoiceXML::Client is a library that provides Perl programs with the
ability to act as a user agent that fetches Voice Extensible Markup
Language (VoiceXML) documents, parses them, and then executes the
instructions therein by playing prompts and collecting user DTMF
input/voice recordings through a handle to some type of telephone or other
device interface. VoiceXML::Client's focus is on the client side. The XML
documents are generated by a distinct process of your choice, unrelated to
the library.

replaced by an "information ticker" on the main panel. There is a new set
of functions to control the scrolling marquee panel (not 100%
implemented). This release has been sync with libviper 1.3.1 (or higher).
Delete key functionality has been added to ptyterm and the terminfo entry
for vwmterm so that bash command/history editing will work correctly. An
environment issue with ptyterm that caused some environment variables to
be trampled has been fixed. gcc -O2 optimizations have been added to
Makefile, and this release has moved to the C99 standard (mostly for long
long int).
