[008] - Blossoc 1.3.0
by Thomas Mailund (http://freshmeat.net/users/mailund_birc/)
Thu, Feb 14th 2008 13:50
Scientific/Engineering
Scientific/Engineering :: Bioinformatics
Scientific/Engineering :: Medical Science Apps.
About: Blossoc is a linkage disequilibrium association mapping tool that
attempts to build (perfect) genealogies for each site in the input, score
these according to non-random clustering of affected individuals, and
judge high-scoring areas as likely candidates for containing disease
affecting variation. Building the local genealogy trees is based on a
number of heuristics that are not guaranteed to build true trees, but have
the advantage over more sophisticated methods of being extremely fast.
Blossoc can therefore handle much larger data sets than more sophisticated
tools, but at the cost of sacrificing some accuracy.
Changes: This version is a port to the new SNPFile format version 2.0.

tiles from the table. You are held up by other tiles, gravity walls, and
other things, and you can even redesign the level while playing.
Changes: The configuration file is now stored in the user's home directory
instead of the game's data directory. The tile selection bug that occurred
on some systems in the options screen was fixed.

Thu, Feb 14th 2008 02:46
Software Development :: Interpreters
Software Development :: Libraries
About: Ctalk provides object oriented programming features, like classes,
methods, operator overloading, and inheritance to otherwise standard C
programs. You can use only a few objects and classes in a program, or you
can write programs entirely in Ctalk. The package provides a translator
from Ctalk source code into C for compilation and a library that provides
run-time support for class objects. The preprocessor, ctpp, is also
available separately, and the package includes sample programs and
documentation.
Changes: This release adds improved handling of functions and methods that
have a variable number of arguments. It provides better support for
printf-style formats, and adds methods that format output for
WriteFileStream and String objects. It also adds minor improvements in
expression analysis and several bugfixes.

than conceal them, and to help users to learn how DAR works so that they
can use it from the command line when necessary. It is written in Pascal
using FreePascal and the Lazarus IDE.

About: GAMGI (General Atomistic Modelling Graphic Interface) is a program
to build, view, and analyze atomic strucures such as molecules, crystals,
glasses, liquids, etc. It aims to be useful for: the scientific community
working in Atomistic Modelling that needs a graphic interface to build
input data and to view and analyse output data, calculated with Ab-Initio
and Molecular Mechanics programs; the scientific community at large
studying chemistry, physics, materials science, geology, etc., that needs
a graphic interface to view and analyse atomic structural information and
to prepare images for presentations in classes and seminars; teaching
chemistry and physics in secondary schools and universities; science
promotion in schools, exhibitions and science museums.
Changes: All issues that generated warnings when compiling with the -O3
compiler flag were analysed, cleaned, and removed. This was tested on both
xf86 and xf86_64 architectures, with gcc 3.3.4 (Suse 10.0) and gcc 4.1.2
(Fedora 8), plus pointer_to_int and int_to_pointer conversions on non-32

markers and individuals, but leaves this up to application program
protocols.

framework for storing meta-data in the file format.

Tensors are a generalization of vectors and matrices for any number of
dimension. Spartns is fast and flexible, allowing different dimensions to
be represented in different ways.
Changes: This release adds a device for fast repeated traversals of
tensors. It is now possible to pack tensors, releasing unused memory. The
compressed vectors now are automatically resized at runtime, so there is
not a hard limit for them anymore. In order to support more data types,
the equality test is now configurable. Some bugs were fixed, and the
documentation was extended.

[046] - Task Coach 0.69.1
by Frank Niessink (http://freshmeat.net/users/fniessink/)
Thu, Feb 14th 2008 13:58
Office/Business :: Scheduling
About: Task Coach is a simple todo manager to manage personal tasks and
todo lists. It grew out of a frustration that well-known task managers,

facilities for composite tasks. Often, tasks and other things to do
consist of several activities. Task Coach is designed to deal with
composite tasks.
Changes: This release solves one major and two minor bugs. The major bug
may cause data loss, so upgrading from 0.69.0 is recommended.
