Software Development
About: Arachnida is an embeddable Web server. It uses the OpenSSL library
and consists of a small framework for networking that allows you to
asynchronously accept and handle connections using a "new connection
handler" to handle new connections and a "data handler" to handle incoming
data. This makes it possible to add support for any TCP/IP based protocol
by just adding a handler. A test suite is included.
Changes: Two changes that were not included in the previous release are
included in this one. Functionally, there are no differences.

generation process whenever your language needs change. The project
supports most major barcode formats including EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E,
ISBN, Code 128 (A, B, and C), Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5, Postnet, Code 2
of 5, and Codabar.
Changes: Some occurrences of a programming paradigm that could result in
the incorrect generation of certain symbols when including multiple
instances of them were corrected.

Education
Scientific/Engineering :: Bioinformatics
Scientific/Engineering :: Chemistry
About: The massXpert software package is a mass spectrometry environment
for linear (bio-)polymers. It inherits all the innovations of GNU
polyxmass. It allows the detailed definition of new polymer chemistries in
the XpertDef module. These chemistry definitions are then used in the
desktop calculator-like mass calculator (XpertCalc) and in the
sophisticated polymer sequence editor and (bio-)chemical/mass
spectrometric simulations module (XpertEdit). Available simulations
include polymer and monomer chemical modifications, polymer sequence
cleavage, gas-phase fragmentation, m/z ratio calculations, and more.
Changes: This release improves the flexibility of the monomer modification
procedure: now it is possible to define a modification in the monomer
modification dialog without the modification having to be defined in the
polymer chemistry definition. This makes it much faster to test structural
hypotheses. The polymer modifications are now easily visualized in the
polymer sequence editor, and there they can be easily modified. The
documentation has been updated.

[034] - re2c 0.13.2
by Marcus Boerger (http://freshmeat.net/users/helly25/)
Fri, Feb 15th 2008 13:16
Software Development :: Code Generators
About: re2c is a tool for writing fast and flexible lexers. Unlike other
such tools, it concentrates solely on generating efficient code for
matching regular expressions. This make it suitable for a wide variety of
applications. The generated scanners approach hand-crafted ones in terms
of size and speed.
Changes: This is hopefully the last development release of the 0.13 cycle,
and should lead to a stable 0.14 release. This version is being used to
replace the use of flex as the PHP scanner generator. At the time of this
writing, the efforts are extremely promising, and more than 98% of the 5K
PHP tests already pass.

[035] - rsyslog 3.11.2 (Development)
by Rainer Gerhards (http://freshmeat.net/users/rgerhards/)
Fri, Feb 15th 2008 10:15
System :: Logging
About: Rsyslog is an enhanced multi-threaded syslogd. Among other
features, it offers support for on-demand disk buffering, reliable syslog
over TCP, writing to MySQL and PostgreSQL databases, fully configurable
output formats (including great timestamps), the ability to filter on any
part of the syslog message, and on-the-wire message compression. It is
designed as a drop-in replacement for stock syslogd and thus is able to
work with the same configuration file syntax. Of course, some enhanced
features require changing the configuration file, but in general, this
should be fairly easy.
Changes: This release has the ability to convert text files into syslog. A
new libdbi-based output plugin has been written. This adds six additional
databases (including Firebird and Oracle) to the supported database set.
This release contains small bugfixes. It is a recommended release for all
version 3 users.
