Adaptive Technologies
Software Development
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
About: The Azuki Framework is a Java application framework designed to
resolve various problems in the software development lifecycle. These
goals are achieved by splitting the software conception into two main
stages: creation of independent components and definition of component
dependencies (weaving). The latter is performed with a graphical tool
named "the weaver". By representing component interactions using different
perspectives, the weaver provides a straightforward way to analyze an
application's architecture, allowing deep and easy customization of its
behavior.
Changes: This release contains two new connectors for Java applications
(or applets) and a Adobe Flex 2 client, providing RPC functionalities with
the framework.

configuration files. Data can imported from and exported to files and
systems, anonymized, or generated from scratch. Domain packages provide
reusable generators for creating domain-specific data such as names and
addresses, internationalizable in language and region. benerator is
strongly customizable with plugins and configuration options.
Changes: This is a bugfix release. It addresses bugs in the shell files
and documentation that prevented proper evaluation and use of benerator
0.4.0.

Printing
Software Development :: Libraries
About: CUPS provides a portable printing layer for Unix(r)-based operating
systems. It has been developed to promote a standard printing solution for
all Unix vendors and users. CUPS provides the System V and Berkeley
command line interfaces, and uses the Internet Printing Protocol ("IPP")
as the basis for managing print jobs and queues. The Line Printer Daemon
(LPD) Server Message Block (SMB), and AppSocket (a.k.a. JetDirect)
protocols are also supported with reduced functionality. CUPS adds network
printer browsing and PostScript Printer Description ("PPD") based printing
options to support real world printing under UNIX. It includes an image
file RIP that supports printing of image files to non-PostScript printers.
A customized version of GNU Ghostscript 7.05 for CUPS called ESP
Ghostscript is available separately to support printing of PostScript
files within the CUPS driver framework. Sample drivers for Dymo, EPSON,
HP, and OKIDATA printers are included that use these filters.
Changes: This version fixes some platform-specific build problems, Web
interface issues, PDF and PostScript filter option handling, and a number
of minor bugs discovered during routine code audits.

by Vernon Schryver (http://freshmeat.net/users/vjs/)
Tue, Feb 19th 2008 23:46
Communications :: Email :: Filters
About: Distributed Checksum Clearinghouse (DCC) is a system of clients and
servers that collect and count checksums related to mail messages. The
counts can be used by SMTP servers and mail user agents to detect and
reject bulk mail. DCC servers can exchange common checksums. The checksums
include values that are "fuzzy", or constant across common variations in
bulk messages.
Changes: Deal with thrashing problems with large mmap() spaces in recent
Linux kernels. Lines in log files for DNSBL hits were changed to include
the IP address from the DNSBL. A DNSBL is probed only once for several -B
results with distinct SMTP 4yz or 5yz rejection messages.

Tue, Feb 19th 2008 05:44
Internet
System :: Networking
About: gwhois is a generic whois client (and server) which strives to
know the right server to query for each and every top level domain and IP
address. You can ask gwhois about a domain or IP address, and it will
automatically forward your query to the appropriate server. It even
queries whois servers that can only be reached by a Web form, and outputs
the results as text. It can be used as a client or as a relaying server,
so you can use your normal whois client to ask gwhois.
Changes: The support for 63 top level domains was fixed or modified (e.g.
where whois is no longer available). The TLDs .arpa, .asia, and .tel were
added, as was a whois for the subdomains of Centralnic. Support for the no
longer existing top level domain .cs was removed.

Tue, Feb 19th 2008 10:19
Scientific/Engineering
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
System :: Clustering/Distributed Networks
About: JPPF is a computational grid framework for Java focused on
performance and ease of use. It provides a set of tools and APIs to enable
the parallelization of CPU intensive applications, and distribute their
execution over a network of heterogenous nodes. It features platform
independence thanks to Java 1.5, does not require you to deploy your
application classes to a server, scales up to millions of nodes, has a
built-in fail-over mechanism on all the framework's components, and has a
monitoring and administration GUI tool to enable remote monitoring of the
server health and server shutdown/restart operations.
Changes: A new networking tool, the TCP port multiplexer, was implemented
to enable JPPF to work in firewalled environments. It enables the routing
of all JPPF network traffic through a single port, without any
modification to the existing applications. A new node management feature
was added that enables updating a node's execution thread pool
dynamically. A new node monitoring feature was added, allowing the
collection of the node's system and Java environments. Several bugs were
fixed that caused errors to be raised when management was disabled in a
server or a node.

Tue, Feb 19th 2008 13:34
Scientific/Engineering :: Mathematics
About: Libapmath is a C++ arbitrary precision math library designed to be
as convenient as possible, besides performing well. The approach taken is
that of choosing names like those in <cmath> and implementing all
arithmetic by overloading of operators.
Changes: An improved source tree layout. Sign representation has been
simplified. ++ and -- operators have been added to the "real" interface.
New simple functions that are very handy, e.g. for comparison of absolute
values. Significant improvements in log performance. Improvements to
trigonometric functions. Bugfixes in boolean arithmetic and
multiplication.

Tue, Feb 19th 2008 13:27
Communications :: Email :: Filters
Internet
System :: Networking :: Firewalls
About: mxallowd is a daemon for Linux Netfilter (using libipq) which
implements a slightly improved nolisting mechanism. It requires your name
server to be configured to return two MX IP addresses, and the one with
higher priority must not run a mail server on port 25. mxallowd blocks
attempts to connect to the mail server unless the sender tries to connect
to the first mail server before the second. Since most spammers will
attempt direct connections to each mail server, they will be blocked.
Changes: DNS lookups are now done in a separate thread. This way, the main
process doesn't block for such a long time anymore and therefore can handle
many more connections.

Tue, Feb 19th 2008 05:47
Security
About: Rule Set Based Access Control (RSBAC) is a Free Software security
extension for current Linux kernels. It is based on the Generalized
Framework for Access Control (GFAC) by Abrams and LaPadula and provides a
flexible system of access control based on several modules. All security
relevant system calls are extended by security enforcement code. This code
calls the central decision component, which in turn calls all active
decision modules and generates a combined decision. This decision is then
enforced by the system call extensions.
Changes: This release works both for Linux kernel version 2.4.36 and
version 2.6.23.15. It now supports secure delete on XFS and JFS, and the
new kernel parameter rsbac_list_recover allows you to register lists even
if reading from disk fails. Minor feature enhancements and bugfixes were

System :: Filesystems
About: Tagsistant is a semantic filesystem for Linux and BSD kernels. It
uses directories as tags and allows file tagging by simply putting files
inside desired tag directories. The path you are walking by is your query,
e.g. tagsistant/tag1/AND/tag2/OR/tag3/AND/tag2/. Being a low level
interface, a filesystem can be instantly used by shell users, file
managers, or CGI. A plug-in architecture is under development to add
autotagging functionality for common files like .mp3, .ogg, .jpeg, .html,
and .xml. A transparent ontology engine is also planned to allow users
create a relationship schema between directories by moving one inside the
other.
Changes: Reasoner has been implemented: tags can include other tags or be
equivalent each other. Memory leaks have been removed.

Multimedia :: Graphics :: Viewers
About: view3dscene is a viewer for VRML 1.0, VRML 2.0 (aka VRML 97), 3DS,
MD3, Wavefront OBJ, and Collada files. It supports viewing the scene in
the "Examine" mode and walking in the virtual world with features such as
collision detection and gravity. Rendering is done using OpenGL. A
built-in ray-tracer allows the generation of images with more effects
(like shadows and mirrors) and conforming precisely to the VRML 97
lighting specification. The program can also convert files from 3DS, MD3,
and other formats to VRML and pretty-print VRML files.
Changes: Bump mapping was implemented; you can observe it (and experiment
with various bump mapping methods available) if the VRML model specifies
normal maps. GLSL shaders in VRML files are supported (specified using X3D
syntax). Anti-aliasing is available. There is basic support of Collada
model format (both 1.3.x and 1.4.x versions). Wavefront OBJ format
handling wa improved. Examine mode allows you to rotate and move the scene
by mouse dragging. The --screenshot command-line option was implemented, to
take screenshots in batch mode. Various "fill modes" were implemented.

About: WordPress is a state-of-the-art, semantic, personal publishing
platform with a focus on aesthetics, Web standards, and usability. It was
born out of a desire for an elegant, well-architected personal publishing
system. While primarily geared towards functioning as a Weblog, WordPress
is also a flexible CMS capable of managing many types of Web sites. In
addition to the basic blog functions, it also has an integrated link
manager (e.g. for blogrolls), file attachments, XFN support, support for
stand-alone pages, Atom and RSS feeds for both content and comments,
blogging API support (Atom Publishing Protocol, Blogger, MetaWeblog, and
Movable Type APIs), spam blocking features, advanced cruft-free URL
generation, a flexible theme system, and an advanced plugin API.
Changes: This release fixes a security flaw in the XML-RPC implementation
that could allow a user to edit the posts of other users. It also fixes
several minor bugs.
