free core class libraries for use with virtual machines and compilers for
the Java programming language. It includes all native methods and core
classes necessary for a completely functional execution environment.
Changes: The main feature of this release is major changes to Classpath's
build system. Notably, configure now tries to find ecj, javac, and gcj (in
that order), and the --with-ecj and --with-javac options were removed. To
override this, set JAVAC when calling configure. Building also now
requires a version of javah so that headers may be generated. There have
also been many bugfixes over the past four months.

effective in the game play) and classes along with four new races. Party
setup for new games is now working. An on-screen party portraits view was
added for visualizing your party. A set of portraits was added for use
with the character generator.

Tue, Feb 26th 2008 07:59
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
About: LimeSurvey (formerly PHPSurveyor) is a Web application that
interacts with MySQL or MSSQL to develop surveys, publish surveys, and
collect responses to surveys. Once a survey has been created, data can be
inserted into the survey either by a "pretty" public screen which presents
each question one at a time, or by a quick and nasty data entry screen. It
includes the capacity to generate individualized "tokens", so that
invitations can be issued to participants. It also has the capacity to set
conditions on whether questions will display (branching), numerous question
types, and a basic statistics function.
Changes: This version implements numerous new and highly professinal
features, including HTML WYSIWYG editing, quota support to limit
participant groups based on their answers, the dual scale matrix question
type, an advanced condition designer, the ability to easily upload
resources (movies, pictures) to use in your survey, advanced
administration user management, more translations, HTML email messages,
Postgres database support, and lots of smaller features.

[021] - Monitorix 1.1.2
by Jordi Sanfeliu (http://freshmeat.net/users/Mikaku/)
Tue, Feb 26th 2008 01:27
System :: Monitoring
About: Monitorix is a lightweight monitoring tool designed to monitor as
many services as it can. At this time, it monitors from the CPU load and
temperatures to the users on the system. Network device activity, network
service demand, and even the devices' interrupt activity are also
monitored. It uses RRDtool as its logging and graphing back-end. The
current status of any corporate UNIX/Linux server with Monitorix installed
can be accessed via a Web browser.
Changes: The URL appearing in the bottom of each graph is automatically
converted into a link (if enabled by MULTIHOST_FOOTER) in the Multihost
mode. A zero is displayed instead of NULL when there is no value in the
monthly file of traffic during the daily collecting of counters. A bug in
the interrupt names that removed its first character, affecting only
(mostly old) machines with local-APIC-edge support was fixed.

by imipak (http://freshmeat.net/users/imipak/)
Tue, Feb 26th 2008 03:06
Multimedia :: Graphics
About: pfstools is a set of command line programs (and one GUI program)
for reading, writing, manipulating, and viewing high-dynamic range (HDR)
images and video frames. All programs in the package exchange data using
Unix pipes and a simple generic HDR image format (pfs). It is meant to be
similar to the netpbm package for low-dynamic range images. Note that pfs
in not just another format for storing HDR images. It is more an attempt
to integrate the existing HDR image formats by providing a simple data
format that can be used to exchange data between applications.
Changes: The manntiuk06 tone-mapping operator was refactored. Some serious
bugs causing "stripes" in some images have been fixed.

[032] - SCMS 0.5
by Dash Shendy (http://freshmeat.net/users/d4sh/)
Tue, Feb 26th 2008 06:10
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management
About: SCMS is a secure content management system. Some of its features
are a role-based object-oriented design, conformance to XHTML 1.0
Transitional, strict I/O (input/output) validation, a custom session
implementation, support for SSL and cookies (when run over SSL), session
identifier regeneration, idle session expiration, account locking, account
unlocking methods, encryption (with MD5, AES, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512, or
WHIRLPOOL), and event logging.
Changes: The php.ini settings "allow_url_fopen" and "allow_url_include"
were changed to "off" in scms_config.php by default. A new named constant,
scmsHexLinx, was defined and implemented in scms_config.php to enable
hexing of URLs. It is on by default. Authentication error numbers 4 and 7
were removed and instead were made the same as 3, since they made username
guessing possible. An error was fixed in UnlockCode Sending via email link.

[042] - ZoneMinder 1.23.2
by Philip Coombes (http://freshmeat.net/users/pcoombes/)
Tue, Feb 26th 2008 03:01
Multimedia :: Video
Multimedia :: Video :: Capture
Multimedia :: Video :: Display
About: ZoneMinder is a suite of applications intended for use in video
camera security applications, including theft prevention and child or
family member monitoring. It supports capture, analysis, recording, and
monitoring of video data coming from one or more video or network cameras
attached to a Linux system. It also features a user-friendly Web interface
which allows viewing, archival, review, and deletion of images and movies
captured by the cameras. The image analysis system is highly configurable,
permitting retention of specific events, while eliminating false positives.
ZoneMinder supports both directly connected and network cameras and is
built around the definition of a set of individual 'zones' of varying
sensitivity and functionality for each camera. This allows the elimination
of regions which should be ignored or the definition of areas which will
alarm if various thresholds are exceeded in conjunction with other zones.
All management, control, and other functions are supported through the Web
interface.
Changes: This release addresses a number of minor issues that have arisen
since the previous version, particularly if using the new deep storage
format or systems that do not support gnutls.
