About: AgileWiki is meant to create software systems which are fluid,
easily configured and can be reorganized on-the-fly to meet ever changing
requirements. It includes a COW-based database, the Rolonics programming
paradigm, and semantic inferencing.
Changes: The result of a JTransaction is now a RolonModel. Responses are
now ledger sections in the results rolon. Common, DRM, and COODBMS

Communications :: File Sharing
Internet :: File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
About: aria2 is a utility for downloading files. The supported protocols
are HTTP(S), FTP, BitTorrent, and Metalink. It has a powerful segmented
downloading ability, downloading a file from multiple sources and multiple

downloading a file from HTTP(S)/FTP and BitTorrent at the same time, while
the data downloaded from HTTP(S)/FTP is uploaded to the BitTorrent swarm.
Using Metalink's chunk checksums, aria2 automatically validates chunks of
data while downloading a file like BitTorrent.
Changes: This release adds categorized help messages and protocol
preference for Metalink downloads and Expat library support, and the
following BitTorrent extensions: DHT, Peer-Exchange, and Message Stream
Encryption. Polish, Thai, Indonesian, Norwegian Nynorsk, and Hungarian

call_super() allows calling overridden templates and loadLibrary() loads
libraries on demand. Improved nls support for binary data in files and
images. Fully integrated TinyMCE, so all browsers can now use full
WYSIWYG.

procedures to adapt to any need that might arise. It improves the build
process by, for example, providing complete automatic dependency tracking
using the power of Cook.
Changes: This is the initial release. It contains support for C programs,
static libraries, installing and cleaning the project, and creating a
distribution tarball. An example of building cook with itself using
Cookbooks is available.

[013] - Gecode 2.1.0
by Guido Tack (http://freshmeat.net/users/odiug/)
Fri, Feb 29th 2008 10:14
Software Development :: Libraries
About: Gecode is a portable, accessible, and efficient environment for
developing constraint-based systems and applications. Gecode is radically
open for programming, meaning that it can be easily interfaced to other
systems. It supports the programming of new propagators (as implementation
of constraints), branching strategies, and search engines. New variable
domains can be programmed at the same level of efficiency as finite domain
and integer set variables that come predefined with Gecode.
Changes: The partly reimplemented kernel is faster, simpler, and uses less
memory. The value range for variables has been increased to nearly full
32-bit. The reflection API is now fully functional and considered stable.
Through more thorough testing, several minor and some major bugs were
discovered and fixed.

Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
About: Gecode/J is a Java interface to the Gecode C++ constraint
progamming library. Gecode/J is mainly aimed at education, presenting a
slightly simplified interface compared to Gecode. Using Gecode/J, modeling
constraint problems, programming custom propagators, branchings, and search
engines are possible directly in Java. There is also an interactive
graphical search tool, the Gecode/J Explorer.
Changes: This release has been updated to work with the latest release of
Gecode (2.1.0). In addition, several bugs have been fixed, and the
interface should be safer now (Java exceptions instead of crashes).

[029] - mod_cache for lighttpd 1.4.2
by Que HY (http://freshmeat.net/users/qhy/)
Fri, Feb 29th 2008 10:19
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: HTTP Servers
About: mod_cache is a cache plugin for lighttpd. It works like Squid with
a similar configuration. However, mod_cache is faster and more effective
than Squid because of the power of lighttpd.
Changes: A bug in the fetchall-for-range-request option has been fixed.
This release can work with the mod_flv_streaming module. modcache 1.4.2
has been backported to lighttpd 1.4.18 as modcache 1.4.3.

[031] - Octave support for SWIG 0.1
by xdelacour (http://freshmeat.net/users/xdelacour/)
Fri, Feb 29th 2008 13:20
Software Development :: Build Tools
Software Development :: Code Generators
Software Development :: Libraries
About: This software adds Octave support to SWIG. Octave code can use
C/C++ functions, variables, constants and enums, classes (member
variables, methods, single/multiple inheritance, etc), and templates.
Argument/result translation is completely extensible via %typemap and
other declarations in interface files. Octave operators map to C++
operators, methods, or global functions. Octave code can subclass C++
types and implement their virtual methods (i.e., C++ code transparently
calls Octave code). There is some support for STL containers. There are
many automated tests and examples.

existing and recurring practical problems, and remedy annoying features of
the Java language or its frameworks. The value of this framework is not
only the code, but also the ideas for solutions to the problems. The goals
are to collect and centralize "utility abstractions", and to serve as a
repository of knowledge/smart ideas for programmers to learn.

from the selection , using the "-n°" syntax, and a new "max=$int" selector
allows you to limit absolutely the amount of tasks printed. The ability to
print global reports about the stacks state was also added, so you can
have a quick overview of all of the projects managed with tofu.

[051] - Tunguska 0.0.2

Fri, Feb 29th 2008 13:29
System :: Emulators
About: Tunguska is a computer emulator and virtual machine that uses
numerical base three (ternary) number system for its lowest-level
operations instead of the commonly used base two (binary) number system.
Its goal is to provide a useful experimental platform, on par with early
personal computers.
Changes: The biggest change is the new and almost completely rewritten
assembler (based on flex/yacc). It comes with a new and clearer syntax,
inline arithmetic, variables, and a whole new level of stability.
Interrupt queuing has been reworked, and behaves a lot more predictably.
Vector and raster graphics have been added. Support for a virtual floppy
drive of sorts has also been added, as well as support for a computer
mouse. Output is compressed with zlib, granting in many cases a
hundredfold size reduction of the memory images read and written by
Tunguska. There are some bugfixes.

Multimedia :: Graphics :: Presentation
Text Processing :: General
About: WP Clipart is an attempt to make a useful clipart package of public
domain images for use in word processors. It includes an optional
cross-platform viewer/editor written with Python/wxWidgets. The collectoin

alphabetically listed, all US states, historical figures, and a sign
language alphabet).
Changes: The viewer/editor has been updated. The ability to set the
startup directory (where to look for clip art) as a menu item has been
added. This is mostly useful if not used with the wpclipart collection, or
if the clip art is located on a central server and not installed with the
viewer/editor. This release will also take a path if started with a path
parameter, so a path can be placed in a global shortcut. A save button has
been added to the GUI. The clip art count is now up to 20,100 images.
