  Mon, Mar 3rd 2008 14:43

Communications :: File Sharing
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Browsers

About: CGIProxy is a Perl CGI script that acts as an Internet proxy.
Through it, you can retrieve resources that may be inaccessible from your
own machine. The user is kept as anonymous as possible from any servers.
HTTP and FTP are supported, and optionally SSL. Common uses include
censorship circumvention, VPN-like setups, anonymous proxies, personal
proxies, and others. Options include text-only browsing (to save
bandwidth), selective cookie and script removal, simple ad filtering,
access restriction by server, encoded target URLs and cookies,
configuration by end user, and much more (currently about 50 config
options). Javascript is fully supported. An online demo is available.

Changes: This release contains many fixes, workarounds, and performance
improvements in the JavaScript support, and thus many more sites are
working correctly through it. Also, Shockwave Flash apps are now
supported, making e.g. video display at youtube.com work correctly.

[009] - Config::Model 0.619

  Mon, Mar 3rd 2008 03:48

Information Management :: Metadata/Semantic Models
Software Development :: Libraries :: Perl Modules
Software Development :: Quality Assurance

About: Config-Model provides a framework for validating the semantic
content of any configuration data. With a configuration model (data
structure), config-model provides a validation engine. A curses interface
is provided to enter configuration data. Config-Model includes a model
example for fstab and a small fstab demo.

Changes: Since version 0.617, some methods were added to get more
information from the model. This was necessary for the Perl/Tk GUI. A way
to save configuration files in an alternate directory was added, so you
can try editing config files without being root. The awkward enum_integer
value type was removed.

Communications :: Email :: Filters
Internet

About: DynaStop is a utility to examine IPv4 based addresses for Exim and
procmail for the purpose of filtering based upon patterns defined by the
administrator. This can be a pivotal factor in email filtering and server
load management, since dynamic IP addresses are typically used for
dial-up, DHCP, and DSL accounts. All of which have a designated mail
exchange server through which all outbound mail flows as defined with
many, if not most, large Internet service providers. 

Changes: The example configuration files were updated.

[022] - Fracture 0.2 
  by Cameron Shelton (http://freshmeat.net/users/csshelton/)
  Mon, Mar 3rd 2008 14:45

Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries

About: Fracture is a Java library that simplifies multi-core development.
It accomplishes this by allowing a developer to easily replace
CPU-intensive loops with a static method call that divvies the work to the
available cores/CPUs. Future releases will focus on providing mechanisms
for more complex scenarios, as well as provide programmatic access to the
underlying object structure.

Changes: This release focuses on reducing synchronization overhead for
data sets that allow for random access, the addition of rudimentary JUnit
test cases, and a few refactorings.

[025] - gtkaml 0.2.0.0 
  by b100dian (http://freshmeat.net/users/b100dian/)
  Mon, Mar 3rd 2008 08:41

Software Development :: Code Generators
Software Development :: Compilers

About: gtkaml is an XML syntax and an XML parser that extends the
Vala.Parser and transforms all your XML tags into a valid Gtk+ UI class.
It features a compact XML syntax for describing the way Gtk widgets are
laid out in a (new) custom widget you're creating. Code "islands" (written
in Vala) are used for widget signal handling and other
methods/signals/properties that you're introducing. It doesn't depend on
an external library at run-time, and it is much more readable than the
usual UI boilerplate. 

Changes: You can now use either hyphens or underscores in attribute names.
The constructors and add functions can have default argument values
specified in Gtk.implicits. The gtkaml:construct and gtkaml:preconstruct
attributes support adding code to the construct {} method. The
gtkaml:implements attribute was added for listing comma-separated
implemented interfaces. The gtkaml:existing attribute was added for
skipping the creation of a widget. The gtkaml:standalone attribute was
added for skipping the add into the parent container. The Windows support
was improved.

Software Development

About: NoMachine NX is a fast terminal server and desktop virtualization
system based on the X11 protocol. NX is an order of magnitude faster than
VNC or X11 and can run on bandwidth as narrow as 10 kBit/sec. In addition,
NX translates and embeds the MS Windows Terminal Server and VNC protocols
into X/NX, enabling users to compress and accelerate remote Windows and
VNC sessions. The NX project provides a suite of libraries and X11
proxying agents implementing efficient compression and optimized transport
of X11, SMB, IPP, HTTP, and arbitrary protocols like audio and video over
the Internet.

Changes: This package offers the possibility to configure the RDP session
to run a single Windows application. Starting VNC sessions by using NX
Builder may fail. Notice and Warning messages may be displayed in the Web
page when running NX Builder. Both of these problems have been fixed.

powerful classing abilities for drawing out the similarities between hosts
while allowing them to be as specific as necessary, and it handles
dependency and prerequisite relationships between objects clearly and
explicitly. 

Changes: This release fixes many bugs apparently introduced in 0.24, most
of them relatively minor.
