[008] - BalanceNG 2.042 
  by Thomas Obermair (http://freshmeat.net/users/thomasobermair/)
  Tue, Mar 4th 2008 23:23

Internet
Internet :: Proxy Servers
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management

About: BalanceNG is a modern software IP load balancing solution. It is
small, fast, and easy to use and setup. It offers session persistence,
different distribution methods (Round Robin, Random, Weighted Random,
Least Session, Least Bandwidth, Hash, Agent, and Randomized Agent) and a
customizable UDP health check agent in source code. It supports VRRP to
set up high availability configurations on multiple nodes. It supports
SNMP, integrating the BALANCENG-MIB with Net-SNMPD. It integrates pcap
packet dumping for debugging purposes and allows the implementation of a
"transparent forensic logging bridge". 

Changes: A new parameter, "maxsyncps", allows you to limit the maximum
number of new session table entries per second being synced from the
master VRRP node to the backup VRRP node. This is useful to avoid unwanted
synchronization traffic during DOS/DDOS attacks towards the virtual server.
A minor bug in parameter processing has been fixed, so upgrading systems
running the 2.x branch is recommended.

  by Jakob Jenkov (http://freshmeat.net/users/jjenkov/)
  Tue, Mar 4th 2008 10:29



About: Butterfly Container is a Java dependency injection container. It is
smaller (~100KB jar), yet more flexible and easier to use than Spring,
Pico, and Guice (at least in the developers' opinion). Instead of XML,
Butterfly Container is configured using a simple, flexible, Java-like
configuration language, or by plugging plain non-annotation,
non-reflection Java factories into the container. There are no external
dependencies. 

Changes: This is the stable release of the 1.9.11-beta. Minor things were
tweaked. The JavaDocs have been updated a bit.

which graphs can be drawn.

Changes: Info mode (print CD/DVD information and quit) is now the default.
A warning about misleading error information was added at startup.

  by macaronyde (http://freshmeat.net/users/macaronyde/)
  Tue, Mar 4th 2008 10:41

Communications
Internet :: Proxy Servers
Internet :: WWW/HTTP

About: cpt aims to be running in front of any HTTPS server. It forwards
all requests that don't call for a "CONNECT .." to the normal HTTPS
server. There is no error handling for mistaken requests; they go straight
to the default server. A request that doesn't pass the conditions is passed
forward too, and the Web server will handle it (with the default error
page). Users should be unaware that cpt is running as a proxy.

Changes: cpt was not able to drop privileges, because of incorrect order
in setgid/setuid.

About: fwm is a lightweight window manager for X based on dwm's source
code. It manages windows in maximized and floating layouts. It is
extremely small, rather fast, and supports Xft. It features nice
titlebars, multiple desktops, theming support, a simple configuration
file, the ability to switch desktops with the mouse wheel, X bitmaps for
title buttons, and true transparency support (through xcompmgr). 

Changes: The remote control tool, setfocus, has been included into the
package, as well as a modified version of the lsw (list windows) tool.
External statusbar support was added, and monocle layout was improved.

[027] - Ghostscript 8.62 
  by Moritz Barsnick (http://freshmeat.net/users/barsnick/)
  Tue, Mar 4th 2008 04:59

Multimedia :: Graphics
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Graphics Conversion
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Viewers

About: Ghostscript is a processor for PostScript and PDF files. It can
rasterize these files to a wide variety of printers, devices for screen
preview, and image file formats. Since applications tend to prepare pages
for printing in a high-level format such as PostScript, most Unix users
with low-level bitmap printers, such as inkjets, use GhostScript as part
of the printing process. In addition, Ghostscript is capable of converting
PostScript files, functionality comparable to Adobe Acrobat Distiller, but
on the command line. In addition, Ghostscript is used for file import and
viewing by a great many other applications, including xv, ImageMagick,
gimp, and xdvi. Several GUI wrappers for viewing PostScript and PDF files
exist, including GSview, ghostview, gv, ggv, and kghostview. This is far
from a comprehensive list.

Changes: The tiffsep device was fixed for using more than 8 colorants.
Shadings, overprinting, and transparency were optimized and are
substantially faster. Changes were made to prevent nearly unbounded growth
in memory usage and corresponding performance problems on a few test cases.
The 'pdfwrite' device was improved to fix some compatibility issues with
PDF/A and to improve some font embedding and other issues. The halftone
tile cache sizes and cache effectiveness were improved to help the
performance when tiling with large cells or threshold arrays. Many other
issues were resolved.

[030] - GOZERBOT 0.8 
  by Bart Thate (http://freshmeat.net/users/bthate/)
  Tue, Mar 4th 2008 13:56



About: GOZERBOT is an IRC and Jabber bot. It can fetch RSS feeds, keep
todo and shopping lists, manage karma and quotes, and remember items. It
supports plugins, has a built-in Web server, and can communicate with
other bots. It can also relay messages received by UDP to a channel or
person, which could be useful for monitoring systems. Relaying between IRC
and Jabber is also possible.

Changes: Third party addons for plugins (needs setup.py to work). Reboots
without disconnects (IRC only for now). IPv6 UDP support. Queues are used
all over the place to reduce thread usage. The normal IRC log format is
now supported (simplelog plugin). IRC can be disabled for Jabber-only
usage. owneruserhost is now a list so that multiple userhosts can be used.
The Jabber reconnect code is improved. RSS error reporting is improved. UDP
code is improved, especially in the Jabber case. There are many other
bugfixes.

  by Luis Araujo (http://freshmeat.net/users/LuisAraujo/)
  Tue, Mar 4th 2008 10:23

System :: Operating System :: Linux Distributions

About: Himerge is a GUI for emerge (Gentoo's Portage system) written in
Haskell using gtk2hs. The main idea is to simplify browsing the entire
portage tree, and allow running the most basic and common options from the
emerge command. It also offers several handy tools, like global and local
use flags browsers, inspired by UFED (the Gentoo Linux USE flags editor).
It also uses eix (a small utility for searching ebuilds with indexing for
fast results) as a back-end command to show package information in
HTML/CSS format, so you can access a package's Web site for a quick
glance.

Changes: The use flags browser has been improved to correctly parse
certain use flags. Himerge is now hackage compliant.

[033] - HTML Forms generation and validation 2008.03.03 
  by Manuel Lemos (http://freshmeat.net/users/mlemos/)
  Tue, Mar 4th 2008 01:02

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries
Software Development :: Libraries :: PHP Classes

About: HTML Forms generation and validation is a PHP class that generates
HTML forms supporting many built-in validation types on server and client
sides. It prevents security attacks by discarding spoofed values, has
multiple submit protection, outputs HTML for fields displayed as fully
accessible or in read-only mode, and has field value filtering and
reformatting. It can be extended with custom control plug-ins. AJAX based
form submission, upload monitor progress bar, auto-complete text input,
automatic layout renderer, calendar date, CAPTCHA, Google Maps world
location selection, linked select, and animation effects plug-ins are
available. 

Changes: The tabbed pages layout plug-in was enhanced to use a fade-in
effect when switching to a new page. The presentation of the page tabs can
now be customized with CSS classes. The animation plug-in was improved to
allow animating page elements with identifiers defined dynamically by
JavaScript expressions. The fade, show, and hide effects can be configured
to use either the visibility or display CSS styles. The calendar date
plug-in was fixed to only allow empty day, month, or year numbers for
optional dates or when the initial date is empty.

  by Seweryn Niemiec (http://freshmeat.net/users/ser/)
  Tue, Mar 4th 2008 10:38

Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Graphics Conversion

About: Imageprot splits a JPEG or PNG image into small sub-images and
creates an HTML page that assembles them back into the complete, original
image in a Web browser. You can use this tool to simply protect your
images from the "Save Image As" action and browser cache exploring. There
is an option to generate random sub-image names, so it is hard to build
the original image without analysing HTML code. This program, for obvious
reasons, does not protect from downloading your image via the screen
capture functionality present in most modern operating systems.

[035] - IP::Country 2.24 
  by Nigel Wetters Gourlay (http://freshmeat.net/users/nwetters/)
  Tue, Mar 4th 2008 23:49

Internet :: Log Analysis
Software Development :: Internationalization
Software Development :: Libraries :: Perl Modules

About: IP::Country is a tool for fast lookup of country codes from IP
addresses. Finding out the country of a client using only the IP address
can be difficult. Looking up the domain name associated with that address
can provide some help, but many IP address are not reverse mapped to any
useful domain, and the most common domain (.com) offers no help when
looking for country. This module comes bundled with a database of
countries where various IP addresses have been assigned. Although the
country of assignment will probably be the country associated with a large
ISP rather than the client herself, this is probably good enough for most
log analysis applications, and under test has proved to be as accurate as
reverse-DNS and WHOIS lookup. 

Changes: The country database was updated.

  Tue, Mar 4th 2008 10:34

Internet
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content

About: OpenMocha is an JavaScript application server and development
framework that supports quick soft-coding and clean hard-coding in
Javascript on the client- and server-side. New projects can be quickly
soft-coded by creating custom Mocha Objects using the Web browser. As the
project matures, these Mocha Objects can be re-factored and hard-coded in
separate code files. The two approaches can be mixed at any time, patching
hard-coded applications through soft-coding even during runtime. It intends
to stretch and scale between fast all-in-one deployment and complex
integration in best-of-breed environments.

Changes: This release fixes a problem with entity/ampersand escaping in
E4X views. It changes failed views to be tagged in the markup and errors
logged to the firebug console. Access properties now resolve to directly
check the access status for the current user and the check, include, and
exclude methods were moved to use a syntax like this.access.include(role,
user). Bugfixes include styles having the correct content type and the
notfound action now correctly setting the response code to 200 when it
maps 404s to existing handlers. Optional XMLBean jars for E4X
compatibility with earlier Java versions have been added.

About: Slackcurrent is a tool that checks if there are newer versions  of
packages installed on Slackware boxes available on a mirror  site. It
determines which packages are installed locally, updates  the list of
remote files available on the mirror site, compares  them, and reports on
updates. 

Changes: The version tokens were expanded to 4 tokens to solve problems
with (official) packages with unwieldy names. When asked to create the
upgrade list, Slackcurrent now tells you about some packages (local and
remote) that will not be handled because of their name formats. It may be
that the names are ok and you just found another bug, but there are some
packages that really don't follow the package name conventions. You'll
need to download and upgrade those packages manually.

  Tue, Mar 4th 2008 23:34

Software Development :: Libraries
System :: Clustering/Distributed Networks

About: The Cell Messaging Layer is a communication library for clusters of
Cell Broadband Engine processors. It implements a subset of the popular MPI
message-passing API on the Cell's SPE processors, with one MPI rank per SPE
across any number of Cells and the ability for any SPE to communicate
directly with any other SPE, even across a network. The Cell Messaging
Layer thereby makes programming clusters of Cell processors similar to
programming clusters of conventional CPUs. 

Changes: This release fixes two critical bugs that would sometimes cause
code running across multiple Cell blades to hang. The Cell Messaging Layer
now seems to run reliably on clusters of Cell processors.
