Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks

About: The Baldrick Application Framework is a library of Perl 5 modules
that provide Web application functionality: session management,
URL-to-handler mapping, user loading, authentication and authorization,
database connectivity and querying, and template-based output generation.
It is a tool for programmers to use in building their own Web applications
("modules"), which can run under CGI or mod_perl. Users on a site should be
able to freely move between modules without re-authenticating, even if
those modules were from different developers.

Changes: This release features an almost complete rewrite of
Baldrick::SpecialTurnip, the module that represents an object read from a
database and allows it to modify and update itself. The new SpecialTurnip
now supports multi-table JOINs, compound primary keys, automatic
validation (via Baldrick::InputValidator) of edits, and automated logging
of changes. This release also adds a new object, Baldrick::Response, which
groups together response-oriented functions from Baldrick::Dogsbody and
Baldrick::Request.

Communications :: Chat
Scientific/Engineering :: Artificial Intelligence
Text Processing

About: Cypher is an AI program that generates the .rdf (RDF graph) and
serql (SeRQL query) representations of plain language input, allowing
users to speak plain language to update and query databases. With robust
definition languages, Cypher's grammar and lexicon can quickly and easily
be extended to process highly complex sentences and phrases of any natural
language, and can cover any vocabulary. Equipped with Cypher, programmers
can begin building next generation semantic Web applications that harness
natural language.

Changes: The RDF-based Lexicon and Framenet dictionary and state machine
were removed. An upgrade was made to Sesame 2. QDSeRQL is now QDSesame and
based on Sesame 2. Console interaction no longer supported. Input/output
files are now used to emulate the compiler process. Some known bugs
remain: if identical input is contained in multiple input files, it will
be output under only one of the corresponding output files and will mask
the other outputs, and sentences must be delimited by line breaks and
should not end in punctuation.

by lamiral (http://freshmeat.net/users/lamiral/)
Tue, Mar 18th 2008 23:39

Communications :: Email
Communications :: Email :: Post-Office :: IMAP
System :: Archiving :: Mirroring

About: imapsync is a tool for facilitating incremental recursive IMAP
transfers from one mailbox to another. It is useful for mailbox migration,
and reduces the amount of data transferred by only copying messages that
are not present on both servers. Read, unread, and deleted flags are
preserved, and the process can be stopped and resumed. The original
messages can optionally be deleted after a successful transfer.

Changes: The --syncinternaldates option is turned on by default. Timezone
is set to TZ=GMT if no timezone is set. A message is ignored when it has
no header. A message ID is added in output warning when no header found.
The program can run with IMAPClient_3.x.x without redefining any functions
(but 3.x.x is still buggy and to be avoided). Unit tests were started.

[030] - littleutils 1.0.20
by Brian Lindholm (http://freshmeat.net/users/brian_lindholm/)
Tue, Mar 18th 2008 00:39

Utilities

About: The littleutils are a collection of small but useful programs.
These programs include a duplicate file finder (repeats), image optimizers
(opt-jpg, opt-png, opt-gif, and recomp-jpg), file renaming utilities
(lowercase and uppercase), archive recompressors (to-bzip, to-7zip, and
to-lzma), a tempfile utility (tempname), text file cleanup utilities
(notabs, notrails, and lreplace), some low-level file query utilities
(filesize, filedate, filemode, and filenode), plus others. Web site
administrators will find the image optimizers particularly useful, while
script writers will find some of the lower-level utilities more useful.

Changes: An issue where the pngstrip utility (and the opt-png script that
called it) would sometimes delete the transparency chunk even without the
-a option was fixed along with a problem where the -t option in filedate
didn't actually create output that was compatible with the -t option of
touch. The memchurn utility was removed entirely as memtest86 or
memtest86+ should be used instead. Portability of the to-7zip script in
the "extra" subdirectory was improved.

[040] - nut 13.3
by Jim Jozwiak (http://freshmeat.net/users/jozwiak/)
Tue, Mar 18th 2008 23:40

Scientific/Engineering :: Medical Science Apps.

About: nut is nutrition software to record what you eat and analyze your
meals for nutrient composition. The database included is the latest USDA
Nutrient Database for Standard Reference. This database contains values
for vitamins, minerals, fats, calories, protein, carbohydrates, fiber,
etc., and includes the essential polyunsaturated fats, Omega-3 and
Omega-6. Nutrient levels are expressed as a percentage of the Daily Value,
the familiar standard of food labeling in the United States, but also can
be fully customized. Foods can be added from recipes or food labels, and
nutrient intake can be graphed. The program is completely menu-driven and
there are no commands to learn.

Changes: This release gives the user more control over essential fatty
acid values. The balance between Omega-6 and Omega-3, as modeled by
William Lands' equation relating dietary intake to the ultimate
composition of cell membrane phospholipids, can now be changed to favor
more or less Omega-3, and this relationship is shown on analysis screens.
The maximum allowable amount of EPA and DHA can also be set. If this
maximum is set low, the program shows by how much Omega-6 would have to be
restricted in order to meet the target.

[044] - Open Computer Forensics Architecture 2.1.0
by klpd (http://freshmeat.net/users/klpd/)
Tue, Mar 18th 2008 01:01

About: The Open Computer Forensics Architecture (OCFA) is a modular
computer forensics framework to automate the digital forensic process, to
speed up the investigation and give tactical investigators direct access
to the seized data through an easy to use search and browse interface. The
architecture forms an environment where existing forensic tools and
libraries can be easily plugged into the architecture and can thus be made
part of the recursive extraction of data and metadata from digital
evidence. It aims to be highly modular, robust, fault tolerant, recursive,
and scalable in order to be usable in large investigations that spawn
numerous terabytes of evidence data and cover hundreds of evidence items.

Changes: This version includes some refactored subsystems that should make
the architecture a bit faster and easier to integrate with other
programming languages like Java and Perl. With the new treegraph library,
it should now be a lot simpler to create custom treegraph-based modules
for the architecture.

duplications even on a server or a network failure. It is also possible to
build a message broker above the API used for relaying. Also, clients can
now subscribe to more than one table at once. The subscription priority
can be specified, so one can create a priority queue using multiple
tables.

timers, and any I/O device that can be represented as a file descriptor,
radlib simplifies the implementation of multi-purpose processes, as well
as multi-process applications. In short, radlib is a sincere attempt to
provide real-time OS capability on a non-real-time OS.

Changes: stdin, stdout, and stderr redirection to /dev/null was added for
radUtilsBecomeDaemon.

program runs from a Unix system via a Web browser, and uses Google Charts
to produce graphics.

Changes: This release adds better time and date-range selection, making it
easier to view items from a specific time in the log. This also makes some
queries run more quickly since more data can be excluded from queries
based on date. There are also several minor bugfixes.

characters cross-referenced in decomposition and casing fields are named.
Regular expression search restricted to a selected column is available.
The set of characters for which information is displayed may be restricted
to those characters matching a regular expression on a specified property.

Changes: This release adds the ability to save the filtered data to a file
and to read certain parameters, including the directory containing a local
copy of UnicodeData.txt, from an init file. It also detects whether it is
running under Tk 8.5 or earlier and adapts font sizes appropriately. A
single-file executable is now available for FreeBSD.

[064] - Vamos 0.4 (rootz)
by whadar (http://freshmeat.net/users/whadar/)
Tue, Mar 18th 2008 23:25

System :: Software Distribution
System :: Software Distribution Tools

About: Vamos project allows computers to run software directly from the
network, without installations. The software is stored on servers and is
centrally maintained without the user's effort or attention. The user just
needs to run applications, and the necessary bits are streamed
automatically to its computer. The execution of the software is local,
allowing high responsiveness and distributed computational load.

Changes: The bound directories and the copied files of /etc/ were made
configurable. The system now detects if rootz-launcher is started from the
browser or from the CLI. The setup-browser was fixed. The use of tac was
removed, since not every system has tac. The HTML "welcome page" page is
shown when there is no available GUI.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management

About: WordPress is a state-of-the-art, semantic, personal publishing

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 has a completely redesigned back-end admin
interface, multi-file uploads, a media manager, one-click plugin upgrades,
faster page loading, image gallery functionality, and built-in support for
Gravatars (replaceable by plugins for other avatar services).

[068] - wview 3.7.1
by Mark Teel (http://freshmeat.net/users/mteel/)
Tue, Mar 18th 2008 00:49

Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Scientific/Engineering

About: wview is an application that controls a supported weather station
to retrieve archive records and current conditions. Archive records may
optionally be stored in a relational database (MySQL or PostgreSQL). At a
user-defined interval, wview will use the archive history and current
conditions to generate weather images (buckets and graphs) and Web pages
based on configurable HTML templates. It supports serial and USB data
loggers, as well as connectivity with a terminal server or serial server
via TCP sockets.

Changes: This release enabled NOAA generation for metric stations. A bug
in wviewconfig that prevented non-standard database names for SQL setup
was fixed. Start script generation was fixed to use $exec-prefix instead
of $prefix for "WVIEW_INSTALL_DIR". A new !--stationType-- tag was added
so that the weather station type can be produced for HTML pages, etc.
wviewconfig was modified to allow specification of the station type. The
"Generic" type was removed and "Simulator", "WXT510", and "WS-2300" were
added.

[069] - Xapian and Omega 1.0.6
by Olly Betts (http://freshmeat.net/users/OllyBetts/)
Tue, Mar 18th 2008 00:43

Information Management
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Indexing/Search
Software Development :: Libraries

About: Xapian is a search engine library, scalable to collections
containing hundreds of millions of documents. It's written in C++ with
bindings for Perl, Python, PHP, Java, Tcl, C#, and Ruby. It is a highly
adaptable toolkit that allows developers to easily add advanced indexing
and search facilities to their own applications. It supports the
Probabilistic Information Retrieval model and also a rich set of boolean
query operators. Omega is a Web search application built upon the Xapian
library. It can index a Web server's document tree (including HTML, PDF,
OpenOffice, MS Word/Excel/Powerpoint/Works, WordPerfect, RTF, PS, etc.),
or data exported from arbitrary sources (e.g. SQL databases).

Changes: This release adds the ability to perform single-ended value range
checks. The stemmers have been sped up. xapian-check and xapian-compact now
handle user metadata better. Base files are now updated atomically to avoid
problems with reading processes finding partially written ones. Lazily
created tables now get the correct revision. OS/2 support has been
integrated. omindex now supports indexing of DjVu files. Three new
OmegaScript commands have been added: $addfilter, $lower, $upper. The
Python module now always has the extension which Python expects, which
fixes a problem on Mac OS X.
