Multimedia :: Graphics
Multimedia :: Graphics :: 3D Modeling

About: EZFB is a polymorphic, object oriented Linux frame buffer API
written in C, designed to adapt at run time to control any properly
configured Linux frame buffer video system. It offers independent,
simultaneous control of multiple video cards within a single system,
exceptional control of colors, the ability to display all or portions of
bitmap files anywhere on the screen, automatic color depth conversion, the
ability to capture to bitmap files, an 8x8 bitmapped font, routines to draw
points, lines, outlined and filled rectangles, signal trapping for
automatic screen clean-up at process termination, and much more. The
demonstration applications include a bitmap viewer, screen capture
utility, screen saver, and a touch screen calibration utility and an
application for generating, viewing, transforming, and saving files
according to The International Laser Display Association's ILDA file
format.

Changes: This release is radically different from the previous version
(over 3 years ago). The entire core of the frame buffer has been optimized
with pre-calculated pointers to pixel rows, eliminating a lot of redundant
math and pointers to functions, set at initialization, eliminating
redundant switch statements. In other words, it's a lot faster. New
features have been added to enhance and accelerate animation in the frame
buffer. A fully functional version of LaserBoy is included.

by John Dickson (http://freshmeat.net/users/captsens/)
Fri, Mar 21st 2008 01:38

Software Development :: Quality Assurance

About: JCR is a Web application for performing and managing code reviews.
Although it has some special logic for reviewing Java projects, it can be
used for reviews of any type of source code. JCR manages all stages of the
review process (initial project setup, individual review, joint review
meeting, post-review tidy-up), but it's mainly there to show diff views of
files that have changed and to allow comments to be made on any line of any
file marked for review.

Changes: The failure to work with SQLAlchemy versions later than 0.4.0 was
fixed. The failure to view modified files if the JCR base directory was not
under the working directory was fixed. A couple of minor features were
added, including templates for project notes and a working backup script
for sysadmins.

[031] - KMetronome 0.8.1
by Pedro Lopez-Cabanillas (http://freshmeat.net/users/plcl/)
Fri, Mar 21st 2008 16:19

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: MIDI

About: KMetronome is a MIDI metronome with KDE interface, based on the
ALSA sequencer. The intended audience is musicians and music students.
Like solid, real metronomes it is a tool to keep the rhythm while playing
musical instruments. It uses MIDI for sound generation instead of digital
audio, allowing low CPU usage, and very accurate timing thanks to the
ALSA sequencer.

Changes: This release fixes a compilation error using GCC 4. It fixes MIDI
output for QSynth/Fluidsynth and other soft synths. It uses longer
(configurable) durations, or even avoids using note off events entirely.
The schedule is always one bar ahead of the current time to avoid the
nasty little gaps between patterns.

Wx-Renderwindow integration was improved. The scene loading and saving has
been enhanced. Lighting/shadowing is now solely handled through scene
states, making their use more consistent. The guidesigner has been greatly
improved.

[036] - Long Range ZIP 0.23
by Con Kolivas (http://freshmeat.net/users/conman/)
Fri, Mar 21st 2008 01:33

System :: Archiving :: Compression

About: LRZIP is a compression program that can achieve very high
compression ratios and speed when used with large files. It uses the
combined compression algorithms of lzma for maximum compression, lzo for
maximum speed, and the long range redundancy reduction of rzip. It is
designed to scale with increases with RAM size, improving compression
further. A choice of either size or speed optimizations allows for either
better compression than even lzma can provide, or better speed than gzip,
but with bzip2 sized compression levels.

Changes: The LZMA SDK was updated to the latest version, 4.57.
Multithreading support for LZMA was added, which nearly doubles speed. A
gzip compression option was added. An assembler module for CRC computation
was added, but this is dependent on the processor. More enhancements were
made to the lzo_compresses function to avoid LZMA errors. File cleanup was
done. configure.in was changed to improve compiling. Code cleanup was done.
Documentation with benchmarks was improved and expanded. Major bugs were
fixed to work on big RAM machines. A major fix was made to prevent copying
all data above 4GB uncompressed.

Fri, Mar 21st 2008 16:23

Software Development :: Code Generators
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries

About: metaas provides Java applications with a "Document Object Model"
for ActionScript 3 code. Its primary function is generating code, but it
allows existing .as source files to be loaded, and simple modifications to
be made. The current implementation is still immature, and does not support
all AS3 syntax.

Changes: This release has switched to the Apache License. Initial support
for ActionScript expressions was added to the DOM. The API now provides
for 'dynamic' and 'final' class modifiers. Support was added for 'break',
'continue', 'default xml namespace', 'try catch finally', and 'throw'
statements. The false assumption that statement bodies will be code blocks
was fixed, along with other bugs.

Fri, Mar 21st 2008 01:35

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: MPI_Wtick() has been added to the API. Files have been split into
finer pieces to make the library more space-efficient. Internal PPE-to-SPE
data transfers are now implemented in a non-blocking manner.

character references, \u-escapes, standard hexadecimal, raw hexadecimal,
and RFC2396 URI format. Such ASCII equivalents are useful for entering
Unicode in program source or in programs that are not 8-bit safe, and for
testing and debugging. Several options allow Unicode to be converted to
approximately equivalent ASCII, e.g. by stripping diacritics. An optional
GUI is provided.

Changes: Microsoft-style HTML entities lacking the final semi-colon are
now passed on by default rather than converted by ascii2uni. The new -m
flag causes them to be converted. Error messages and warnings from
ascii2uni now include the line number.

[059] - Votorola 0.1.0
by Michael Allan (http://freshmeat.net/users/mcallan/)
Fri, Mar 21st 2008 13:23

About: Votorola is software for hosting open elections. It implements an
electoral system that sits outside of government and beyond the control of
parties. Its voter lists are backed by a trust network that is rooted in
community neighbourhoods. It enables voters to advance their own
candidates for public office, their own policies for executive action, and
their own legislative bills for statutory law.

Changes: The electoral register is now backed by a neighbourhood trust
network. The commands 'trust' and 'untrust' were added to the front end,
allowing voters to submit trust signals for the purpose of
cross-authentication. A channel to Google's geocoding service was added to
the back end, enabling signal ranges to be restricted by configuration
scripts. A complete trace of the trust network is now merged with the
voter list, enabling administrators to restrict voting to trusted
registrants. This completes the functional core of Votorola, bringing it
to alpha.

[064] - XevdevServer 2.0.0

System

About: XevdevServer is a program that uses the Linux evdev interface to
capture events from specific mouse and keyboard devices. It then
translates these events and sends them to an X display using the XTEST
extension. It can be helpful in a multi-seat X configuration.

Changes: This is a complete rewrite of the program. The most important
change is that you can now use a config file to map Linux evdev codes onto
X keycodes. You can also specify custom actions for certain key
combinations in the config file.
