CUPS-PDF as a new 3rd argument. The PPD file now carries an
IEEE1284-device ID to enable automatic selection. The exit codes of the
backend were corrected to match CUPS' specifications.

Sun, Mar 23rd 2008 07:12
Database
Database :: Front-Ends
Information Management :: Document Repositories
About: hiberlite provides C++ object-relational mapping for SQLite 3. Its
design and API are inspired by the Boost.Serialization, which means there
is almost no API to learn. In contrast to most serialization libraries
with SQL serializers, C++ objects mapped with hiberlite behave similar to
active record patterns: you are not forced to follow the "read all your
data/modify some small part/write everything back" path. It is for people
who need reliable data storage, ACID transactions, and simple random
access to their data files, and don't like coding in SQL.

[016] - Hotwire 0.721
by Colin Walters (http://freshmeat.net/users/colinwalters/)
Sun, Mar 23rd 2008 16:07
Software Development
About: Hotwire is an object-oriented hypershell. It is a shell designed
for systems programming (files, processes), and thus it is in the same
conceptual category of software as the Unix shell/terminal and Windows
PowerShell. The goal of the Hotwire project is to create a better systems
programming shell than both Unix and PowerShell. It is called a
hyper-shell because Hotwire blends the concepts of a traditional shell
with a modern graphical user interface display.
Changes: This release has an entirely revamped UI. The goal is to be
closer to a shell/terminal interface than before, giving more space to the
output of commands while still allowing use of the mouse for operations.
You can define Hotwire builtins as regular Python functions, but with a
decorator.

[019] - libhyphenate 1.1
by Thiton (http://freshmeat.net/users/Thiton/)
Sun, Mar 23rd 2008 18:36
Text Processing
About: libhyphenate is a library that provides an implementation of Frank
Liangs hyphenation algorithm, better known as the TeX hyphenation
algorithm, for C++. It is similar to the libhnj implementation, but, in
contrast to libhnj, actually works reliably and is well-documented. It has
been tested for English and German. The implementation fully works in and
with UTF-8.
Changes: UTF-8 characters are now handled correctly by the functions from
glib2, which fixes some bugs in non-ASCII languages, and some other bugs
were purged. libhyphenate not only correctly hyphenates whole texts
instead of single words now, but can also determine the best hyphenation
point to fit the text into a given width: just what you need to implement
fixed-width columns.

is pws, a Qt-based GUI built around libpws which aims to be an easy-to-use
but powerful passwordsafe implementation.
Changes: Some Qt versions seem to have problems with
malloc_secure()/free_secure(). The management of secured memory regions
was rearranged to use a simple linked list instead of storing the size
information directly inside of the allocated memory object. This should
fix these Qt issues.

[030] - Qtractor 0.1.2
by Rui Nuno Capela (http://freshmeat.net/users/rncbc/)
Sun, Mar 23rd 2008 16:03
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio
About: Qtractor is an Audio/MIDI multi-track sequencer application. The
initial target platform is Linux, using the infrastructure of the Jack
Audio Connection Kit (JACK) for audio and the Advanced Linux Sound
Architecture (ALSA) for MIDI. It is meant to be a fairly-featured Linux
desktop audio workstation GUI, specially dedicated to the personal home
studio.
Changes: Creating new clips from scratch and track record monitoring with
audio effects applied are now finally possible. There are plenty of new
Track/View menu items, which are all shortcut configurable. The rendering
of overlapped clips has hopefully been fixed. MIDI editor selection has
been improved. There is a new clip-split command. VST plug-in parameters
are now (mostly) undo/redo-able.

by xhochy (http://freshmeat.net/users/xhochy/)
Sun, Mar 23rd 2008 22:10
Office/Business :: Scheduling
About: Schoorbs is a system to make room and resource bookings through a
Web 2.0 GUI. You can also interact with it through a REST API. It allows
you to book rooms and resources grouped by areas. Activity can be logged
via a simple logging interface. The code is automatically tested by
several unit tests. The interface can easily be styled through the usage
of a template system. Schoorbs produces valid XHTML 1.1 output, has
packages for Debian and Ubuntu, and is well documented online.
Changes: The GUI was flavored with mircoformats. The search interface was
rewritten. A REST (Web service) interface was added. The GUI was
refreshed. The code runs without register_globals=on and without an
emulation of this. Several SQL injection possibilities were fixed. A
simple logging interface was added. The JavaScript code was rewritten to
work in modern browsers (using jQuery). JavaScript and CSS are delivered
compressed.

[034] - SIPFwd 0.4
by Christof Meerwald (http://freshmeat.net/users/cmeerw/)
Sun, Mar 23rd 2008 18:24
Communications :: Internet Phone
Internet :: Proxy Servers
About: The SIP forwarding daemon (implemented as a stateless SIP proxy)
allows you to seamlessly forward SIP requests to other SIP servers. Its
main purpose is to enable users to use their own domain name in SIP URIs
without the hassle of having to run a full-blown SIP server (by forwarding
SIP requests to third-party SIP servers). Configuration information is
stored in an SQLite database, and low resource consumption is a main
priority for the project.

[035] - Socketpipe 1.9
by Diomidis Spinellis (http://freshmeat.net/users/diomidis/)
Sun, Mar 23rd 2008 06:45
Internet
System :: Networking
Utilities
About: Socketpipe directly connects the input/output of a remote process
with local programs over a TCP/IP socket. Although the initial
communication setup is performed through client-server intermediaries
such as SSH or RSH, the communication channel that socketpipe establishes
is a direct socket connection between the local and the remote processes,
similar to a local pipe. The use of socketpipe removes the inefficiency of
multiple data copies and context switches through RSH/SSH, and can in many
cases offer dramatic throughput improvements.
Changes: This version introduces a fix to clean up clients when a server
disappears during the operation.

[038] - XHTML Hyphenator 1.1
by Thiton (http://freshmeat.net/users/Thiton/)
Sun, Mar 23rd 2008 18:36
Text Processing :: Markup :: HTML/XHTML
About: XHTML Hyphenator is a filter for XHTML documents that will insert
soft hyphens at the proper hyphenation points. It will hyphenate all words
in text nodes that are children of nodes in the XHTML namespace and not
part of the header (or, long story short, the text part of an XHTML
document and nothing else). The hyphenation pattern used is derived from
the xml:lang attribute governing the text. Soft hyphens are displayed
correctly by most modern browsers and not at all by Mozilla Firefox, so
you won't break anything by inserting hyphens, and it improves the text
appearance considerably.
Changes: XHTML Hyphenator doesn't choke up on DTDs anymore, and frees the
XML tree correctly.
