[020] - FrobTADS 0.10 (Interpreter)
by Nikos Chantziaras (http://freshmeat.net/users/realnc/)
Tue, Apr 1st 2008 03:34
Games/Entertainment
About: FrobTADS is a complete rewrite of the Unix console-version of TADS
("Text Adventure Development System"). It uses curses (or ncurses) and
provides an interpreter to play games developed with TADS as well as the
TADS 2 and 3 development tools. It adds support for a number of relatively
recent user interface features including full support for text and
background colors, TADS 3 banner windows, and timed input. It's also much
more portable and more easily maintainable, as it's built to modern Unix
standards.
Changes: The interpreter uses regular ASCII by default to avoid display
problems with apostrophes and quotes. Compilation problems with Mac OS X
10.5 (Leopard), Intel C++, Solaris 10, and the Linux version of the Sun
Studio compilers have been fixed. FrobTADS should now compile and run
correctly as a 64-bit binary and be easier to cross-compile without
modifying any code. The PDCurses library is now correctly detected when
building. It will be used if neither ncurses nor curses is found.

[030] - Himerge 0.18
by Luis Araujo (http://freshmeat.net/users/LuisAraujo/)
Tue, Apr 1st 2008 00:47
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 flag browser was improved and now shows flags classified
alphabetically in independent panels. Himerge now correctly handles the
reload procedure of portage during the installation of packages. The tree
views interface is slightly improved. The views are now updated when
pressing 'Enter' on each row too. Some code was refactored.

the file, line, and method that lead to the execution of each specific
query. The highlighter is now a bit smarter and it does not highlight
keywords in strings. More accurate reporting of queries being run multiple
times. Error reporting was improved for cases of not being able to connect
to the MySQL server or select a database. An issue with the style sheet
file that caused the debug window to position according to the host
application's style sheet was fixed. Some new methods were added.

Office/Business
Scientific/Engineering
About: queXF (pronounced kweks-eff) takes scanned paper forms generated
using queXML and reads them. Operators can then verify that queXF has read
the form correctly. Once this is done, the data collected can be exported
in a fixed width ASCII file with a DDI data description. queXF can be used
as an alternative to programs such as Cardiff Teleform and Remark OMR, in
some situations. It removes the need to manually enter form data,
therefore reducing error and fatigue. It does OMR (Optical Mark
Recognition) on each form to determine if boxes have been filled, and can
use Tesseract OCR to determine what characters have been entered into
boxes.
Changes: Blank page detection was added. Interleaved 2 of 5 barcode is
detected on a form. A long text box field was added. Windows executable
was added for doing a quick installation (e.g. on a USB stick) using
XAMPP. All bugfixes since 1.0.0 are included.

[047] - rsyslog 3.15.0 (Development)
by Rainer Gerhards (http://freshmeat.net/users/rgerhards/)
Tue, Apr 1st 2008 09:03
System :: Logging
About: Rsyslog is an enhanced multi-threaded syslogd. Among other
features, it offers support for on-demand disk buffering, reliable syslog
over TCP, writing to databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and many more),
fully configurable output formats (including high-precision timestamps),
the ability to filter on any part of the syslog message, on-the-wire
message compression, and the ability to convert text files to syslog. It
is a drop-in replacement for stock syslogd and able to work with the same
configuration file syntax.
Changes: This release offers initial RELP support. The RELP protocol
provides superior reliability over plain TCP syslog, ensuring that no
messages are lost. With plain TCP, this can happen if the remote server
goes down. RELP protects from this by utilizing a full-duplex protocol
where each message is acknowledged. RELP should also be safe to use with
stunnel, where plain TCP syslog sometimes gets into trouble. This is an
experimental build and not recommended for production machines.

Changes: CSRF protection was added for each SCMS request by default.
Account locking was improved considerably; now the user logins' counter is
stored in the database in scms_uInvalidLogins in scms_Users. The table
scms_Sessions was redefined. scmsSession_IPCheck was defined to control
whether to tie sessions to their initial IPs, which is another way to
prevent session hijacking. scmsSession_DataEncrypt was defined to control
whether to encrypt the Session Data in the database or not.

Information Management
Internet :: Log Analysis
Security
About: SiLK (System for Internet-Level Knowledge) consists of two sets of
tools: a packing system and an analysis suite. The packing system receives
Netflow V5 PDUs and converts them into a more space efficient format,
recording the packed records into service-specific binary flat files. The
analysis suite consists of tools that can read these flat files and then
perform various query operations, ranging from per-record filtering to
statistical analysis of groups of records. The analysis tools interoperate
using pipes, allowing a user to develop a relatively sophisticated query
from a simple beginning.
Changes: This version provides integration with Python 2.4 or later, and
rwfilter can now filter based on Python expressions. Preliminary support
for IPv6 addresses can be included. rwfilter now supports threads.
Arbitrary notes (annotations) can be added to the headers of some SiLK
files. Site information is completely determined at run-time. Many other
enhancements and bugfixes were made. Note that a few deprecated options
and behaviors have been removed.

About: Webalizer Xtended is a fork of Webalizer and contains a great
number of feature improvements, such as monthly statistics for all "HTTP
404 Not Found" errors (including the number of these errors and the
corresponding URLs), IPv6 support, and additional configuration file
keywords. Furthermore, all colors of the statistics can be defined by the
user. Webalizer Xtended also fixes several (security-related) bugs in the
original Webalizer code and contains the "Geolizer" and "Apache mod_logio"
patches to generate faster and more reliable geographic traffic statistics.
Changes: bzip2 support was added along with a check routine to silence
compiler warnings. The man page and sample.conf were changed (adding bzip2
support). The mangle agent list was modified for Safari on Windows. Several
files were converted from DOS to Unix to decrease patch size. Umlaut
problems, a format bug, several compiler warnings, and a typo in the
configure script were fixed.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management
Office/Business
About: WebGUI is a content management framework built to allow average
business users to build and maintain complex Web sites. It is modular,
pluggable, and platform independent. It was designed to allow the people
who create the content to manage it online, rather than content management
taking up the time of busy IT staff. WebGUI comes with a full host of
features including shopping cart, subscriptions, forums, photo galleries,
FAQs, link lists, blogs, SQL reports, a Web services interface, and a very
configurable user privilege and profiling system.
Changes: This release fixes a number of issues with the syndicated content
and several other assets.

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 adds basic sensor calibration support such that a
multiplier and constant are defined for each of the sensors that can be
calibrated. A new config file, "calibrate.conf", allows configuration of
the calibration. Now (for example) calibration of the rain collector type
is possible: 0.01", 0.2mm, 0.1mm, and other values can be supported.
Station pressure deviations can be calibrated. This release allows ratio
and/or constant calibrations.

[063] - ziproxy 2.5.2

Internet :: Proxy Servers
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
About: Ziproxy is a high-performance forwarding (non-caching) HTTP proxy
that gzips text and HTML files, and reduces the size of images by
converting them to lower quality JPEGs or JPEG 2000. It is intended to
increase the speed for low-speed Internet connections (mobile, dial-up,
other). It's suitable for both home and professional usage. Ziproxy is
fully configurable and also features transparent proxy mode, HTML/JS/CSS
optimization, operation in daemon mode, a detailed access log with
compression statistics, basic authentication, and more.
Changes: A problem where proxy authentication would bring access denial if
it was not requested by Ziproxy was fixed. It is now simply ignored and
access continues as normal. An issue were the proper URL was not sent to
the server and the request failed when connecting to another proxy and
accessing Ziproxy in transparent proxy mode was fixed.

Clear/[Deny]SetVHost, the --no-color option, and the
ClearAllChannelBuffers status command were added. Webadmin defaults were
improved. Only one backup is now kept. The OnConfigLine() module hook now
only works with GM:* lines. A connection now times out after two minutes.
OnFinishedConfig() was removed. Webadmin skins now live in /usr/share/znc.
The new simple_away module was added.
