About: AgileWiki is meant to create software systems which are fluid,
easily configured and can be reorganized on-the-fly to meet ever changing
requirements. It includes a COW-based database, the Rolonics programming
paradigm, and semantic inferencing.
Changes: Queries are now scriptable and extensible. Responses to all
commands are now standardized, so you can add queries without changing the
client code. Several obsolete opcodes in the server were dropped. An
elements query no longer displays links. The listUsers utility has been
replaced by a script. A migration script is included for upgrading
existing branches to work with this release.

Internet
System :: Networking
About: Babel is a distance-vector routing protocol for IPv6 and IPv4. It
is designed to be robust and work efficiently on both wired networks and
wireless mesh networks.
Changes: Route retractions are now sent multiple times, which speeds up
convergence with heavy packet loss. There are minor tweaks to the request
and update sending logic, which reduces the amount of routing traffic but
doesn't affect convergence speed.

Multimedia :: Graphics :: Editors
Scientific/Engineering
Text Processing :: Markup :: TeX/LaTeX
About: The cb2Bib is a tool for rapidly extracting bibliographic
references from email alerts, journal Web pages, and PDF files. It
facilitates the capture of single references from unformatted and non
standard sources. Output references are written in BibTeX. Article files
can be easily linked and renamed by dragging them onto the cb2Bib window.
The cb2Bib permits editing and browsing of BibTeX files, searching of
references and the contents of linked files, and the addition of citations
into document editors.
Changes: The extraction context menu has been adapted to include the
dynamic bookmarks. PubMed extractions have been set to keep IDs as URL
BibTeX fields. The cb2Bib reference browser has been updated accordingly,
to ease posterior access to PubMed article entries. The file BibTeX field
can now be configured to be relative to the current BibTeX file, to
facilitate using removable devices for article storage.

model). You can also create your own configuration model to get a
configuration tool for your own application.
Changes: The model has been reworked to better fit with Config::Model
features. config-model-edit now works when starting a new model from
scratch.

[014] - Crate Game Engine 20080406
by Jason Turner (http://freshmeat.net/users/lefticus/)
Mon, Apr 7th 2008 09:12
Games/Entertainment
Software Development :: Libraries
About: The Crate Game Engine is a game engine that is designed to make
creating games trivial. The rendering and scripting engines are removed
from the game engine to make the specialization of games as easy as
possible. Currently, scripting support is implemented to allow a Lua
script to be put directly in the game file, which can be validated as XML.
Multiplayer text based adventure-style games can be played with the
existing console rendering engine.
Changes: This release adds Lua support to the build scripts so that user
intervention is no longer required. Lua support has been moved into a
proper loadable module.

higher. A sortBy=_relevance_ search option was added. The HTML filter was
enhanced to use less memory. lucene.jar was upgraded to the latest
version. A cron scheduler display bug was fixed. An integer overflow when
indexed documents are around Integer.MAX_VALUE was fixed. Indexing a Zip
file inside BLOB columns was fixed. Partial data is avoided if errors
happen while recreating an index. A time-based ranking exception when the
date value is null was fixed. The showIndexUsage action is now open to a

Internet
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Conversion
About: PHP Video Toolbox is a PHP class that wraps around the FFmpeg,
FLVTools2, and Mencoder programs to allow PHP developers to manipulate and
convert video files in an easy-to-use object-oriented way. It also
currently provides FFmpeg-PHP emulation in pure PHP, so you wouldn't need
to compile and install the module. It isn't intended as a FFmpeg-PHP
replacement, only an alternative solution. It is recommended that if you
make heavy use of the FFmpeg-PHP functionality you should install the
module, as it is more efficient.
Changes: Pure PHP based emulation of FFmpeg-PHP was added. New examples
were added. secondsToTimecode was reworked to provide better timecode
manipulation. Image sequence outputs were reworked to provide more options
for naming the sequences. More information was added to getFileInfo and
getFFmpegInfo and fixes were made for them.
