Thu, Apr 10th 2008 05:56
Communications :: Email :: Filters
Software Development :: Libraries :: PHP Classes
About: PHP MIME Mail decoder class is a PHP class to parse and decode MIME
email messages. It supports decoding single RFC 2822 MIME messages or
archives that aggregate multiple messages in the mbox format. It can
decode messages read from files or data strings. The bodies of multipart
messages can be decoded into distinct sub-messages. Optionally, the
message body data can be saved to separate files, so the class can handle
messages larger than the available memory. The parser can tolerate some
syntax errors in malformed messages that are not compliant with RFC 2822.
Changes: The class now correctly handles messages that mix different types
of line breaks.

linear fit without the constant term, and made improvements to the
multilayer plots and to the Python script interface. You can now create a
3x2 grid of 2D plots with a single line of code: newGraph("Title", 6, 3,
2). A crash when importing ASCII to matrices was fixed along with issues
with copy/paste in tables. A few other minor bugs were fixed.

Office/Business :: Groupware
Office/Business :: Scheduling
About: RDVz is a Web application for setting conveniences for meeting
appointments between several persons. RDVz uses a poll system: each

as available or available only if needed for one or several dates. The
organizer can export poll results in a CSV file. Anonymous access, MySQL,
LDAP, and SSO (CAS) authencation methods are available.
Changes: CSV export was fixed. Authentication configuration was improved.
Documentation about each authentication method was improved. Some design
improvements were made.

[034] - SciTE-debug 0.9.1
by Steve Donovan (http://freshmeat.net/users/stevedonovan/)
Thu, Apr 10th 2008 06:32
Software Development :: Debuggers
About: Scite-debug is an extension for the popular SciTE editor which
allows several debugger backends to be used. Breakpoints can be set
visually and values evaluated by tooltip, etc. Currently, C/C++ (gdb),
Lua, and Python are fully supported. There is experimental support for
Java and Mono.
Changes: When running GDB, scite-debug will now try to dereference any
pointer values automatically wherever possible. It is now possible to
debug shared libraries where the host program has no debug symbols. As a
special but important case, integrated Lua/C debugging is supported; it is
now possible to step from Lua into C code.

[035] - Shared Scientific Toolbox in Java 1.00
by Roy Liu (http://freshmeat.net/users/royliu/)
Thu, Apr 10th 2008 00:10
Scientific/Engineering :: Image Recognition
Scientific/Engineering :: Mathematics
System :: Networking
About: Shared Scientific Toolbox in Java is a library of quality
lightweight components for scientific/distributed computing that includes
the first true multidimensional array package in Java, a parallel data
flow engine, an asynchronous sockets layer, an annotation-driven class
loader, and more.
Changes: A Win32 build is now supported. It contains precompiled DLLs with
statically-linked FFTW3. shared.net.SynchronousConnection was introduced,
which is built on top of the asynchronous networking layer, but supports
synchronous behavior with blocking input/output streams. The SST source is
now Java 1.5 compatible. Take note that it still links to some methods
(i.e., java.util.Arrays#copyOf) that are in JDK 1.6 only. Color maps for
intensity images were introduced. The license terms and assigned
copyrights were updated.

[037] - squidwall 0.4f (Stable)
by Tino Reichardt (http://freshmeat.net/users/mcmilk/)
Thu, Apr 10th 2008 10:13
Internet :: Proxy Servers
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
About: Squidwall is a small and very fast squid redirector. It enables the
administrator to build an easy-to-use Web interface for controlling user-,
host-, or IP-based access to squid. It also supports filtering of Web
pages containing obscene content with an advanced phrase weighting system
like Dansguardian. It supports pass-through antivirus scanning with
clamav, banner filtering, whitelisting and blacklisting via regular
expressions or string comparison based on URLs and/or content. The default
Web interface can be used by teachers for disabling, enabling, or filtering
access to the Internet.
Changes: There are some fixes in connection handling. If your ClamAV
installation is on a remote server, this release is for you.

[038] - Strasheela 0.9.4
by Torsten Anders (http://freshmeat.net/users/tanders/)
Thu, Apr 10th 2008 13:43
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio
About: Strasheela is a highly expressive constraint-based music
composition system. Users declaratively state a music theory and the
computer generates music which complies with this theory. A theory is
formulated as a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) by a set of rules
(constraints) applied to a music representation in which some aspects are
expressed by variables (unknowns). Music constraint programming is
style-independent and is well-suited for highly complex theories (e.g. a
fully-fledged theory of harmony). Results can be output into various
formats including MIDI, Lilypond, and Csound.
Changes: The output facilities to Lilypond are greatly revised in this
release. Strasheela now outputs the format of Lilypond 2.10.0, supports
various special cases (e.g. single staff polyphony, chords, enharmonic
notation, and basic tuplets), and the customisation options have been
extended. New examples demonstrate these features. In addition, this
version facilitates composition in 22-tone equal temperament: various 22
ET chords and scales are provided, and output to Lilypond, as well as
Csound, is supported. Other additions and bugfixes have been made to the
system.

integrate with your IT infrastructure. Supports multiple databases (via
hibernate), browsers, and languages.
Changes: The main novelty of this release is the expansion of the
manage-by-e-mail functionality. Users can add issues and to-dos (document
and appointments) by sending e-mail to Teamwork. Other small improvements
were made to make maximum upload size configurable and to provide feedback
on missing e-mails. Some minor bugs were fixed.

[041] - The Machine Emulator 0.6
by Dagobert Michelsen (http://freshmeat.net/users/dagobert/)
Thu, Apr 10th 2008 10:06
System :: Emulators
About: The Machine Emulator, or tme, provides a general-purpose framework
for computer emulation. The goal is to create a large library of modules,
each emulating a specific computer chip, bus, board, etc. These modules
offer standard interfaces that allow you to connect them together to
create a whole machine emulation with a minimum of effort.
Changes: This release can emulate a Sun 2/120 running NetBSD, a Sun 2/120
running NetBSD, a Sun 3/150 running NetBSD, and a SPARCstation 2 running
NetBSD or SunOS 4.1.4 (aka Solaris 1.1.2).

[044] - Wt 2.1.1
by Koen Deforche (http://freshmeat.net/users/kdeforche/)
Thu, Apr 10th 2008 06:13
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: HTTP Servers
Software Development :: Embedded Systems
About: Wt is a C++ library for developing Web applications with an API
that is widget-centric and inspired by existing C++ graphical user
interface APIs. To the developer, it offers complete abstraction of any
Web-specific implementation details. Under the hood, the library uses the
latest techniques (AJAX) to handle user events and update the Web page.
Changes: This version introduces a unified vector graphics paint system
which, depending on the browser, renders using inline VML, inline SVG, or
the HTML 5 <canvas> element. Substantial performance improvements were
made in various places, resulting in a speed up of between 2 to 10 fold,
depending on the situation. Minor new features include the new classes
WTableRow and WTableColumn, dynamic loading of CSS rules, style sheets,
and JavaScript files, support for <ul> based WMenu rendering, support for
the ARM/uClibc platform, improved zlib/openssl detection for Win32, and
many bugfixes.

[045] - Xtables-addons 1.5.4
by Jan Engelhardt (http://freshmeat.net/users/jengelh/)
Thu, Apr 10th 2008 07:00
System :: Networking :: Firewalls
About: Xtables-addons is a package that mostly supersedes the old
patch-o-matic repository for the Linux kernel and iptables. Instead of
patching the kernel source, extensions are built as modules and thus allow
extending kernels without recompilation.
Changes: The "condition", "ipp2p", and "IPMARK" extensions were imported
and cleaned. IPv6 support was added to condition and IPMARK.
