About: ExactImage is a fast C++ image processing library. Unlike
ImageMagick, it allows operation in several color spaces and bit depths
natively, resulting in much lower memory and computational requirements.
Some optimized algorithms operate in 1/20 of the time ImageMagick
requires, and displaying large images can be as fast as 1/10 of the time
the "display" program takes.
Changes: High-quality and high-speed barcode recognition was added. A new,
generic, and better optimizing image iterator was implemented, resulting in
higher performance of ported algorithms. Support was added for writing
non-RGB BMP files, as well as writing EPS, PS, PDF, and reading
(rendering) SVG files. Language bindings are now also available for PHP,
Python, and Lua. Compilation with GCC 4.3 was fixed.

[017] - gnormalize 0.60
by Claudio F. S. Rodrigues (http://freshmeat.net/users/claudiofsr/)
Sat, May 3rd 2008 01:08
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio
About: gnormalize is a utility that rips, normalizes, encodes, and
converts audio files. It uses 'wavegain' to normalize wave files with the
accurate gain_analysis.c code from ReplayGain. It decodes MP3, MP4 (or M4A
or AAC), MPC (or MPP or MP+), OGG, APE, or FLAC files to wave, then
normalizes the wave and re-encodes it. It can rip audio CDs, encode audio
data, convert audio formats between MP3, MP4, MPC, OGG, APE, and FLAC, and
change the encoding properties and edit meta info (like title, artist,
album, etc.) of the final normalized files.
Changes: 'wavegain' is now used to normalize wav files because it uses the
more accurate gain_analysis.c code from ReplayGain to adjust and normalize
the sound amplitude. A new, easy method for translations was provided. The
'file chooser' check button was removed because 'Gtk2::FileSelection' is
deprecated. mplayer can be used to play all supported file formats. Some
bugs were fixed.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: HTTP Servers
Security
About: mod_auth_pubtkt is a simple Web single sign-on (SSO) solution for

Web servers can verify tickets given only the public key. The
implementation of the login server is left to the user, but an example and
a library in PHP are provided with the distribution.

Internet
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries
About: Porcupine is a Web application server that features an embedded
object database, the Porcupine Object Query Language, XMLRPC support, and
QuiX, an integrated AJAX powered XUL motor.
Changes: The two main new concepts introduced on the server side are the
services and the Web methods. Porcupine's architecture is now based on
configurable services running over a common object database. Web methods
have completely replaced servlets and hence heavy XML file editing is no
longer required. It also includes support for pre-processing filters, far
more memory efficient object sets, and type safe data types. On the client
side, QuiX has become less resource intensive by using a pooled set of
XMLHTTP objects and improved garbage collection.

libjpeg/libpng/etc. graphic libraries were adopted instead.

Education
Scientific/Engineering :: Physics
Software Development :: Libraries
About: QuBit is a library to support quantum superpositions in C++. This
allows each variable of the CQuBit type to hold a number of different
values at the same time. Normal mathematical operations can be performed
on a QuBit, but they affect every value in the QuBit, at the same time.
Binary operations on two QuBits cause a result based on every possible
outcome.
Changes: Fixes were made to let the code compile in modern compilers.
Pre-increments are now used for speed. HTML documentation is included in
the package. C-style comments are used throughout for non-C99 compilers.
Const-correctness was improved.

Web-based control panel. Timezone support was added. All dependencies are
now included as part of the distribution, so you don't have to download
dataface separately. User friendly icons were provided for menu items.
