Security

About: CacheGuard is a Linux-based OS/appliance dedicated to Web traffic
security and optimization. It transforms an x86-based machine into a
powerful Web gateway appliance. It allows you to control Web traffic for
Web surfers and Web servers by acting as a forwarding and reverse HTTP /
HTTPS proxy. It supports HTTP transparent implementation, HTTP
compression, Web caching, URL black- and whitelist guarding, and Web
server load balancing. It features a stateful firewall with NAT and PAT,
and a content filtering module blocking malicious HTTP requests like XSS,
SQL and Command Injection. It integrates a caching DNS, a DHCP server, a
bandwidth shaper to manage the QoS, a load sharing system, and an HA (high
availability) mode with VRRP and link bonding.

Changes: The connection to the Web Auditing GUI works properly when the
Guarding mode is deactivated. This concerns only appliances installed for
less than 20 users.

[017] - I'm Cross! 20080508
by Ron Burkey (http://freshmeat.net/users/rburkey/)
Thu, May 8th 2008 07:09

About: I'm Cross! is a script that installs cross-compiler toolchains that
target Microsoft Windows on a developer's Linux workstation. Additionally,
it installs cross-compiled versions of various libraries, such as
wxWidgets, GTK+, FLTK, Allegro, PCRE, libxml2, zlib, and pthreads-w32, as
well as installer (setup.exe) creation tools. This provides an easy way to
set up a Linux workstation to simultaneously build Linux and Windows
executables from the same source tree, and then to create installer
programs for those executables. It provides sample programs for each
supported library to illustrate the methods for cross-compilation and
installer-creation.

Changes: Limited support for targeting Mac OS X systems has been added,
including cross-compiler toolchains and sample programs. Basic compilation
works, including creation of Universal binaries, but cross-compiled
versions of toolkits such as wxWidgets have not yet been added. Because of
constraints on available Mac test platforms, feedback from users is
urgently desired to verify operation of executables (particularly sample
programs) created by the cross-compiler.

About: jdbfviewer allows you to display dbf files in a JTable view (and
optionally delete rows). Not all versions of dbf are supported. The
memo-field isn't tested. No future development is planned.

Changes: The program now continues when a 'failed to parse Number' error
occurs rather than terminating. Dbf2csv was included to allow
non-interactive command-line conversion of multiple files.

[023] - libferris 1.2.5
by Ben Martin (http://freshmeat.net/users/monkeyiq/)
Thu, May 8th 2008 07:00

Software Development :: Libraries
System :: Filesystems

About: libferris is a virtual filesystem that exposes hierarchical data of
all kinds through a common C++ interface. Access to data is performed using
C++ IOStreams and Extended Attributes (EA) can be attached to each file or
directory to present metadata. Ferris uses a plugin API to read various
data sources and expose them as filesystems and to generate interesting
EA. Current implementations include native (kernel disk IO with fam), XML
(mount an XML file as a filesystem), DB4, xmldb, Evolution, Firefox,
Emacs, LDAP, HTTP, FTP, eet, sockets, RDF/XML, RDF/bdb, and mbox. EA
generators include image, audio, and animation decoders.

Changes: The code was ported to the XQilla 2.x API, including initial
support for XUpdate in the custom XQilla-ferris document model. pqxx is
now a soft dependancy, as was originally intended. Minor updates were made
for building on the Maemo platform. Minor fixes were made to EXIF longitude
and latidude handling.

[025] - libsixdof 0.0.3
by Ben Martin (http://freshmeat.net/users/monkeyiq/)
Thu, May 8th 2008 07:01

Multimedia :: Graphics :: 3D Modeling

About: libsixdof provides C and C++ interfaces to 6 degrees of freedom
devices. The library is intended to be very unobtrusive to an application,
allowing support to be implemented without great effort. For example, an
application might only need to issue 3-4 API calls to tell libsixdof about
Xwindow objects that it should monitor. Apart from those setup calls,
functions that are useful for controllers should be registered with
libsixdof. The configuration of the device (how its axis movements map to
these registered functions) is then taken care of completely by libsixdof.
The application doesn't really need to care what 6dof device is attached,
where it is attached (USB, etc.), what its name is, or if there is more
than one.

Changes: Axis actions can now be specified using mnemonic axis names as
well as by axis number.

Thu, May 8th 2008 10:47

Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: HTTP Servers

About: ModSecurity is an intrusion detection and prevention engine for Web
applications (sometimes called a Web application firewall). Operating
embedded or as part of an Apache reverse proxy, it increases Web
application security, protecting Web applications from known and unknown
attacks. It is flexible and easy to configure. It monitors HTTP traffic
(including POST payloads), detects or prevents attacks, enhances logging,
performs anti-evasion, and allows administrators to create custom rules to
suit their specific needs. It excels in HTTP traffic monitoring and
just-in-time vulnerability patching.

Changes: This release fixes a problem with transformation caching in
ModSecurity 2.5 through version 2.5.3, which may have resulted in a false
negative under certain circumstances. Upgrading is encouraged.

by Erik Norvelle (http://freshmeat.net/users/enorvelle/)

Education
Information Management

About: TextCite is a program for organizing and commenting textual
citations from texts (books, articles, or other published works) for use
in producing scientific or academic publications. You can organize by
publication, author, category, or outline. It works with bibliographic
management programs like Citation, EndNote, RefWorks, and BibTeX,
providing important text/citation management capabilities that these
programs lack, while still allowing for rapid footnote and bibliography
generation by means of your favorite bibliography manager. It also exports
to PDF and Word (RTF).

Changes: Improvements to RTF and PDF export facilities. PDF export now
offers much greater flexibility over output, as well as the ability to
generate documents with footnotes. RTF export now adds the ability to
properly export bibliographic codes for integration with programs such as
Endnote and RefWorks. This release includes improvements to avoid problems
that could cause data corruption.
