[007] - deco archive file extractor 1.0.0.1
by P. Hartlich (http://freshmeat.net/users/phartlich/)
Tue, May 20th 2008 06:33

System :: Archiving

About: deco is a generic archive file extractor that has a consistent
command line interface ("deco 1.tar.bz2 2.zip 3.flac 4.rar 5.deb" will
just work) and consistent behavior (it never deletes archives after
extraction, extracts relative to the current working directory, and
extracts just verbosely enough, all unless explicitly requested
otherwise). It provides automatic handling of extractor gotchas by
creating an extraction directory if there is more than one file or
directory at the archive top level and by being able to fix strange
permissions. Dozens of archive file extensions are supported out of the
box, and adding support for others requires very little work.

Changes: The source code was cleaned up quite a bit.

in states ESTABLISHED and RELATED. A bug that affected printing long
rulesets on Windows was also fixed.

commands and scripts can be launched based on X10 signals and the state of
the system. HEYU also supports the CM17A "Firecracker" device for
transmission of X10 RF signals.

Changes: Supportwas added for the Digimax 210 remote thermostat and for
Oregon temperature, relative humidity, and barometric pressure sensors

[017] - Meeting Request Scheduling and Booking System 1.1
by Benn Oshrin (http://freshmeat.net/users/bennos/)
Tue, May 20th 2008 10:23

Office/Business :: Scheduling

About: The Meeting Request Scheduling and Booking System (MRSBS) allows a
person to schedule a meeting with people who are not on the same (or any)
calendaring system. The meeting host (or the host's delegate) prepares an
invitation, specifying required and optional attendees, information about
the meeting topic and duration, potential time slots, and potential
locations. The invitation is sent to the invitees via email, and the
invitees reply via a Web page with their availability. Once all replies
have been received, MRSBS selects the best available time. Invitees are
then notified with an RFC 2445 compliant iCalendar notification.

Changes: This release improves presentation of long lists, adds search
capabilities, displays recent invitees when building new invitations,
allows invitees to view the invite list when replying, and offers a
downloadable .ics file for scheduled meetings. In addition, a number of
bugs have been fixed.

localizing access traffic. To ensure data protection, redundancy and
cryptographic techniques are used.

Changes: This release focuses on reducing memory consumption and fixes
some random crashes.

Tue, May 20th 2008 10:22

Communications :: Email
Communications :: Email :: Email Clients (MUA)
Communications :: Email :: Post-Office :: IMAP

About: OfflineIMAP is a tool to simplify email reading. It allows you to
read the same mailbox from multiple computers and ensures that your
changes will be automatically reflected on all computers. You can use
various mail clients to read a single box or read mail while offline with
full synchronization when you reconnect. You can read IMAP mail with
readers that lack IMAP support (same goes for SSL). OfflineIMAP's
multithreaded synchronization algorithm performs between 10 and 60 times
faster than many mail readers' internal IMAP support, and it can be used
even with mail readers that support IMAP already. There are five available
user interface modules, including scripted execution, an interactive
terminal interface, and GUI interfaces.

Changes: New features include re-scanning remote folder names at every
sync run, a new machine-parseable user interface, PID file generation, a
-q (quick) option, Maildir performance increases, support for
username/password in netrc file, an -f option for syncing only selected
folders, a -k option to override config options, special support for
GMail, and Kerberos support.

Tue, May 20th 2008 10:29

System :: Logging
System :: Monitoring

About: phpLogCon is a Web front-end for syslog and other network event
data. It provides easy browsing and some basic analysis. Network events
are taken from a database, where they must be stored by a feeding
application (not part of phpLogCon itself). Depending on database
contents, phpLogCon can process syslog messages, Windows event log entries
and some more exotic things. It works together with rsyslogd, an enhanced
syslog deamon but can also team up with any other application capable of
writing to a database.

Changes: This release adds a pager to the bottom of the index page as
well. It adds filtering support for the new Eventlog fields. It adds field
mapping definitions for Windows Eventlog. Columns configuration definition
in config.sample.php has been simplified. A filter bug has been fixed: if
you want to filter with ":", you can do this by using "\:" now. A donate
button has been added. Install.php handling has been changed so that it is
no longer necessary to remove the script after installation. A check for
installed PHP version has been added. phpLogCon will refuse to run on PHP
4 or lower from now on.

[029] - Reverspring CoI 0.3.0

Tue, May 20th 2008 06:43

Software Development :: Libraries
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries

About: Reverspring is a Java library that allows you to create Spring IoC
XML files from POJO at runtime. CoI stands for Control of Inversion:
Reverspring just inverts the inversion of control mechanism of Spring
Framework, allowing you to (re)write Spring descriptors starting from your
Java objects. With Reverspring, you can write process descriptors on XML
files without reinventing a new DTD or XML schema, but just using the well
known Spring IoC syntax.

Changes: XML indentation was added. New methods were added in
DescriptorGenerator to generate descriptors from beans with only one
instruction. Strategies to define how classes have to be written in XML
were added. BeanConfigurationStrategy was added. BeanConfigurationStrategy
can be written in an XML IoC file and used as an XML configuration

multiple computers at the same time using the VNC protocol. It presents

by Koen Deforche (http://freshmeat.net/users/kdeforche/)
Tue, May 20th 2008 10:39

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: Charting widgets that support category charts, pie charts, and
scatter plots were added, implemented using the Wt painting API.
Client-side validation was added to all WValidator classes, as was support
for MS IE 8 beta. Other improvements include several bugfixes and feature
and performance improvements in the painting API, better documentation,
improved extended selection behaviour in WTree, improved cross-browser
keyboard event handling, and MacOS X added to the supported build targets.

[038] - xjobs 20080520
by Thomas Maier-Komor (http://freshmeat.net/users/komor/)
Tue, May 20th 2008 13:29

System
Utilities

About: xjobs runs several jobs in parallel and limits the number of jobs
running at once so that every processor of the machine is busy, but not
overloaded. A batch of long-running processes invoked from the shell are
normally executed one after another, no matter how many processors are
available. xjobs allows batching those jobs while still keeping the
machine busy. The interface of xjobs is similar to that of xargs.

Changes: The build process has changed to use autoconf. There are lint
cleanups and minor code enhancements.
