[001] - 4tH compiler 3.5c release 3
by J.L. Bezemer (http://freshmeat.net/users/hansoft/)
Mon, Jun 2nd 2008 12:39

Software Development :: Code Generators
Software Development :: Compilers
Software Development :: Libraries

About: 4tH is a Forth compiler with a little difference. Instead of the
standard Forth engine it features a conventional compiler. 4tH is a very
small compiler that can create bytecode, C-embeddable bytecode, standalone
executables, but also works fine as a scripting language. It supports about
95% of the ANS Forth CORE wordset and features conditional compilation,
pipes, files, assertions, forward declarations, enumerations, structures,
suspended execution, recursion, include files, etc. It comes with an RPN
calculator, line editor, compiler, decompiler, C-source generator, a
virtual machine, and a multitasking environment.

Changes: A floating point emulation library was added, providing most
words of the FLOATING and FLOATING EXT wordsets. A few bugs were fixed in
the "mixed" library.

[002] - AsItHappens 0.52
by Mark Abrahams (http://freshmeat.net/users/markabrahams/)
Mon, Jun 2nd 2008 12:42

Games/Entertainment :: Arcade
System :: Networking :: Monitoring

About: AsItHappens is a real-time network statistics collector and
grapher. It collects data from devices over a network via ICMP and SNMP and
displays them on a graph, optionally storing collected data in a database
for later retrieval. Collection types include network response, bandwidth
usage, processor usage, memory usage, Cisco NBAR, and Cisco NetFlow.
AsItHappens polls data in regular intervals, which can be in the order of
milliseconds, to give immediate feedback on network performance, and it can
also graph flow information from packet capture files. AsItHappens includes
the Self Defending Network, a horizontal shoot-em-up based on collected
graph data.

Changes: This release adds the display of extra descriptive information
(ifAlias) for port lists. It contains some improvements in the "Sessions"
panel, including automatic updating of session times, support for deleting
multiple sessions at once, and the sorting of sessions by collection start
time. This release also fixes an erroneous default setting that causes
collecting graphs to use only the bottom 20% of the graph area.

[003] - Autopoweroff 2.9.1
by Hans Deragon (http://freshmeat.net/users/deragon/)
Mon, Jun 2nd 2008 00:52

System :: Boot :: Init

About: Autopoweroff is a script that shuts down a computer at a specific
time, but only if some conditions are met. It works well on home
routers/firewalls where the machine can be switched off every night and
powered back up in the morning. It can be configured to only shut down the
server after any computers which depend on the server for Internet access
have been shut down.

Changes: The icon has been moved from "Applications/System Tools" to
"System/Administration". This release officially supports Ubuntu, OpenSuSE,
and Fedora. 'arping' is now also used in addition to 'ping'. If
/dev/input/by-path/* are non-existant on a system, /dev/input/* entries are
used instead. This will allow Autopoweroff to detect user events on Ubuntu
06.06, for instance. The About dialog would now closes properly.

[004] - BalanceNG 2.130
by Thomas Obermair (http://freshmeat.net/users/thomasobermair/)
Mon, Jun 2nd 2008 23:35

Internet
Internet :: Proxy Servers
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management

About: BalanceNG is a modern software IP load balancing solution. It is
small, fast, and easy to use and setup. It offers session persistence,
different distribution methods (Round Robin, Random, Weighted Random, Least
Session, Least Bandwidth, Hash, Agent, and Randomized Agent) and a
customizable UDP health check agent in source code. It supports VRRP to set
up high availability configurations on multiple nodes. It supports SNMP,
integrating the BALANCENG-MIB with Net-SNMPD. It integrates pcap packet
dumping for debugging purposes and allows the implementation of a
"transparent forensic logging bridge".

Changes: A minor command line parsing bug has been fixed. The maximum
number of targets per server has been increased from 32 to 64. The command
"target <n> script" functionality is now also functional with the free
basic license. The IPDB (IP to location database) has been pre-integrated
("ipdb [file]", "locate addr", "show ipdb", and "show locations"). Full
functionality (location-based load balancing) will follow soon. The
distribution comes with the IpToCountry.csv database file (installs in
/opt/BalanceNG for the packages). The VRRP/HA testing licenses are now
valid for 30 days.

[007] - C++ Regex Engine 1.09.00
by unr_stuart (http://freshmeat.net/users/unr_stuart/)
Mon, Jun 2nd 2008 03:02

Text Processing

About: C++ Regex Engine provides a robust regular expression library for
use in C++. The syntax of the regular expression language is very close to
the Perl 5 standard. The classes given somewhat mirror those found in
Java's regular expression library, but have several improvements. The
intended audience of this package is anyone who does a lot of data parsing
(e.g. sysadmins), people tired of trying to decipher Perl scripts, and
regular expression beginners who know C++. Some knowledge of the STL's
vector and string will come in handy, but isn't necessary.

Changes: This release fixes a bug wherein case insensitive, negative class
matches gave erroneous results.

Mon, Jun 2nd 2008 06:06

Database
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Indexing/Search

About: DBSight is a J2EE search platform for instant scalable full-text
search on any relational database, for both beginners and experts. It
features a built-in database crawler following user-defined SQL,
incremental indexing, user-controllable result ranking, the ability to

necessary. Deleted or updated records in database can be synchronized also.

Changes: Configurable sorting was added for narrowBy results. A freemarker
template servlet was added for rendering search results. Field-specific
highlighting via wizard generated code was added. Support for efficiently
searching multiple same-structured datasources was added. An exception is
avoided when the option "Empty Query Match All" is unchecked. The
templateName parameter was enhanced by adding options for a different index
from the current index, a different file from default main.vm.

Additionally it comes with a Swing application to manage documentation
projects and to transform the resulting DocBook files to PDF, Postscript,
HTML, or JavaHelp.

Changes: Class diagrams with realizations and drop shadows were improved.
The line wrapping behavior was reworked. The layout of PDF output was
improved. New features were backported for javadoc 1.4. The command line

[015] - DocumentBurster 0.0.6
by Virgil (http://freshmeat.net/users/virgiltrasca/)
Mon, Jun 2nd 2008 12:37

Office/Business :: CRM
Office/Business :: Financial
Office/Business :: Financial :: Accounting

About: DocumentBurster splits PDF reports based on metadata. Generated
documents can be delivered on a variety of destinations like email, FTP,

easy to define your own custom delivery targets with the help of a plugin
architecture. This will handle the delivery of reports to any target that
can be imagined. It is easy to define simple or complex schedules for
bursting.

Changes: The main addition with this release is better logging support by
using the Apache Commons Logging library.

[016] - fwknop 1.9.4
by Michael Rash (http://freshmeat.net/users/michaelrash/)
Mon, Jun 2nd 2008 13:24

Security
System :: Monitoring
System :: Networking :: Firewalls

About: fwknop implements an authorization scheme called Single Packet
Authorization that requires only a single encrypted packet to communicate
various pieces of information, including desired access through an iptables
or ipfw firewall policy and/or specific commands to execute on the target
system. The main application of this program is to protect services such as
SSH with an additional layer of security in order to make the exploitation
of vulnerabilities much more difficult. The authorization server works by
passively monitoring authorization packets via libpcap. Also supported is a
robust port knocking implementation based around iptables log messages.

Changes: Two new port randomization features, --NAT-rand-port and
--rand-port, were added to allow fwknop clients to request a random port to
be assigned both for the SPA packet destination port and for the forwarded
port in a NAT operation against an incoming connection. This makes traffic
analysis of the SPA system more difficult. A bug was fixed to add a check
for "keep-state" in ipfw policies in addition to the existing "check-state"
check. It is now possible to specify the port that SPA packets are sent
over with the fwknop client by using the syntax "<host|IP>:<port>".

[017] - Gimp User Filter Plug-in 0.9.5
by Torsten Neuer (http://freshmeat.net/users/tneuer/)
Mon, Jun 2nd 2008 12:37

Multimedia :: Graphics :: Editors :: Raster-Based
Software Development :: Code Generators
Software Development :: Interpreters

About: Gimp User Filter is a work-alike to Adobe's Filter Factory. It is a
generic image processing plug-in that can be used to create new filters for
The GIMP without having to go through the process of learning about The
GIMP's SDK. Many freely available filters that have been created for Filter
Factory can also be used with this plug-in.

Changes: A few minor bugs have been fixed in the plug-in itself. The
plug-in should also have no dependancy on SSL anymore when Glib 2.16 or
later is installed. Man pages for the utility programs have been added. The
German translation was updated. Most important, the installation procedure
was fixed, so "make install" should now work as intended.

[018] - GLib 2.17.0 (Development)
by Moritz Barsnick (http://freshmeat.net/users/barsnick/)
Mon, Jun 2nd 2008 17:44

Software Development :: Libraries

About: GLib is a library containing many useful C routines for things such

[020] - GNUnet 0.8.0pre1
by Christian Grothoff (http://freshmeat.net/users/grothoff/)
Mon, Jun 2nd 2008 06:36

Communications :: File Sharing
Security :: Cryptography
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks

About: GNUnet is a peer-to-peer framework with focus on providing
security. All peer-to-peer messages in the network are confidential and
authenticated. The framework provides a transport abstraction layer and can
currently encapsulate the network traffic in UDP (IPv4 and IPv6), TCP (IPv4
and IPv6), HTTP, or SMTP messages. GNUnet supports accounting to provide
contributing nodes with better service. The primary service build on top of
the framework is anonymous file sharing.

Changes: This release adds support for ranking search results by
availability and according to how good they match a given search query. The
release also features a new, more user-friendly way of assigning unique
names to pseudonyms. IPv6 support and various performance aspects were
improved. Build issues and various minor bugs were fixed.

[021] - GOZERBOT 0.8.1.0
by Bart Thate (http://freshmeat.net/users/bthate/)
Mon, Jun 2nd 2008 13:12

About: GOZERBOT is an IRC and Jabber bot. It can fetch RSS feeds, keep
todo and shopping lists, manage karma and quotes, and remember items. It
supports plugins, has a built-in Web server, and can communicate with other
bots. It can also relay messages received by UDP to a channel or person,
which could be useful for monitoring systems. Relaying between IRC and
Jabber is also possible.

Changes: SSL connections are now supported. Some third-party software is
now included: feedparser, simplejson, and BeautifulSoup. The RSS,
collective, and Web server plugins were renewed. The Web server API has
changed. The tcp.py notification plugin as well as a totcp.py client
program were added. The following plugins were removed from the main
distribition: autovoice, away, convert, country, event, grab, jcoll, and
probe. If you are using one of these plugins, use "install-plug plugin" to
install them from the plugin server.

[022] - gpgdir 1.9
by Michael Rash (http://freshmeat.net/users/michaelrash/)
Mon, Jun 2nd 2008 13:18

Security :: Cryptography

About: gpgdir is a Perl script that uses the CPAN GnuPG module to encrypt
and decrypt directories using a GPG key specified in ~/.gpgdirrc. It
supports recursively descending through a directory in order to make sure
it encrypts or decrypts every file in a directory and all of its
subdirectories. All file mtime and atime values are preserved across
encryption and decryption operations. In addition, gpgdir is careful not to
encrypt hidden files and directories.

Changes: The --Obfuscate-filenames format was changed to not include the
gpgdir PID. This allows directories to be encrypted and decrypted under -O
multiple times without creating new filenames (which would pollute
encrypted directories under rsync to other systems). The new -O encrypted
filename format is just "gpgdir_<num>.gpg". PID locking against directories
was added so that multiple gpgdir processes cannot operate against the same
top-level directory simultaneously. This is useful for users that typically
operate with multiple shells and might launch gpgdir from any of them.

[026] - JChart2D 3.0.0.
by Achim Westermann (http://freshmeat.net/users/achimwestermann/)
Mon, Jun 2nd 2008 00:44

Multimedia :: Graphics :: Presentation
Scientific/Engineering :: Visualization
Software Development :: Libraries

About: JChart2D is a Swing widget for precise runtime visualization of
numerical tuples in an x-y plot. It is easy to use and is designed for
runtime display. Unlike other charting tools that cover all kinds of views
(pie, bar, etc.), it just creates precise x-y plots. It is thread-safe:
many different threads in an application may each add data to plot. A
single chart may contain multiple different traces. It also features
automatic scaling, choice of unit, viewports (zooming), output to images
(png, jpeg), logarithmic axis, and custom rendering of datapoints (lines,
dots, discs, filled polygons).

Changes: This release requires Java 1.5. Multiple x and y axes are now
configurable on the left, right, top, and bottom edge of the chart. Charts
are now serializable. A minimum repaint latency may be configured that
allows you to collapse many repaint requests into one (required for high
performance in real time applications).

About: Smb4K is a SMB and CIFS (Windows) share browser for KDE. It uses
the Samba software suite to access the SMB and CIFS shares of the local
network neighborhood. Its purpose is to provide a program that's easy to
use and has as many features as possible.

Changes: This release fixes a logon issue that was introduced in version
0.9.4: smb4K sent the login and password to the master browser by default
when asking for the browse list. This could cause at least master browsers
running Samba to return an empty browse list. This behavior has now been
made configurable and can be enabled in the configuration dialog under
"Network | Authentication | Master browsers need authentication". It is
turned off by default.

[061] - TkResolver++ 0.5.5
by Bob Ham (http://freshmeat.net/users/node/)
Mon, Jun 2nd 2008 23:36

Scientific/Engineering

About: TkResolver++ is a suite of software for conducting experiments
into telekinesis (specifically retropsychokinesis.) It uses the output
from a random number generator to determine the course of a line as it is
drawn down the computer screen. Experiments consist of an operator who
attempts to influence the behaviour of the line drawing. The software
records in a database the operator's details, the experimental variables,
and the observed results. The suite includes programs for conducting
visualisation and statistical analysis of the database.

Changes: This release adds a new query language for querying experiments
through properties. The analyser has been updated to use the query
language. The test and date_time fields in the experiment table have been
changed to be properties.

WinNT/2000/XP/2003, Linux, Novell, and more. The only main requirement is a
400 MHz or better machine, along with lots of RAM (128M minimum, 256M
recommended).

Changes: The VIX API is no longer accessible from the guest operating
system by default. A virtual machine failure after a Symantec virus

the periodic duplication of the box, a new widget to choose the orientation
using Miller's indices. The number of accepted input formats has been
increased with two new plugins, one to read the XcrysDen file format and
one to read native ABINIT input files. There are other improvements
regarding finer configuration possibilities.

[070] - Zoph 0.7.2 (Pre-release)

Mon, Jun 2nd 2008 00:39

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Presentation

About: There are many photo-gallery programs available. Zoph is different,
as it concentrates on the management of large collection of photos instead
of just showing them on the Web. It can store a lot of information about
your photos, including the regular EXIF info, photographer, location,
title, description, rating, and the people in the photo. Photos can appear
in multiple albums and categories. Additional features include search,
slideshows, lightboxes, email, access privileges, and multiple languages.

Changes: This is an interim "feature" release that offers a preview of a
few of the new features that will be available in 0.8. The most important
new feature in this release is the 'Zoph Pages' feature, which allows you
to create your own pages as a front page for an album, category, place, or
person. You can now add smileys and (limited) markup to comments. Although
this release was tested as well as possible, it is not a "stable" release
and you should continue using 0.7.0.4 if you are not comfortable using an
unstable version.

communication services that natively support the ZRTP protocol.

Changes: This version is interoperable with the latest ZRTP draft
specification and the latest Zfone beta. The changes resulted in an update
of the API, therefore existing applications must be recompiled.
