About: AgileWiki is meant to create software systems which are fluid,
easily configured and can be reorganized on-the-fly to meet ever changing
requirements. It includes a COW-based database, the Rolonics programming
paradigm, and semantic inferencing.
Changes: ListBranches, CreateBranch, ListOpenBranches, and CloseBranch
utilities are now working. ChangeControlEvent and FreeEvent have been added
to the object model. Control classes have been refactored. Convenience
methods were added to CObject and the code base was updated to use them,

[004] - Benojt 0.6
by innerspace (http://freshmeat.net/users/felfe/)
Mon, Jun 23rd 2008 02:49
Multimedia :: Graphics
Scientific/Engineering :: Mathematics
About: Benojt is a fast and flexible explorer for various types of
fractals. It can render escape-time fractals like Mandelbrot/Julia style
fractals, Newton fractals, Lyapunov fractals, and two dimensional
attractors/strange attractors. Due to its modular design, single components
like iterators, renderers, and colorings can be replaced, making it easy to
experiment with individual aspects of fractal creation. New iterators can
be created at runtime by typing a fractal fomula which is compiled and
loaded automatically.
Changes: Gradient colorings may now be done by hits, iterations, or
magnitude. The y-axis has been flipped to conform to standards. A new
lyapunov template was added. A preview image is contained in saved
XML-files. Random parameters in attractors were added. A boundingbox for an
attractor is detected. Oversampling is done in complex plane hit count. A
first-start hint dialog was added.

About: cfv is a utility to both test and create .sfv (Simple File Verify),
csv, .crc, .md5(sfv style), md5sum, BSD md5, sha1sum, and .torrent
checksum verification files. It also includes test-only support for .par
and .par2 files. These files are commonly used to ensure the correct
retrieval or storage of data.
Changes: Help output is printed to stdout under non-error conditions. A
mmap file descriptor leak in Python 2.4.2 was worked around. The different
module layout of BitTorrent 5.x is supported. A "struct integer overflow
masking is deprecated" warning was fixed. The --private_torrent flag was
added. A bug was worked around in 64-bit Python version 2.5 and later which
causes checksums of files larger than 4GB to be incorrectly calculated when
using mmap.

[006] - Chiron FS 1.1.1 (Development)
by Luis Otávio Furquim (http://freshmeat.net/users/vuco/)
Mon, Jun 23rd 2008 20:37
System :: Archiving :: Mirroring
System :: Clustering/Distributed Networks
System :: Filesystems
About: Chiron FS is a FUSE based filesystem that implements replication at
the filesystem level like RAID 1 does at the device level. The replicated
filesystem may be of any kind you want; the only requisite is that you
mount it. There is no need for special configuration files; the setup is as
simple as one mount command (or one line in fstab).
Changes: This release has an option that allows it to mount a
pseudo-filesystem (like /proc) to control the behavior of the Chiron
filesystem being mounted, allowing it to show and change the status of the
replicas. Dynamically generated Nagios plugin scripts are also provided.
The howto and man page were updated. A a bug that made ChironFS fail to
determine the correct path to the program that manages its control
filesystem has been fixed.

About: Chromium B.S.U. is a fast paced, arcade-style, top-scrolling
shooter. It uses OpenGL for graphics, OpenAL for sound effects, and FTGL
for text rendering.
Changes: This release replaces non-free font code, sounds, and music with
free versions. It adds patches accumulated in Debian, SuSE, Gentoo, and the
tracker. It depends on external libraries instead of embedding them. A
manual page, freedesktop menu file, and icon have been added. Autoconf and
automake are used for building and installation. Many memory leaks and
other bugs have been fixed. This release is compatible with OpenAL Soft.

Mon, Jun 23rd 2008 06:59
Software Development :: Interpreters
Software Development :: Libraries
About: Ctalk provides object oriented programming features, like classes,
methods, operator overloading, and inheritance to otherwise standard C
programs. You can use only a few objects and classes in a program, or you
can write programs entirely in Ctalk. The package provides a translator
from Ctalk source code into C for compilation and a library that provides
run-time support for class objects. The preprocessor, ctpp, is also
available separately, and the package includes sample programs and
documentation.
Changes: This release adds more simple example programs and includes
improvements in the handling of unterminated strings and character escape
sequences, as well as the use of objects with functions that use a variable
number of arguments.

[012] - DARE 1.0.1
by Marek Zelem (http://freshmeat.net/users/marek_zelem/)
Mon, Jun 23rd 2008 13:05
System :: Filesystems
About: DARE is a small Linux kernel patch to the VFS (virtual filesystem)
which transparently moves files into a special directory on each filesystem
instead of removing them. It works like the Novell Netware Data Recovery
system or MS Windows' Recycle Bin. DARE is independent of filesystem type,
so it can be used without constraints on almost every filesystem. Deleted
files are collected in a directory named "deleted" on the filesystem's root
directory. There are also user space utilities for dealing with deleted
files.
Changes: A kernel patch was added for the latest Linux 2.6.25.8. This
patch should be valid also for newer kernels until the next change in Linux
VFS occurs. After three years of production without any issues, the status
was officially changed to "Production State".

Mon, Jun 23rd 2008 23:58
Multimedia :: Video :: Conversion
About: DeVeDe is a program to create video DVDs (compatible with home
players) from nearly any video format. It only uses Python, MPlayer,
Mencoder, DVDAuthor, VCDImager, and mkisofs, so it has very few
dependencies.
Changes: Due to the use of the VRC_MINRATE option, sometimes the final
disk size was bigger than predicted. This has been fixed. This release
remembers the directory from which the user added a movie file. Detection
of the number of cores in the system has been fixed. This release adds the
menu type (PAL or NTSC) when creating a menuless disk. It uses transparent
pictures for the menus, ensuring that they work fine in more players. The
CONVERT dependency has been removed.

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 fixes minor bugs, and displays the server timezone
when rendering time information.

into X/NX, enabling users to compress and accelerate remote Windows and VNC
sessions. The NX project provides a suite of libraries and X11 proxying
agents implementing efficient compression and optimized transport of X11,
SMB, IPP, HTTP, and arbitrary protocols like audio and video over the
Internet.

Mon, Jun 23rd 2008 11:18
Multimedia :: Graphics
Scientific/Engineering
Scientific/Engineering :: Bioinformatics
About: R is a language and environment for statistical computing and
graphics. It is similar to S, which was developed at Bell Laboratories by
John Chambers et al. It provides a wide variety of statistical and
graphical techniques (linear and nonlinear modelling, statistical tests,
time series analysis, classification, clustering, etc.). R is designed as a
true computer language with control-flow constructions for iteration and
alternation, and it allows users to add additional functionality by
defining new functions. For computationally intensive tasks, Fortran and C
code can be linked and called at run time.
Changes: This is a maintenance release and fixes a number of mostly minor
bugs and platform issues. Notably, the numeric interpretation of "-", "+",
and "." has reverted to pre-2.7.0 behavior.

you make changes to the track. This is an important step towards
completeness of the track editor. Other changes are a more user-friendly
settings editor and a different slip model, which should make the car
handling a bit easier.

[045] - Word War vi 0.16
by Stephen Cameron (http://freshmeat.net/users/StephenCameron/)
Mon, Jun 23rd 2008 13:22
Games/Entertainment :: Arcade
About: Word War vi is a side-scrolling shoot 'em up '80s style arcade
game. You pilot your "vi"per craft through core memory, rescuing lost .swp
files, avoiding OS defenses, and wiping out those memory hogging emacs
processes. When all the lost .swp files are rescued, head for the socket
which will take you to the next node in the cluster.
Changes: Now the player is asked for confirmation before quitting the
game. A bug in which negative scores would get counted as high scores was
fixed. A bug was fixed for rare instances where the target list could get
corrupted, making everything unshootable, or even crashing the game. A bug
in which the viewport could become unsynchronized with the player's ship
was fixed. A bug which caused "make install" to rebuild everything was
fixed.

[046] - xorriso 0.2.0
by scdbackup (http://freshmeat.net/users/scdbackup/)
Mon, Jun 23rd 2008 13:09
System :: Archiving :: Backup
System :: Filesystems
About: xorriso creates, loads, manipulates, and writes ISO 9660 filesystem
images with Rock Ridge extensions. It can load the management information
of existing ISO images, and it writes the session results to optical media
or to filesystem objects. This is the standalone version that incorporates
the libraries of libburnia-project.org and thus depends only on Linux 2.4
(or later), libc, and libpthread. No separate mkisofs and no CD/DVD burn
program are needed.
Changes: xorriso is now able to copy files and trees from loaded ISO
images directly to disk. This avoids the need to release the drive and to
mount the media.
