[001] - AgileWiki 0.0.7 (COWDB2)
  by Bill la Forge (http://freshmeat.net/users/laforge49/)
  Fri, Jun 27th 2008 13:39

Database
Documentation
Information Management

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: Adjacent free and available blocks are now being consolidated.
This solves a disk fragmentation problem and reduced the footprint on disk
significantly. Bogus DB corruption errors that were raised by validate were
fixed.

[002] - amforth 2.8 
  by Matthias Trute (http://freshmeat.net/users/mtrute/)
  Fri, Jun 27th 2008 16:45

Scientific/Engineering
Software Development :: Embedded Systems
System :: Hardware

About: amforth is a Forth distribution for the the AVR Atmega
microcontroller. Once put into flash, it needs only a serial connection to
the host computer to work interactivly. New words are compiled directly
into flash, thus extending the dictionary immediately. It provides most of
the ANS94 Forth Standard plus extensions. It is written in AVR standard
assembly language and Forth itself. The main development uses Atmega8 and
Atmega32 controllers; other Atmega controllers work with small adjustments.

Changes: This is a maintenance release. It fixes a regression for the 128K
Atmegas. There are a few more microcontroller types (e.g. the arduiono's)
and library enhancements. The project Web site has a new CSS-based layout.

Changes: A performance bug where JITcp was always called from ATL_gemmXX.c
was fixed. A bug where complex GEMM sometimes read C when BETA=0 was fixed.
The FreeBSD architecture probe was improved. The Linux CPU throttling probe
was improved. Itanium 2 detection was added as "McKinley" in
archinfo_linux. Cleanup was done for the 4x1 case for 64-bit sgemm.

Scientific/Engineering :: Astronomy
Scientific/Engineering :: Visualization
Software Development :: Libraries

About: CFITSIO is a library of C and Fortran subroutines for  reading and
writing data files in the FITS (Flexible Image  Transport System) data
format. It simplifies the task of  writing software that deals with FITS
files by providing an  easy to use set of high-level routines that insulate
the  programmer from the internal complexities of the FITS file  format.

Changes: A new BYTEPIX compression parameter when tile-compressing images
with the Rice algorithm was added. The NAXIS and NAXISn keyword values are
cached in the fitsio structure for efficiency. Variants of the Rice
compression and uncompression routines were added to support short int
images. The efficiency when compressing integer images with gzip was
improved. Numerous bugs were fixed.

writing it as XML, HTML, PDF, or mail attachments. This software is
especially suited for converting flat file or database records to XML, with
its support for namespaces, variant record types, multi-valued fields,
segments and repeating groups, hierarchical grouping of records, and
row-by-row validation with XML Schema. There is also an API for embedding
the software in a Java application.

flat file reader or an XML reader to read from the standard output of a
shell command. It also adds an sx:commandSink element, which allows a flat
file writer or an XML serializer to write to the standard input of a shell
command.

  Fri, Jun 27th 2008 13:45

Desktop Environment
Multimedia :: Graphics

changing to the GPL. The code size has been decreased dramatically by
removing copied library code, and it has been adapted to compile with
current versions of the Vesa video driver library. The useless caca video
driver was removed. Scripts have been added for easier theme creation and a
touchscreen-optimized theme was created.
