[002] - Automatic Drawing Generation 0.3.0
by Nicola Fontana (http://freshmeat.net/users/entidi/)
Mon, Jul 14th 2008 23:14

Multimedia :: Graphics :: Viewers
Printing
Scientific/Engineering :: Visualization

About: Automatic Drawing Generation is GObject-based library that provides
a non-interactive Cairo canvas specifically designed for generating
technical drawings.

Changes: This release has reworked styles and implements AdgContext, a
clean and well defined approach to manage rendering customization. All the
geometrical code has been moved into the Cairo Path Manipulation Library
(CPML), an internal library depending only on cairo. The documentation has
been greatly improved.

[003] - Blitz templates for PHP 0.6.1
by Alexey Rybak (http://freshmeat.net/users/alexeyrybak/)
Mon, Jul 14th 2008 17:55

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management

About: Blitz templates is a fast PHP template engine written in C and
compiled as a PHP extension. It started as a php_templates replacement, but
developed into much more. It is based on extensible template controllers
(custom view classes in PHP) and weakly-active templates (simple logic in
HTML). Benchmarks show that it is one of the fastest template engines for
PHP, even though it's not trivial and makes Web application closer to a
smart MVC-like architecture model with maximal separation of HTML from your
code. It was designed for big high-load Internet projects with a lot of
complex presentation logic.

Changes: In this release, IF/UNLESS multi-line blocks were added. The
primary goal is to help users with the usual header/footer/empty list
pattern in templates (see CHANGES for a detailed example), but this will
help with "long" conditional HTML parts as well. Some minor bugfixes and
code cleanup were performed.

[004] - cpufrequtils 004
by Dominik Broodwski (http://freshmeat.net/users/brodo/)
Mon, Jul 14th 2008 13:58

System :: Hardware

About: The cpufrequtils package consists of a library which offers an
unified access method for userspace tools and programs to the CPU frequency
and voltage scaling (cpufreq) subsystem in the Linux kernel, the
"cpufreq-info" and "cpufreq-set" tools to determine and set cpufreq
settings, and debug tools helpful if frequency scaling doesn't work as
expected.

Changes: The most user-visible change of this release is the addition of
statisitics output for cpufreq-info. The cpufrequtils library "libcpufreq"
was updated accordingly, and it doesn't depend on libsysfs any longer.

[005] - databene benerator 0.5.4
by Volker Bergmann (http://freshmeat.net/users/vbergmann/)
Mon, Jul 14th 2008 09:44

Software Development :: Testing

About: benerator is a framework for creating realistic and valid
high-volume test data, used for testing (unit/integration/load) and
showcase setup. Metadata constraints are imported from systems and/or
configuration files. Data can imported from and exported to files and
systems, anonymized, or generated from scratch. Domain packages provide
reusable generators for creating domain-specific data such as names and
addresses, internationalizable in language and region. benerator is
strongly customizable with plugins and configuration options.

Changes: All known bugs were fixed, and convenience was improved with the
new <reference> descriptor, configurable CSV separators, improved
distribution support, and a new "finance" domain with generators and
validators for bank account numbers with IBANs. The descriptor syntax and
semantics have been clarified and unified (see
http://databene.org/databene-benerator/file_format.html). Some more XML
Schema features are supported, but there is still work to do.

incremental indexing, user-controllable result ranking, the ability to
return results with highlights (like Google), and categorized result counts
(like Amazon). It can easily integrate with other languages with
XML/JSON/HTML. There is a UI for all operations, so no Java coding is
necessary. Deleted or updated records in database can be synchronized also.

Changes: Javadoc for rendering the search result was added. The speed of
data retrieval was increased by batching de-duplication checking. A file
deletion error on Windows was fixed. Logging was added for direct Lucene
queries. Search usage logging based on IP for servers behind proxies was
improved.

[008] - envstore 2
by Maximilian Gaß (http://freshmeat.net/users/mxey/)
Mon, Jul 14th 2008 17:44

About: envstore allows you to save environment variables into a seperate
store, list them, and reload them into the shell again.

Changes: This release adds a better usage statement and a nicer way to set
variables directly, instead of setting and exporting them from the shell
first. It also adds some unit tests.

[009] - Flexible Isometric Fallout-like Engine 2008.1
by mvBarracuda (http://freshmeat.net/users/mvbarracuda/)
Mon, Jul 14th 2008 03:58

Games/Entertainment :: Role-Playing
Games/Entertainment :: Turn Based Strategy

About: Flexible Isometric Fallout-like Engine (FIFE) is a cross-platform
2D game creation framework. Games can be created with a combination of
engine, editor tools, game specific scripts, and game content (e.g. maps,
graphics, and sounds). The framework is not tied to any type of game (e.g.
RTS, RPG), but instead provides a flexible platform for all of them. It
supports different isometric views and a pure top-down view. Instead of
full 3D flexibility, the engine focuses mainly on using high quality 2D
graphics. This puts fewer demands on target platforms and also simplifies
the framework and game development.

Changes: The license has been switched from the GPL 2.0 to the LGPL 2.1 or
newer. Map format and resource loading (datasets branch) have been
improved. There is a vastly improved editor tool and batch object loading.
There is a new (work in progress) Rio de hola demo: new maps, graphics, and
sounds. Eye candy: stepless zoom (OpenGL mode only) and instance coloring
and outlining.

[015] - GNU libextractor 0.5.20c
by Christian Grothoff (http://freshmeat.net/users/grothoff/)
Mon, Jul 14th 2008 03:56

Communications :: File Sharing
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Indexing/Search
Software Development :: Libraries

About: libextractor is a library used to extract meta-data from files of
arbitrary type. It is designed to use helper-libraries to perform the
actual extraction, and to be trivially extendable by linking against
external extractors for additional file types. The goal is to provide
developers of file-sharing networks, file managers, and WWW-indexing bots
with a universal library to obtain meta-data about files. It includes a
shell-command and bindings for Java (JNI) and Python.

Changes: This release fixes locale paths (for translations). It also
ensures that plugin loading and unloading are thread-safe. Some linkage
errors on OpenBSD were resolved. An experimental thumbnail extractor based
on ffmpeg was added (but is not enabled by default due to security
concerns).

[027] - ns4 4.1.2
by Chris Mason (http://freshmeat.net/users/chrimaso/)
Mon, Jul 14th 2008 17:55

Utilities

About: ns4 is a configuration management tool which allows the automated
backup of just about anything, but it was designed for routers and
switches. If you are able to log into it through a CLI, you can back it up.
Commands are defined within a configuration file, and when they are
executed, the output is sent to a series of FTP servers for archiving. As
well as archiving configurations, it allows scripts to be run on nodes;
this allows configurations to be applied en masse and allows conditional
logic so different bits of scripts are run on different nodes.

Changes: This release adds support for proxy load balancing and includes
more informative messages about unmatched last lines. It fixes a regression
bug where MATCH_X dynamic variables failed to match.

time problems, and minor memory leaks. It also solves a potential driver
hang with a corrupted or very huge directory.

by Izzy (http://freshmeat.net/users/izzysoft/)
Mon, Jul 14th 2008 13:41

Software Development
Software Development :: Build Tools

About: pkgmake automates some steps when making software releases. It
creates a copy of the development tree, optionally cleans it up a bit (i.e.
removes CVS/* and .svn/*), tars it, places the tarball in the SOURCES/
directory, creates the corresponding .spec file from a provided template
(and the data specified in the configuration/on the command line), and runs
rpmbuild and/or debbuild as well as spec2arch. As a result, you will have
packages for Debian and RPM based distributions as well as the PKGBUILD
file for ArchLinux. Using relman as the recommended frontend to pkgmake,
new software releases are as easy as calling relman with two parameters:
the project name plus the release version - and all packages are made and
distributed.

Changes: An additional script has been added (and integrated with the main
process) to also create PKGBUILD files as used by "pacman", the package
manager of ArchLinux. So pkgmake now supports three different packaging
systems.

own projects, although they offer useful features for working with PDF
files.

Changes: Besides countless bugfixes, performance improvements, and API
clean ups, several new features were added. A PDF imposition tool,
encryption support for RC4 and AES, Unicode font support, content stream

[035] - Polyspool 0.3.5
by Mark Gannon (http://freshmeat.net/users/ctesias2/)
Mon, Jul 14th 2008 03:57

About: Polyspool combines the Common Unix Printing System, Ghostscript,
Samba, and a live Linux CD to create an easy-to-use open source print
spooler capable of supporting Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux clients.
Polyspool provides a simple Web interface and requires no knowledge of
Linux commands to successfully deploy. Because Polyspool uses the standard
PostScript driver bundled with the Windows operating systems and
Ghostscript to render the print job, only one driver needs to be installed
for any supported printer.

Changes: IE 7 now works with the Web UI. The Web UI now makes use of the
the Dojo Toolkit for input widgets with validation. Samba, Ghostscript,
Cups, and the PPDs have all been updated to the latest versions available.

Mon, Jul 14th 2008 17:48

System :: Monitoring
System :: Systems Administration

About: The sysstat package contains the sar, sadf, iostat, mpstat, and
pidstat commands for Linux. The sar command collects and reports system
activity information. The statistics reported by sar concern I/O transfer
rates, paging activity, process-related activites, interrupts, network
activity, memory and swap space utilization, CPU utilization, kernel
activities, and TTY statistics, among others. The sadf command may be used
to display data collected by sar in various formats. The iostat command
reports CPU statistics and I/O statistics for tty devices and disks. The
pidstat command reports statistics for Linux processes. The mpstat command
reports global and per-processor statistics.

Changes: Virtual machine time accounting has been added to "sar -u ALL"
and mpstat (%guest). pidstat has also been updated to be able to display
time spent by a task in a virtual machine. The option -S has been added to
sar, which tells sar to display swap space utilization. "%swpcad" has been
added to sar -S (percentage of cached swap memory in relation to the amount
of used swap space). "kbcommit" and "%commit" have been added to sar -r
(amount and percentage of memory needed for current workload). iostat now
displays the total number of operations per second in the NFS report.

Mon, Jul 14th 2008 13:43

Information Management
Internet :: Log Analysis
Security

About: SiLK (System for Internet-Level Knowledge) consists of two sets of
tools: a packing system and an analysis suite. The packing system receives
Netflow V5 PDUs or IPFIX and converts them into a more space efficient
format, recording the packed records into service-specific binary flat
files. The analysis suite consists of tools that can read these flat files
and then perform various query operations, ranging from per-record
filtering to statistical analysis of groups of records. The analysis tools
interoperate using pipes, allowing a user to develop a relatively
sophisticated query from a simple beginning.

Changes: It is now possible to use the PySiLK (SiLK in Python) capability
in rwcut, rwuniq, and rwsort to create arbitrary fields for printing,
counting, and sorting. rwuniq can count more bins than will fit in memory.
When its hash table fills, rwuniq uses temporary files to store the data
and merges these files once all input has been read. rwtotal has minimum
and maximum thresholds. rwflowpack and the sensor.conf syntax have been
changed to allow the administrator to explicitly set the directionality of
collected flows (for use on a unidirectional tap).

[056] - Votorola 0.1.10
by Michael Allan (http://freshmeat.net/users/mcallan/)
Mon, Jul 14th 2008 08:22

About: Votorola is software for hosting free and open elections. It
provides the freedom to nominate one's own candidate, to retain control of
one's own vote, and to express one's choice in year round, continuous
elections. The elections are independently hosted by volunteers in your own
community, the votes are openly posted for verification, and the voter
lists are backed by a trust network that is rooted in local neighborhoods.
You are invited to join with your neighbors in advancing your candidates
for public office, your policies for executive action, and your legislative
bills for statutory law. All it takes to declare independence is to vote
free.

Changes: Doubt signaling was implemented as an adjunct to the trust
network, serving to indicate suspicious voter registrations. Controls and
views of the overall trust network were added to the Web interface. A cache
was added to relieve the load on remote geocoding services. Constraints on
the length of user input were tightened, closing several security holes. A
theory outline was drafted, predicting the rough fit of Votorola in
society.

videos from your XFree86 desktop for illustration or documentation
purposes. It is intended to be a standards-based alternative to tools like
Lotus ScreenCam.

Changes: The ffmpeg version was increased. A DBUS remote control
application was added. The capture area may now follow the mouse pointer.
Direct VOB creation, Flash Screen Video, and FFmpeg Video 1 are supported.
