the data downloaded from HTTP(S)/FTP is uploaded to the BitTorrent swarm.
Using Metalink's chunk checksums, aria2 automatically validates chunks of
data while downloading a file like BitTorrent.
Changes: This release adds HTTP gzip content encoding support, the ability
to save a signature in Metalink as a file, the option to skip hash checking
in BitTorrent seeding, and support for FTP servers that don't support the
SIZE/REST command. A Bulgarian translation was added.

through a simple API. By working on a series of problems (such as "park the
car in parking space A"), beginners learn to program in an engaging and
goal-driven environment with which they already familiar.
Changes: API documentation has been added. The user interface has been
updated with an objectives window, a scoreboard window, and a new main
menu. Level scripting and car scripting have been modified to use OOP

Wed, Jul 23rd 2008 20:44
Security
Software Development :: Build Tools
System :: Software Distribution Tools
About: DashO Pro is a Java application obfuscator, optimizer, and size
reducer. It performs a dependency analysis on the application, finding all
necessary classes. It removes all unused methods and fields, producing
significant size reduction. Classes and methods can be renamed using the
unique Overload-induction renaming algorithm. Byte code optimization,
control flow obfuscation, and string encryption can also be selectively
applied. It also includes tools for watermarking jars and decoding
obfuscated stack traces.
Changes: Eclipse integration: you can create, edit, and execute project
files from inside Eclipse. A new "merge" output option. merge="false"
allows cross jar/directory obfuscation and pruning while retaining the
original packaging of the input classes. Command lines now support short
and long option names. Reports use standardized report headings and section
breaks. When copying a non-class, file the original date/time of the source
file is preserved. You can add and remove exclusions for a jar in the class
path by right-clicking on it and selecting Add/Remove Exclusions. There are
various bugfixes.

ImageMagick, it allows operation in several color spaces and bit depths
natively, resulting in much lower memory and computational requirements.
Some optimized algorithms operate in 1/20 of the time ImageMagick requires,
and displaying large images can be as fast as 1/10 of the time the
"display" program takes.
Changes: A keybinding was added to the lightweight image viewer edisplay
to invert images. The GIF codec was fixed to correctly read larger data
chunks as requested by libungif. The RGB to RGBA conversion buffer use was
fixed. The GRAY8 thresholding was optimized.

[017] - GChart 2.1
by johngunther (http://freshmeat.net/users/johngunther/)
Wed, Jul 23rd 2008 12:53
Scientific/Engineering :: Visualization
Software Development :: Libraries
Software Development :: Widget Sets
About: GChart is a pure-GWT client-side charting solution. It does not
require browser plugins, external JavaScript, or server round-trips. The
package supports bar and x-y scatter charts, custom ticks, left and right y
axes, grid-lines, annotated data points, and more.
Changes: This release features 10 times faster chart updates for many
common usage scenarios. For example, the oil price forecasting chart, which
used to take 640ms to update (using Firefox 2 on a 1.4GHz laptop) now takes
under 60ms. This improved performance, combined with the new widget-based
annotations and tick labels, makes it easy to create highly interactive
charts. See "Client-side GChart 2.1 Performance, Features,
Incompatibilities and Bugfixes" on the GChart home page for more
information.

[021] - homest 1.2
by Manolis Lourakis (http://freshmeat.net/users/lourakis/)
Wed, Jul 23rd 2008 17:31
Scientific/Engineering
Scientific/Engineering :: Image Recognition
About: homest is a C/C++ library for robust, non-linear homography
estimation. A homography (sometimes also called a collineation) is a
general plane to plane projective transformation whose estimation from
matched image features is often necessary in vision tasks. It computes a
homography estimate that minimizes an appropriate non-linear cost function
defined on matching points (currently either non-symmetric transfer error,
symmetric transfer error, Sampson error, or reprojection error) and
includes robust regression techniques for coping with outliers (i.e.,
mismatched point pairs). It supports the estimation of fully projective (8
dof) and affine (6 dof) homographies.
Changes: This release has the ability to estimate affine homographies in
addition to fully projective ones. A Matlab MEX interface has been added.

[023] - HTTP extension for PHP 1.6.1
by Michael Wallner (http://freshmeat.net/users/_mike_/)
Wed, Jul 23rd 2008 12:55
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Software Development :: Libraries :: PHP Classes
About: The HTTP extension for PHP aims to provide a convenient and
powerful set of functionality for one of PHP's major applications. It eases
handling of HTTP URLs, dates, redirects, headers, and messages, provides
means for negotiation of clients' preferred language and charset, as well
as a convenient way to send any arbitrary data with caching and resuming
capabilities. It provides powerful request functionality if built with CURL
support. Parallel requests are available for PHP 5 and greater.
Changes: A bug concerning building with PHP-5.3 was fixed. A bug in which
st->errorbuffer was not cleared between uses of persistent handles was
fixed. A bug in which properties of a class extending HttpMessage were
inaccessible was fixed.

[025] - KDE3TO4 0.0.2
by A.J. Venter (http://freshmeat.net/users/datadictator/)
Wed, Jul 23rd 2008 20:49
Desktop Environment :: K Desktop Environment (KDE)
About: KDE3TO4 is a wizard implemented as a set of modular bash scripts to
help users migrating from KDE3 to KDE4 by easily migrating settings for
various applications from their old KDE3 settings directory to their new
KDE4 settings directory. It requires that you keep the two directories in
separate locations. The modular design makes it easy for anybody to add
support for any application. On average, the amount of work for a given
application is very little and the wizard takes care of integrating it into
the overall process easily.
Changes: The backend has been switched to KIOClient for better
user-friendliness, desktop integration, and features. It includes an
experimental new all_apps script that handles almost all applications, with
blacklist and exception support to prevent breakage. It includes a script
to migrate amarok1.x settings.

Wed, Jul 23rd 2008 18:10
About: phpMyID is a small, fairly lightweight, standalone, single-user
Identity Provider for OpenID authentication. It comprises a single PHP
script that can be used by one individual to run their own personal OpenID

requirements. It should run on almost any server that runs PHP 4 or 5. It
requires no database, and does not access the file system beyond session
handling.
Changes: A weakness in the digest authentication method has been
addressed. A few PHP "Notices" have been corrected. Paranoid mode ancestry
checks did not work correctly in PHP4. The cancel URL did not have
'openid.mode=cancel' appended to it. Paranoid mode will not be invoked on
checkid_immediate. The Suhosin incompatibility warning can now by bypassed.
HTML META refreshes have been replaced with HTTP 302 refreshes.
