Mon, Aug 4th 2008 20:32

About: CCux Linux is a Linux distribution especially optimized for i686
and higher processor architectures. For package management it uses the RPM
format in connection with the smart tools, which give it automatic
dependency resolving when installing new software and therefore makes the
installation of new software much easier.

Changes: Many new features have been implemented, and the installer and
installation system have been totally reworked. Highlights include KDE
4.1.0, GNOME, XFCE, Fluxbox, Linux 2.6.26, OpenOffice, and VDR integration.

[014] - deco archive file extractor 1.4
by P. Hartlich (http://freshmeat.net/users/phartlich/)
Mon, Aug 4th 2008 17:08

System :: Archiving

About: deco is a universal archive file extractor that has a consistent
command line interface ("deco 1.tar.bz2 2.zip 3.flac 4.rar 5.deb") and
consistent behavior (never deleting archives after extraction and
extracting relative to the current working directory, just verbosely
enough, all unless explicitly requested otherwise). It creates an
extraction directory if there is more than one file or directory at the
archive top level, and it is able to fix strange permissions. Dozens of
archive formats are supported out of the box, and the modular design makes
adding support for others trivial.

Changes: In case of a conflict, the top-level entrys name is prefixed
with 1-, 2-, ..., 5- instead of %, %%, ..., %%%%%. The code has been
slightly improved.

[023] - Ghostscript 8.63
by Moritz Barsnick (http://freshmeat.net/users/barsnick/)
Mon, Aug 4th 2008 20:42

Multimedia :: Graphics
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Graphics Conversion
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Viewers

About: Ghostscript is a processor for PostScript and PDF files. It can
rasterize these files to a wide variety of printers, devices for screen
preview, and image file formats. Since applications tend to prepare pages
for printing in a high-level format such as PostScript, most Unix users
with low-level bitmap printers, such as inkjets, use GhostScript as part of
the printing process. In addition, Ghostscript is capable of converting
PostScript files, functionality comparable to Adobe Acrobat Distiller, but
on the command line. In addition, Ghostscript is used for file import and
viewing by a great many other applications, including xv, ImageMagick,
gimp, and xdvi. Several GUI wrappers for viewing PostScript and PDF files
exist, including GSview, ghostview, gv, ggv, and kghostview. This is far
from a comprehensive list.

Changes: Support for multi-threaded rendering using
"-dNumRenderingThreads=n" was implemented. Images are now always
interpolated in their source colorspace. Support for OpenPrinting Vector
devices was upgraded to version 1.0. Two new experimental devices, a cairo
output device and the svgwrite device, were added. Several robustness and
performance improvements were made for large files, invalid PDF, and font
handling.

[029] - mod-xslt 2008080400 (Snapshots)
by Carlo Contavalli (http://freshmeat.net/users/ccontavalli/)
Mon, Aug 4th 2008 03:51

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: HTTP Servers

About: mod-xslt is an Apache module that converts XML files into HTML
files using XSLT stylesheets. It was written to overcome most of the
limits of similar modules and uses a standard API, which could easily be
used for other applications or to support more servers. It is able to
parse dynamically generated documents, both in POST and GET requests,
includes a fully featured language to choose the stylesheet to load from
both configuration files and from .xml files, and allows stylesheets to
access server variables. It supports redirects, dynamically generated
stylesheets, and both Apache 1 and 2.

Changes: In preparation for a released, a new snapshot has been made after
almost 2 years. It includes many bugfixes, better handling for local://
URLs, better debugging details, better support for non-Linux systems, and
official support for Apache 2.2 (and above). Many changes that had been
waiting in CVS and the mailing list have finally reached a snapshot.

[033] - P4A 3.0.2 (Stable)
by Fabrizio Balliano (http://freshmeat.net/users/balliano/)
Mon, Aug 4th 2008 14:22

Database :: Front-Ends
Information Management
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content

About: P4A (PHP For Applications) a PHP5 RAD and object oriented PHP
framework for building event-driven, stateful Web applications. It is based
on Zend Framework and features tableless HTML, multiple databases, access
key support, auto data type recognition, transparent AJAX, UTF-8,
internationalization, and localization.

Changes: A change was done on P4A_Array_Source to enable the usage of
empty array_sources. Tooltips are now automatically translated at rendering
time. P4A_DB_Source::saveRow() now reads pk values back from
Zend_DB_Table::insert(), gaining better functionality with auto increment
primary keys. jQuery UI was updated to 1.5.2. A bug with
P4A_I18N::_normalize() was solved. The p4a_focus_set() JavaScript function
was reworked to avoid firebug warnings. Loading a P4A_Array_Source with a
simple array now doesn't create the "0" field; it was renamed to "f0" to
avoid problems with some PHP configurations.

[037] - PDFResurrect 0.03
by enferex (http://freshmeat.net/users/enferex/)
Mon, Aug 4th 2008 03:57

Security
Utilities

About: PDFResurrect is a tool aimed at analyzing PDF documents. The PDF
format allows for previous document changes to be retained in a more recent
version of the document, thereby creating a running history of changes for
the document. This tool attempts to extract all previous versions while
also producing a summary of changes between versions. It can also "scrub"
or write data over the original instances of PDF objects that have been
modified or deleted, in an effort to disguise information from previous
versions that might not be intended for anyone else to read.

[041] - TKDO 0.5
by ToyKeeper (http://freshmeat.net/users/toykeeper/)
Mon, Aug 4th 2008 03:53

Information Management
Office/Business :: Scheduling

About: TKDO is a master TODO list with command line and PyGTK interfaces.
It takes all your VimOutliner todo.otl outlines, merges them into a single
flat list, auto-sorts them, filters them, and adds support for things like
contexts and recurring events. It also has a snooze button, to mark tasks
as "don't bug me about this for a while". The entire system is based on
plain text files, with a GUI to make certain tasks easier and faster. Due
to its plain text nature, it's easy to extend or customize the system with
short scripts.

Changes: This release adds a 'tick' command to wake up tasks via cron. It
adds shorter aliases for CLI commands. The external editor command is
configurable. A 'due_bonus' config has been added for 'due' and 'fixed
recurring' tasks. The default max overdue values have been raised to 1.75
and 1.333. An issue where "@" was a context has been fixed. This release
sorts contexts before saving to keep the order consistent. An '-N' option
has been added to the 'cal' command to limit output to N items.

[042] - Trisul 0.4.162
by Vivek Rajagopalan (http://freshmeat.net/users/vivekrajan/)
Mon, Aug 4th 2008 20:33

System :: Networking :: Monitoring

About: Trisul meters bandwidth usage, monitors flows, and stores raw
packets for future drilldown analysis. All traffic data is stored in a
SQLITE3 database. It communicates with the outside world via the Trisul
Remote Protocol (TRP) and via a Ruby-on-rails application called Web
Trisul. What sets Trisul apart from other monitoring tools is its
drill-down capabilities for analyzing past events (e.g. "Show me the top
hosts using ICMP at 5AM this morning"). Trisul combined with WebTrisul can
be used as a Web-based network security monitoring platform. Web Trisul
features live SVG charts that allow you to select a time interval and
invoke drill-down analysis using the raw traffic data as the source. You
can also write tools that communicate with Trisul directly via a secure TLS
connection using the Trisul Remote Protocol.

Changes: PPP and PPPoE interfaces are supported. SQLITE3 amalgamation has
been updated to version 3.6. A major stability issue has been fixed. A
memory leak has been fixed with TRP Controlled Context Request. There are
various other fixes and tweaks. Web Trisul (the Rails application) has been
updated to allow multiple capture profiles to be activated at the same
time.

Mon, Aug 4th 2008 14:20

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: The "--thicklines" option was added, which causes everything to
be drawn with thicker lines. Icons were added. Minor optimizations were
made for performance. The Linux specific rumble code was protected with
ifdefs. Now bombs bounce off the airships.
