[007] - Butterfly Container 2.3.10-beta
by Jakob Jenkov (http://freshmeat.net/users/jjenkov/)
Wed, Aug 6th 2008 11:54
About: Butterfly Container is a Java dependency injection container. It is
smaller (~100KB jar), yet more flexible and easier to use than Spring,
Pico, and Guice (at least in the developers' opinion). Instead of XML,
Butterfly Container is configured using a simple, flexible, Java-like
configuration language, or by plugging plain non-annotation, non-reflection
Java factories into the container. There are no external dependencies.
Changes: This version adds more intelligent script-to-method matching than
2.2.9. It also fixes two minor bugs related to the improved error messages
in 2.2.9.

by mlitz (http://freshmeat.net/users/mlitz/)
Wed, Aug 6th 2008 09:45
Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Indexing/Search
About: Catacomb is a WebDAV repository module for use with the Apache
WebDAV module, mod_dav. Apache mod_dav parses WebDAV protocol requests into
operations on a repository providing persistent storage of resources and
their properties. The default repository for mod_dav is provided by a
separate module, mod_dav_fs, which stores resource bodies as files in the
filesystem, and stores properties in a (G)DBM database. Catacomb provides a
replacement for mod_dav_fs called mod_dav_repos that stores resources and
their properties in a relational database (MySQL). The primary advantage of
this approach is the searching capabilities of the database are used to
implement the DASL protocol.
Changes: This version is the first version which supports database
abstraction using mod_dbd from Apache 2.2.X. It could be seen as the first
release candidate of version 1.0. From now on, no new features will be
added, just performance and stability will be increased.

data on hard disk. Photos can be viewed directly in the application. It can
download new photos from a camera, sort them into albums, and prepare them

Changes: Java 1.6 is now required. CD scanning was improved. Other
improvements and bugfixes were made.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Indexing/Search
About: Chestnut FTP Search is a Web application to search for files on FTP
servers. Users can query files by part of the file name, the entire file

with errors in last indexing, and show the error message and error time.
New configuration parameters to customize main page content and meta tags.
The indexer can work as a daemon process, and automatically detect and fix
dead server locks at startup. File structure browsing without connecting to
the file server is possible.

Information Management :: Metadata/Semantic Models
Information Management :: Records Management
About: Evergreen is an integrated library system originally developed by
the Georgia PINES consortium for use as their automation system. It was

new reporter operators, report editor display (horizontal scrolling)
issues, potential encoding problems for RSS and Atom feeds, fine interval
parsing, and enhancements for single-location installations.

by Erik Ekman (http://freshmeat.net/users/Yarrick/)
Wed, Aug 6th 2008 23:51
Communications
Internet :: Name Service (DNS)
Security
About: iodine is a piece of software that lets you tunnel IPv4 data
through a DNS server. This can be useful in situations where Internet
access is firewalled, but DNS queries are allowed. It needs a TUN/TAP
device to operate. The bandwidth is asymmetrical with limited upstream and
up to 1 Mbit/s downstream.
Changes: Groups are now cleared when dropping privileges. Many small
patches have been applied. UDP ports are no longer checked, so users behind
NAT should not have any problems. This was also needed because most DNS
servers are now fixed to randomize ports.

Wed, Aug 6th 2008 23:54
System :: Archiving
System :: Archiving :: Backup
About: Manent is an algorithmically strong backup and archival program. It
features efficient backup to anything that looks like storage. Currently it
supports plain filesystems ("directories"), FTP, and SFTP. Planned are
Amazon S3, optical disks, and email (SMTP and IMAP). It can work (making
progress towards finishing a backup) over a slow and unreliable network. It
can offer online access to the contents of the backup. Backed up storage is
completely encrypted. Backup is incremental, including changed parts of
large files. Moved, renamed, and duplicate files will not require
additional storage. Several computers can use the same storage for backup,
automatically sharing data. Both very large and very small files are
supported efficiently. Manent does not rely on timestamps of the remote
system to detect changes.
Changes: All tests now pass on the Windows platform (the problem involved

[031] - Mobile Web Proxy 1.1 (Development)
by Jonathan Hayward (http://freshmeat.net/users/jonathanhayward/)
Wed, Aug 6th 2008 14:28
Adaptive Technologies
Communications
Internet
About: The Mobile Web Proxy is a (CGI) tool to make more Web pages
available from some mobile devices (cell phone Web browsers, etc.). It
employs tag cleaning and paging so that Web pages it can access have far
greater chances of being rendered on devices that cannot display overly
large or complex pages. It is simple, but it seems to substantially extend
the portion of the Web available from devices that otherwise display
messages like "413: Page cannot be displayed."
Changes: New features were added, notably configuration options at the top
of the source script meant to make it easy for (some) Web site owners to
use the Mobile Web Proxy to serve up a quick and easy mobile-friendly
version of their Web sites. A link to provide a choice of several social
bookmarking services was added to the footer, and the footer (at the bottom
of pages) was cleaned up slightly.

[037] - ns4 4.1.4
by Chris Mason (http://freshmeat.net/users/chrimaso/)
Wed, Aug 6th 2008 14:30
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: Apart from fixing a few minor problems with Perl 5.10, this
release adds support for PRE and POST blocks within scripts. It also adds a
sample script to show how easy it is to implement basic RANCID
functionality within ns4.

fracture dynamics that applies the Spectral Element Method (SEM, similar to

audience in computational mechanics, research, and engineering.
Changes: This version introduces a Maxwell-viscous regularization for
plasticity and structured meshing of non-planar faults. Minor bugfixes are
reflected by changes in the input syntax for time integration
(Newmark/HHT), receiver locations, and linear distributions.

About: SQL Construction Kit aims to provide a simple builder/factory
pattern based approach to generating DML SQL for all popular RDBMS systems.
Included builders are SelectBuilder, InsertBuilder, UpdateBuilder, and
DeleteBuilder. It is much lighter weight than any of the ORM tools
available, and is 100% Java. It has been in production use since 2001. Also
included is a Facade patterned Database object that wraps a Datasource
object. This provides an execution framework for the results of the Builder
objects, which includes simplified transaction and batch management as well
as the ability to transparently handle SQL exceptions in a default manner.
The Database object also provides a simple object-oriented approach via
wrappers around the database metadata.

environment, TheIDE, introduces modular conception to C++ programming, and
can be used to develop non-U++ applications.
Changes: A new, very fast String/WString implementation. A new, high
performance (mostly) lock-free heap allocator. Improved multithreading
support. A CoWork multicore loop parallelization class. Unified drag and
drop support. PostgreSQL support. Win64 support (except the debugger). A
QuickTabs class. HeaderCtrl can now move (reorganize) tabs. ArrayCtrl
automated column sorting. Chameleon look and feel improvements under GTK
and Vista. The Topic++ documentation editor is now integrated into the main
window. Help is integrated into the main window.
