Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Players :: MP3
About: Mylene is a command line MPEG audio player. It can play plain and
system embedded MPEG audio streams. It works for Linux OSS and ALSA
emulated OSS and Mac OS X. The player can be used interactively by telling
it to establish a UNIX or INET server on which commands can be received.
The seek-h262 MPEG decoder is required for audio and system MPEG decoding.
Changes: Two random access related bugs (one of which was introduced in
the previous release) were fixed. Some portability issues have been
addressed. MPEG audio stream random access has been further refined.

[035] - PSIworld 0.3
by Tolga Dalman (http://freshmeat.net/users/tdalman/)
Thu, Aug 14th 2008 14:52
Games/Entertainment
Scientific/Engineering :: Artificial Intelligence
Scientific/Engineering :: Neuroscience
About: PSIworld (Programmable Scalable Interactive World) is a framework
that provides a set of libraries, utilities, and applications to ease the
implementation of dynamic artificial intelligence environments.
Specifically, the development of multi-agent applications is targeted. It
is designed in a generic manner so that various kinds of applications can
use it. This framework not only includes pure algorithm libraries for AI
computation tasks, but also a C/C++ library for distributed computation. A
server-client model also involves various, concurrent visualization methods
of distinct Agents or Societies.
Changes: The codebase has been converted from C to C++. The build system
has been replaced by the standard GNU Autotools. The PSIutil package was
moved out of the main PSIworld distribution as a separate package. Several
new features which were too cumbersome to implement in C were implemented,
such as generic sparse matrices (used as Terrain implementation) and a much
cleaner XML parser/streamer interface.

[041] - Streamline 1.7.4.4
by Willem de Bruijn (http://freshmeat.net/users/wdebruij/)
Thu, Aug 14th 2008 14:20
System :: Networking :: Monitoring
System :: Operating System Kernels :: Linux
About: Streamline is a pipelined I/O subsystem for both kernel and
application processing on Linux, with 40+ filters for pattern matching,
stream reassembly, compression, etc. It exports the pipes, sockets, and
pcap interfaces and uses shared memory to reduce I/O copy and context
switch cost.
Changes: This is mainly a bugfix release. It bumps kernel support up to
2.6.26, fixes regressions down to 2.6.19, reduces signalling overhead
(increasing small packet performance), and fixes a host of issues that
resulted from switching to blocking as default stream behavior in 1.7.4.
The socket, pipe, and pcap interfaces have all been verified to work.

[042] - STX B+ Tree 0.8.2
by Timo Bingmann (http://freshmeat.net/users/tbingmann/)
Thu, Aug 14th 2008 14:34
Software Development :: Libraries
About: The STX B+ Tree package is a set of C++ template classes
implementing a B+ tree key/data container in main memory. The classes are
designed as drop-in replacements of the STL containers set, map, multiset,
and multimap, and follow their interfaces very closely. By packing multiple
value pairs into each node of the tree, the B+ tree reduces heap
fragmentation and utilizes cache-line effects better than the standard
red-black binary tree. The tree algorithms are based on the implementation
in Cormen, Leiserson, and Rivest's Introduction into Algorithms, Jan
Jannink's paper, and other algorithm resources. The classes contain
extensive assertion and verification mechanisms to ensure the
implementation's correctness by testing the tree invariants.
Changes: All issues with reverse_iterators not working properly and one
harmless bad-memory access were fixed.

Thu, Aug 14th 2008 17:30
Internet
Security
System :: Networking
About: The TimeMachine can record the entire contents of a high-volume
network traffic stream in order to later "travel back in time" and inspect
activity that has only become interesting in retrospect. Two examples of
use are security forensics (determining just how an attacker compromised a
given machine) and network trouble-shooting, such as inspecting the
precursors to a fault after the fault. The TimeMachine is designed to work
in Gigabit environments and to store several days of network traffic. It
can interface with network intrusion detection systems to enable
retrospective analysis.
Changes: The=is release greatly improves performance. It can interface
with Intrusion Detection Systems, and logging facilities have been
extended.

[050] - WrapLinux 1.6
by H. Peter Anvin (http://freshmeat.net/users/hpa/)
Thu, Aug 14th 2008 23:13
System :: Boot
About: WrapLinux is a utility to wrap a Linux kernel, together with a
kernel command line and one or more initrd/initramfs files into a single
file in ELF or NBI format. This is required by certain boot protocols, such
as Etherboot/Netboot, and may otherwise be desired for consistency reasons.
It can be considered a replacement for the mknbi and mkelf utilities.
Changes: This release fixes a bug that prevented WrapLinux from being
compiled without an executable stack. WrapLinux never needed an executable
stack; this was strictly an omission.
