[001] - A Sudoku Solver in C 1.20
by Bill DuPree (http://freshmeat.net/users/wdupre1/)
Sun, Aug 17th 2008 19:00
About: A Sudoku Solver in C is a console-based program that solves Su Doku
puzzles (a.k.a. Sudoku or Number Place) using deductive logic. It will only
resort to trial-and-error and backtracking approaches upon exhausting its
deductive moves. On an Athlon 64 4000, it solves about 9000 medium puzzles
per second.
Changes: Markup and evaluation rules have been re-factored for
thoroughness and efficiency. The solver engine has been packaged as a
reusable object module. The puzzle scoring system has been improved, and a
bug that caused early bifurcation was fixed.

Software Development :: Libraries :: Ruby Modules
About: Base4r is a client library for Google Base, written in Ruby. It is
currently able to authenticate and to create, update, and delete Base items
from your Ruby project.
Changes: This release adds a required "unique_id" attribute to Item, as
this is now required for all Base items. It works around XML formatting
issues that appeared since the unit tests were last run by removing
inter-tag whitespace in unit tests. The default values for "target_country"
and "item_lang" in the constructor for UniversalItem and ProductItem have
been removed to make the code a little less Brit-centric.

task ahead of him. The Blobs' homeworld is still littered with the alien
forces and Bob once again makes it his task to lead the counter attack. But
even without Galdov the aliens are still extremely well organised.
Changes: Multiple sources of crashes were fixed. Multiple sources of
memory leaks were fixed. Introductory and ending sequences were added.
Credits were added.

[014] - Flex Bison C++ Template 0.1.2
by Timo Bingmann (http://freshmeat.net/users/tbingmann/)
Sun, Aug 17th 2008 07:20
Software Development :: Code Generators
About: Flex Bison C++ Template is a code template that can be used to
integrate a Flex scanner and Bison parser pair into a modern C++ program.
These two universal tools are very difficult to incorporate into a good C++
design. The template utilizes both Flex and Bison in C++ mode and their
output are encapsulated into classes. Thus the lexer and parser become
fully reentrant, and multiple distinct lexer-parser pairs can easily be
linked into one binary. The code implements a simple infix-notation
calculator as an example, which can be used as a starting-point for you to
insert your grammar.
Changes: This version solves compilation errors that occurred when no
%union directive is used in the grammar. Furthermore, it fixes a problem
with the new flex version 2.5.35.

About: gtkaml is an XML syntax and an XML parser that extends the
Vala.Parser and transforms all your XML tags into a valid Gtk+ UI class. It
features a compact XML syntax for describing the way Gtk widgets are laid
out in a (new) custom widget you're creating. Code "islands" (written in
Vala) are used for widget signal handling and other
methods/signals/properties that you're introducing. It doesn't depend on an
external library at run-time, and it is much more readable than the usual
UI boilerplate.
Changes: valacompiler was upgraded to 0.3.5. A problem that caused gtkaml
to consider a misspelled tag with no content or subtags to be an attached
attribute and then ignore it was fixed.

[034] - Seed7 2008-08-17
by Thomas Mertes (http://freshmeat.net/users/thomas_mertes/)
Sun, Aug 17th 2008 23:19
Software Development :: Compilers
Software Development :: Interpreters
About: Seed7 is a general purpose programming language. It is a higher
level language compared to Ada, C++, and Java. In Seed7, new statements and
operators can be declared easily. Functions with type results and type
parameters are more elegant than a template or generics concept. Object
orientation is used when it brings advantages and not in places when other
solutions are more obvious. Although Seed7 contains several concepts of
other programming languages, it is generally not considered as a direct
descendant of any other programming language.
Changes: The FAQs about "static type checking" and "development speed and
type checking" were added or improved. The chapters about boolean, string,
set, category, and reference in the manual were added or improved. The
functions toUuencoded and fromUuencoded were added to the encoding.s7i
library. The 'configValue' function was improved to support more values.The
function growStri was improved to work correctly when memory is scarce. The
makefiles were improved to define TWOS_COMPLEMENT_INTTYPE when appropriate.
The file setlib.c was improved to work correctly with bitsettypes of
different sizes.

Changes: Among other minor changes, this release makes pkgtools and all
the subprocesses run with C locale settings for consistency with the
expected behaviour of several tools like tar, and makes the list-transient
and list-new operation print the package paths next to the package names
for new packages.

[038] - TclDtrace 0.5
by lrem (http://freshmeat.net/users/lrem/)
Sun, Aug 17th 2008 07:35
Software Development :: Debuggers
Software Development :: Libraries :: Tcl Extensions
About: TclDtrace is a binding of libdtrace to the Tcl programming
language. DTrace is a system profiling suite created by Sun Microsystems.
It allows the user to profile a program without modifying its text, or even
without the need to distract it if it is running. It consists of a set of
library hooks called "providers", a set of tools, a C API (libdtrace), and
its own specially crafted scripting language called D. A Tcl binding to
libdtrace will allow users to run D scripts and process their results
directly from Tcl.
Changes: This is mostly a cleanup version. The code has been shortened and
made a bit more robust. A single memory leak has been fixed.
