Database
Documentation
Information Management
About: AgileWiki is meant to create software systems which are fluid,
easily configured and can be reorganized on-the-fly to meet ever changing
requirements. It includes a COW-based database, the Rolonics programming
paradigm, and semantic inferencing.
Changes: New up and destroy commands. The sleep command now demonstrates
an asynchronous response. A thread pool is now used in place of dedicated
threads. The command API now includes the path name of the target. All
commands have been rewritten for improved thread safety.

[009] - CleanHome 0.5
by henning (http://freshmeat.net/users/hmersch/)
Thu, Aug 21st 2008 20:34
Utilities
About: CleanHome cleans up a user's home directory by analyzing the hidden
configuration files and directories ("dot-files") against a collaboratively
maintained database. Its pluggable approach makes it easy to develop
various extensions. For example, extensions could provide general
information about the investigated file or directory or could process a
directory in a very special way. For example, it could clean up the browser
cache in .mozilla upon the user's request.
Changes: This release adds remote upload and retrieval of SimpleDB
entries. This is done via the Google App Engine "chome" project. As a side
effect, CleanHome has a Web interface for this database (view and submit).
The SVN holds the Google App Engine source as well, as the Perl script file
releases will just contain the CleanHome program itself.

[014] - deco file extraction framework 1.5.1
by P. Hartlich (http://freshmeat.net/users/phartlich/)
Thu, Aug 21st 2008 17:38
System :: Archiving
About: deco is a command-line program that, together with the deco-archive
package, allows you extract dozens of popular archive file formats. It has
a consistent interface ("deco 1.tar.bz2 2.rar 3.zip 4.flac 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.
Changes: The default archive extractor wrappers have been moved to a
separate package, deco-archive; from now on, the deco package only includes
the core program. A bug was fixed that caused a temporary directory not to
be deleted when creating symbolic links in it failed. The code has been
improved.

[015] - deco-archive 1.0
by P. Hartlich (http://freshmeat.net/users/phartlich/)
Thu, Aug 21st 2008 17:26
System :: Archiving
About: deco-archive is a collection of extractor wrappers for the deco
file extraction framework. It provides support for dozens of popular
archive formats such as tar, rar, and zip.
Changes: This is the initial release as a separate package of the
extractor wrappers previously included in deco. 7za is now used to extract
7z and tar.7z/t7z archives, because 7zr seems not to support
password-protected archives. FLAC archives are extracted with the
--keep-foreign-metadata option.

lesser bugs have been fixed.

Changes: This release has had a complete overhaul. It uses XML as the
primary application development method, and marks a freezing of the 1.1 XML
schemas. There are significant additions to the XML Application Framework
and documentation, a new Web-based administration interface, AJAX scripts,
dynamic search and selection boxes, and more. This version is licensed

[031] - KDE3TO4 0.0.4
by A.J. Venter (http://freshmeat.net/users/datadictator/)
Thu, Aug 21st 2008 14:00
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: Support for migrating konqueror search providers setup was added.
A bug in the konqueror script was fixed. Several more important blacklists
were added.

About: MonoDecrypt uses pattern matching and its knowledge about character
frequencies in order to decrypt messages encoded with a monoalphabetic
substitution cipher. MonoDecrypt can decrypt texts of any language, as long
as it has sufficient information about the language. Depending on the
information you give it, the tool decrypts about 50%-100% on its own. Then
you can decrypt the remaining data by filling the gaps or correcting bad
guesses. MonoDecrypt can also encrypt texts using monoalphabetic
substitution.

a coder. It is also independent of any particular device and execution
platform.
Changes: Much simpler behavior editing. Suggestions are made for empty
method calls. Variables can be removed. Text fields can be multi-line. A
repository browser and help tips have been added.

Thu, Aug 21st 2008 17:29
Printing
Utilities
About: pdfposter can be used to create a large poster by building it from
multple pages and/or printing it on large media. It expects as input a PDF
file, normally printing on a single page. The output is again a PDF file,
maybe containing multiple pages together, thus building the poster. The
input page will be scaled to obtain the desired size. This is much like
poster does for Postscript files, but works with PDF instead, since
sometimes poster does not like your files converted from PDF. Indeed,
pdfposter was inspired by poster.
Changes: This release allows fractions for the width and height of media-
and postersize.

numerical models and objects. There are four different models: Discrete
Element Method based on spheres, a second method based on tetrahedra,
modelling with lattice elements, and Finite Element Method.
Changes: This release has major improvements. The Qt3 interface was
refactored and a Python scripting console was added. It is now possible to
control most of the simulation from within a Python script. Clipping planes
were added to the graphical view and plotting of resultant curves is
possible. A new moment rotation law for DEM spheres was added and fully
tested. The DEM triaxial test was improved in many aspects. Finally, an STL
entity importer was added, making it possible to import shapes from sources
such as blender 3D modeling software.
