reliability, and flexibility. Advices do not recieve arguments anymore
(except atPrint). Use Aspyct.getCallData() instead. There are now only 5
join points left. PointCut is a bit more intuitive. A debug mode has been
added to prevent developers from going crazy. Conditional advices are now
available. You may now remove advices one by one. A prepare function was
added to wrap to-be-linked functions.

search capability for nodes was implemented, allowing searching on any
aspect of a node (for example, show all nodes with an Intel CPU running
CentOS 4). The data model was simplified a bit, replacing various specific
types of grouping with a generic, hierarchical "node group" model.

[031] - PowerDNS Administrator 1.1.7
by Samson (http://freshmeat.net/users/RLibiez/)
Tue, Aug 26th 2008 21:07
Internet :: Name Service (DNS)
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management
System :: Networking
About: PDNS-Admin, or PowerDNS Administrator, is a Web-based script which
aids in administering domains and records for the PowerDNS SQL name server
software. PDNS-Admin is targeted mainly toward individual domain owners,
but should be robust enough to be used in a larger capacity by an ISP or
other big host. For those who may not know, PowerDNS is a domain name
server application, much like BIND, but offering alternative backends for
the storage of domain information.
Changes: Master IP validation should only be done on SLAVE zones. Adding a
user did not send the username to the recipient. Attempting to edit a group
name through the AdminCP resulted in a crash. Entering an NS or MX record
incorrectly reported being the same as a CNAME record, even for other
domains. The missing chmod function still being used by skins and the DB
backup code has been restored. SOA records need to be deletable as well,
because importing domains using other utilities can duplicate them. Users
can now submit new domains under their own control.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: CGI Tools/Libraries
Software Development :: Libraries
Software Development :: User Interfaces
About: ppDrag is a drag'n'drop plugin for jQuery, which mimics the
interface of jQuery UI's Draggable. It currently supports a small subset of
its options, but the implementation is different, since ppDrag focuses on
performance. All major existing browsers are supported. This includes
IE6/7, Firefox1/2/3, Opera, Konqueror, Safari, and others.
Changes: Cancelling IE's default event action now works correctly.
Callbacks (only "stop" for now) receive the element both as "this" and as
an argument, just like jQuery UI Draggable. The jQuery UI version used in
this demo was updated to 1.5.2. It has received many optimizations and is
now signifficantly faster than before (though still not as fast as ppDrag).

Multimedia :: Graphics
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Graphics Conversion
Utilities
About: Renrot renames files according the flexible name template (allowing
DateTimeOriginal and FileModifyDate EXIF tags, if they exist; otherwise,
the name will be set according to the current timestamp). It can aggregate
files according to shooting time period. It can losslessly rotate JPEGs and
their thumbnails according to the Orientation EXIF tag or a given angle. It
can put commentary into the Commentary and UserComment tags. Personal
details can be specified via XMP tags defined in a configuration file.
Changes: Thumbnail generation has been added. Aggregation can be performed
with an absolute path now, but on the same file system. A thumbnail image
for the contact sheet generator can now be in any format supported by
ImageMagick. The plain documentation was expanded, especially for the
contact sheet generator. The sample directory has been created with the
dotrank and dotkeywords files. A few bugs were fixed. The
--no-ren-rot-tag-mtm option was renamed to --no-renrot.

that one can install new packages on the system. The option nameif has been
added to specify the order of the eth interfaces. Support has been added
for backing stores (which can be a loopback filesystem on a USB stick) to
keep the changes made on the system between reboots. There is improved
drivers support.

[041] - Tcl/Tk 8.6a2 (Development)
by Andres Garcia (http://freshmeat.net/users/andresgarci/)
Tue, Aug 26th 2008 15:45
Software Development :: Embedded Systems
Software Development :: Interpreters
Software Development :: Testing
About: Tcl provides a portable scripting environment for Unix, Windows,
and Macintosh that supports string processing and pattern matching, native
file system access, shell-like control over other programs, TCP/IP
networking, timers, and event-driven I/O. Tcl has traditional programming
constructs like variables, loops, procedures, namespaces, error handling,
script packages, and dynamic loading of DLLs. Tk provides portable GUIs on
UNIX, Windows, and Macintosh. A powerful widget set and the concise
scripting interface to Tk make it a breeze to develop sophisticated user
interfaces.
Changes: The "[chan pipe]" command was added. A new non-recursive
evaluation implementation decouples the Tcl evaluation stack from the C
evaluation stack. New experimental commands were added in
::tcl::unsupported: [tailcall], [atProcExit], [coroutine], and [yield].
Stack overflow protection is used in the regexp engine. Broken handling of
***= regexps was fixed. A crash in [namespace inscope {}] was fixed. The
"wrong # args" messages were made more consistent.

[047] - TMAPI 2.0 alpha1
by Lars Heuer (http://freshmeat.net/users/heuer/)
Tue, Aug 26th 2008 18:23
Information Management :: Metadata/Semantic Models
Software Development :: Libraries
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
About: TMAPI is a programming interface for accessing and manipulating
data held in a topic map. The TMAPI specification defines a set of core
interfaces which must be implemented by a compliant application, as well as
a set of additional interfaces which may be implemented by a compliant
application or which may be built upon the core interfaces. The goal is to
define a common programming interface for all topic map processors,
enabling portable code and a shorter learning curve for developers moving
between topic map processers.
Changes: Major code changes to align TMAPI to the Topic Maps Data Model.
This is the first release of the 2.x TMAPI generation, and is not TMAPI 1.0
compatible.
