Sat, Aug 30th 2008 17:44
Software Development :: Testing
About: benerator is a framework for creating realistic and valid
high-volume test data, used for testing (unit/integration/load) and
showcase setup. Metadata constraints are imported from systems and/or
configuration files. Data can imported from and exported to files and
systems, anonymized, or generated from scratch. Domain packages provide
reusable generators for creating domain-specific data such as names and
addresses, internationalizable in language and region. benerator is
strongly customizable with plugins and configuration options.
Changes: Database data generation is strongly simplified by many useful
defaults and syntax extensions, e.g. dynamically evaluated selector
expressions, SQL inlining, and default configuration for columns that
appear in several tables (e.g. id, uuid, created_at, created_by, etc.).
Data can be exported to SQL files now. You can also inline scripts in Java,
JavaScript, Java, Ruby, Python, Groovy, FreeMarker, Velocity, Tcl, and
more. New name packages are included for Finland, Sweden, Norway, The
Netherlands, Turkey, and the Czech Republic. Finally, some resource leaks
and other bugs were removed.

processing of multiple documents and convenient translating.
Changes: This release improves support for additional fields in Sub
Station Alpha and Extended SubRip formats. These fields are still not
editable, but their values are now preserved. Editing files with different

character encoding by default. Gaupol is now registered to handle various
subtitle file MINE types. The PyGTK dependency has been raised to 2.12 or
greater. A lot of small feature enhancements have been made, and many bugs
have been fixed.

Sat, Aug 30th 2008 17:35
Scientific/Engineering :: Mathematics
About: Libapmath is a C++ arbitrary precision math library designed to be
as convenient as possible, besides performing well. The approach taken is
that of choosing names like those in <cmath> and implementing all
arithmetic by overloading of operators.
Changes: Some benchmarking tools that were used in the development of
earlier versions are now publicly available for testing of user-programmed
algorithms. This version makes precision checks more admissible, in that
the precision of a number can be adapted automatically if necessary. The
handling of limit cases in the trigonometric routines has been improved and
more carefully tested. As usual, there are also many minor bugfixes and
enhancements of the lower level algorithms.

MacOS X, HP-UX, QNX, and OS/2. It is used by libdvdread and most DVD
players such as VLC because of its portability and because, unlike similar
libraries, it does not require your DVD drive to be region locked.
Changes: This release supports DVD drive auto-detection and accepts "X:\"
as a device name on Windows. Failure recovery has been greatly improved,
and various minor bugs were fixed. For developers, a new
dvdcss_is_scrambled() function is provided, and the library now installs a
standard .pc file.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Indexing/Search
About: Pinot is a D-Bus service that crawls, indexes your documents, and
monitors them for changes. It is also a GTK-based user interface that
enables you to query the index built by the service or your favorite Web
engine, and display and analyze the results. It makes full use of advanced

whether the system is low on disk space or on battery. Boolean operators
are only supported in upper-case. On first runs, more useful stored queries
are created. Recent GIO can be used to sniff data types. Unknown text
formats are better handled. The output of external filters can be scanned
if need be. There is some support for OpenXML formats. Several plugins have
been updated, and the CreativeCommons plugin removed. With gcc 4.x, symbol
visibility is set to hidden by default. Translations have been updated.

Games/Entertainment :: Fortune Cookies
About: xcowsay is a graphical configurable talking cow. It's a GTK+
version of the classic cowsay Perl script. It displays a cute pop-up cow on
your desktop with a speech bubble and some customizable text. It comes with
a fortune(6) wrapper script, xcowfortune, which you can cron to deliver
periodic fortune cookies via the cow. It even has a daemon mode that lets
you send the cow's messages over DBus.
Changes: This version adds a new "dream" mode that displays images in the
cow's thought bubble. There's also a new "think" mode that displays text in
a thought bubble. Many bugs from 1.0 have been fixed.
