[001] - aiParts 0.9.0
by Brian Marshall (http://freshmeat.net/users/bmarshal/)
Wed, Sep 3rd 2008 04:50
Scientific/Engineering :: Artificial Intelligence
About: aiParts is a set of C++ classes that can be used to implement
artificial intelligence, subclasses that implement the HighHope technique,
and some sample programs (including "find the shortest path"). A problem
assembled from subclasses of the High-Hope classes knows how to solve
itself by searching for a good solution.
Changes: A layer was added for solving resource/requirement problems.
Decisions can be decided multiple times. Pandemoniums can be ordered and
unique by keys. New classes were added for date and time. Decision groups
are no longer supported. Many minor changes were made.

[002] - Apache AntUnit 1.1 Beta 1
by Stefan Bodewig (http://freshmeat.net/users/bodewig/)
Wed, Sep 3rd 2008 14:37
Software Development :: Build Tools
Software Development :: Testing
About: AntUnit is a library of Ant tasks that was initially developed to
write tests for Ant tasks without resorting to JUnit. It makes it easy to
turn an existing build file that exhibits an error into an AntUnit test.
Tests are written as targets in a build file using assertion tasks provided
by AntUnit. The antunit task executes targets in a collection of build
files and supports custom listeners in a manner similar to the junit task's
formatters.
Changes: This version fixes a few bugs of AntUnit 1.0 and adds a few new
assertions. The most visible change is that listeners can now receive the
output of the project under testing and the XML, and plainlisteners have
been adapted to optionally include this output in their own logs.

About: Arno's IPTABLES Firewall Script is a secure stateful firewall for
both single and multi-homed machines. It supports NAT and SNAT, port
forwarding, ADSL ethernet modems with both static and dynamically assigned
IPs, MAC address filtering, stealth port scan detection, DMZ support,
protection against SYN/ICMP flooding, experimental IPv6 support,
multi-interface/aliased-IP support, and extensive user definable logging
with rate limiting to prevent log flooding. It has plugin support to add
extra features (like SSH Brute Force protection and (Racoon) IPSEC
support). It is easy to configure and highly customizable. A filter script
that makes your firewall log more readable is also included.
Changes: A new DynDNS plugin was added to open ports for DynDNS (Internet)
hosts. New default policy handling was added for LAN->INET, DMZ->INET,
INET->DMZ, etc. The use of source destination IPs with NAT forwards was
fixed. A basic install script (install.sh) was implemented. Several
functions and variables were moved into a new separate "environment" file.
Minor changes and updates were done for plugins. DSL-PPP-modem and
transparent-proxy support were moved into a seperate plugin. The default
firewall log file was changed to /var/log/firewall.log.

Wed, Sep 3rd 2008 22:51
Documentation
Scientific/Engineering :: Artificial Intelligence
Scientific/Engineering :: Mathematics
About: Daikon is an implementation of dynamic detection of likely
invariants. An invariant is a property (such as "x=2*y+5" or
"this.next.prev = this" or "myarray is sorted by <") that holds at a
certain point or points in a program. Invariants are often seen in assert
statements, documentation, and formal specifications. Invariants can be
useful in program understanding and a host of other applications. Daikon
runs a program, observes the values that the program computes, and then
reports properties that were true over the observed executions. It can
detect properties in Java, C, C++, Perl, and IOA programs, in spreadsheet
files, and in other data sources.
Changes: Kvasir was updated to create the new format for declaration
records. Kvasir was also upgraded to support newer versions of glibc.

[018] - Hachoir core 1.2
by Haypo (http://freshmeat.net/users/haypo/)
Wed, Sep 3rd 2008 14:31
Software Development :: Disassemblers
Utilities
About: Hachoir is a Python library used to represent a binary file as a
tree of Python objects. Each object has a type, a value, an address, etc.
The goal is to be able to know the meaning of each bit in a file. Hachoir
is able to open invalid or truncated files. It only reads or computes data
on demand to minimize load times. Many field types are predefined (integer,
bit, string, etc.) and strings with a given character set (such as
ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8) are supported. Addresses and sizes are stored in bits.
Changes: Field.getFieldType() was created to describe a field type and
give some useful information. The TimestampUnix64 field type was created.
GenericString now only guesses the character set once. If the charset
attribute if not set, a guess is made when it's requested by the user.

TGA, TIFF, WMF, XCF), and video (ASF/WMV, AVI, Matroska, Quicktime,
Ogg/Theora, Real Media). It supports invalid or truncated files and Unicode
text. It can remove duplicate values. It can also filter metadata according
to priority.
Changes: The --maxlen option was created for the hachoir-metadata program.
--maxlen=0 disables the arbitrary string length limit. A FLAC metadata
extractor was created. Multiple comments in a GIF image are supported.

[021] - Hachoir urwid 1.1
by Haypo (http://freshmeat.net/users/haypo/)
Wed, Sep 3rd 2008 14:35
About: hachoir-urwid is a binary file explorer that uses the Hachoir
library to parse files. Using this tool, you can know the exact meaning of
each bit/byte of your files. With direction keys, you can navigate in the
field tree. The key 'h' will disable 'human display' and switch to 'raw
display'. It's sometimes useful when you would like to compare hexadecimal
data and Hachoir representation.

can generate thumbnail image files which are used to display the gallery
images in an HTML table. The thumbnails are presented as links to pages to
show the full size images.
Changes: This release has a new function for displaying everything instead
of leaving the display part in the constructor. The transparency of PNG and
GIF images are preserved in the thumbnail. There are some bugfixes and many
other changes.

Software Development
About: Javascript VirtualKeyboard allows you to use any existing keyboard
layouts without having them installed on your local PC. This tool is useful
for embedding into a WYSIWYG HTML editor, a Web mail system, chat, forum,
or any other application requiring user input. About 70 languages/130
keyboard layouts are supported. It has an easy and powerful design,
allowing it to implement complex layouts like Korean, Japanese, Chinese,
and so on. It has full support for keyboard and mouse input. It features a
completely CSS-driven UI that is easy skinnable.
Changes: A new IME toolbar was implemented. Keyboard shortcuts for
switching pages are supported. Suggestion insertion with the mouse is
allowed by clicking on it. Chinese Pinyin layout in the uppercase input
mode was updated. Layouts were added for Chechen cyr/lat, Dari, Dinka,
Kurdish arabic/cyr/lat, Pashto, Tagalog, Tajik lat, Turkmen cyr, Uighur
arabic/cyr/lat, and Urdu arabic. Tab key presses in Internet Explorer were
fixed, inserting tab characters instead of jumping to another field. Input
of the physical deadkeys (accents) was fixed, producing duplicate symbols
input.

You can add filters on users, operations (open, read, write, chown, chmod,
etc.), filenames, and return codes. Filename's filters are regular
expressions. Since it is fuse-based, you don't need to change anything in
your kernel or hard disk partition to use it.
Changes: The open operation is divided into three operations to allow more
fine grained logging: open read/write, open read-only, and open write-only.

Wed, Sep 3rd 2008 14:45
Communications :: Telephony
Internet
System :: Diagnostics
About: MyConnection Server is broadband testing software which measures
connections for bandwidth speeds and connection quality for time critical
applications such as VoIP, Video conferencing, and IPTV. It helps
organizations assess networks for deployment of new/additional services and
identify and resolve last mile customer connectivity problems with little
need for the customer to assist in the resolution process. A network route
testing component details the path of the connections and where packet loss
and latency occur, including discovery of multiple routes to a destination.
Remote Test Agents enable technical staff to customize and interactively
manage the bandwidth testing process and perform extended quality testing
over hours or days to address and resolve intermittent problems as
required. Satellite Servers establish additional connection testing points
at the application edge to accurately test actual application network
paths.

Wed, Sep 3rd 2008 04:35
Communications :: Usenet News
About: Newsstar fetches news and posts it to a local news server: INN,
s-news, and sn are supported. What makes newsstar special is that it can
make multiple simultaneous connections, not only to one server, but to
several, supporting up to 10 "threads". Before fetching each article, it
checks that it hasn't already been downloaded by another thread or in a
previous session. It can also "pipeline" article requests to make better
use of available bandwidth. SSL is supported.
Changes: This release downgrades the message about trying to delete
outgoing articles from the queue when another thread has already deleted
them (a fairly common and harmless side effect of extra_feed).
Multi-threaded rebuilding of child thread tables is protected with a mutex.

About: PHPulse is a quick development MVC framework for PHP. It is built
to remove the redundant minutia such as form processing, table creation,
session handling, etc. and leave the developer to concentrate on the actual
application. It is also extremely lightweight and fast, with a modular
development environment that allows functionality to be added quickly and
easily with a built in templating engine.
Changes: This release adds cohesive filtering and callback getter/setter
functions for the action class, so rather than accessing functions via a
dependency injected model object, you just use

setter(function,array(var1,var2,var3,etc)) to access setters. Also included
are additional logging capabilities for the entire framework, as well as
basic fixes and improvements in speed.
