System :: Networking

About: Astaro Command Center (ACC) is an application for centralized
management of Astaro Security Gateways. With ACC, network administrators
can easily manage and control multiple Astaro devices. The two separated
Web-Based GUIs (WebAdmin and Gateway Manager) enable the split of
ACC-system administration and role-based Gateway monitoring and can be also
implemented in existing Active Directory or eDirectory environments.
provides an effective overview that details the actual health of each
device, swiftly allowing administrators to see which gateways require more
attention or immediate action (by reason of e.g. threat level, license, or
CPU/memory/disk usage). Over the one-click WebAdmin SSO to each connected
gateway, it is possible to react instantly if necessary.

Changes: This is the first Release Candidate for the public 1.9 Beta. It
contains multiple bugfixes and some feature and performance improvements
(like a filter-bar to selectively show/hide devices), adds functionality
for weekly recurring/scheduled operations, improves and colorizes all
tool-tips and makes them aware of the alert level, and adjusts monitoring
license thresholds to react more aggressively to expirations.

  Fri, Sep 5th 2008 14:49

System :: Archiving :: Backup
System :: Archiving :: Compression
System :: Installation/Setup

About: mkCDrec (Make CD-ROM Recovery) makes a bootable (El Torito)
disaster recovery image, including backups of the Linux system to one or
more CD-ROM(s) (multi-volume sets). Otherwise, the backups can be stored on
another disk, NFS/CIFS disk, or (remote) tape. After a disk crash or system
intrusion, the system can be booted from the CD-ROM and one can restore the
complete system as it was. It also features disk cloning, which allows one
to restore a disk to another disk (the destination disk does not have to be
of the same size, as it calculates the partition layout itself). Currently,
ext2, ext3, minix, MS-DOS, FAT, VFAT, Reiserfs, XFS, and JFS filesystems
are supported. It can restore disks in Software RAID and LVM mode. It
supports the One Button Disaster Recovery (OBDR) mode, which simulates a
bootable CD-ROM on tape.

Changes: This release adds support for the initramfs filesystem for
booting OpenSuse and FecoraCore releases with the mkCDrec boot CD,
dramatically improves slow USB device support, and upgrades busybox to
version 1.12.0.

[026] - Mp3splt 0.5 (libmp3splt)
  by Alexandru Ionut Munteanu (http://freshmeat.net/users/ion_bidon/)
  Fri, Sep 5th 2008 22:48



About: mp3splt is a command-line utility that splits  MP3 and Ogg files at
specified times without  decoding and re-encoding. It works with Mp3Wrap 
and AlbumWrap files and has a silence detection split mode and a "cddb
source" mode. Libmp3splt is a library created from mp3splt. Mp3splt-gtk is
a GTK2 GUI that uses libmp3splt.

Changes: A plugin system has been added for audio formats (currently
supports Ogg Vorbis and MP3). STDIN and STDOUT have been implemented (like
in the original mp3splt). Translations of error codes have been moved to
strings in the library. An experimental version of 'mp3splt.log' has been
implemented (like in the original mp3splt). The return codes of many
functions were checked. The option '-o' now creates directories if
necessary. Many bugs have been fixed.

the server and port for freedb search (now using tracktype.org by default).
The original id3v1 MP3 tags are kept in the split files, as are Ogg Vorbis
tags. Add custom tags with the new '-g' option. The '-o' option now creates
the specified directories if the '-d' option is not specified. A '-Q'
option enables the '-q' option and does not print anything to STDOUT. An
'-i' option for counting the number of silence split points.

reference counted objects, memory pools, and smart pointers. UCommon
introduces some new concepts for handling of thread locking and
synchronization.  

Changes: The class framework has been reorganized to remove unnecessary
locking in local heap and keydata managed structures. The fsys class has
been enhanced for streaming media files. There is some refactoring of the
core API, resulting in more complete tree and list classes. Better support
for use as a new system library and an alternative to the ANSI standard C++
library, especially for embedded targets. As a successor library, the
license was updated to the GNU Lesser General Public License version 3 or
later for continuity with GNU Common C++ licensing practices.

  Fri, Sep 5th 2008 20:54

Multimedia :: Graphics
Scientific/Engineering :: Visualization

About: The Visualization ToolKit (VTK) is an object oriented software
system for 3D computer graphics, image processing, and visualization. VTK
includes a textbook, a C++ class library, and several interpreted interface
layers including Tcl/Tk, Java, and Python. VTK supports a wide variety of
visualization algorithms including scalar, vector, tensor, texture, and
volumetric methods. It also supports advanced modeling techniques like
implicit modeling, polygon reduction, mesh smoothing, cutting, contouring,
and Delaunay triangulation. Moreover, dozens of imaging algorithms have
been integrated into the system. This allows mixing 2D imaging / 3D
graphics algorithms and data.

[057] - vitetris 0.50 
  by Victor Nilsson (http://freshmeat.net/users/vervex/)
  Fri, Sep 5th 2008 23:01

Games/Entertainment :: Arcade
Games/Entertainment :: Puzzle Games

About: vitetris is a Tetris clone for the terminal that doesn't need
ncurses. It features configurable keys, a high score table, and 2-player
mode on the same computer or over network. Joysticks/gamepads are supported
on Linux. Gameplay is much like the early Tetris games by Nintendo. 

Changes: This version can be compiled for Windows and DOS, and can use the
Allegro library. Netplay is much more robust. Players receive the same
garbage blocks at the beginning if they have the same height, and a game
can end in a draw. Two infrequent bugs in two-player mode have been fixed.
The menus and command line options have many small improvements and fixes.

Communications
System :: Networking
System :: Operating System

About: WANPIPE S-series is a family of intelligent multi-protocol WAN and
ADSL adapters that support data transfer rates up to 8Mbps. All WAN
protocols supported by WANPIPE are implemented in firmware and run on the
card. An advantage of an intelligent adapter is that it offloads the system
CPU and improves stability. By adding a Sangoma WAN/ADSL component to the
Linux kernel, one can create a powerful multi-T1/ADSL router/firewall with
proven reliability of Linux. Sangoma S-series cards support an optional on
board T1/E1 CSU/DSU that eliminates all external components of a
traditional routing solution: i.e. T1/E1 line can be directly connected to
the card. WANPIPE supports the following protocols, ATM, ADSL, Frame Relay,
PPP, MULTILINK PPP, CHDLC, X25(API), BitStreaming (API), BiSync(API), and
SDLC(API). Furthermore, WANPIPE supports custom API development such as:
Credit card verification, Voice-over IP, Satellite Comm. All device drivers
are part of the standard Linux Kernel distribution. 

Changes: The Excessive Error check that disabled the port has been
removed. Support for new PLX2 and TUNDRA PCIe chips has been added.
