[014] - Himerge 0.30
by Luis Araujo (http://freshmeat.net/users/LuisAraujo/)
Thu, Sep 18th 2008 20:23

System :: Operating System :: Linux Distributions

About: Himerge is a GUI for emerge (Gentoo's Portage system) written in
Haskell using gtk2hs. The main idea is to simplify browsing the entire
portage tree, and allow running the most basic and common options from the
emerge command. It also offers several handy tools, like global and local
use flags browsers, inspired by UFED (the Gentoo Linux USE flags editor).
It also uses eix (a small utility for searching ebuilds with indexing for
fast results) as a back-end command to show package information in HTML/CSS
format, so you can access a package's Web site for a quick glance.

Changes: Run privileged operations as a normal (authenticated) user.
Command line arguments support added. Choose your favorite Web browser to
open Web pages using the '--webrowser' command line flag. Choose a
different default repository from the command line with the new flag
'--repo'. A more precise and stable way of killing processes has been
added. There is cleaner and more stable code during file-system path
resolution. Now the 'emerge' operations omit the EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS
variable, avoiding any communication error between Himerge and such
operations.

Thu, Sep 18th 2008 21:08

Scientific/Engineering
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries
System :: Clustering/Distributed Networks

About: JPPF is a computational grid framework for Java focused on
performance and ease of use. It provides a set of tools and APIs to enable
the parallelization of CPU intensive applications, and distribute their
execution over a network of heterogenous nodes. It features platform
independence thanks to Java 1.5, does not require you to deploy your
application classes to a server, scales up to millions of nodes, has a
built-in fail-over mechanism on all the framework's components, and has a
monitoring and administration GUI tool to enable remote monitoring of the
server health and server shutdown/restart operations.

Changes: Tasks can now be defined from existing code using annotations. A
new, simplified API for defining and submitting tasks was implemented. The
amount of logging on disconnection events from the server was reduced to a
manageable level. Multiple bugs were fixed that prevented the nodes from
running as services. Multiple fixes were made to the JPPF screensaver.

[022] - libburnia 0.6.8 (libisofs)
by scdbackup (http://freshmeat.net/users/scdbackup/)
Thu, Sep 18th 2008 20:39

Software Development :: Libraries

About: libburnia is a project comprised of libraries and binaries for
reading, mastering, and writing optical discs. It provides libburn, a
CD/DVD/BD burn library, libisofs, a manipulation library for ISO 9660
filesystems, and libisoburn, a ISO 9660 multi-session library. On top of
them there is cdrskin, a cdrecord emulator, and xorriso, a all-in-one
application for ISO 9660 multi-session operations which additionaly
provides a limited emulation of mkisofs.

Changes: Support for ISO 9660 Level 3 was added to libisofs. This allows
very large data files in the ISO image. Note that only quite modern Linux
systems can read those files properly from mounted ISO 9660 images.
libisofs provides its own read capabilities that work reliably on all
supported systems.

[025] - Logger 08262.1341
by BpMatthias (http://freshmeat.net/users/BpMatthias/)
Thu, Sep 18th 2008 21:02

System :: Logging
System :: Systems Administration
Utilities

About: Logger is a log queueing and optimization utility. It can
completely replace sys/klogd, handle logs larger than 2GB, perform
automatic nightly log rotation without affecting services, and transfer
logs between machines via TCP connections. Any application that writes a
text log can be maintained by Logger. It is light, small, and fast,
emphasizes security, and reduces drive usage through memory queueing.

Changes: A critical bugfix to add a time wait feature for polling downed
Logger servers. This prevents possible denial of service of the polling
system. This also prevents all TCP sockets on the pollibf system from being
consumed by the polling system.

[041] - sawfish 1.3.4 (Experimental)
by Janek Kozicki (http://freshmeat.net/users/cosurgi/)
Thu, Sep 18th 2008 15:22

Desktop Environment :: Window Managers :: Sawfish

About: Sawfish (the window manager formerly known as Sawmill) is an
extensible window manager using a Lisp-based extension language. All window
decorations are configurable and all user-interface policy is controlled
through the language. Its aim is to manage windows in the most flexible and
attractive manner possible. As such it does not implement desktop
backgrounds, application docks, or other things that may be achieved
through separate applications. Sawfish is mostly GNOME-compliant; almost
all configuration may be made through a graphical interface.

Changes: A new error handler was added. Many hidden options were
re-exposed in the configurator, like window animation options, tooltips
options, window movement outline modes, and edge-flip delay. A new hook
after raise/lower window has been added with the intention of using it for
tabbed-windowing. An option for smooth animation when changing viewports
was added. An option allowing you to warp the mouse pointer to windows
while cycling them was added. An option was added to move the mouse cursor
to the active window when it is unmaximized, to prevent it from losing
focus.

each game plays out differently. The intention is to release the base game
for free, and create expansion packs for sale.

Changes: This release adds nebulae and a fuel limit, and has new
encounters and many bugfixes.

[045] - SportsTracker 3.5.0
by ssaring (http://freshmeat.net/users/ssaring/)
Thu, Sep 18th 2008 21:07

Database
Information Management :: Records Management

About: SportsTracker is an application for recording sporting activities.
It is not bound to a specific kind of sport, as categories can be created
for all sport types, such as cycling, running, or tennis. The main
advantages are the good overview of your exercises and the easy creation of
exercise statistics for specific time ranges and sport types. Users of
heart rate monitors (Polar and CicloSport) can import, display (including
diagrams), and organize the recorded exercise data.

Changes: A redesigned application structure; dependency injection is done
by Guice now. So there are far fewer dependencies and all components are
testable now. This release can finally print both the calendar and list
view. The user can specify the data directory, so SportsTracker can be
installed on USB sticks and used on any available computer with a Java
runtime. PolarViewer is able to display Polar F11 exercise files, and the
F6 parser has been improved too.

[046] - sshguard 1.2
by Mij (http://freshmeat.net/users/mijio/)
Thu, Sep 18th 2008 06:06

Security
System :: Monitoring
System :: Networking :: Firewalls

About: Sshguard monitors services through their logging activity. It
reacts to messages about dangerous activity by blocking the source address
with the local firewall. Sshguard employs a clever parser that can
transparently recognize several logging formats at once (syslog, syslog-ng,
metalog, multilog, raw messages), and detects attacks for many services out
of the box, including SSH, several ftpds, and dovecot. It can operate all
the major firewalling systems, and features support for IPv6, whitelisting,
suspension, and log message authentication.

Changes: Support for Cyrus IMAP. Support for SSH "possible break-in
attempt" messages. Updated support for dovecot to include the logging
format of new versions. A fix for the IPF backend causing sshguard to not
update /etc/ipf.rules (disallow IPv6). Detection of passwords when sshd
doesn't log anything more than PAM has been fixed.

timesheet data to other applications.

Changes: This release contains a detailed printable timesheet as well as
several bugfixes, including one bug that in rare circumstances may have
caused timesheets to be calculated incorrectly.
