[001] - Agilefant 1.5
by Agilefant Dev Team (http://freshmeat.net/users/agilefant_dev_team/)
Fri, Sep 19th 2008 14:31

Information Management :: Issue Tracking
Office/Business :: Scheduling
Software Development :: Bug Tracking

About: Agilefant is a backlog management system that can be used when
spreadsheets and most of the current issue tracking and project management
systems meet their limits. It is intended to be used with agile
methodologies that emphasize building releasable software in short, fixed
time periods, where features are commonly managed using "backlogs".

Changes: This release adds backlog management (to manage your development
work with backlogs), product management (grouping backlog items with themes
to help you create product roadmaps effectively), project management (to
communicate and monitor the status of your project), iteration management
(to focus team efforts with iteration goals and get an overview of progress
through burndown graphs and metrics), development portfolio management (to
monitor and manage all your projects), a daily work view (to evaluate and
manage your personal work load), and timesheets (to log spent effort to
projects and backlog items and generate reports).

examples provided by Amazon.

Changes: The current 2007-11-07 REST API is currently implemented. This
includes the EVERY Action, correct HTTP error responses (as per the
technical documentation), and a large suite of tests created from the
examples provided in the technical documentation. The SOAP API,
authentication (signature value checking), timestamp format and expiration
checking, and HTTPS are currently not implemented.

automatically removed from call groups. Call groups with no members no
longer break dialplan. The busy/call limit documentation has been fixed.
The "invalid input" state of SIP/IAX provider/phone account pages no longer
results in the selected codecs being reset to defaults. SQLite CDRs now
store year information.

[039] - strongSwan 4.2.7
by Andreas Steffen (http://freshmeat.net/users/asteffen/)
Fri, Sep 19th 2008 03:44

Security
Security :: Cryptography
System :: Networking

About: strongSwan is a complete IPsec and IKEv1 implementation for Linux
2.4 and 2.6 kernels. It also fully supports the new IKEv2 protocol with
Linux 2.6 kernels. It interoperates in both IKEv1 and IKEv2 mode with most
other IPsec-based VPN products. The focus of the strongSwan project is on
strong authentication mechanisms using X.509 public key certificates and
optional secure storage of private keys on smartcards through a
standardized PKCS#11 interface. A unique feature is the use of X.509
attribute certificates to implement advanced access control schemes based
on group memberships.

Changes: This release fixes a denial of service vulnerability where an
IKE_SA_INIT message with a Diffie-Hellman KE payload containing zeroes only
could cause a crash of the IKEv2 charon daemon due to a NULL pointer
returned by the mpz_export() function of the GNU Multi-Precision (GMP)
library.

[041] - Tofu 2.3
by Seb (http://freshmeat.net/users/sb_mushroom/)
Fri, Sep 19th 2008 17:38

Office/Business :: Scheduling
Software Development
Utilities

About: Tofu provides an easy and very lightweight way to manage your todo
list(s). It stores each of your todo lists in a directory where tasks are
individually detailed as plain text files. Then you can assign these tasks
a level of priority and some markers to retrieve and manipulate (list,
view, edit, delete, etc.) them easily.

Changes: A new "move=stack" action was added, which allows one to move
tasks from the current stack to another one. Because it made things more
complex to code and very rigid to use, support for the 'markers' file was
removed. However, it seems there were very few interesting applications of
this functionality.

AMAT for AIG in testing scripts due to recent market events, validates the
