  by swivel (http://freshmeat.net/users/swivel/)
  Sun, Sep 21st 2008 17:27

Internet :: WWW/HTTP
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: HTTP Servers

About: Httpx takes over the front-line position of binding and listening
on the public address and port of your virtual Web hosting server. In this
role, it scans incoming requests looking for the HTTP/1.1 Host: request
header entity. Once the Host: value is found for a given request, it is
routed to a UNIX domain socket in the local file system located through a
database lookup. Over this UNIX domain socket, an inter-process descriptor
pass occurs to a Web server modified slightly to receive TCP passed socket
descriptors over a UNIX domain socket instead of binding, listening for,
and accepting TCP sockets. This allows vhosts to share an IP address while
having private, host-specific, potentially unique httpd contexts.

[023] - Imaginary Microcomputers R4 
  by Dr. Java (http://freshmeat.net/users/drjava/)
  Sun, Sep 21st 2008 04:52

Software Development

Multimedia
Software Development :: Libraries
Text Processing :: Markup :: XML

About: libSpiff is a C++ library for reading and writing XSPF playlists.
Both version 0 and 1 are supported. It is the official reference
implementation for XSPF of the Xiph.Org Foundation.

Changes: Besides bugfixes and cleanups, this release mainly features a
redesigned XSPF writing API and malicious XML detection à la billion
laughs. The writing API in previous releases was unnecessarily ugly; it
should be better now. Malicious XML detection should be of greatest
interest to people using libSpiff in Web services. More about its internals
and configuration can be found in the API documentation.

[025] - Linux Bluetooth Remote Control 0.6.3 
  by Matthias Bläsing (http://freshmeat.net/users/matthiasblaesing/)
  Sun, Sep 21st 2008 08:02



About: Linux Bluetooth Remote Control (LBRC) is a remote control program
that allows a Linux computer to be controlled by a J2ME device via
Bluetooth. It is divided into a server part that runs on the computer and
reacts to input events and a client part that runs on the J2ME device. The
J2ME client sends the device's keycodes, which are translated to
keystrokes, mouse movements, mouse clicks, or other input events on the
controlled computer. 

Changes: Errors were fixed in DBUSCaller and CommandExecutor. Some code
cleanups were done. A module was added to provide a way to inject key/mouse
events into an X11 session (without involving the kernel). The J2ME client
was built smaller. A list of already known devices is presented without
scanning. The device search was made more robust.

provide a similar tool, LiquiBase aims to provide a solution that supports
merging of changes from multiple developers, works well with code branches,
supports a database refactoring IDE/plugin, and more.

Changes: Improvements to preconditions (onFail and onError controls,
several new precondition checks, and custom preconditions can be passed
parameters). SQLite support. Context checking is now case-insensitive.
Specifying a column as autoincrement for a non-autoincrement table does not
cause an error. The end delimiter can be specified with SQL changes.
Indexes can be created as unique. Required attributes for all changes are
checked before execution. Command line migrator return codes are better.
There are many more bugfixes.

[028] - Locked Area 6.3 (Lite)
  by Neil Skirrow (http://freshmeat.net/users/skirrow/)
  Sun, Sep 21st 2008 05:32

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management

About: Locked Area is a highly sophisticated password protection and
membership management system. It has been designed to be as secure as
possible while it still runs hands-free with no input from the Webmaster
needed. Locked Area uses Apache's .htaccess and .htpasswd along with DES
randomized salt or MD5 encryption of passwords for increased security. It
also includes a member database that lets the administrator maintain a
mailing list along with the member's area. 

Changes: This release resolves further issues with the MySQL database
mode. It is considered more stable than the 6.0 stable release.

Text Processing
Text Processing :: Linguistic
Utilities

About: Msort sorts files in sophisticated ways. Records may be fixed size,
newline-separated blocks, or terminated by any specified character. Key
fields may be selected by position, tag, or character range. For each key,
distinct exclusions, multigraphs, substitutions, and a sort order may be
defined or locale collation rules used. Comparisons may be lexicographic,
numeric, numeric string, hybrid, random, by string length, angle, domain
name, date, time, month name, or ISO8601 timestamp. Keys may be reversed so
as to generate reverse dictionaries. Optional keys are supported. Unicode
is supported, including full case-folding. Msort itself has a somewhat
complex command line interface, but may be driven by an optional GUI. 

Changes: This release updates case-folding to Unicode 5.1 and fixes
several bugs in the handling of time and date keys. It adds the option of
sorting only on the first character for those who wish to emulate
pre-modern alphabetization. A test suite may now be executed at build time.
A number of sort order definitions are now provided. All non-standard
configure options are now explained in the README file.

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
indexing and search facilities offered by Xapian, features language
detection, dynamic document summaries, easy labelling of documents, and
internal support for common file types. The D-Bus interface allows easy
integration with other applications. 

Changes: Indexing and searching are now diacritics insensitive by default
thanks to Unac. There's support for the removal of stopwords at query time.
Short queries get better abstracts. Indexing of plain text and XML files
and the use of boolean operators in spelling suggestions, both broken in
0.88, were fixed. Queries are de-hyphenated on line breaks. Spelling
suggestions don't suggest the same thing over and over again. The
Simplified Chinese and Brazilian Portuguese translation have been updated.

System

About: radlib is a C language library developed to abstract details of
interprocess communications and common Linux/Unix system facilities so that
application developers can concentrate on application solutions. It
encourages developers to use a proven paradigm of event-driven,
asynchronous design. By abstracting interprocess messaging, events, timers,
and any I/O device that can be represented as a file descriptor, radlib
simplifies the implementation of multi-purpose processes, as well as
multi-process applications. In short, radlib is a sincere attempt to
provide real-time OS capability on a non-real-time OS. 

Changes: This release adds SQLite3 support. The interface is very similar
to the MySQL/PostgreSQL interface. It is enabled at configuration via the
"--enable-sqlite" option. It may be built along with MySQL or PostgreSQL
(it is not mutually exclusive).

System :: Archiving

About: The file renaming utilities (renameutils for short) are a set of
programs designed to make renaming of files faster and less cumbersome. qmv
("quick move") allows file names to be edited in a text editor. The names
of all files in a directory are written to a text file, which is then
edited by the user. The text file is read and parsed, and the changes are
applied to the files. qcp copies files instead of renaming them. imv
("interactive move"), is trivial but useful when you are too lazy to type
(or even complete) the name of the file to rename twice. It allows a file
name to be edited in the terminal using the GNU Readline library.
Similarly, icp copies files instead of renaming them.

  Sun, Sep 21st 2008 23:45

Software Development :: Compilers
Software Development :: Interpreters

About: Seed7 is a general purpose programming language. It is a higher
level language compared to Ada, C++, and Java. In Seed7, new statements and
operators can be declared easily. Functions with type results and type
parameters are more elegant than a template or generics concept. Object
orientation is used when it brings advantages and not in places when other
solutions are more obvious. Although Seed7 contains several concepts of
other programming languages, it is generally not considered as a direct
descendant of any other programming language. 

Changes: The chapters about object orientation and primitive actions in
the manual were improved. The bas7.sd7 (basic interpreter) example program
was improved. The compiler (comp.sd7) was improved to support several new
primitive actions and HASHOBJECT constants. A binary gcd function was added
to the gcd.sd7 example program. The X11 keyboard driver was improved to
support the num-lock functionality. The functions hash_data_to_list and
hash_key_to_list were added to the file listutl.c . The functions
matchExpr, setVar, hash_data_to_list, and hash_key_to_list were added to
the progs.s7i library.

Software Development :: Compilers

About: Shed Skin is an experimental Python-to-C++ compiler. It accepts
pure but implicitly statically typed Python programs and generates
optimized C++ code. The result can be further compiled to stand-alone
programs or extension modules. For a set of 16 non-trivial test programs,
measurements show a typical speedup of 2-40 over Psyco, about 10 on
average, and 2-220 over CPython, about 35 on average. Not all Python
features are supported, and only a subset of about 17 library modules, such
as re and random.

Changes: datetime and ConfigParser support. staticmethod and property
decorators. FreeBSD, OpenSolaris, and 64-bit support. GCC 4.3 fixes.
Support for mapping keys ('%(key)x..' % some_dict). Improvements to the
import mechanism. __init__ is much less of a special case now. Many fixes
for calling ancestor methods (e.g. Parent.__init__). All example programs
now compile as extension modules. There are many bugfixes.

Internet :: Proxy Servers
Security :: Cryptography
System :: Networking

About: The stunnel program is designed to work as an SSL encryption
wrapper between remote client and local (inetd-startable) or remote server.
It can be used to add SSL functionality to commonly used inetd daemons like
POP2, POP3, and IMAP servers without any changes in the programs' code. It
will negotiate an SSL connection using the OpenSSL or SSLeay libraries. It
calls the underlying crypto libraries, so stunnel supports whatever
cryptographic algorithms you compiled into your crypto package.

Changes: Win32 DLLs have been updated to OpenSSL 0.9.8i. /etc/hosts.allow
and /etc/hosts.deny no longer need to be copied to the chrooted directory,
as the libwrap processes are no longer chrooted. A more informative error
message is logged for invalid port number specified in the stunnel.conf
file. Support for Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 Express Edition was added. All
libwrap processes are killed at stunnel shutdown. A minor bug in the
stunnel.init sample SysV startup file was fixed.

[061] - Virtual Ideal Functionality Framework 0.7 
  by Martin Geisler (http://freshmeat.net/users/mgeisler/)
  Sun, Sep 21st 2008 13:17

Communications
Scientific/Engineering :: Mathematics
Security :: Cryptography

About: Virtual Ideal Functionality Framework is a framework for creating
efficient and secure multi-party computations (SMPC). Players, who do not
trust each other, participate in a joint computation based on their private
inputs. The computation is done using a cryptographic protocol which allows
them to obtain a correct answer without revealing their inputs. Operations
supported include addition, multiplication, and comparison, all with Shamir
secret shared outputs.

Changes: PyOpenSSL is now used instead of GnuTLS and this enables secure
connections on Windows. The code dealing with starting a player has been
made much more robust and players can now be started in any order. A player
can now also be reliably shutdown. A new runtime based on homomorphic
Paillier encryption supports just two players. A new protocol for equality
testing with secret shared result was added.

[062] - xorriso 0.2.6 
  by scdbackup (http://freshmeat.net/users/scdbackup/)
  Sun, Sep 21st 2008 04:51

System :: Archiving :: Backup
System :: Filesystems

About: xorriso creates, loads, manipulates, and writes ISO 9660 filesystem
images with Rock Ridge extensions. It can load the management information
of existing ISO images, and it writes the session results to optical media
or to filesystem objects. This is the standalone version that incorporates
the libraries of libburnia-project.org and thus depends only on Linux 2.4
(or later), libc, and libpthread. No separate mkisofs and no CD/DVD burn
program are needed.

Changes: This release can record very large data files (ISO 9660 Level 3)
and helps with extracting them if an older Linux kernel is unable to read
them properly.
