[005] - Cairo 1.7.6
by Moritz Barsnick (http://freshmeat.net/users/barsnick/)
Mon, Sep 22nd 2008 13:14
Software Development :: Libraries
About: Cairo is a vector graphics library with cross-device output
support. It currently supports the X Window System and in-memory image
buffers as output targets. It is designed to produce identical output on
all output media while taking advantage of display hardware acceleration
when available (eg. through the X Render Extension). It provides a
stateful user-level API with capabilities similar to the PDF 1.4 imaging
model and provides operations including stroking and filling Bezier cubic
splines, transforming and compositing translucent images, and antialiased
text rendering.

[006] - Chiron 1
by rodney (http://freshmeat.net/users/rodn3y/)
Mon, Sep 22nd 2008 00:22
Communications :: Chat :: Internet Relay Chat
About: Chiron was written to demonstrate that you could embed special
tokens in an infobots fact file so that recalling/matching a fact causes
novel/interesting and hopefully useful behaviour. The 'tokens' gradually
gained functionality, and now the factoids themselves are fully
programmable. A tracing feature is used to automatically follow
instructions, generate the code, and then learn it as a fact. There are
many other features, including a hooking system for plugging multiple
backend engines in to process what it sees, etc. The current problem with
the program is the lack of documentation.

[018] - extract_url.pl 1.3.3
by memoryhole (http://freshmeat.net/users/memoryhole/)
Mon, Sep 22nd 2008 17:03
Communications :: Email
About: extract_url.pl is a Perl script that extracts URLs from either
correctly-encoded MIME email messages or from plain text. It can be used
either as a pre-parser for a URL selector (such as urlview), or as a
standalone URL selector. It is very configurable, can handle URLs that have
been broken over several lines in format=flowed delsp=yes email messages,
and eliminates duplicate URLs. It was designed primarily for use with Mutt,
but can be used by for any similar purpose. The idea is that if you want to
access a URL in an email, you pipe the email to a URL extractor (like this
one), which then lets you select a URL to view in some third program (such
as Firefox).
Changes: Sometimes, multipart/alternative parts don't actually have an
alternative, which could confuse the script. They're now handled correctly,
and MIME parsing has been made more robust.

Mon, Sep 22nd 2008 20:54
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: CD Audio
Multimedia :: Video
Software Development :: Libraries
About: The GNU Compact Disc Input and Control library encapsulates CD-ROM
reading and control for applications wishing to be oblivious to the OS- and
device-dependent properties of a CD-ROM. It provides an API for access to
SCSI-MMC (multimedia commands) and support for CD image types like BIN/CUE,
cdrdao's TOC, and Nero's NRG, which gives applications using the library
the ability to read disc images as though they were CDs. ISO-9660
filesystem support is included, as are utility programs for displaying CD
and CD-ROM drive information, reading the blocks of a CD, and extracting
files from an ISO-9660 filesytem image. cdparanoia is also included.
Changes: This release changes the license to the GPLv3 and makes "make
install" work.

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: The main toolbar buttons have been rearranged for a more
productive and intuitive location. The "Hima" main process execution
routine was improved. Binaries are now run from their absolute path. The
options to "Save Pages" were fixed.

Mon, Sep 22nd 2008 13:18
Multimedia
Software Development :: Libraries
About: Kate is a codec for karaoke and text encapsulation for Ogg. Most of
the time, this would be multiplexed with audio/video to carry subtitles,
song lyrics (with or without karaoke data), etc, but it doesn't have to be.
A possible use of a lone Kate stream would be an e-book. Moreover, the
motion feature gives Kate a powerful means to describe arbitrary curves, so
hand drawing of shapes can be achieved. This was originally meant for
karaoke use, but can be used for any purpose. Motions can be attached to
various semantics, like position or color, so scrolling or fading text can
be defined.
Changes: bitstream 0.4 is used. Glyph pointers and markers can now have a
custom animated image. Bitmaps now have a logical position (x/y offset).
Height control was improved for karaoke use of the glyph pointer. Karaoke
timing information is now extracted from enhanced lrc files. Line width can
now be controlled (via a motion). A text wrapping property was added to
style. Comments are now validated against Vorbis comment rules. More
validity checks were added in the encoder and API.

About: Moonbeam provides a simple way to keep track of all your bookmarks
in a central location, instead of being attached to whichever browser
you're currently using. Its advantage over services like del.icio.us is
that the data is kept on your server. Additionally, each bookmark can be
assigned an arbitrary number of metatags, so Web sites that don't fit
neatly into one category can be given all the tags that apply, which also
makes finding them easier.

Mon, Sep 22nd 2008 13:54
System :: Logging
System :: Monitoring
About: phpLogCon is a Web front-end for syslog and other network event
data. It provides easy browsing and some basic analysis. Data are taken
from databases or plain syslog text files, so phpLogCon does not require
changes to an existing logging infrastructure. Depending on the log data
present, it can process syslog messages, Windows event log entries, and
some more exotic things. Its troubleshooting support enables users to
quickly find solutions to problems seen in the log data.
Changes: Support was implemented for analyzing Webserver logfiles from
Apache and Microsoft IIS. There is a collection of new fields available,
and filtering is possible. In order to read Apache or IIS logfiles, you
need to use the "iis" or "apache2" message parser in your disk sources. A
new page called "asktheoracle.php" was added, which will be automatically
linked on IP addresses and domain names. It is a simple helper page which
creates a bunch of useful filter links. Some basic documentation was added
into the doc folder.

Mon, Sep 22nd 2008 16:57
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
Text Processing :: Markup :: XML
Text Processing :: Markup :: XSL/XSLT
About: Pustefix is a Web application framework that features an
XML/XSLT-based view generation and a clean MVC architecture of the backend
system. The frontend can be built with the help of XSLT templates and can
include parts containing HTML or XML code that is transformed, creating the
final HTML output. The backend allows for the creation of reusable handler
classes, which can be aggregated into complete pages. These handlers get
their input in the form of real Java objects that are already assembled and
checked against user defined rules by the framework.
Changes: This release enhances the Spring support by providing a
Spring-compatible implementation of the JMX beans and Spring-managed
context interceptors. The page flow mechanism is pluggable now, allowing
developers to use their own page flow engine. Handling of XSLT errors has
been improved by providing the user with information about the origin of
the error instead of just a generic exception message.

About: Ruby/AWS is a high-level Ruby language interface to the Amazon
Associates Web Service API v4. It aims to automate and remove the grunt
work of interacting with the Amazon API and, in so doing, make it much
easier to use. Ruby/AWS is the successor to Ruby/Amazon.
Changes: $AMAZONRCDIR is now searched for .amazonrc before $HOME and the
other directories. There is a new top-level class of exception for
Ruby/AWS, Amazon::AmazonError. Most non-operational exceptions are now
immediate subclasses of AmazonError. Amazon::AWS::Error::AWSError was
previously a class that generated exceptions, but it's now simply a
container class derived from AmazonError. All operational exceptions (the
ones whose class is dynamically created when AWS returns an error) are now
subclasses of AWSError.

Database
Database :: Front-Ends
About: SchemaSpy is a Java-based tool that analyzes the metadata of a
schema in a database and generates a visual representation of it in a
browser-displayable format. It lets you click through the hierarchy of
database tables via child and parent table relationships as represented by
both HTML links and entity-relationship diagrams. It's also designed to
help resolve the obtuse errors that a database sometimes gives related to
failures due to constraints.
Changes: Many additional metadata settings can now be specified via XML.
The compact view of the relationships page now hides non-PK/non-indexed
columns to reduce clutter and clarify the relationships. jQuery is now used
for DOM manipulation. Support has been added for Derby (JavaDB) databases,
both embedded and network, along with SQL Server with the jTDS driver, SQL
Server 2005, and MaxDB. A new option for evaluating multiples with
databases like MySQL where a database isn't composed of multiple schemas.
Significantly improved performance of generation of entity-relationship
diagrams. Many additional bugs were fixed.

activate partitions, boot partitions, boot MBRs, boot your former OS (Linux
or another one) by loading menu.lst from your hard disk, automatically
restore Grub on your MBR, swap hard disks in the BIOS, and boot from any
available disk device. It has multi-language support, and allows you to
change the keyboard layout of your shell.
Changes: The "Boot Linux" option has been improved so that not only
menu.lst files but also menu.lst* files can be run. The "Boot Linux
Directly" option has been improved so that, in the basic menu, the kernel
and initrd are automatically selected. The "Boot Linux Directly" option has
been improved so that, in the advanced menu, the kernel and initrd are
manually selected. A new support menu has been added with options to
support rules, to show hard disks' partition layouts, to show fstab file
contents, and to show menu.lst file contents.
