by tpoindex (http://freshmeat.net/users/tpoindex/)
Wed, Sep 24th 2008 17:14
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Software Development :: User Interfaces
About: Aejaks is a windowing toolkit for rapid development of AJAX-enabled
Web applications. It combines the powerful simplicity of the Tcl language
with the Java-based Echo2 browser-independent windowing system. Aejaks
applications are written in a single scripting language, without need to
write any HTML, Javascript, or CSS. It borrows from the Tk windowing
system, but is not directly compatible with Tk. It runs on top of any Java
Web server, and can make use of any existing Java library.
Changes: A bug that prevented the MrPersister database package from
working in Java 1.6 was fixed. PersistenceManager and JdbcDao objects were
also fixed.

Office/Business
About: Affiliates For All is an affiliate management system written for
the Magento shopping cart. It will track the amount of money you owe your
affiliates and makes payment simple. Your affiliates will also be able to
register online, change their details, and see sales statistics.
Changes: This is the first beta release and it is intended to be feature
complete. When an order changes state, an email can optionally be sent to
the system administrator and the affiliate concerned. Affiliates can
include data with their links. This data will be saved in the database,
allowing affiliates to see which clicks converted into orders. AfA can now
display the name of your affiliate program, rather than "Affiliates for
All".

Software Development :: Compilers
Software Development :: Interpreters
About: Chicken is a Scheme compiler that translates most of R5RS Scheme
into relatively portable C. It supports fully general tail-call recursion,
first-class continuations, and has a very flexible and efficient interface
to C and C++. Chicken implements several extensions to the Scheme language:
lightweight threads, pattern matching macros, dynamic loading of compiled
code, and various object-oriented paradigms, such as TinyCLOS, Meroon,
Prometheus, and others. The library system includes hundreds of convenient
modules for practical use.
Changes: The compiler now supports selective procedure profiling. All
file-related procedures have been moved to new unit files. There have been
numerous fixes to the Cygwin and MinGW builds. PCRE bundled with Chicken
has been updated.

that it knows. In addition to this, it does not contain cross site
scripting vulnerabilities or allow arbitrary code to be run on the host.
It provides adequate information in the headers it sends to trace
spammers, can check the validity of all data before sending emails, and
features a customizable interface that allows for arbitrary fields.
Changes: The ability to use CAPTCHA for spam prevention and an external
XML file configuration option were added.

Software Development :: Libraries
System :: Operating System
About: Curie is a very minimalistic, tiny C library. It supports basic
I/O, basic networking, S-expression based I/O, signal handling, process
handling, and I/O multiplexing. If the target architecture is explicitly
supported, statically linked binaries may be as small as 4-20 kilobytes; if
not, then it only relies on the host's C library. The library explicitly
does not provide a POSIX interface so that it may be used in conjunction
with a regular host libc (or without one).

database. Also, the unit tests now compile with gcc 4.3.x and glibc 2.8.
The C++ API has a new function to assign keys with a template parameter.
The ./configure script has a new option, --enable-system-zlib, to link
against -lz instead of the zlib version which is provided with hamsterdb.
Finally, the tutorial has a new chapter about Transaction support.
