[004] - BeanKeeper 2.5.0
by Robert (http://freshmeat.net/users/demonofthesystem/)
Thu, Sep 25th 2008 17:44

Database :: API
Software Development :: Libraries :: Java Libraries

About: BeanKeeper (formerly Simple Persistence for Java) is a full
featured, powerful object/relational persistence and query library. It has
a unique philosophy of simpleness and ease of use: it does not require
config files, annotations, code generation, code "enhancing", or any kind
of tools to be used. It handles simple Java beans (or POJOs) and its query
service returns lists. Despite its simpleness, under the hood the library
takes care of all the necessary logic: transaction visibility, result list
paging, keys and ids, table creation/modification, class relations,
inheritance/polymorphism, case sensitiveness, and much more. It currently
supports: Oracle, HSQLDB, MySQL, and PostgreSQL.

Changes: The main "ids" table was removed completely, which caused a
significant performance gain. A commit tracker and modification tracker
deadlock condition has been fixed. Remote change events and disconnect
events were added to event dispatching. Null value comparisons and SQL
three-value logic related issues were fixed.

[009] - datapacker 1.0.1
by John Goerzen (http://freshmeat.net/users/jgoerzen/)
Thu, Sep 25th 2008 17:44

Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: CD Audio :: CD Writing
System :: Archiving
Utilities

About: datapacker is a tool to group files by size such that they fill
fixed-size containers (called "bins") using the minimum number of
containers. This is useful, for instance, if you want to archive a number
of files to CD or DVD, and want to organize them such that you use the
minimum possible number of CDs or DVDs. In many cases, datapacker executes
almost instantaneously. Of particular note, the hardlink action can be used
to effectively copy data into bins without having to actually copy the data
at all. datapacker is a tool in the traditional Unix style; it can be used
in pipes and call other tools.

Changes: This release adds the --sort and --deep-links options.

[014] - fsniper 1.3
by Andrew Yates (http://freshmeat.net/users/andrewyates/)
Thu, Sep 25th 2008 04:59

Utilities

About: fsniper is a tool that monitors a given set of directories for new
or modified files. Then, based on the file's type or name, it invokes a
script to be run on that file. Directories are monitored using inotify,
instead of simply continuously polling them for changes. Common uses
include making a single download directory for all things from a Web
browser and having semi-intelligent scripts figure out what to do with
those files. You write the scripts yourself.

Changes: This release adds config validation and new directory and file
substitution strings, changes the logging behavior to append to old logs
instead of overwriting them, and fixes several memory leaks.

Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Dynamic Content :: News/Diary
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: Site Management

About: Movable Type is a powerful, multi-user blogging platform. It's
widely used as a business blogging tool thanks to the ease with which you
can create multiple blog sites. It has a large community and many add-ons

it for your needs rather than starting from scratch. From there, you can
add other blogs fairly easily. This JumpBox is based on the 1.1 JumpBox
Platform and includes a backup system that supports archiving the state of
the JumpBox to NFS, Windows file shares, and Amazon S3.

Changes: Minor improvements and bugfixes. MovableType has been updated to
4.21. MT no longer uses memcached and FastCGI.

Thu, Sep 25th 2008 21:06

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 but extremely hard to reproduce bug has been fixed.
The bug centered around the situation of one or more receivers not
responding, causing the transmission to continue to consume memory until it
segfaulted (exhausted all memory). The decision-making algorithm for this
was rewritten to avoid the problem.

by Gerd Kortemeyer (http://freshmeat.net/users/korte/)
Thu, Sep 25th 2008 17:43

Education
Education :: Computer Aided Instruction (CAI)
Education :: Testing

About: LON-CAPA (The LearningOnline Network with CAPA) is a learning
content and course management system. It offers an underlying shared
content pool from which instructors across departmental and institutional
boundaries can assemble granular learning content for their courses. It has
strong assessment capabilities, both formative (homework and in-class using
wireless PDAs) and summative (online and bubblesheet exams), with a
one-source multiple-target strategy for the content. It offers students
portfolio space in which they can stage materials for submission to
projects, and provides a number of tools for synchronous and asynchronous
student-student and student-faculty communication. LON-CAPA scales well
with number of students, as load-balancing is possible across the whole
network of servers at participating institutions.

Changes: Dynamic plots are again rendered in individualizing homework
problems. Several backward compatibility issues in connection with short
answer problems were fixed. Domain Coordinators are again able to access
assigned co-author roles in other domains (e.g., other schools and
universities). Load balancing is now able to offload from machines running
the HTTP protocol to machines running HTTPS.

[032] - Mesa 7.2
by Moritz Barsnick (http://freshmeat.net/users/barsnick/)
Thu, Sep 25th 2008 17:50

Software Development :: Libraries

About: Mesa is a 3-D graphics library which uses the OpenGL API
(Application Programming Interface). Mesa cannot be called an
implementation of OpenGL since the author did not obtain an OpenGL license
from SGI. Furthermore, Mesa cannot claim OpenGL conformance since the
conformance tests are only available to OpenGL licensees. Despite these
technical/legal terms, you may find Mesa to be a valid alternative to
OpenGL. Most applications written for OpenGL can use Mesa instead without
changing the source code.

Changes: The OpenGL 2.1 API is now implemented, though some drivers don't
support it yet. Support for the Intel G41 chipset was added. Several bugs
were fixed.

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 fixes several bugs and makes some improvements in
configuration and installation.

stand-alone or be integrated with a mail client like Mutt.

Changes: This release adds further indexing speedups (especially on
ext3-file systems). Also, one can now search for relative dates (e.g. '3w'
for 'three weeks ago'); search for message properties such as
has-attachment/signed/encrypted; and search for message priority. In
addition, one can now define bookmarks for search queries. The
documentation has been updated, and unit test coverage has been improved.
Last but not least, the Web page has been redesigned.

[035] - MyConnection Server 8.1c
by Visualware Inc. (http://freshmeat.net/users/trish/)
Thu, Sep 25th 2008 17:40

Communications :: Telephony
Internet
System :: Diagnostics

About: MyConnection Server is broadband testing software which measures
connections for bandwidth speeds and connection quality for time critical
applications such as VoIP, Video conferencing, and IPTV. It helps
organizations assess networks for deployment of new/additional services and
identify and resolve last mile customer connectivity problems with little
need for the customer to assist in the resolution process. A network route
testing component details the path of the connections and where packet loss
and latency occur, including discovery of multiple routes to a destination.
Remote Test Agents enable technical staff to customize and interactively
manage the bandwidth testing process and perform extended quality testing
over hours or days to address and resolve intermittent problems as
required. Satellite Servers establish additional connection testing points
at the application edge to accurately test actual application network
paths.

Changes: A throttling option was added for Remote Agents to enforce delay
between test start times, and a problem with MyIPTV port swapping was
fixed.

[038] - OOPMH! 1.0
by Antti J. Salminen (http://freshmeat.net/users/slux/)
Thu, Sep 25th 2008 11:09

About: OOPMH! is a OAI-PMH 2.0 data provider designed to be easily
adaptable to any database schema. OOPMH! is based on phpoai2 by Heinrich
Stamerjohanns, but the majority of the code was rewritten to be easier to
adapt when the Dublin Core fields aren't all together in a single database
table. The database code is abstracted away from the OAI-PMH methods. While
the current queries have only been tested on Firebird, they should only
require very little modification to work on other SQL RDBMSs.

Changes: The major parts of the original phpoai2 codebase were rewritten.
