About: Deliantra is a client for Deliantra game servers. It offers an
intuitive user interface for exploring the vast game world, a persistent
minimap, powerful macros and keymaps, dialog-based NPC interaction, and
easy configuration for the skill, spell, and item system. It is based on

underway.
Changes: A race condition has been fixed that could lead to client freezes
or crashes on login, especially on slower systems. The smooth movement is
no longer choppy. The default font for messages is now a (hopefully nicer
looking) proportional font. Text display has been tweaked. The client no
longer makes unnecessary screen refreshes, and uses less CPU time.

[010] - GNU ddrescue 1.9-rc1 (Development)
by Antonio Diaz Diaz (http://freshmeat.net/users/ant_diaz/)
Tue, Sep 30th 2008 14:21
System :: Recovery Tools
About: GNU ddrescue is a data recovery tool. It copies data from one file
or block device (hard disc, cdrom, etc) to another, trying hard to rescue
data in case of read errors. GNU ddrescue does not truncate the output file
if not asked to. So, every time you run it on the same output file, it
tries to fill in the gaps. The basic operation of GNU ddrescue is fully
automatic. That is, you don't have to wait for an error, stop the program,
read the log, run it in reverse mode, etc. If you use the logfile feature
of GNU ddrescue, the data is rescued very efficiently (only the needed
blocks are read). Also you can interrupt the rescue at any time and resume
it later at the same point.
Changes: Verbosity control of user messages has been simplified.

XHTML capable browsers (e.g., Firefox). Compiled slide files can be used to
play the slides without HopSlide.
Changes: In addition to fixing many small glitches of previous releases,
this release improve the system in many directions. The static compilation
that generates standalone XHTML files produces much smaller output files. A
system of plugins has been added that lets users add applets to their slide
shows (such as clocks or slide-dependent animations).

by swivel (http://freshmeat.net/users/swivel/)
Tue, Sep 30th 2008 13:47
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.
Changes: This release adds dynamic growth of the request buffer for
handling larger requests. Httpx request handling is now limited only by the
socket layer receive buffer size.

location of IP addresses and Web servers, showing the path of an Internet
connection on a global map. The domain registration and network provider
contact information are reported for each hop of a network route for quick
problem reporting. Remote Agents enable two-way connection testing and
automated testing from remote locations, for on-demand testing to resolve a
customer problem or long-term continuous testing to build a baseline and
monitor connection performance.
Changes: A throttling option to enforce delay between test start times has
been added for Remote Agents.

[031] - Shoebot 0.1
by ricardo lafuente (http://freshmeat.net/users/rlafuente/)
Tue, Sep 30th 2008 18:01
Artistic Software
Multimedia :: Graphics :: Editors :: Vector-Based
Software Development :: Libraries :: Python Modules
About: Shoebot is a pure Python graphics robot: it takes a Python script
as input, which describes a drawing process, and outputs a graphic in a
common open standard format (SVG, PDF, PostScript, or PNG). It has a simple
text editor GUI, and scripts can describe their own GUIs for controlling
variables interactively. Being pure Python, it can also be used as a Python
module, a plugin for Python-scriptable tools such as Inkscape, and run from
the command line. It was directly inspired by DrawBot and Shoes. Thus,
"Shoebot."
Changes: The project has been renamed to "Shoebot" and the version number
reset; it's moving out of the prototype phase and into proper releases. It
now features a stable IDE for simple tinkering, and supports GUI variable
control in the style of Drawbot and Nodebox. It is accessible via socket
connections, allowing for image control through external applications (e.g.
Pure Data). it has better documentation and many new example scripts.

[032] - Social Networks Visualiser 0.48
by Dimitris V. Kalamaras (http://freshmeat.net/users/oxy86/)
Tue, Sep 30th 2008 14:21
Scientific/Engineering :: Mathematics
Scientific/Engineering :: Visualization
About: Social Networks Visualiser (SocNetV) imports and exports various
network file formats (pajek, sociomatrix, dot) and displays the network on
screen. It can create random networks (lattice, same degree, etc.). The
user can visually modify an existing network or draw a new one using the
mouse. Network and actor properties, such as distances, centralities,
diameter, etc., can easily be computed.
Changes: Erdos-Renyi random network creation. A new layout method: node
sizes according to their indegrees. No node limit. You can load any network
you want. loadPajek() recognizes Arcslists and Matrix edges formats. Edges
are only drawn once (faster loading and node movement). A new LCD widget
displays network density, and there are some improvements to the dock.
In-file declared node colors and shapes are used as they should be.
Progress Bars (F10) appear when creating random nets over 300 nodes. This
release has a new, modern logo (it still resembles a snail, though.)

Tue, Sep 30th 2008 18:20
System :: Archiving :: Backup
System :: Archiving :: Compression
About: storebackup is a backup utility that stores files on other disks.
It includes several optimizations that reduce the disk space needed and
improve performance, and unifies the advantages of traditional full and
incremental backups. Depending on its contents, every file is stored only
once on disk. It includes tools for analyzing backup data and restoring.
Once archived, files are accessible by mounting filesystems (locally, or
via Samba or NFS). It is easy to install and configure.
Changes: This release introduces the option lateLinks, which allows
setting hard links later (on the server) as a separate step (a speed up by
a factor of 2 to 70 depending on the environment) for the direct backup
time. A program for rule-based searching in the backup (e.g. defining rules
depending on age, size, name, and owner) has been added. There is much
better documentation: a detailed description is available as a PDF and on
the homepage. There are many other improvements.

regular expressions and use them in data profiling analyses. A lot of
options exist for each indicator, which change the behavior of the
indicator so that it gives you more pertinent information. Data quality
options on indicators alert you when your data quality is not what you
expected.
Changes: Support has been added for DB2, SQL Server, Oracle with service
name, and PostgreSQL. There is a new kind of analysis on a connection.
Results of profiling are available with data and graphics, not just with
graphics. Data quality alerts have been added. You can import your regular
expressions. There are many new ergonomic features. Some bugs have been
fixed.

[041] - Web100 2.5.21 (Stable)
by imipak (http://freshmeat.net/users/imipak/)
Tue, Sep 30th 2008 20:33
Software Development :: Libraries
System :: Networking
System :: Operating System Kernels
About: The Web100 project was created to produce a complete host-software
environment that will run common TCP applications at 100% of the available
bandwidth, regardless of the magnitude of a network's capability. Web100
has endowed TCP with better instrumentation. This instrumentation is the
foundation for both the TCP autotuning performed in process-level code and
the process- level tools designed to locate bottlenecks within the
following major subsystems: the sending application, the sending OS, the
Internet path, the receiving OS, and the receiving application. Measurement
tools have also been built on this instrumentation to display performance
indicators to end-users, as well as provide internal diagnostics for
network and system administrators.
Changes: Updated to support Linux 2.6.26.

[042] - WiKID Strong Authentication System 3.1.2
by nowen (http://freshmeat.net/users/nowen/)
Tue, Sep 30th 2008 20:40
Security
Security :: Cryptography
System :: Networking
About: The WiKID Strong Authentication System is a highly scalable, secure
two-factor authentication system. It is simple to implement and maintain,
allows users to be validated automatically, requires no hardware tokens,
has a simple API for application support (via Ruby, PHP, Java, COM, Python,
etc.), supports multiple domains, and supports replication for fault
tolerance and scalability. It also supports mutual /host and transaction
authentication.
Changes: This release adds add significant functionality to enhance
security. The token client is associated with the PC through its CPU or MAC
address. During token registration and passcode requests, the locked token
requires the use of a virtual keypad presented in the dialog. This protects
against keystroke loggers. On a 3.1 server, you can now check the box to
"Require Locked Tokens" for the domain.
