System :: Archiving :: Backup
Utilities
About: Back In Time is a simple backup system for the GNOME desktop
inspired by the "flyback project" and "TimeVault". The backup is done by
taking snapshots of a specified set of directories. All you have to do is
configure: where to save snapshot, what directories to backup, and when a
backup should be done (manually, every hour, every day, every week, or
every month). It acts as a "user mode" backup system. This means that you
can backup and restore only folders to which you have write access.
Changes: This release add size and date columns in the files list, and
changes some texts.

bswitch, it will automatically reload. The German translation and the docs
have been updated.

Internet
Printing
Software Development :: Libraries
About: CUPS provides a portable printing layer for Unix(r)-based operating
systems. It has been developed to promote a standard printing solution for
all Unix vendors and users. CUPS provides the System V and Berkeley command
line interfaces, and uses the Internet Printing Protocol ("IPP") as the
basis for managing print jobs and queues. The Line Printer Daemon (LPD)
Server Message Block (SMB), and AppSocket (a.k.a. JetDirect) protocols are
also supported with reduced functionality. CUPS adds network printer
browsing and PostScript Printer Description ("PPD") based printing options
to support real world printing under UNIX. It includes an image file RIP
that supports printing of image files to non-PostScript printers. A
customized version of GNU Ghostscript 7.05 for CUPS called ESP Ghostscript
is available separately to support printing of PostScript files within the
CUPS driver framework. Sample drivers for Dymo, EPSON, HP, and OKIDATA
printers are included that use these filters.
Changes: Three integer overflow bugs, an incompatibility with Firefox 3,
several printing bugs, and several scheduler bugs were fixed.

uses novel code generation and runtime self optimization techniques (along
with many other tricks).
Changes: This release fixes a bug that causes incorrect results to be
computed in programs that use both REDFT11 (a.k.a. DCT-IV) and RODFT11
(a.k.a. DST-IV) at the same time.

[032] - OpenHPI 2.13.0 (Development)
by pdphan (http://freshmeat.net/users/pdphan/)
Fri, Oct 10th 2008 20:26
System :: Diagnostics
System :: Hardware
System :: Monitoring
About: Open HPI is an open source project created to provide an open
implementation of the SA Forum's Hardware Platform Interface (HPI). It
provides a universal interface for Platform Management, including hardware
sensor monitoring and control.
Changes: This new release enables redundant domains with multiple daemon
connections. The new design converts a daemon into a single domain.
Additionally, each client will be able to connect to multiple daemons. So
the client, in order to connect to multiple domains, will have to know
about them through a client configuration file. It will then connect to the
specified domain through a connection to the daemon corresponding to that
domain.

Text Editors
About: peppy ((ap)Proximated (X)Emacs Powered by Python) is a
wxPython/Scintilla-based editor written in and extensible through Python.
It attempts to provide an XEmacs-like multi-window, multi-tabbed framework
with low coupling, so it's easy to add support for new types of files.
Changes: This release adds "springtabs", a sidebar popup system to present
IDE-like features without cluttering up the main window when the features
are not needed. The function menu was removed and replaced with a
hierarchical code explorer using the new springtabs.

Database :: API
Internet
Software Development :: Libraries :: Application Frameworks
About: ServerKit helps developers quickly build efficient, scalable, and
uniformly configured, installed, and executed multi-threaded server
applications for Linux. A core server program handles configuration
parsing, database connection pool creation, and switching of users.
Application-specific modules are loaded at runtime and access the already
parsed configuration data and database connection pools via simple
well-defined program interfaces. ServerKit also provides a rich API for
quick and painless module development.
Changes: Some compiler warnings showing up with newer gcc versions have
been eliminated. The license has been changed from the GPLv2 to LGPLv2.1.

[041] - SHOGUN 0.6.5
by Soeren Sonnenburg (http://freshmeat.net/users/sonnenburg/)
Fri, Oct 10th 2008 20:35
Scientific/Engineering
Scientific/Engineering :: Artificial Intelligence
Scientific/Engineering :: Bioinformatics
About: SHOGUN is a machine learning toolbox whose focus is on large scale
kernel methods and especially on Support Vector Machines (SVM). It provides
a generic SVM object interfacing to several different SVM implementations,
all making use of the same underlying, efficient kernel implementations.
Apart from SVMs and regression, SHOGUN also features a number of linear
methods like Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), Linear Programming Machine
(LPM), (Kernel) Perceptrons, and algorithms to train hidden Markov models.
SHOGUN can be used from within C++, Matlab, R, Octave, and Python.
Changes: This release contains several cleanups and bugfixes. It
implements a general kernel normalizer that can be attached to kernels via
set_normalizer() in the modular and set_kernel_normalization in the static
interfaces. This fixes a long standing bug in the
WeightedDegreePositionStringKernel normalization, but also breaks
compatibility for a few kernels. This release integrates the Oligo
string-kernel, and adds distances BrayCurtis, ChiSquare, Cosine, and
Tanimoto. It supports Intel MKL on 32-bit architectures. It fixes
compilation when Atlas/Lapack is not available.

[044] - The Python audio processing suite 0.0.3

Fri, Oct 10th 2008 09:01
Multimedia :: Sound/Audio :: Analysis
Scientific/Engineering :: Mathematics
Scientific/Engineering :: Visualization
About: The Python audio processing suite is a module that contains a
variety of convenience functions to process audio signals. It can be used
to plot spectral analyses of a song across time and to quickly ascertain
encoding quality, but the instrumental goal of this suite is to robustly
identify duplicated songs, regardless of which album they were released in,
encoding quality, or start time.
Changes: The command line interface to the library was enhanced. A series
of bugs in it was fixed. Performance was enhanced. The ability to plot the
sound visually was developed.

[045] - TRIXER 0.1
by Marco Caminati (http://freshmeat.net/users/caminati/)
Fri, Oct 10th 2008 18:02
System :: Archiving :: Mirroring
About: TRIXER creates catalogs of transparent file indexes. A transparent
file index is an exact mirror of a directory, except that each of its file
is void, thus "taking no space", while apparently having the same size of
its indexed counterpart so as to describe it fully. This is accomplished by
combining sparse files support with fusecompress on-the-fly compression
technology. This is useful for many purposes, e.g. creating a catalog of
your CD/DVD-ROM library to browse its contents without having to
physically access it. The advantage of this software is that a TRIXER
catalog is a plain mountable ext2 filesystem, allowing huge
interoperability.

About: WebGUI is a content management framework built to allow average
business users to build and maintain complex Web sites. It is modular,

FAQs, link lists, blogs, SQL reports, a Web services interface, and a very
configurable user privilege and profiling system.
Changes: This version includes fixes for two security bugs, issues with
several Thingy form control types, and anonymous registration.

profiled applications are immediately listed on the Welcome screen.
Retained size is now calculated up to 50% (32-bit) or 30% (64-bit) faster,
compared to 7.5.x. This improvement is especially important in the Class
list view. The 64-bit JVM is automatically used under Windows 64-bit to
achieve better performance and user experience.
