by HaMLeT (http://freshmeat.net/users/vmarchese/)
Tue, Oct 14th 2008 00:30
Scientific/Engineering
About: AcouSTO is a linear acoustics solver based on a Boundary Element
Method (BEM) solution of the Kirchhoff-Helmholtz Integral Equation (KHIE).
The code is written in C, and includes an MPI-based preliminary
parallelization scheme. Plan wave scattered by a unit sphere. An (extended)
FORTRAN version of this code has been used for years in the authors'
research group, and has reached a remarkable level of reliability. The
numerical formulation has been well assessed, as the large number of
scientific papers produced throughout the years demonstrates.
Changes: A bug in impedance evaluation has been fixed.

plug-in architecture built on Ruby on Rails.
Changes: Included are improvements to the platform to allow login with
full names ("Joe User"), which are typically the default in Mac OS X and
Windows clients, in addition to allowing login with standard Linux
usernames. The shares management tab has been customized to detect the OS
of the browser and display URLs that will take the user directly to the
share independently of the OS (Mac or Windows).

not logged on. This allows the user to start an extraction and disconnect
from the system, letting clive finish the work.
Changes: This release fixes GoogleVideo support and addresses some minor
bugs.

[013] - extract_url.pl 1.4
by memoryhole (http://freshmeat.net/users/memoryhole/)
Tue, Oct 14th 2008 00:44
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: This release adds support for a configurable alternative
selection key (via ALTSELECT), allowing a person to, in effect, temporarily
negate the PERSISTENT setting. It adds conditional support for long options
if Getopt::Long is available.

About: FastDup is a tool to find identical files within directory trees,
with a focus on the ability to scan very large trees and files in
reasonable amounts of time. The use of clever techniques and optimizations
to avoid comparisons allows fastdup to significantly outperform many
existing solutions, and has a benefit of being entirely I/O bound
(insignificant CPU usage). It is released under a modified BSD license,
allowing all use, redistribution, and modification for non-commercial
purposes.
Changes: This release includes vast improvements in memory usage,
especially when scanning large numbers of files, and more informative and
active output. Numerous internal changes were also made with the aim of
cleanliness and future expandability.

[015] - FastFormat 0.2.1 (alpha 4)
by Dr Proctor (http://freshmeat.net/users/DrProctor/)
Tue, Oct 14th 2008 20:15
Software Development :: Internationalization
Software Development :: Localization
About: FastFormat is a C/C++ output and formatting library whose design
parameters are complete type-safety, efficiency, genericity, and
extensibility. It is simple to use and extend, highly portable (to any
platform or compiler), and it upholds the C tradition of you only pay for
what you use. FastFormat supports output and formatting of statements of
arbitrary complexity, consisting of heterogeneous types. FastFormat writes
to output "sinks", which can be of arbitrary type.
Changes: The distribution contains a large-scale reworking of the contract
enforcement API, to put it in line with best practices (and with recent
releases of Pantheios library). Full no-namespace compatibility (both in
the client code and internal to the library) was also verified. Various
other minor fixes were made to put the library in a position ready for
proper (non-alpha) evolution. This release requires version 1.9.57 or later
of STLSoft.

Tue, Oct 14th 2008 00:28
Security
Software Development
System :: Monitoring
About: Likewise Open is an application that joins Linux, Unix, and Mac OS
machines to Microsoft Active Directory and securely authenticates users
with their domain credentials. Features include: joining non-Windows
systems to Active Directory domains in a single step from the command line
or from a GUI; authenticating users with a single user name and password;
enforcing the same password policies for all platforms; supporting multiple
forests with one-way and two-way cross forest trusts; caching credentials
in case your domain controller goes down; and providing single sign-on for
SSH and Putty. It does not require Active Directory schema changes for
installation.

[030] - Lzip 1.0
by Antonio Diaz Diaz (http://freshmeat.net/users/ant_diaz/)
Tue, Oct 14th 2008 17:21
System :: Archiving :: Compression
About: Lzip is a lossless data compressor based on the LZMA algorithm,
with very safe integrity checking and a user interface almost identical to
the one of bzip2. Lzip is only a data compressor, not an archiver. It has
no facilities for multiple files, encryption, or archive-splitting, but, in
the Unix tradition, relies on utilities such as GNU Tar for these tasks.
Lzip is very well suited for software distribution.
Changes: Small changes have been made to the documentation and user
messages.

[032] - msort 8.51
by Bill Poser (http://freshmeat.net/users/billposer/)
Tue, Oct 14th 2008 17:10
Text Processing
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: It is now possible to set the random number generator seed from
the command-line, allowing replication of random sorts. Whatever its
origin, the seed used is now reported in the log. More regression tests
have been added.

by David Nichols (http://freshmeat.net/users/david_nichols/)
Tue, Oct 14th 2008 16:48
Database
Software Development :: Interpreters
About: Qore is a modular, multi-threaded, SQL-integrated, weakly-typed
scripting language with procedural and object-oriented features, powerful
and easy-to-use data types, structures, and operators, and a clean and
easy-to-learn/read syntax. Qore supports safe signal handling, exception
handling and exception-safe programming, XML and JSON integration as well
as TLS/SSL socket support, HTTP, XML-RPC, JSON-RPC communication, easy date
arithmetic, strong encryption, and deadlock detection. It was designed for
SMP scalability.
Changes: The initial 0.7.0 release was missing CPU support for x86_64
CPUs; this caused an ABI incompatibility problem and also a lack of atomic
operation support and missing stack guard for 64-bit x86_64 builds. The
source package and all RPMs were affected. The release has been repackaged
and the repaired release is available for download.

Education
Scientific/Engineering
About: Seismic Toolkit is a tool for processing and displaying seismic
signal data in a graphical interface. It reads seismic signals in SAC
format, and provides a variety of signal processing, such as filtering,
spectral analysis, polarisation analysis, time-frequency representation,
Hilbert transform, and singular value decomposition. Some utilities are
included for useful seismological applications, like computation of Seismic
Moment Mo, Mantle magnitude Mm and Moment magnitude Mw, MTPA spectral
analysis, plotting focal mechanisms, computation (and plotting) of
instrumental response from poles and zeros, and some usefull GMT (Generic
Mapping Tool) scripts for plotting signals, responses, and time-frequency
in Postscript files for high quality prints.
Changes: A new function was added for removing estimated signal from a
Fourier Series. This functionnality is useful for removing periodic noise
without filtering, thus without phase shift. New menu buttons were added in
the ALL Channel and NZE window.

[044] - Shttp 0.0.11
by swivel (http://freshmeat.net/users/swivel/)
Tue, Oct 14th 2008 16:45
Internet :: WWW/HTTP :: HTTP Servers
Software Development :: Embedded Systems
About: Shttp is a simple, partial HTTP/1.1 implementation built using the
ServerKit framework. It's a little over 1000 lines of code, and serves well
as a minimal lightweight HTTP server in closed/controlled/static content
settings, as well as a learning tool for those interested in developing
TCP-service-providing modules using ServerKit. Illustrating how easy it is
to build efficient server programs using ServerKit, this module has
demonstrated 7200 requests/second in AB benchmarks.
Changes: When using a UNIX domain socket listener address, the socket was
bound with the existing umask, which was likely to exclude writable by
other. Now when binding to a UNIX domain socket listener, shttp sets the
umask momentarily to permit this, since it is likely (and desirable) that
httpx will not be running as the same user shttp instances are run as.
